Live San Antonio Redraft League

[kris]

I'm thinking about starting another redraft fantasy league, but holding the draft live at a restaurant or possible other venue. It would probably be in the $25 a team ballpark. If there is enough interest to put 12 teams together, I would organize the league and put together the time and place.

For those of you who have never experienced a live fantasy football draft, it's pretty cool and even more exciting than an online draft which is why I'm trying to put it together.

If you are serious about playing and can commit 3-4 hours on a Saturday or Sunday in the near future, please post.

[scott]

I'm interested... what's a "redraft" league?

[kris]

Redraft is where you pick entirely new teams every year as opposed to keeper or dyansty.

[scott]

Oh okay... I've never played a keeper/dynasty league so I was thinking "redraft" was something new... like... you go through a draft and then do it again... :lol

[PeterBurns]

If you do it somewhere Kris.
Think about the Lion and Rose on Blanco.
They have a private room that's a cool place.
I can make a call if needed

[kris]

Thank you Pete. I may take you up on that if I get enough interest. How much are the private rooms?

[scott]

The thing to remember about Lion and Rose is that it sucks ass.

[BruceBowenFan]

hey this redraft sounds cool im in

[Kori Ellis]

The thing to remember about Lion and Rose is that it sucks ass.

The one on Blanco and 410 doesn't.

[BruceBowenFan]

how old do u have to be to do this

[katyon6th]

Old enough to pay, I think.

[Boston George]

im strangely interested in this...

[BruceBowenFan]

i got a job as a busboy at peter piper pizza at military and pleasanton or im just 16

[kris]

Everyone who takes fantasy football seriously and is competitive is more than welcome to play.

[PeterBurns]

Free. I would just need to make a call. Ahead of time.

[kris]

Thank you. I accept your gracious offer. I will ask you about some dates as soon as the league hits 12 teams. Would you like to join as well? Every league needs an expert.

[kris]

So far these are the teams that I have penciled in:

1.Eriks
2.Katy
3.Whitney
4.Kris
5.Boston George
6.Scott
7.Bruce Bowen Fan
8.LJ

As soon as there are 12 I will begin trying to pin down a date.

[Mr Dio]

Old enough to pay, I think.

:lol

[kris]

3 more spots left

1.Eriks
2.Katy
3.Whitney
4.Kris
5.Boston George
6.Scott
7.Bruce Bowen Fan
8.LJ
9.Matthew

[Mr Dio]

If Peter can promise me a UT BCS Champion book on par with the Spurs book we got @ Shooter's last yr I'm in! Has to be hardcover.

[scott]

My only request is that we do the draft at least until after preseason starts and preferably close to its end. I'm not into the July fantasy drafts.

[kris]

Scott, I'm thinking the draft will be in early August. We still need 2-3 more depending on whether or not people back out.

Dio, I'm thinking you are kidding about the conditional entry so I'm counting you as in.

So there are 10 people in so far.

2 more spots.

[Mr Dio]

Yeah, I was kidding but that book last yr was sweet!

Let me know when/where. Just about anywhere is cool with me.
I'm going to be paying for the leagues in Aug.

[kris]

1.Eriks
2.Katy
3.Whitney
4.Kris
5.Boston George
6.Scott
7.Bruce Bowen Fan
8.LJ
9.Matthew
10. Mr. Dio
11. Midgetdonkey
12. Joe

League is filled. There is a pretty good chance someone will not be able to make the date we end up setting. If you are interested as an alternate, please post.

[kris]

I have tenatively scheduled the draft for Sunday, August 6th at 6:30 p.m.

This of course is assuming Pete can reserve this time for us and a large majority of owners can attend the meeting. However, I do need to make sure this time will work before I submit it to Pete.

Please give me feedback on whether or not this time is good for you. If it is not, please give me times that are. If you are wishy washy about the league and unsure whether or not you will actually show up - do not play. I need every single one of the owners to be able to attend.

Also, Katy I noticed the schedule is not out yet. Do you know when they will complete it?

[Mr Dio]

That date/time is cool.
When do we know the draft order?

[kris]

I am going to have Kori conduct the draft order through some means. We will think of the most random way to assign #'s (probably a website) and then I will have Kori post them.

[katyon6th]

I think it'd be best to have the draft closer to the start of the season in case of injuries and the like.

[kris]

Ideally, yes, but I'd have the draft today if everyone could make it.

[scott]

I propose moving the draft back a couple of weeks as well, mostly for the reason's Katy mentioned.

Also, could we wait until the actual draft day to assign the draft order?

[kris]

I'm going to break this down even though I don't have to just so you don't think I'm trying to be a jerk.

I first of all limited myself to Sundays so Joe (Johnny Blaze) could play. That was his request.

Second, I know myself and Whitney (and probably others) go to church so there goes the middle of the day.

Third, Sundays is softball. Our only early game (4:30) in the month of August is the date I set.

Thus, I'm making the draft at 7:30 on Sunday, August the 6th.

If that's too early for you, I understand completely. Just let me know if you don't want to play.


DRAFT IS SUNDAY, AUGUST 6th at 7:30 PM

I'm going to have the draft order conducted by Kori in the near future. I would like to research where I will be selecting.

[scott]

Count me out, but thanks for putting this together!

We still have a full league. However, I do need confirmation from those not starred if you are playing or not as soon as possible in case I need to bring in an alternate.

[kris]

I need a confirmation of attendance from:

Boston George
Bruce Bowen Fan

[kris]

As a reminder: If I do not get a confirmation in the next couple of days, I will replace you.
