XPertLeagues will randomly select the draft order for all league participants. Does anyone object to me using the web site to generate the draft order? If no one objects, the draft order will be assigned on Tuesday evening.

I want to do this in advance so that players may consider trading draft picks.

EDIT: Point of clarification. Tuesday = August 10th.

Sounds good to me...as long as I get to pick before Iceman. I want Quincy "4:20" Carter's draft rights.

I've got no problem as long as I have picks 1-12 in the first round.

What is the time limit between picks? Hopefully it is really low, say 1min or so because with the draft starting @ 10p vs. the 9p I had orig thought I'd need the draft over by midnite, and that is pushing it.

I think that it will go fast, people will have picks ready.

Alas, the minimum setting is two minutes. Still, I'd be surprised if it went past midnight

It would be nice if you could change your own name. I see where I can change it with within the commisioner tools.

Send me your request via the league message board (Now that we have our 12 players, I think league business should be conducted there) and I will get it taken care of for you.

Once you are logged in, click on the preferences link in the top right hand corner. It is there you can change your information. Changing/Creating your team name option is in the left hand corner or the template.

people are stupid



I was looking through some mock drafts and Jamal Lewis didn't get picked untill the end of the 2nd round in one of them.

Would you gamble your first rounder away on somebody who might not play this season?

I think if he were available in the third round (which I seriously doubt), I might use a pick on him.

I did not have a specific time in mind, just sometime early this evening. I would do it now, but since I already committed to Tuesday evening, I will do it then.

Thinks about it .... I will do it sometime sometime between 6:30 and 7:00 p.m. CST.

If you want to know who's team is who, you have to quick on the team name and it says the owner.

Don't bother taking Eli at number 1, he and his father have publicly stated that he wants to play for Kori.

No. Perfect is picking after you in the first round.

After further review, I'd like to thank the powers that be that blessed me with the last pick.

There are no bad positions in this year's draft - only bad picks.

I'll bet I know which 2 RBs you are salivating all over.

I'd only trade out of the #2 spot IF I traded w/#s 10, 11 or 12 & ONLY trade for the 1st 2 rounds. From round 3 & on we'd retain our original spot(s). If anyone is interested let me know. I will be hm from work @ apprx 715p.

I've got some questions on the draft application myself. I will try to get them addressed tomorrow.

FSP Fantasy Football Draft

The new draft time is Wednesday, August 18th at 10:00 central for the $50 buy-in league.


If this does not work for you, reply as soon as possible, so that we can work in another time slot before people commit to this one.

Kori, can you please pin this thread and let the other FSP FF thread float away.

Thanks.

August the 18th!

OK, glad I'm not in public right now.

Sorry Mr. Dio, I thought everyone knew the draft was next Wednesday.

BTW, and this is just not for you, but for all league members: I am nearly as new to XPertLeagues as y'all, and I've no experience being a league commissioner (unless bitching at Scott last year counts). That said, I am still sold on this outfit as the best FFL host site, but there will be some growing pains - although miscommunication on the draft time is a VERY bad thing. My bad.

GoN, mrdio and I have traded picks. I'm sending him 12 and 13 and he's giving me 2 and 23.

Hopefully this doesn't backfire on me. :cry

Can you make the change in the xpertleagues draft order?

Thanks.

mrdio
08-13-2004, 07:43 AM
Guru, this is correct. We are swapping picks in the 1st & 2nd rounds only.

Guru of Nothing
08-13-2004, 10:46 AM
Trade noted.

When time permits, I will play around on the XPert site and get a feel for how the draft application works. In the meantime, I am told that the (free) survivor leagues offer an accurate representation of how the draft application functions, so it is to everyone's benefit to get out there and participate in a few survivor leagues.

Kris, regarding your "expired" status on your first pick, It will stay that way and you will be able to make your pick when the draft goes active again on Wednesday evening. The computer will not make pick for anyone in the first round. This assures that everyone is present for the draft.
