GolfHos

woohoo!  It's tonight in 4 hours or so.  I've stocked up on beer  ;D

For those participating, don't forget to test your browser to make sure you can run the Draft app properly:

Oh yeah.  Gotta remember.

I'm most likely gonna need some help.

 [sm_buddies]

I won't be back home until about 6:30 PDT, so I guess I'll be on autopilot for the first several picks.

I'll be happy to pinch-hit for you if you'd like.  [sm_devil]

how long do we have to make picks?
(trying to decide to pre-rank in case something comes up)

I thought it was 90 seconds a pick, but I can't find where I read that.  Looking for it now.

I can't find where they specify this anywhere.  :sad3:

[sm_shock]

not to be an ungrateful *bunghole*  [sm_devil]  but next year can we pick a site that allows you to sort players by team of alphabetically?

90 seconds?  Well as a Queens fan, I'm *fudge*ed.

oh, and is this: officially the scoring golfhos league is using ?

just want to make sure

I'm headed out now to get more beer  8)

woohoo, test successful

ok test was successful.  now what?

Almost forgot about this. Have to get both laptops ready. Drinks will be made in time.

Crap.  now I can't get into the league dealie.  Whats the league id number?   ???

Perf.!   [sm_thumbsup2]  Thanks babe.   8)

Donkey Punchers.   [sm_rolling]

Yes, I just went with the default scoring system to keep things simple.

Cool.  One laptop for you and one for Darla, or both laptops for you?

Should be an interesting night. Darla and I doing the draft and we just got a Wii so we will be on that too. You can bet one or both of us will miss a pick. :)

So this is what 30 minutes away now??

just about.

They said they'd have the draft order available now.

Aw c'mon, freaking Aske got the first pick!  >:(

1 Aske
2. Fuzzy
3. Darla
4. Teed
5. dystopia
6. hobbit
7 walfredo
8 gleek
9 stroh
10 kobesobe
11 spanky
12 twoiron

Thing isnt opening for me for some reason. It tested fine. fudge.

I don't know which is worse.  I'm 9th, or Aske is first.  hate!

lol....

Not working for either of us right now

I don't like your chances at getting brady

crap! Are you getting any errors?

I don't see any way for me to manually pick for you as commish.  :(

Wayne Brady will have to choke a bitch.

It's showing Spanky as logged into the draft.  ???

so umm, if I've just run with the default draft settings, is there anything else I need to do? other than just watch this unfold?

I'm guessing that is the autopick function...

Yeah, I think you just have to sit and watch.  I think autopicking should be fine (unless you pick someone injured  [sm_devil] )

kicks ass to be me
 [sm_devil]

I logged in on the desktop to see if I could see the same problem. It was showing a connection problem. We rebooted both laptops and can now login on both so we are set.

BTW *goshdarn* 11th? Daym.

AD or LT aske what's it gonna be

can't get in

since I've put in exactly 12 seconds of research I want to thank you for giving me the 2nd pick.

Michael Vick!

And its done

 8) 8) 8)

How the hell did I end up with 2 Ks and a TE for my 5th pick? Hate!!!!

Whew, that was cool!  I'm off to pickup some Popeye's!

I'll offer up a prize for the winner of the league who doesn't have the first overall pick in the draft.

the fix is in !
 [sm_devil]

lol

LOL



I'm not talking to you.  *bunghole*.

You can always make yourself eligible by trading the pick to somebody else. Obviously, I'm already ineligible for the prize, so you can keep that in mind. [sm_devil]

so I'm still a chance then?? ;)

Certainly.

lol.
 [sm_devil]

LOL, that's messed up. ;D  Your starting team isn't bad, though.  It's interesting to see how the autodraft did with your team, twoiron's and Kobesobe's.  twoiron's team looks like a hospital ward (mcnabb, larry johnson, shockey)  I don't see any glaring problems on Kobesobe's team except for Alex Smith.

But then again, I'm already second-guessing my draft and submitted a move to grab someone off waivers.  :-[

How do you do that? 

[while we're waiting]

gleek!  Give me Brady you *fudge*.

[/while we're waiting]

Selected some one off waivers also.  How long does that take for approval?

On the list of undrafted players, click on the plus sign under Action for the player you want to add:
http://football.fantasysports.yahoo.com/f1/344403/players

As for how long it takes, my waiver claim says "pending until Aug 23".  I'll see if I can find something definitive.

Ah, I finally found the Help section.  lol

-------
Before the start of the season, all undrafted players are placed on waivers, with those left unclaimed then being treated as free agents. You can find out the length of the waiver period for your league by clicking the "Settings" link on your league home page.

(our settings)
Waiver Time:      2 days
Post Draft Players:    Follow Waiver Rules


If more than one manager claims the same player, the team that's highest on the Waiver Priority List is given the rights to the player.

The priority list is initially set based on the reverse of the draft order. However, each time a team is awarded a player via waivers, that team is pushed to the back of the list.

So it looks like the post-draft waiver period is over.  Now all undrafted players are free agents, so they can be obtained immediately instead of having to go through the waiver process.
