Ok, so thinking about the draft a little...

Opening Day is Monday, April 5. There is one "opening night" game Sunday, April 4, which is LAME, but never mind that. Seems like sometime during a weekend would be the best time for the draft, but which weekend? We could do it either Friday April 2 or Saturday April 3, but it might be better to give everyone a little more time prior to the season starting. So I'm thinking either Friday night March 26 or Saturday night March 27.

It seems like the season is a long way off, but that weekend is only a few weeks away...

Thoughts? Also, what time zone is everybody in? I'd like to pick a time that works best for the most people. I'm Mountain Time Zone, and I'd prefer sometime around 7pm local (9pm eastern) but I can be somewhat flexible I think. The draft will probably take 2-3 hours as a rough guess.

If you haven't tried it yet, there is a mock draft feature on Yahoo that can give you a feel for how the draft software works and give you some practice. Link is here:

We are doing a standard draft (not an auction draft).

Finally, any of you new folk have any questions yet? Have you had a chance to read through the rules and settings, or check out any of the websites I recommended?
