Can everyone send me their email address and fill out the doodle poll?

I've sent out invites to everyone who has sent me their email addresses.

How do i change my team name?

nevermind

adrian522

One player hasn't been on since he 11th August and hasn't sent me an email address so I will throw this open for anyone else that wants to join.

adrian522

OK, I hope to have everyone joined today.

Still 2 people left to fill out the poll so I'll leave it until the end of the day before deciding on the draft date.

Currently it is looking like Saturday night. (7 Votes)
There are a few dates with 6 votes so that might change.

I'm going to rule out tonight as a possibility as it would be too much short notice for people.

adrian522

Everyone is now signed up and joined with the poll filled out.

Thanks for this.

We have 2 time slots with 8 votes and 2 with 7.

The 2 with 8 are tonight 9pm and Saturday at 9pm.

Tonight is obviously out so I am going to go with Satuday at 9pm.

If anyone cannot make it (3 of you voted against it) can you let me know. it would be best if you could nominate someone to do the auction for you as otherwise you are likely to end up with a team you are not happy with.

The auction is likely to last until 11pm at least so get your beers in.

If anyone's availability has changed and now cant make it, please let me know as soon as possible.

Best of luck everyone!

Is there a way of setting a draft board?

adrian522

Not really, you can click my team + Edit Auction Draft List and this will let you amend the auction values for each player.

I'm not sure if that will help if you go on auto, though maybe it will...

Pudsy33

It's ok, I've got someone to give me a hand

Looking forward to the draft now tonight

What's the draft order for this auction draft? Need to get my spreadsheets setup!

adrian522

Well the order isn't that important as on your pick you nominate your player and everyone will bid on him, highest bid wins.

The order will not be known until shortly before the draft begins.

Anyone know how to access the lite draft tool on espn as can't get flash 9.0 on my ipad

adrian522

Laptop? or else download the espn FF app

adrian522

Well that was a lot of fun, was hoping to get Josh Gordon at the end there for $1 but not to be.

Best of luck everyone, don't forget the waiver system during the season is a bidding system as well. You have $100 for the season, but you can place $0 bids if you like.

Pretty happy that I got Charles at $54 given what some of the RB's went for.
Stupidly bid for Cooks when I was running short and missed out on a couple of value players near the end.

Well my whole draft fell apart when I accidentally clicked "maximum bid" when putting in an offer on Ellington & that was that as far as any more bidding was concerned.

So the team is not as strong as I had hoped. Going to have to make a few changes before the first game.

Mistakes were made but generally happy enough with how it went. Happy with some of the value I got towards the end.

It was my first time drafting auction style amd k found it quite difficult to pick up the guys I wanted early on as values seemed a lot inflated compared to the "cheat sheets" I was working off.

Any pm's with advice on how I got on would be appreciated.

Also, prater is suspended for 1st 4 games...just came out! Typical

adrian522

Yeah saw that, welker suffered a concussion last night too. The beauty of early drafts.
