I guess my schedule isn't all that difficult, basically I'm available any night from 6:30 p.m until 11:30 p.m. central time. That would get later and earlier during days off and stuff but I'm guessing that's when most people are available. We could do it in 3 different nights for an hour at a time or 2 hours one night and 1 hour the next or something.

well i thought that 12 est would be a time where everybody is at home. i dont want to get the whole draft done in one night. just like 4-5 rounds. then we can have a day to adjust everything then finish it out message board style

Sorry for the confusion, it was my fault I didn't realize that you had tossed out 12 e.t. as a possible draft time. That works for me, it may be a bit late if I work at 7 am the next day (which statistically is only 33% of the time) but if it's a weekend I can handle not getting much sleep for a weekend shift.

don't like midnight. sunday during the day would be better. You could probably do it all at once, but instead of skipping people who miss their spot you should create a defualt draft list like most fantasy leagues have. Obviously it wouldn't be perfect, but I think it's better than skipping a person. Then if the person hasn't provided their own list, they get whoever's next on the default list.

Just list it as you'll get whoever the highest overall rating avialable at the time is. So it might not be who you want but you'd know that at least you wouldn't be getting the towel boys:)

I have already previously posted my concerns about drafting from a pre-ranked list. Is it really worth trying to complete a draft quickly and picking players for other teams just to get it done fast? This is how stacked teams come about. It is not fair to those whose schedules don't fit in to the one pre-determined time slot. I am a chef at a restaurant so my hours vary widely and I have to work late quite frequently, so I can't tell you when I am free or not way ahead of time. I would rather everyone have a fair and equal chance to select the players for their style and team, rather than getting picks they dont care for just to have a fast draft.

McDonalds is open varying hours, perhaps you can trade with another chef?

LOL... and paulie, i mean no offense, but we cant really stop a draft because of one person. List drafts arent a problem ususally, atleast for fantasy sports. As long as you rank your players right where you want them. You shouldnt be drafting based on other teams too much anyway

if everybody wouldnt be able to make a live draft then we wouldnt have it.
the live draft is only a possiblity if everyone can be their. otherwise we will just do a message board draft like everyother league

Here's an idea: Why don't we have everyone send a ranking list to disasta or whoever wants to go through all of them. You could say they have to be in by a certain date in 2 weeks or whatever and that way the draft would go very fast. I absolutely hate making a list of 144 players but if everyone had to do it I could live with it. Whoever figures out the teams from the lists could then post everybody's lists after the draft so we could check them. That's assuming that we ever get through the draft to decide where we draft. Why is that taking so long? I don't want to sound like a complainer since this is my first league but seriously, that seems like it's taking forever.
