I'm with Omaha Chief.....would like it to be a bit earlier if possible. 8pm seems awfully late to start.
8pm CST + 3 hour (at least probably) draft = 11pm + getting up at 4am = not enough sleep for an old man. If it's set I'll deal with it, but will probably go on auto for the last 1/2 of the draft. |

I'll deal with it if I have to, but I try not to do drafts Labor Day Weekend. It's my experience that too many people go out of town. There's a good chance I'm going to be at the lake with suspect internet service.

I thought the same, but I know I'm probably not going anywhere that w/e.

The thing is, it doesn't sound like there will be an option that works for everyone. We just need to come to a basic consensus on this and nail it down. I would personally prefer to do it on a weeknight in the evening, but it doesn't sound like Buck or Flopnuts could make that.

Evening I'm good with, but we're looking at late night to an early morning ending.
90 seconds per pick x 22 rounds x 12 teams = a possibility of 6.6 hours. I know that in the first couple of rounds it shouldn't be a big issue, but history tells me that nearer the end of the draft most teams will use most of the clock. A five hour draft is not out of the question. That would have an end time of 1am Central with the current settings. |

I haven't set any of the roster settings in stone though. I would like to do the IDP thing since I've never done one and would like to try it, but if people want to cut down on the time of this thing, we could cut down on that some.
Do me a favor, and post what dates/times WON'T work for you, and I'll do my best to find a time that works for most people. |

I can't do Sunday August 30th, unless it's a late starting draft (8:00 CDT at the earliest)

IF it would help I'll do it on the 29th (though I already have one draft and one auction going on that day, I can do two at once).
Any other date is OK, but I would prefer to start no later than 6pm regardless of the date. As noted above, we're likely looking at 5+ hours. |

of course the 29th is also the KC vs Seattle game, so that might be a turn-off to that time/date for some.

I started these fantasy leagues' last year & haven't participated in a draft yet & have ended up with decent teams.
Try as you might you're not gonna make everyone happy. Set a time & those of us who can't make it, make sure to rank your playa's. |
