Please post what times and days of the week work for you to draft. I'll try to find a date that works best for everyone.
Thanks

The initial Nhl draft would be live, on yahoo. This will be the only time when everyone will need to be available for about and hour and a half for a draft ever in the league. After there we won't have Nhl drafts since we're a dynasty, and the prospective draft will be time slots here on proboards.
So good question. Please post when you're available for a LIVE draft.

It could run a couple hours. If I can't make the live draft how early can I get access to the draft room to create a queue?

Will we be having a separate draft for our farm teams or do you plan on having them all at once? For example, let's say I want to draft Drouin to my farm with my 6th round pick can I do that or would I have to draft him to one of my regular roster spots?

I set the draft to this Thursday at 8pm for now on yahoo. We can definitely still move it, there's still more people I want to hear from in terms of their schedule. Moved it up on yahoo though so that people looking to join randomly from the yahoo universe are more likely to find the league. before it was set to next wednesday and the custom leagues are listed by draft date, so we were way near the bottom of the list. hopefully this helps us get a couple more people.

Are you confident that any random people who join will pay? Also, regarding payment, do we just send you an EMT for the $50?

when I look on yahoo under "scoring and settings", it doesn't say this is a keeper league. Does it say that somewhere or need to say it somewhere?

Also, regarding payment, do we just send you an EMT for the $50? good thought. i think so. so far the one random manager has already asked about payment and should be paying in soon. yahoo allows me to put in a 65 word description for the league, and in there it says $50 and competitive, so that should stream out people that don't want to pay to play. worth a shot too. if they don't want to pay, i can just kick them out prior the draft so it doesn't affect the league.

Good question. it does not. after the draft i think i can change it, which i will try to. i think it'll matter next year though when i roll the league over and need to check that keepers are allowed. so far now it doesn't matter, but next year it will.

people who sign up should prolly need to know its a keeper league tho. affects the way they draft, their commitment long term etc. don't you think?

Right, it also says new dynasty league in there. i also told the guy we do prospects on here as well. anyone random i'm going to initiate so that they know what's going on.

So is the draft set for this Sunday or are we moving it out to next week? Also, will we be allowed to trade picks leading up to the draft or does that get too complicated?

It's set for sunday right now at 745 pm. might be moving to either 7 pm or monday at like 8 pm. but would prefer to leave it at 745. will give you all a final time asap but expect it to be either sunday or monday. in terms of picks, idk what you'd trade for since everyone only has picks. i think let's not allow trading of picks in this inaugural draft, that way we can keep it fair for everyone.

What is the drafting order for this inaugural draft and how was it determined? I'm assuming that this inaugural draft will be done in the snake (up and down) fashion, please confirm.

Post by Little Bacon (Commissioner) on Sept 26, 2014 7:23:18 GMT -5
yes snake and we'll use the random order yahoo gives us for both drafts.

Could we not select a randomize drafting order ahead of time so that we can plan ahead accordingly.

Before you do that, there's another person who is interested in joining the league (says he PM'd you on Dobber). Not sure whether you saw it or not, just want to make sure so that we have everyone on board before setting draft order.
