At this point why don't we just do a slow draft? We did it last time and it worked great if I remember correctly. Or Friday night. I'm ready to draft whenever.

Heh, I thought the draft went pretty quickly... .

My week is pretty wide open. I have the occasional appointment and what not but most are in the morning or afternoon. If it can be set up to where we can go in ahead of time and just build lists to autopick from, I'm fine with that.

Because we all have things come up. Vacation with the spouse, kid's birthday parties (my past weekend), family illnesses, school stuff (my every weekend it seems), etc. Eternal Sunshine may have just been busy/had a lot of real life stuff come up over the past month or two. I have one kid who seems to have two or three different appointments every week for the past month with the dentist, the orthodontist, etc. but after this week there's nothing for another month.

I am referring to in general for this. Not right now. Shouldnt this be something worked out during the offseason? Or as soon as Yahoo! opens fantasy hockey for the year? Out of the 6 teams I have for fantasy hockey, this has the least amount of teams and is the only one not scoring points yet.

We should have a co commish for this very reason.

Mantha keeps saying we did a slow draft last year but I don't recall that, we did a Sunday night draft I think and it was done in a couple hours. I'm game with a slow draft though, it sounds like we'd be able to start the season a lot quicker if we do that. How does that work, do you just get an email or app notification if you're on the clock?

I could be thinking of another league. Either way it seems like the best option given everyone’s availability. It will just be in between 10am and 10pm everyday or something. Three hours to pick for the first few rounds then speed it up in later rounds.

we didn't have a slow draft. The regular draft takes about an hour if people don't take up the whole clock every pick. I have a hard time believing ppl can't set an hour out of their day to draft especially when you can do it from your phone.

Works best with something like Facebook messanger or some system where you can tag who is OTC (on the Clock). I think with Yahoo you can set it up to have a longer time for drafting per pick. I could be wrong. Could set it for something like 10 hrs that way it doesn't stall out and it will autopick if you don't have something queued up. Even if we had a 24 hr clock for drafting, that rarely will ever expire from my experience. And allows you to craft your team more methodically instead of rush to pick the best guy and screw up.

I'd be willing to co-commish and spearhead this. Paging @Eternal Sunshine .

But yes, let's pick a day, normal draft, and that's that. No, not everyone will be there. That was true last year as well. But we'll set it at least a week out so everyone can have time to adjust their autodraft settings.

And to get this thing rolling, we'll just have to make some big boy calls about our new expansion teams and deal with imperfect systems. But luckily it's not a money league, it's for fun, and I think that goal is easily achieved.

Going through something similar on my end. Sending some good vibes your way, buddy.

If anyone would like my spot for the league, they are welcome to take it.
