Communication with Commish should be made in one of these ways:

Draft Date:What do you think about holding the draft around middle of August? Too late? I like this timing for three reasons:
1. I think the first week of August is too early because of injuries during TCs
2. No matter what date we choose, some won't be able to make it. Even if mid-August is bad for you, at least you would have better than two weeks to provide a list.
3. I'm on vacation (at home) during the third week of August, so that's the best time for me to babysit the draft. The whole league will benefit from having an idle loser like me moving the draft along, trust me. [More on draft pacing below.]
Draft Order:The draft is serpentine: first pick in first round has last pick in second round, etc. No trading picks.
Here is the draft order*:
Round 1
1.) Wingspan (Eyeball Kids)
2.) chuck_chillout (Deepballas)
3.) phillymic2000 (DMAC2T.O.)
4.) CheesesteakDude (CSD)
5.) hbionic (AntiMustacheBitchers)
6.) Reidme (Muffed Punts)
7.) Satoshi (Cannibals)
8.) Sgt. PSN (Stiffler's Pale Ale)
9.) Diomedes (Brooklyn Huns)
10.) Sapp Hater (Beatin Your Azz)
Round 2
1.) Sapp Hater (Beatin Your Azz)
2.) Diomedes (Brooklyn Huns)
3.) Sgt. PSN (Stiffler's Pale Ale)
4.) Satoshi (Cannibals)
5.) Reidme (Muffed Punts)
6.) hbionic (AntiMustacheBitchers)
7.) CheesesteakDude (CSD)
8.) phillymic2000 (DMAC2T.O.)
9.) chuck_chillout (Deepballas)
10.) Wingspan (Eyeball Kids)
Round 3
1.) Wingspan (Eyeball Kids)
2.) chuck_chillout (Deepballas)
3.) phillymic2000 (DMAC2T.O.)
4.) CheesesteakDude (CSD)
5.) hbionic (AntiMustacheBitchers)
6.) Reidme (Muffed Punts)
7.) Satoshi (Cannibals)
8.) Sgt. PSN (Stiffler's Pale Ale)
9.) Diomedes (Brooklyn Huns)
10.) Sapp Hater (Beatin Your Azz)
etc.
*The method by which I generated this draft order:
- Taking the list of teams from the original thread (http://www.concretefield.com/board/index.php?board=2;action=display;threadid=11280;start=0), which was locked long ago, I assigned each team a number, moving first to last, one to ten. For those of you who are too farging lazy to look at the thread, here is the original order:
QuoteDiomedes (Brooklyn Huns)
Satoshi (Cannibals)
chuck_chillout (Deepballas)
Wingspan (Eyeball Kids)
Sapp Hater (Beatin Your Azz)
Sgt. PSN (Stiffler's Pale Ale)
CheesesteakDude (CSD)
hbionic (AntiMustacheBitchers)
Reidme (Muffed Punts)
phillymic2000 (DMAC2T.O.)
- Using a random number generator program, downloaded from this site (http://www.acsu.buffalo.edu/~raulin/random.html), I asked for ten numbers between 1 and 10,000. To the first team, I attached the first random result. To the second team, I attached the second random result...etc
The actual numbers "rolled" by each team were:
1001 - Diomedes (Brooklyn Huns)
1974 - Satoshi (Cannibals)
9752 - chuck_chillout (Deepballas)
9774 - Wingspan (Eyeball Kids)
945 - Sapp Hater (Beatin Your Azz)
1475 - Sgt. PSN (Stiffler's Pale Ale)
6812 - CheesesteakDude (CSD)
6121 - hbionic (AntiMustacheBitchers)
4255 - Reidme (Muffed Punts)
7669 - phillymic2000 (DMAC2T.O.).
and here is a paste of the .txt output from the program:
QuoteList of Random Numbers (No Restrictions)
Number of random numbers = 10
Smallest number = 1
Largest number = 10000
List of Random Numbers
1001 1974 9752 9774 945 1475 6812 6121 4255 7669
- The team with the highest score was awarded the first overall pick, the team with the second highest score, the second pick, etc.
Draft Rules:
Time limits: I support some kind of time limit. I will make a decision soon, so that people have enough time to make good back-up lists. For now though, I'm open to suggestions
Whatever the time limits will be (if we choose to use them), the "Open for Business" draft hours will start each day at 9 a.m. Eastern and stop each day at 11 p.m. Eastern, for however long it takes to complete the draft. If you're on the clock when 11p.m. rolls around, then whatever time is left to you is the time you have after 9 the next morning to get your pick in.
Lists: Please provide me a master list. If I don't have a list, and time expires on your turn, I will choose for you. You have been notified.
a. Master
Please provide a Master list. This list is the default to which I will revert if you fail to make a timely pick. It should be organized by round by position. Tell me what position you will take in each round, and provide a list of players for that position ranked from most to least desirable. I'll give you the highest rated available player at the position specified for that round if you aren't available to make the pick.
You may send a master list organized in some other way if you need to, but don't give me a file that requires an Engineering degree to follow the logic, okay??
Please email your lists. The :CF private message application isn't made for that kind of thing.
b. short list/amendments to master
This will be the kind of list that you make and send me mid-draft because you'll be out of touch for awhile, etc.
I'm sure there's plenty I left out, but let's get this riot started anyway!
In the past, if you see that your pick is say 3 picks away, and the draft is stalled, you can IM 4 players to the commish, assuring that one will be there. That should at least satisfy everyone until you can get back.
Except Sapp and Wing, who will have back to backs quite often, so remember to pick two players when necessary ...
That is all ........
woo-hoo! 1st pick!
I still don't know why I didn't get the first pick! >:(

That really dont matter. If you are smart, you can still win. If you don't, you are a moron.
Anyways, great work, Dio. I appreciate that.

Everything looks good to me Dio. Mid-August draft sounds good too.....just incase a stud running back chooses to retire or something. :paranoid
hbionic, voce vai ser detido.
I'm ready.
Lets start ......

Actually my team plays in the NFC. I wouldn't want to dominate a league full of fargtards like Sarge.
Damnit. The NFC will go more competitive....
At least the NFC already started the draft... ;D

Dio, do we need to provide a list to you? I know i'll be checking this frequently once the draft starts.
I would prefer to have a master list in case you are unavailable to make your pick in a timely fashion, but a list is not required.
Speaking of timeliness, does anyone one have an opinion about time limits? Not much has been said so far...does that mean that y'all think a formal time limit for picks is not needed?
I think we had 24 hour time limit last year. I'm not sure though. Personally 12 hours are ehough for me, because we just have 8 people in our league.

I like to waste as much time as I can...purposely pissing people off....its a tactic I've developed over the years. :sly
Yes...time limit is cool. It can be a bitch waiting around for people. :paranoid
Who the farg are YOU to put a limit on time? >:(
Time is a precious commodity.
Yes.

Sounds good to me, and the dates of the draft are cool too. Thanks Dio for the effort you are putting towards this.
I myself am a little skeptical about using a list. If I hadn't IM'd MURP my lists, I have a feeling he would have never won a game. :P

I have not set the date yet. I'm thinking next Sunday, start at noon. I've just moved into a new place, so my routine has been a bit interrupted. Sorry y'all.
So it's clear:
CFFFL AFC draft begins Noon Sunday August 15th. I'll post the thead in this forum.
August 15th.... the end of World War II.....
I was just spying on the lesser CFFFL and noticed that they drafted defensive players....are we doing that as well or is it just something that they're doing over there because they suck and want to be cool like us?
Also, what are the roster limits going to be?
both leagues are run the exact same way, so yes there will be defensive players drafted in your league. Note the bold below. BN= Bench player.

uh....looks like MURP got there first. sorry.
sorry, Dio ;). I had enough problems with people understanding in the NFC, I just wanted to make sure the AFC was set straight too.
ok...so sinse i have the #1 pick...and i know for a fact i wont be able to on my computer at noon this coming sunday...
what the heck do i do? send some kind of magic list? can i make my first pick early?
help help help
Wingspan:
We will not start the draft early. Send your pick to me via :CF Private Message, or by email to judasdiomedes@yahoo.com
When I start the draft thread, I'll list your pick.
QuoteRoster Positions: QB, WR, WR, RB, RB, TE, K, D, D, D, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN, BN
So am i to understand that the individual defensive players are basically taking the place of picking a team defense/special teams?
yeah
Got it. Thanks. :)
Okay, the date is now clear. How about time limits? hafta make that sure.
Noon eastern time correct?
Draft Date:
Sunday, August 15th Noon eastern.
I will start the draft thread in this forum.
I mean to move this draft along at a brisk clip. 17 Rounds will take a long time if people are dicking around and haven't sent a list. So no dicking around, and send me a list if you think you might not be available to make your selection quickly.
Draft Hours:
"Open for Business" draft hours will start each day at 9 a.m. Eastern (except for this Sunday, when we start at Noon) and stop each day at 11 p.m. Eastern. If you're on the clock when 11p.m. rolls around, then whatever time is left to you is the time you have after 9 the next morning to get your pick in.
Time limits:
You will have 8 hours to make your pick. If you fail to make the pick, forcing me to take a player for you, you will be penalized by a two hour reduction to your time limit, meaning that the next time you're up, you'll have only six hours to make your pick. Fail to make that pick in time, you get another two hours docked. Keep farging around, and you'll have no time to make your picks and you'll get whatever team I give you.
Everything is clear. No more question, sir.

Note to self: Make a list. :paranoid
Damn. Glad i'm in the NFC. Dio is Hitler-like. ;)
okay...i can do that...if there's an 8 hour time limit. no prob, wont need a list from me. i'll IM you my first pick before noon on sunday though

As long as you get your pick to me, or the draft thread, before 8 p.m. Sunday, we'll be fine. Fail to do that however, and you're getting Quincy Carter with the first pick. ;)
Just checking in to say I fully understand the draft rules. :)
Just sent my selection to Dio, and understand the time frames, other then the first pick I should be available....
I'm ready...let's roll!!
Lets gooooooo. Hey everyone. ;D
Dio, looks like you, me, and Gene are the only ones on the board. So much for a flying start .... and these should be the easy ones, lol.
Yeah, I've noticed. :-\
Umm, I've been here for an hour. :-\
I know I'm easy to forget. :(
I don't have a list for Wingspan, so we wait.

How can you not forward the FIRST pick in the draft if you are not gonna be around? Its not like someones gonna take him .... Give him Ricky Williams and lets go ....
Why even forward it? Just announce it. :-D

So I don't know why we are waiting. The guy said he WILL NOT be near a computer today, so either the commish has his pick, or is gonna make his pick, or we can all log off and try again tommorrow. Whats it gonna be Dio?

According to the rules, if I don't have a list, then you've got eight hours to get me your pick before I make one for you. I don't have Wingspan's list, so he's on the clock.
So we wait.
Whatever, if we are gonna be laid back about starting this thing, theres no reason for me to hang around the computer all afternoon. I'll check back sometime later tonight. Peace.

Cool. Send a list if you know who you want...six names in order of preference and I'll post your pick for you. Or just wait 'till you're up.
Let's hope Wingspan get's his pick in, cuz he's going to complain if I'm forced to give him Quincy Carter. :poison
wingspan sucks!!! How hard is it to make the first pick, I mean were talkin about the first pick, the first pick, not the season the first pick ;)
5 min. left before I pick for Wingnut. Longest eight hours in a long time.
I didn't think I'd have to do this at all, much less with the first pick. :-[
Pathetic.
Wow. kinda hard to farg up the first pick. ???
Who you going to draft for him? Holmes? LT? Quincy Carter? :-X
Wingspan got Vick in a random roll based on CNNSi.com's list of top 75. Rolled a 17.

I hope he's still alive.... :boom
I wonder if he thinks he sent you the list, or he might just suck ???
RULES ARE RULES. WE HAVE TO OBEY THOSE, BUT I DON'T KNOW IF EVERY PLAYER UNDERSTANDS THE RULES. THIS SYSTEM DOESN'T WORK IF PEOPLE ARE COOPORATIVE. THIS CONF. HAS SOME ROOKIES, SO IT MIGHT TAKE A LONG TIME TO COMPLETE THE WHOLE DRAFT. GO FOR IT, DIO.

i thought i emailed you LaDanien Tomlinson...but oh well...
anyone want that overrated peice of crap Mike Vick?
sorry guys.
i could swear i emailed in a pick...but rules are rules, mike vick in on the trading block.
now sinse it is 12 hours sinse i missed my pick..shouldnt the 2nd pick be made automatically for team #2?
Quote from: Wingspan on August 16, 2004, 08:08:26 AMnow sinse it is 12 hours sinse i missed my pick..shouldnt the 2nd pick be made automatically for team #2?
Draft hours are between 9 a.m. and 11p.m. chuck_chillout went on the clock at 8 p.m. last night, which means he's got five hours today, starting at 9 a.m. If his pick isn't made by 2 p.m.--he has not sent me a list--then his pick will be made automatically.
Since the 2nd pick wasn't made yet.....why not just give Wingspan the guy he wanted? yeah yeah....i'll butt out and i'll go back to the NFC now. ;D
Quote from: joneszilla on August 16, 2004, 08:43:15 AM
Since the 2nd pick wasn't made yet.....why not just give Wingspan the guy he wanted?
That's some interesting logic. By this reasoning we would award
Wingspan the player he would have taken with the first overall pick, despite the fact that he did not provide a list (as requested) and missed an 8 hour time limit during which nine people were made to wait, because the guy with the second overall pick, who also hasn't provided a list, is also making us wait. How does that make sense?
The rules are clear. We'll follow them, thanks.

although sinse 2nd pick wasnt made, i would have been lenient. i still SWEAR i emailed the pick on friday, becase i knew last week there was barely a chance of being near my computer on sunday, and i was right.
but i am cool with what was dealt. no need to go on about it. and i apologize for making anyone sit on their arses for 8 hours doing nothing but reloading this thread :P

You've said that several times. I believe that you think you sent it, but I did not recieve anything via IM or email. I also checked the fantasy site itself, just in case you put a message there by accident or something. Nothing there.
If I had gotten the pick, believe me I would have posted it. No one wants to delay the draft. I literally refreshed every 20-30 mins.

well quincy was cut...so right now he isnt a top 20 player :)
i'll be around for the rest. it was just yesterday i couldnt do it. no worries
wah, wah, wah. Lets get on with it, so I can pick McNabb, TO, and Westy, to sit at the head of my table, as the triple headed monster of doom that will rip you all limb from limb and shtein down your necks. Then I come back with Akers, Eagles D, and Pinky to complete the table before I run it. Question, do I grab Chad or LJ in the late going? My guess is that if I get the first three, I could draft Bartrum as my TE and still smoke your azzes.
Nice pick with Vick. :-* LT is gonna be huge. :P Priest Holmes .... better grab Larry Johnson to back that old farg up. :-X
Seriously, there might be something in it for someone if #5 should slide on down to me. 8)

Pretty tuff talk, Mr smack talking guy dude man. Let's see if you can back it up. :paranoid
I made my two picks...sorry for the delay guys!
notice: looks like the board will be down (http://www.concretefield.com/board/index.php?board=8;action=display;threadid=11668;start=0#lastPost) for a few minutes as of 7 p.m.
Just to clarify...i'm on the clock at 10:30 pm and i sign on at 3am my time...i can still list my picks, correct?

Yeah, you can list them.
If you do post a pick after hours, the clock does NOT start for the next team until 9 the next morning. THAT team could also make a pick before the morning rolls around and the same would hold for the person with the pick after them..they're up, but not on the clock until 9 a.m.
Also: I will not be available during off draft hours to answer questions, update the threads, or make picks as proxy.

LT is the probably the best, but it's his supporting cast that concerns me. I just don't see SD getting in the end zone Like KC. LT will Rack up a ton of yards though.

uh...I posted that before you said anything. But since you're looking for a beating: I'm tired of wasting hours at a clip--remember that I'm the one tied to the computer like Billy to the porch--because jokers like you don't bother to send lists. How farging hard is it to give me five names?

I agree. You don't have 8 hours to pick, that 8 hours is in case you get stuck unexpectedly. I believe wingspan is on the clock, and only has 6 hours now. A list is not hard to do, especially if you update it. You see you are up in 4 picks, and you know you want Donovan, so you send a list with him, and 3 others just in case. Its not like you need to list 100 names at a clip.
We are running thru the weekend, right? This should have been over by now.

yeah...i learned a long time ago that if you have the spots, to handcuff a backup. i like willie green but he's a nutcase and you never know when he'll be stabbed again. ;)
hey, chuck_chillout and phillymic2000: send me lists for next round before your pick comes up, if you can. want to pick up the pace here. :)
Geez...this is draggin...on and on and on and on!
CSD lost his seventh pick. Well, considering he never delayed this draft, something bad might have happened. Hope he is okay.
Anyway, just four picks were made yesterday. It's killing me. Don't bother Dio. Use your list. If you don't know how to make it, ask your parents or children.
CSD gets docked two hours from his time limit for all further picks.
He selected Tatum Bell by random roll of top twenty available players from CNNSI.com's Top 75 list/mock draft. There are no longer 20 available players on the top 75 list, so I'm now using their mock draft as an extension of that list.
hbionic is on the clock.
You up killa. ;D

Hey Dio, I don't know if anyone brought this up before or not, but if you have 2 picks back to back (JTrotter and Wingspan) are you getting 8 hours for each pick or since they go one right after the other, are they being timed as one? Just curious. :)

You're such an ass-weepay! :)
(http://www.bobbyslayton.com/ww2_b.jpg)
I know you are but what am I? :D
I make my picks fast anyway...the only you have to worry about is Wingspan. :-D ::)
Wasn't really saying either of you were taking too long. I was just curious as to whether or not you guys got 16 hours to make your picks when they come up back to back like that. Actually, what I'm really trying to find out is if you fail to pick after 8 hours, will Dio screw you not once, but twice with 2 zesty picks. :D
Honestly speaking, giving 16 hours is a waste of time. Our common sense won't allow it.
Speak for yourself Satoshi. Bionic's a moron and lacks common sense as indicated by every one of his crappy draft picks for his crappy team with his crappy team name. :D
A team with two picks back-to-back has one 8 hour time limit in which to make both picks.
Quote from: JTrotterFan on August 23, 2004, 02:15:23 AM

other than the 1st pick...in which i said beforehand that i couldnt be around and there was some snafu with email (probably my fault) i have made each subsequent pick within 2 hours of my name coming up. :P
Someone with time on their hands should add up each teams "time on the clock" taking out the overnight hours. That would settle the argument over who sucks the most. I have my guess .... :-X
Hey, who's pick is it anyway?
Lets say you are up next, and you make your pick, and you know you want to take a kicker with your next pick, and you want Tony Franklin. Your pick next pick is 8 picks away. You send a list to Dio, taking into account a worst case scenario, that everyone ahead of you takes kickers. That means send a list of 8 kickers, with Franklin on top. Easy? That way when you check back in, two rounds may have gotten done, instead of everyone waiting for your big pick.
Send a list for the next round, not the whole draft. This will help big time.

Yeah well your coin flip ruined my night...i wanted Donnie Edwards!! Anyway...i think i can sleep very well after picking Thornton and Ed (Mini Ray) Reed.
Dio...you're on the clock.
I'll post new threads for rounds 11-17 asap. If we finish this round before I make the threads, please just be patient, take a break from the draft for a couple hours. I'll have the stuff set up no later than early evening if work gets too busy.
If I can do it though, I'll try to set everything up during the day.
The thread for rounds 11-17 is now up. Please finish Round 10 by posting in the original round 1-10 thread. We'll begin using the new thread with the first pick of round 11. I'll update the results on both threads until we begin round 11. After that, only the new thread will be updated with results.
17 farging rounds? :o
You can draft fewer guys if you want. Just go ahead and pass anytime you like. God knows it would speed the thing up for the rest of us if you did. ;D
I believe CSD is about 45 minutes away from having a pick made for him, and losing another 2 hours ........

Technically, you're right. But
CSD sent his list to me, and I simply didn't have time to log and post from work today, so he doesn't get penalized. I warned y'all that I'm back to work from vacation and I may not be able to ride herd on this draft like I did last week. If I can't get to the draft for a while, then I can't get to it.
Trust me, I'm doing everything I can to move this thing along.
Thank you Dio.
Sorry to everyone else. I knew I wasn't going to be around today. I was here earlier but I couldn't wait any longer.
Outside of Reidme ALWAYS taking his sweet time in making his selections....this draft has gone pretty smooth. :yay :=)
It hasn't been too bad. Sometimes it works out fast, sometimes it don't. Reidme doesn't give me props when I make my picks in less than 5 minutes, which is often.

I have been on the clock less than 10 hours total, and most of that was because Dio was unable to be online when my pick came up. Dio has a list for the rest of my draft. I dare some of you guys to add up your total "time on the clock". I know you are kidding, you joker you .......
Quote from: Reidme on August 27, 2004, 12:48:46 AMI have been on the clock less than 10 hours total,
Where the hell does it keep how long you were logged in for the draft? Stop making shtein up Reidme and make yer pick! :P
Are we still doing this crappy draft?
So this time it's my fault. As punishment, I took David Carr on a random roll of top twenty remaining players according to the mock draft list at CNNSi.com.
I'm happy with it. >:D
Anyway, sorry y'all. I got caught out with no way to get here. >:(
okay....to speed this up. i hearby sign over power of attourney to anyone in the AFC.
which means, if someone sees that it is my turn. you may make my last 4 picks, under these terms.
1) Defensive Player
2) Starter
3) If you select a player for me that is currently listed as a backup, as decided by the team's depth charts official website(on the date of the pic). when we match up, i may select ANY guy on your team to SIT on your bench.
have a nice day. and i will make my pics if i see that it is my turn...but i just dont have the time to keep looking. and this is gone on long enough. ;)
That's nice, but it ain't gonna happen.
If you want to wash your hands of this draft, send me a list. I'll make your picks, and that's that.

at this point, i dont have time for a list. any random defensive starter is my priority list
In that case, I will draft the best available defensive starter for each of your remaining picks. Since I'm running out of sources to use for random rolls, the criteria for "best available" will be my own judgement. Don't worry, you won't be getting Jason Sehorn. ;)

Oh...by the way...see what happens when you slouch Hbionic...you get players on IR! Hahahahahahahaha :-D :-D :-D
I will load the teams into our Yahoo league this weekend.
You will do it NOW Mister!!!!!
Or, if now doesn't work for you then this weekend is fine too.
Okay Tackleberry! :-D
Oops, I forgot to post a picture of him. Good call though. :D
