[Pip]

Ready to get this road on the show

 

[Pip]

Any open spots...?

Not sure, i'll ask Andy. Draft is tonight though

 

[Taelin]

You should really pay attention in class

We're watching some sort of film, so meh.

 

[Pip]

Disappointed in your lack of commitment to the video

 

[Royal Canuck]

So I did my pre-draft rankings from 1-125, and when I saved it, the whole thing reset and only listed my top-25!

[Reverend Mayhem]

I'm in New West today. I got ahead on my accounting. So proud.

You don't need to do pre-rankings if you'll be at the draft.

 

[tc 23]

Yeah, I find the whole process of doing pre-draft rankings to be extremely useless and tedious if you're going to be at the draft as I always deviate from my list based on circumstances that happen (i.e. goalies or dmen suddenly going really quickly or accumulating too many of one position). I just make a mental note of players that I'm interested in and where they generally slot in and decide on the spot which player is the best for me to take.

 

[Pip]

I find making a list very useful, and although I rarely stick to it, it does help me remember players that I may forget if I'm picking 'on the spot'. If you make an informed list by actually researching all/most of the players, you can more easily snag someone that everyone is forgetting. Especially in the later rounds

 

[tc 23]

I've already done a ton of research on the draft and potential steals in late rounds since I'm in two pools with buddies irl with some pretty decent cash on the line ($1400 in one $500 in the other) so I have a lot of this info drilled into my head already.

Same. Plus I tend to panic when I see the timer, so a pre-draft ranking list helps.

To each their own. I am a person who likes to have a list in front of me, and choose from a "shortlist" of 4-5 guys that are my BPAs. That's when need comes into account. Also, moneybags, settle down

 

[canuck4life16]

the timer is like 2 mins or so per person.....I did a mock draft

Never!

 

[tc 23]

Yeah, it's 1:30-2:00 per person (don't remember). The whole draft will likely take a few hours. The ones I did had less rounds and still took a couple hours.

 

[Pip]

Live Draft in: 7 hours and 54 minutes

:0

 

[nameless1]

There was a draft I finished in half an hour.
Granted there was only 2 players online...
And it was football.

 

[nameless1]

Yeah, it's 1:30-2:00 per person (don't remember). The whole draft will likely take a few hours. The ones I did had less rounds and still took a couple hours.

It is usually 90 seconds...
Unless Andy changed the settings.

 

[tc 23]

Unless Andy changed the settings.

Yeah, that's what I thought as well but I wasn't certain and someone mentioned it was around 2:00 per pick so I was wondering if it was changed or something.

It is 2 minutes.
I guess Andy changed it.

 

[Pip]

You and me, convocation mall.

****ty music there right now

 

[Taelin]

****ty music there right now

There's always ****** music there.

I don't do much research anymore, all the research I did for this season has been done already. I mainly go on hunches and draft strategy so I don't make up a whole bunch of lists for these kinds of pools.

 

[Pip]

There's always ****** music there.

It was especially ****ty today

 

[Taelin]

It was especially ****ty today

Ouch...

 

[Pip]

It hurt my ears
