Quick reminder/recommendation to try out a few mock drafts, especially if you've never done a draft before.

I've also put the link in the OP for easy reference.
Draft is looking like it will be Friday, March 26 at either 8 or 9 EST. But there's still time for more opinions to be heard...
I've sent PM's to those who haven't chimed in on their draft preferences. I'd like to finalize the draft time by Monday.
Warbler, if we do Friday night, will 9pm EST work for you? We've got more votes for 9 than 8 and I'd prefer 9 also.
That works for me. Let's do this like Brutis!
I'm sorry, but I will be unavailable Friday night.
Oops, I thought you were good for Friday night.
What about Saturday night? It sounds like everyone else who has answered can do that (I think?). If not, we'll just do Friday night and you'll have your team auto drafted like the others who don't respond.
yeah, I originally thought I was good for Friday Night, but now I'm not due to circumstances beyond my control. Sorry about that. Saturday Night, I think I can do.
Crap! - I forgot the account I created to join the league. I'll have to wait until I get to work and check for your email.
You might want to change it to a more accessible account if possible. I'm trying to post all news in this thread, but direct communication (such as trade offers) will go to the yahoo account.
btw, we're still at 9 people because I have not heard back from ricardo on what problems he's having with yahoo. I believe we will end up with one more person, so it will be either 10 or 11 depending on ricardo. It will work fine either way.
I think at this point we can safely put the draft on Saturday night, since all but one respondent can make it. Time will be either 8 or 9 EST, probably 9 but I'll make a final decision tomorrow.
Hey, it's elbarto's girlfriend- I am all set up now for the league- if you need me to do anything else let me know. My team name is danielleosaurus rex. Look forward to playing. Thanks!
Welcome daniellepav. Let me know if you have any questions.
Oh no, a girl??!? Now I'm going to have to put on some pants when I post!
Want to book yourself or a guest on THE VFP Show? PM me!
Dont you hate pants?!!!
Ok, I think more than enough time has passed for draft opinions. I'm setting the draft for Saturday, March 27, at 9 pm EST.
Since not everyone has been replying to this thread, I will be sending out both PM's and emails through the yahoo system to let everyone know the date and time. If you read this, please post to let me know so you can save me some time and save you some email.
Also, make sure you take a look at your default player rankings (provided by Yahoo) and edit them if you like. If you can't make the draft (or miss any time during the draft) your team will be selected for you by the computer, based on these rankings. Even if you will be at the draft, it's a good idea edit the rankings - I'm not sure how current they are.
Hey commish, what happens if I am not around for the draft? will autodraft take care of it? do I need to do anything to enable that? theres an offchance I may have to audition for a band at that time and I cant get out of it (sorry).
Let me know if this doesn't help...

You don't need to enable it - the computer will automatically use the yahoo default rankings unless you edit them.
awesome, thanks frink!
By the way...each and every one of you IS TEH MEGASUK!*
*not really, there just isn't enough smack talk in here
Oh ya?.....Well, my group is gonna totally make more goals than your's!!!!!

Well, I'm gonna score more than you...
...and I'll beat you in the league too. ;-)

So, the draft is a little less than 48 hours from now.
Any questions regarding how the draft works, how the league is set up, etc.?
Draft is tomorrow night at 9pm EST. This is your last notice...
And last call for questions.
Other than that, who are you taking first? I suggest Tommy Lasorda. He still plays for the Dodgers, right?
Have I mentioned that I'm going to whip all of you tonight?
Have I mentioned you all suck at smack?
No?
Well I will, and you do.
:p
all your base are belong to me!
