Strange it didn't let you send to me, I've got a clear inbox?

I'll register up tomorrow.

[Sylar]

Sorry, I had private messaging disabled for some reason. Fixed it now.

I think I'm already registered - I can see the league, but it does still contain Gatey's team I think, so it might just be a legacy league from last year?

I've reset my private messaging, so If you could fire me a reminder of the id and password, that would be great.

Random name generator to determine the order is fine by me. I've done sod all research this year, so I'll be winging it a bit this year

[Sylar]

Can we perhaps use similar ground rules for the draft as last year? 12 hours per pick, and if missed, end of the round. With 14 people, I don't want to use the 24 hours on the first round, as it could theoretically take 2 full weeks to get through that.

PM sent, players from last year have been removed leaving 2 free slots for 2 new players this year which is Lugz and stevefamou5

Apologies for the delay in comms guys I've been on Holiday, at last count we were at 13 so will need 1 more unless there are any dropouts. It's looking like a dreaded offline draft unless we can all find a common ground for an online draft.
Will send out PM's once we reach an even number one way or another

Thanks for setting things up! Happy to do either offline or live draft, will try to set aside time for it if everyone is keen for a live draft. Sunday night seemed to work ok the last time we did a live draft. Another benefit of the live draft is we can do it later so that any injuries pre-season aren't as devastating for a team, especially if you draft now and then lose your first round pick.

If we are doing the offline draft we need to get going quickly though, so I'd be happy with random name selection for draft order and happy to stick to 12 hours per pick maximum even in the first round.

[Haymaker]

I'd favour an offline draft as my work schedule is funny (and I'm 5 behind) but I'm game for whatever. You guys helped me out last year so I'll go with whatever.

[SmithyHibee]

I’m already in the league! Don’t mind what the draft set up is, game for whatever rules apply

[hibsbollah]

If its broken, don't fix it is the motto I go for when it comes to fantasy drafts.

This weekend good for everyone?

[lugz]

That's me all joined up, happy to go with the majority

[Willis1875]

Using fantasy pros draft order generator at 10:42am this is the draft order:

1.Brythehibee
2.Sergio Sledge
3.Haymaker
4.Sylar
5.Calvin
6.Nellio
7.Lugz
8.Grammy
9.hibernianyank
10.Willis1875
11.stevefamou5
12.hibsbollah
13.NOLA
14.Smithyhibee

It will be the usual snake draft, 12 hours time limit on picks including 1st round. Clock starts once Brythehibee makes his first pick..... Happy with that?

I'll update the WhatsApp group to give a heads up for anybody that hasn't checked on this thread the last couple of days.
Anybody that isn't on the WhatsApp group and would like to be then drop me a PM with your phone number and I'll add you to it(it helped move things along last year)
Cheers

[brythehibby]

With the first pick of the draft I’ll take...... Saquon Barkley

Edit - for anyone not in the WhatsApp group drop me a PM with your number I’ll add you. Also I’ll take out the guys from last year that aren’t in it.

[Calvin]

Do we have a spreadsheet going yet?

[grammyb111]

Can we not do an online draft with no time limit (essentially tracking the players pick). The most painful part of the process is working out who is all available, and the spreadsheet while better than nothing was still not ideal...

Agree with that. If there was an option like this it would be ideal

[nellio]

Id prefer that too.

[Willis1875]

Sounds good, anybody know how go about it?
Nfl fantasy gives you a Live, Auto and offline option with a max 300secs per pick

[Sergio sledge]

I've been out of reach of the internet since this morning, have we started?! I've not even made up my cheat sheets yet!

Think it's been put on the backburner for a couple of weeks, it's still up in the air about how we are going to draft

There's no way we should do an offline draft without a time limit, it'd descend into a farce. Otherwise I'm easy however we do it.

I think Yahoo might have that option (I know right, they still exist‽) or maybe it’s ESPN.

I do like the NFL interface though.

[Sergio sledge]

I use fantasypros to track picks, and they allow you to set up a private mock draft with up to 24hours per pick. We could do that and then transfer all the picks to NFL.com for the league?

I've never tried it before, but it could be worth a try, I'm happy to set it up and invite everyone if you want to try it out?

[Willis1875]

That sounds like a plan Sergio

If folks want to try it out I've set it up on fantasy pros with 12 hours per pick. Click the link to register for it. You might need to register a free account to sign up, but that should be all. Once everyone is in I'll sort out the draft order and we can set an agreed start time for it.

[Willis1875]

Signed up and good to go

I can't seem to change your position in the draft, could you see if you can get into it and select your position (10th)? I can only change my position for some reason.

[Haymaker]

Says the league no longer exists?

EDIT: I'm in.

[SmithyHibee]

That’s me joined it

Yup that's it, if you could all move yourselves to the correct position in the draft according to the order set earlier in the thread then when we agree to start the draft I'll get it going.
