Fantasy Draft for Tongiht!

CheramieIII · 07-31-2004, 05:36 PM

Since we now have 14 teams what is the problem with having the draft tonight, besides a few people who can't make it for assorted reasons. If that's the case we will have to change the draft alot because there will always be a few people that can't make it.

This is not fair for the people that were ready for the draft TONIGHT!

The draft dates were way too early. I understand that you\'re pumped and ready to go, but by having a fantasy draft before the first preseason game has been played, you\'re drafting blind. By pushing it back, you get the chance to see more of who will be healthy, who\'s developing, who\'s surprising, who\'s injured, and who\'s suspended. I understand your frustration, but really, be thankful.

Then I guess I would ask why in the hell did someone schedule the draft for today if someone knew it was going to be changed anyway.

And what about the other people who were pumped just like me.

Why did\'nt we vote on this?

Yea, I\'m upset and rightfully so, someone should have told us long before today that the date was going to be changed, because someone knew.

what we ought to consider is that we vote on it as a league. I to was ampt and ready to go this evening to have my hopes dashed... I don\'t have a problem with the draft this early, injuries ect is part of the game. I am also keen on the idea of this being a keeper league if we can arrange it.

Ditto. I\'m glad to see someone who was just as :mad2: as me. I really like the keeper idea. Never played that way before but that would certainly make next year interesting.

Would we keep 1, 2 or 3 players?

We try to give you the best Fantasy Free sites there are. We drafted last night and if you polled the managers of those teams I feel sure that they would have waited too. As for keeper leagues, Yahoo doesn\'t offer keeper leagues. Just have fun, when I first joined BnG, we didn\'t even have FF.

Be sure to remember it\'s not easy to set up these leagues, I should know I set them up last year. :P

I know they are difficult to run and set up, I was the commish for a manual draft last year and it was hell, but we should have changed the date long before this morning.

I\'m over it now. That\'s as long as I get my Fantasy Football Draft on August 21st at 8:00 PM central time.
