Hope everbody is having a great weekend. Happy 4th to you all! I just wanted to update where we stand in regards to the date of the draft, draft order, and poll. If you have not voted, please submit your vote in regards to the waiver wire.
The date of the draft has not been set yet. August 24 was the first date suggested. I have only heard back from two of you. That date might not work for one team. Obviously we want everybody physically engaged (instead of autodraft) in the draft. If we can't make the 24th work (does not mean it can't) then I would suggest Sunday the 25th or the next week which is Labor Day Weekend, Saturday August 31 (preferably) or Sunday June 1.
I'm hoping to hear back from you all soon on this issue. I just want to know how flexible everybody is in their schedule. Personally if we can't do the 24th, I would suggest Sunday the 25th so everybody can enjoy the Labor Day weekend with no football obligations. I would still promote the 9am PST/12 EST time.
Finally the draft order has been established. I can't put in in website yet until we have a draft date set, but for you who want to start strategizing, here it is!
I hope everbody has a great week and I hoope to hear from you soon.

I just wanted to make a potential time change to the message I sent above. I mentioned having the draft at 12 PM PST. We can do that but we did have it last year at 9 AM. For you east coasters, obviously it would be at 12 EST. I thought it worked out well last year. We all had the rest of our Saturday to enjoy when we did it in the morning. Obviously the time will be set that can accomodate everybody but I would love to have it again at 9. Looking forward to hearing back from you all.

Hello everybody. I hope everyone is doing well. It is June 11. Before we know it, the draft and season will be upon us. I know the first game of the NFL season is Thursday Sept 5. I want us to get ahead of the "game" and get your opinions on some dates. I know last year we had the draft on Saturday August 26. Looking at the calendar the date this year would be Saturday August 24. This falls in line with what we did last year, as it was a week and a half before the Thursday night game. Labor Day weekend is the following week. There is a chacne some of us will be out of town. I thought last year's date and time 12 PST worked out well (Those on the east coast seemed to survive!). I would love to know what everybody thinks and if there are any conflicts.
Secondly, I just want to remind everyone if you have not submitted a vote for the waiver wire opotions, please do when you have time. The poll is up on the main page. Six teams have submitted a vote at this time.
