Yeah that's way easier than just using the Java applet in Yahoo's draft

Arpikarhu · 02-27-2002, 05:01 AM

Same here

Galt · 02-27-2002, 05:11 AM

Well yeah, I got in too, but who's going to keep track of the time for each pick, what players have already been picked, sort by position available, etc. (I know that each individual person will need to do it themselves, but that will add a ton of time and a ton of confusion for each pick)

Doing it this way will add like an hour+ to the draft, which is already usually over an hour long.

I know you're queasy about the yahoo chat, but I've done probably 15-20 of them in the last few years for various sports, and have never had a problem.

Wouldn't it have made sense to at least start with the Yahoo draft, and use this other stuff as a backup plan to get your picks in if Yahoo screwed up?

I changed it to Yahoo style live draft and was able to nail down our exact draft date and time. So if we don't like this way we have the Yahoo option available to us.

If everyone happy with Yahoo, I will use that to do the draft instead of this IRC way.

how lazy can you be? write down others picks on a piece of paper or cross them off a list. not so hard. i do a live draft every year na dnever have problem keeping track. its called being prepared.

I can, in fact, be quite lazy. Many people have colored themselves mighty disappointed when underestimating my laziness.

Yahoo is more easier for everyone, thus more faster.

DGW · 02-27-2002, 03:40 PM

I agree with Galt. I've never had problems during a yahoo draft. Doing it on Yahoo will save atleast 2 hours.

NaughtyAngel · 03-01-2002, 03:45 PM

If my vote counts I'd rather have the yahoo draft, it's fast and easy. Plus if it's on a day I am at work, I won't have that much time.

Will we be getting e-mail reminders before the draft date, just incase some of us don't read this post.

Will this be like an afternoon or evening draft?

I'm guessing an evening draft like 8pm or so would be easier for most of us.
