We're on the homestretch people. After the current 19th round is completed, there are only 4 more rounds to go. Hopefully we can get through those as quickly as possible and start the tournament in the next couple of weeks.
When the tournament is ready to go, it'll be in the Fantasy Hockey forum, and it will also include a poll for people to vote on which team they like the most. Each of you is encouraged to vote at that point as well, but instead of voting for the team you think is the strongest, you should vote for the team that you think would be your stiffest competition.
BTW, if you want, I can speed up the picking of reserves in the last 3 rounds. What we can do is after round 20 is done, everyone sends me a list of players they want for reserves, ranked according to preference, and with a note that specifies what mix of positions you want. I can then use those lists to fill in the last few spots and announce it here. In that case, we'd only have 2 more time-consuming rounds to be completed. And if things go quickly, we could very well be done drafting by next week.
I also wanted to take this opportunity to thank everyone who has taken the time to participate in this draft. It took far longer than I expected to get through, but I can still say that it's been (for hte most part) pretty fun working with this interesting pool of players.
