I too am also good with 830 and the 90 secs. per pick would be great.

[yavozerb]

I can write to Yahoo to see if we can get that result from them.

Mention in the letter that we should be upgraded for free and mention how I missed my son's baseball game for this draft (just kidding, got no kids)..Seriously though mention that we were very inconveniced

[Kori Ellis]

I think, ultimately, the problem with upgrading the existing league is that Yahoo is likely to have autodrafted our teams in that league, which might be difficult to undo.

Yeah, I'm sure it autodrafted.

So is a league now set up and set for Tuesday at 8:30pm or do you need me to do anything?

[yavozerb]

Do the 12 players from this league need to do anything by tuesday evening??

[FromWayDowntown]

Yeah, I'm sure it autodrafted.

I haven't set it up yet, but can certainly do so.

I did e-mail Yahoo to see if there's anything they can do about the problem:

My league was scheduled to draft on Sunday, March 25, 2007 at 5:45 p.m. CDT. While members of the league could access the draft applet, each member eventually received an error message that read "ERROR: Failed to connect to server." Nobody signed up to participate in an auto-draft league, but unless we are allowed to re-draft, we, through no fault of our own, are left with no other choice. In addition, for members who made specific plans to participate in a draft at the time we sought were greatly inconvenienced by the unavailability of the service at the time it was promised to us. Problematically, given the late date of our scheduled draft, we are unable to find acceptable draft times available for non-Premium leagues. We have noticed that numerous draft times remain available for the Premium leagues, but don't think that we should have to pay to upgrade our league just to be able to find a reasonable draft time. What can be done to solve these problems which, again, were not of our making? It will be extraordinarily disappointing to find that Yahoo is unwilling to do anything to ensure that our expectations in creating a league on your service are met.

Do we want to wait to see if Yahoo will solve our problem?

[Horry For 3!]

hahaha, I have no issues with you being commish either. You are no Horryfor3!

[Mr Dio]

Uh oh....

[Das Texan]

ya i can do tuesday i'm sure.

[TxJudsonRocketTx]

I just remembered I cant make it Tuesday after 9 yalls time because the club I work at is having the White Sox in that night

[FromWayDowntown]

UPDATE: I haven't officially created the new league yet, because I wanted to see if Yahoo would respond in any way to our request to be made whole. (by the way, at 7:20 CDT this morning, our league page still says that we're drafting). I looked to me like we could get whatever draft time we wanted if we took the Premium league approach, so I thought it might be best to be patient until a few hours have passed on Monday and then do something.

With that said, whether Yahoo comes through for us or not, there's now no reason that I have to be the one to set up the league and serve as commissioner. If Yahoo doesn't open bunches of new draft times and doesn't give leagues free upgrades, then whoever is commissioner is going to have to be the one to put down the money to pay for the premium league.

[FromWayDowntown]

LATER UPDATE: Yahoo sent me a notification that server problems caused the draft issues we had last night and that they have unilaterally moved our draft back to 5 pm CDT on April 1. I guess the question now is whether that time works for all or whether we'd all be more content to have the previously discussed time on Tuesday night.

If it makes any difference to anyone, I believe there is a Spurs ROAD game during that date/time, starting at 6pm on Apr 1.

There is. It's in Indianapolis, and I'm going to that game, so I'm definately out if we stick to Yahoo's plan.

Maybe I should just go ahead and set up the Premium League and get a draft time for tomorrow evening, as we discussed yesterday.

Anyone?

How many people agreed to Tuesday night when you all were discussing it yesterday?

[Melmart1]

Wait... so Yahoo just assigned a new draft time without asking if it was OK with any of us, and we have no choice other than to accept it or pay up for a new league?

[Kori Ellis]

Here, I set up a FREE league on Yahoo for Tuesday night draft at 8:30pm.

I'm not sure why you guys wanted to purchase a league. But they have the date/time you wanted available, so I registered this free league. If this isn't what you want, I'll delete it.

I couldn't find a Tuesday night draft time last night when I was looking at the possibility of setting up a new league. That's how the whole purchasing thing came about. I'm glad you could find our draft time on Tuesday night. I'll have to re-examine what I was doing in looking at setting up another league.

[FromWayDowntown]

I'm signed up.

They might have opened more draft times since you looked at it.

But it's set up for now.

EVERYONE NEEDS TO GO REGISTER THEIR TEAMS so that I can input the draft order.

Thanks

Whottt, FWD and timvp are registered for the new league so far. I emailed the old league to tell them to check this thread for info.

I just got an e-mail from Yahoo responding to my request last night that they give us our choice of draft times for the league that's already been established. It appears that they're willing to do that for us. Perhaps we don't need the new league after all.

Oh - that would be ideal if they would actually change it to the right time. Do we have to change it, or will they?

[Kori Ellis]

If they correct it properly, I'll delete the second league. So I'll wait to see if they really do accommodate you. That would be nice because then people don't have to re-register.
