Hello everybody. Just wanted to check in an give an update on the date of the draft. Looks like the 24th and 25th won't work due to some scheduling conflicts. There is always the potential of doing auto draft or someone else doing the picking for specific individuals but I don't that is the best solution. I think we all feel it is best if all 12 of us are doing the selections. If it comes to that, then we will just have to make due.
So let me throw out the other options.
Friday Evening August 23rd. 5:30/6 PM? - We actually have had the draft more than once on a Friday night. Do not recall any issues. The only potential problems would be if everybody would be off of work by then and the Kotiewicz duo back east with the 8:30/9 PM EST start.
Saturday August 31 - Labor Day weekend. Is everybody going to be around? Final weekend before the start of the season.
Saturday August 17. You better start doing your homework now! It isn't uncommon for leagues to have their drafts by or before this date.
I think those are the three best options at this moment. If anybody else has some suggestions please feel free to share. As for me, I am open to any of those dates.
Since we don't get together anymore for a draft party (would actually love to do that one year for majority of us locals), I would still like to promote the 9AM time if we do the Saturday draft. I hope to hear back from you all soon as possible so we can input the date into the system.

Sorry I'm so late to the conversation. I've got another draft on Sunday the 25th at 12 noon PST. Otherwise I'm good, so 24th is open and 25th starting at 9 pst would work as well, but any later than that might run into my other one (which i could handle 2 at once for a few rounds I'm sure).
I'm OK with either day. (24 or 25)
