Ill be working til 9 but so either way ill be auto drafting for some part of it but at least if its an 8 oclock start i might get a chance to draft my TE in the last round!

Will we have a draft order the day before at least?

No the boards rules say it has to be random unfortunately

How much time per pick were you thinking?

90 seconds I was thinking

We use the NFL.com random draft order which is 1 hour before draft when its set. And the drafts picks are 90 seconds by default:

These are default settings:

So no Flex... just a third WR slot? Is every league doing that?

Yes. For rule changes votes are done and the 3rd WR won out by a couple of votes before last season.

OK cool, good to know! WR pool is quite deep in fairness I guess. I'm just praying we have 16 active league members

AdamConnor7

Romo broke a bone in his back out for 6-8 weeks apparently. Quietly lowers the draft stock of Dez

gerryfed

Are we any closer to locking in a draft day/time? I've got a fair few to do so be handy locking this in

the 5th of September works for me, I'm ok with what ever time suits everyone else

Knex*

5th of September likely suits me as well!

AdamConnor7

Yes its the 5th of September for sure. I'm going to set up a poll with times on Doodle.com and post the link here and whichever time has the most votes that's what we will stick with.

sullyos09

Ya 5th will be okay with me too.

Looks like I am travelling with work, so I will have to put an auto draft on. Do you know if there is a way I can customise it, so that I can prioritise certain players and specify that others aren't drafted?

Click onto my team and you will get two options. Click on "Edit pre-draft rankings" and there you go

D9Male

That is very helpful, thanks. Bloody work getting in the way of my leisure time.

AdamConnor7

Hi guys. I just realised that Ireland are playing Serbia in a World Cup qualifier on Monday and was wondering if there would be much problems moving it to the Tuesday instead? I'll put a poll with the two days first and we can decide the day on that.

AdamConnor7

Sorry guys further update. Boards says I can't post a link because I'm a new user. If everyone could just comment on which day would prefer then that can be their vote

D9Male

Tuesday works better for me. Thanks.

phatkev

I can do Tuesday, but I wont be available until around 9. Id prefer Monday

gerryfed

Monday for me. Have other drafts on Sunday and Tuesday

Foxtrol

My vote is Monday

Cant do Tuesday as I'm based in the US and it'll be during our working hours.

MrKingsley

Id prefer Tuesday

Beefy78

Tuesday is much better for me

NapoleonInRags

Monday or Tuesday fine for me.

Jofspring

Monday would suit me better but if it was Tuesday it would have to be after 9 as I have football training.

Edit: in saying that if other times suit more people I will try set up an auto draft list and hope I get who I want.

AdamConnor7

Hi everyone. At the moment there has been 8 votes with 4 for Monday, 3 for Tuesday and 1 either. I'll leave it until this time tomorrow in case of any more votes before we set the day.

sullyos09

Monday for me

AdamConnor7

Thanks to those who voted, the draft is Monday the 5th. At say 7:30?

Jofspring

Whatever suits most I suppose. If it could be pushed till 8 that would be great. If not ill set up a draft list for 7:30. Thanks.

AdamConnor7

I'll comment the time times and whichever gets the most thumbs up will be the time

AdamConnor7

7:30pm

AdamConnor7

8pm

Beefy78

As early as possible please

AdamConnor7

I'll leave this until Sunday and everyone will know the time Sunday night

AdamConnor7

8pm is the time for the draft tomorrow. Best of luck everyone!

You too mate, cheers for organising! Is it random order, decided 30 mins before the draft yeah?

Beefy78

What's the time per pick?

Stupid 9pm flight

thomond2006

Thanks for organising Adam, looking forward to it!

Yeah that's the rules for all the leagues on boards unfortunately.

Anyone else having problems logging into the fantasy site? Signed up at nfl.com site for the boards fantasy football. Got a email confirmation from nfl that my team name signup was confirmed. Tried to login today and it doesn't recognize me. Thought maybe I had the wrong password. Went through the forgot password function. Received nothing. Waited an hour then tried again. Now they don't recognize email address. Will try one more time later before I give up.

I've had no problems logging in/out etc.

But I did draft for another 16 team league last night and there was massive issues in the draft itself. After about the 9th round.... It constantly kept knocking people into autodraft for no reason, messing up the draft order, and other weird mistakes.

Might be something the commish should keep an eye on, cause I presume he can pause the draft if stuff starts messing up

Yeah had the exact same problem last night. People ended up drafting two kickers plus bridgewater and others who are out for the season.

The clock on the left and the 'last drafted' on the right were out of sync.

I would advise everyone to have a pretty long queue of players in order to avoid the same thing happening. Really did ruin it for a lot of people

No luck logging in. Looks like I won't be able to make the draft. Just my luck.

That's very odd. Why don't you set up a new account? And then when the commish logs on, hopefully he can delete your old team and add your new one? Will only take him 5 minutes I'm sure...

Send him a PM even!

AdamConnor7

I'm here if you want to create a new account just let me know

AdamConnor7

15 minutes to go everyone get ready and good luck!

Ugh I completely forgot. Just logged in now.
