No. The current listed draft time is because it won't let me setup the league without one.

We need to hurry and pick one as Yahoo! now limits how many leagues can draft at one time for some reason, so we need to find an open time for Yahoo. Or we can setup a draft in here or somewhere and then I can build the teams in Yahoo.

Max Powers · Aug 20, 2011

as long as it's after 8pm or so ET it should be good. i'd set one up now at that time on some weekday before they get taken. i remember last year it ended up at like noon on a weekday, nobody drafted. I lost all interest last year along with many because we didn't even pick our teams.

JFM92_GTRacer · Aug 21, 2011

Yeah, that was a nightmare. I still participated throughout the year though. A lot of people were inactive.

Speedy Samurai · Aug 22, 2011

The two-time defending champion Stiff Arms are back!

FoolKiller · Aug 22, 2011

I updated draft to Friday, September 2nd at 10PM ET, 7PM PT. That is the Friday before Labor Day weekend.

We need more players. Where did everyone go? Half the people that were asking me about when it was getting setup haven't signed up.

UnoMOTO · Aug 24, 2011

That actually is a rare time that I should be able to make it! Sweet

FK - I'm getting an error message:

There was a problem

There is not room in this league if all teams from last year return. To join, get the commissioner to increase the maximum number of teams, or remove teams that will not be returning. (Error #638)

mike46and2 · Aug 24, 2011

Is it to late to join? Could me and villian be 9 and 10? its not letting us in. I wonder if its set to a 8 team league?

FK - I'm getting an error message:

And can we change it to saturday? If that's fine with you guys? But friday should be fine, i just don't know if I'll be doin anything that day.

Villain · Aug 24, 2011

Nah, I joined GTP when GT5 dropped so I wasn't around for this league last time.

FoolKiller · Aug 24, 2011

It is holding all the old spots for returning members, which is new to Yahoo as far as I know.

I added four new open spots for new members.

And I am unsure if I will be free at all Labor Day weekend. I am going out of town but do not know if I will have Internet access. I need to test the draft system on my phone.

Spacegoat · Aug 24, 2011

The Spacegoats are in.

Thanks for opening up a few more spots.👍

Edit: Quick question, what happens if I miss the draft?.

Max Powers · Aug 25, 2011

It'll autodraft a team for you based on the player rankings.

You can edit these rankings before the draft, if you're not happy with yahoo's default rankings.

Joey D · Aug 25, 2011

Let me know how it goes on your phone, although I think I might be in Canada that weekend, so I'd have to track down wi-fi so my data charges aren't astronomical.

Spacegoat · Aug 25, 2011

@ Max Powers. Awesome, because I just realised, that I won't be anywhere near a computer the day of the draft.

Thanks for reply.

Requires Flash.

There is a Yahoo Fantasy Football app, but I haven't downloaded it yet and the reviews weren't spectacular. I don't know if it has a Draft feature.

TwinTurbos94 · Aug 26, 2011

is there another date you can do? I'll be out that whole weekend from Friday to monday

Villain · Aug 26, 2011

Any time works for me, if I can't make it I have an auto draft queue that doesn't look half bad. Usually the computer makes better picks than me anyways. :lol:

Sixty-Niners are ready to go!

So am I, I think. That is the current plan.

JFM92_GTRacer · Aug 30, 2011

We need to throw out some dates...September 4th is good? What about a weekday?

Northstar · Aug 31, 2011

Current time works for me, 4th would work as well.

TwinTurbos94 · Sep 1, 2011

the 4th is fine as long as it's between 2 and 9pm EST.

UnoMOTO · Sep 2, 2011

My ESPN league has a bench of only three players and the more I think about it, the more fun I think the league will be. No more hanging on to a loaded bench. It will force player movement during the bye weeks like we have never seen before. I think it also gives everybody a fighting chance rather then getting stuck with some bad injuries or crappy players.

What do you guys think?

FoolKiller · Sep 2, 2011

If we get a few more votes for the 4th I'll move it (if I can on the road). Otherwise I will be leaving it as is. I am getting ready to hit the road now.

Omnis · Sep 3, 2011

The 4t is good with me as long as it's before 5pm

FoolKiller · Sep 3, 2011

I don't even have 3G at this lake cabin and can't load the Yahoo page, so those able to should plan on drafting tonight.
