I waiting for some more votes... So far the online draft has it by a nose. So I guess we will go that route unless we can't find a time and date that most can make it.
Personally weekends are bad for me not sure about everyone else so would prefer a weekday. So going to through a few dates out and see what we can do.

8/24 - 7:30pm CST
8/25 - 7:30pm CST
8/31 - 7:30pm CST
9/1 - 7:30pm CST
9/2- 7:30pm CST
9/3- 7:30pm CST
9/7 - 7:30pm CST

Like I said if these dates don't work the times can change but we don't have a lot of time unless anyone is interested in an early Saturday or Sunday draft.

7:30 is best on a Monday or Wednesday for me, so my vote would be 08/24, 08/31, or 09/02.

I voted for 9/1 on the site, but I can make any of the days work other than 8/31. I like the 7:30 start time but not sure how that will affect anyone farther to the west.

I used to sit outside all night and drink bud lite and smoke Marlboros and everyone thought I was a bum. Now I sit outside all night and drink craft beers and smoke cigars and everyone thinks I have class.

I can most likely make any of these work, 7:30 on a weeknight should only interfere with my Google Herfin' LOL

So the FF noob has a few questions on the draft

Will it be

Roster   Scoring   Draft Format
 Default     Default   Standard

And how much time should I figure for the draft??

I truthfully have no idea on any of this :confused:

The reason I ask is I am trying a couple mock drafts to figure it out a bit

Kent,

Go to the league and go to settings.

There is a list that shows you starting lineup and then below that tells you the scoring. For the most part they are pretty standard. I added in a few bonuses.

Best thing to do before the draft is make sure you know who is hurt and suspended. You can go in and edit the pre draft list and that should show up when your drafting.
Make sure you log on early if you have any questions we can try and help you understand how the draft format works. You won't know which draft position you are in until right before the draft it will be randomly done.

The draft will go round 1....1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12... Round 2... 12,11,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1...Round 3...1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12
and so on.

You also might want to get on the site and do a mock draft that will get you used to the screen and how it will work... Best of all it doesn't count and gets you some practice and maybe an idea of how the draft might fall.

How much time did we have in between picks last year? It seemed like it was a little too fast. I mean I think we were done in like an hour or less, but if felt a little too rushed. What are our options with that?

I updated it to 90 seconds... i think last year was 60 seconds... I can go to 2mins but after that it's getting way to long.

 I think 90 seconds should be good. Thanks John

yes... i can also ask everyone to take their time in the first round it try and stall for you unless you are one of the 1st picks so i would get your first 24 or so picks set up.
