friday night?  lol people have lives and aren't sitting around gonna wait around for some draft for a fan website.

my sked is i work 6p-430a Sat, Sun, Mon, Tues, so if the draft is during those nights I can probably get away with doing it at work if we're not crazy busy.

Post by: dolphins4life on August 13, 2012, 05:11:32 pm
It seems Sunday night is the consensus so far

How about the 26th?

Post by: dolphins4life on August 13, 2012, 06:01:42 pm

Post by: MikeO on August 13, 2012, 06:54:49 pm

I hate to be "that guy" but I actually have another fantasy football draft in person on that date (cash league)  I can try to bring my comp along and do 2 at once since I would hate to have EVERYONE reschedule on a count of me.


Title: Re: 2012 TDMMC Fantasy Live Draft
Post by: mecadonzilla on August 14, 2012, 11:54:22 am
I'm good with just about any time on that Sunday.  Tell me when, and I'll be there.

Title: Re: 2012 TDMMC Fantasy Live Draft
Post by: Pats2006 on August 26, 2012, 08:27:01 am

Post by: tubba marxxx on August 26, 2012, 03:48:08 pm
I mentioned earlier that I'll be participating in another live draft while this one is going on.  I'll bring my laptop along and it shouldn't be a problem. Whatever time is decided, please let me know in EST..I'll probably be a few drinks in and math won't be my strong point lol


Title: Re: 2012 TDMMC Fantasy Live Draft
Post by: dolphins4life on August 26, 2012, 05:57:16 pm
Sorry guys,

I got confused because my new laptop is operating on pacific time.

I thought I was setting to eight pm EST, when I was setting it to 8 pm PST

The draft will not be tonight. 

Maybe next Sunday guys?

What works for you?

Let me know what you people think.

I am happy to accomodate whatever works for everybody.

Please sound off now.     


Title: Re: 2012 TDMMC Fantasy Live Draft
Post by: dolphins4life on August 26, 2012, 06:06:47 pm
I tentatively rescheduled it for next sunday at nine, (this time I made sure it was EST). 

Does that work for everybody?

Please let me know.

It can be changed.

Holiday weekend next weekend, bad time for me. Ain't gonna work probably. If someone wants my spot I will back out of the league. If not the computer will pick it and whatever. I just wont be "as into the league" as I would have been otherwise.

Weekdays would be ok with me. Fins play a preseason game on Wed at 8:30. I will be online watching the game anyway, can't we do the draft then maybe? Just throwing it out there

Houston, we have a problem.


I'm at work and I can't connect to draft.  I'll get as far as a lobby, and then the actual draft will never load.  I'm confused


EDIT:  I've tried every "troubleshooting" step Yahoo provides, still cannot connect.  I've done a few mock drafts at home without a problem.  Here, I can't connect.  I have the most current versions of everything (flash, chrome, explorer, etc.)  ESPN's flash version works for me.  No idea what the problem is.

try fire fox or google chrome

Good draft gentlemen! Best of luck to all!


Title: Re: 2012 TDMMC Fantasy Live Draft
Post by: mecadonzilla on August 28, 2012, 11:38:50 pm
I would like to counter that opinion, and say that I hope each of you has horrible luck and you all had a terrible draft.  I know I did.


Title: Re: 2012 TDMMC Fantasy Live Draft

My drafts never seem to work out for me.

Post by: MikeO on August 29, 2012, 07:33:06 pm
I ought to just re-name my team the GB Packers. The Rodgers-Jennings-Nelson connection is either gonna be a home run or a total bust for me most weeks! lol

I know one girl who won her office FF last year, by drafting on autopick and then selecting her players by which ever one had the highest number next to % of leagues in which this player has been selected to play.  Never made a trade.  She only made on drop, that player was on IR and selected the player that was currently the player with the highest % of being in other people's leagues.  She literally had the team on autopiolet all season long. 

Royally pissed of the rest of the league and she wasn't invited back this year.

Doesn't surprise me at all.  A lot of us, myself included, tend to over think Fantasy sports.  Lots of times the answer is right there in front of you but you overlook trying to find the "sleeper" pick or the "outside the box" payoff
