Ultimate Footy (online drafts)

[BGK]

both now have 10 in lets start the draft, when the draft start ??? [colliwobblers] jumps up and down like a kid on xmas morning

start it up !!!

Draft begins tomorrow morning at 6am AEDST (I think) get your pre draft rankings in order people.

12 hours max for each person to pick? if it is wouldnt it be better starting it at night when everyone is not working like tonight? if not ok with me i dont start till 9 tomorrow :)

If I start it at night Marcz won't be home (if he is in the league, I think he is) he works nights. I can't make everyone happy, I'm happy to start it a little later, but either way I go someone will be inconvienienced.

12 hours to make a pick, im sure thats enough time no matter when it starts

[upthemaidens]

these are the two i am in and i think i have the details right. need the hosts to confirm......

ULTIMATE CHAMPIONS 562482 RUN BY SCORPAZZ 9 coaches = i think this one is a fast (1 night) draft

This league will conduct a Live Online Draft set for Thursday February 23 at 7:30 PM (AEST).

FF ULTIMATE 915246 RUN BY BESTGUYKAI   7 coaches = I think this one is a slow (12 hours/pick) draft

This league will conduct a Online Draft starting Thursday March 8 at 6:00 AM (AEST).
The draft will operate 24 hours a day. Each team will have a maximum of 12 hours 0 minutes per pick.

ok  im in the FF ULTIMATE one with u, i was thinking maybe jump to the other one than since i cant be stuffed waiting until mid march to do another draft..  and im free thursday

It wasn't going to wait until march. It's only set to that until we get a full league.

oh i see,  yeah i'll stay in it..   we have 9 now so just 1 more coach,  anyone? anyone?

  it may be a good idea BGK  to have the 12 hour picks until pick 15 or so.  then make a day/time and change to a 5 minute per pick until its finished. everyone just have to make sure they have their pre-draft sorted if they cant get to a computer on that day/night.   ofcourse its up to , im happy with whatever

I'm happy to do that, if everyone else wants too. The only reason I was pissed at the other league was because I wasn't informed until after it had happened. If I'd known I wouldve set a pre draft order.

We need 1 more person to join. Any takers? Code is 915246 password us fanfooty

If you set the pre-draft rankings, does it only draft if you're not online? Or does it still auto-draft them for you even if you are online at the time?

if u set up your pre-draft, but leave it on manual selection. u will have your alloted time to pick and when time runs out, it will auto-select for u(online/offline doesnt matter..   if u do your pre-draft and turn it to auto-select, it will automatically pick the next player in order of your pre-draft str8 away whether u are online or not.
    so best way is too make sure u have your pre-draft done and leave your settings to manual pick

where do you set that ?

[upthemaidens]

where do you set that ?

cant see it now, i think it will appear once the draft starts and its on the right above your pre-draft list on the draft page.

[Colliwobblers]

thats my concern it starts at 6 am tomorrow what if we all miss the first pick :)

[BGK]

thats my concern it starts at 6 am tomorrow what if we all miss the first pick :)

There is no way we can all miss our first pick, unless none of us come on for 120 hours. Even if you do you will get the highest ranked player available. So the first round isn't exactly a problem.

thats my concern it starts at 6 am tomorrow what if we all miss the first pick :)

set your pre-draft up so u pick who u would take anyhow  i.e. swan/pendles/ablett/boyd/murphy and so on. so if u are 5th pick and cant get to a computer u will get the highest ranked player on your list who is still available...  that will be after your 12 hours are up.   then once u get to your computer u can change your settings to auto-pick or whatever.
  unless u are the 1st pick your time may not start till later in the day cause all people before u have to choose their players before ur time starts

[Colliwobblers]

cool will do thanks for the assistance :)

stumbled straight into the draft first thing this morning and i was like  :o what then i saw the 12hour run off 8)  that run off will make it ideal for me as there shouldnt be a 12hour period where i cant get on for 5 minutes

I probably should've waited another day, but I thought its really only going to affect people if they don't come on at all today. What's the worst that can happen in the first round? You will get a premium no matter what.

[Colliwobblers]

yeah its all good, still waiting for the first pick but it will be eassy enough to get our pick doen in a 12 hour window, hopefully we all get on close to teh same time occassionaly and that will move it along, but no hurry anyway.

yeah it wasnt an issue at all, i just shower my pants cos i wasnt fully awake at the time :P
its silly they hang the messages section so low on the page in league overview ???
its just off the screen and will get lower when players get dropped and traded, so be aware of that coaches ;)

just a heads up tonight FF Ultimate Coaches, i wont be home/online until roughly 10:30pm EST
so the draft wont move past the 4th pick until that time...

[MajorLazer]

Sorry I hadn't picked. Didn't see the thread til now.
