Welcome, everybody! \:D/

This is VBS week at my church, so I'm a little swamped with things. But I will be reviewing this thread, considering suggestions and getting the league set up shortly!

One quick thing: do we want a live draft? If so, what part of the week works best for everyone?

I'd like a live draft so if im available I can do it live if I'm not I'll roll with auto draft. I would prefer live draft I'm available any time before August 7, after which I won't be availablele for 2 weeks

Live draft was awesome last year. Any night after seven works best for me but I'm flexible.

What owners? The League owner? AE can arbitrarily veto trades from the outside that the people actually involved have already accepted? And that's the reason for the delay?

No it takes four owners vetoing the trade to make it not go through.

So it's something that will never happen in our League and should be turned off if possible.

League setting change
The trade review for our league has been turned off for the 2014 season. There is no pressing need for it. However, intentionally making an uneven trade is strictly prohibited.

Draft info
Best times for a live draft:
AE: Thursday - Tuesday after 7PM EST
KF: Any night after 7PM
EII: Anytime? before August 7

Obviously, live drafts are difficult to coordinate, but we'll do our best. Please let me know if anyone has specific scheduling preferences.

As long as ESPN allows joint ownership of a team, I see no reason to ban it from our league. You all are welcome to invite a friend to play along.

By anytime I mean anytime between 12-10pm Pacific time on pretty much any day. Could go read earlier if that is relevant. However would not be good in evenings Friday or any of Saturday.

I'm in again, live draft would be good. After 7 usually works for me, Tuesdays would be good. Wednesdays would not.

Monday is about the only bad day this month for me. It would work if it was 8EST or later though. This is kinda early in terms of player evaluation though. The first depth chart hasn't even been released.

Well looks like I won't be there then :) I'll roll with auto draft like last year. Let's just hope I don't get any suspended players.

Yes it worked just fine. However if next week Tom Brady hurts his knee, or Jackson Smithfield becomes starting TE for the Browns it could ruin seasons before a preseason game of football has been played.

You could always drop players too. And if that did happen, that would suck, because cameron's my starting TE in another league. :lol:

I think we should hold off for a few more weeks. The season begins on September 4. I'm thinking it would be best if we draft sometime between August 15 - 25. That allows time for more teams to join (if interested) and it also allows time to get our teams prepared for the year. \:D/
