Hey Mark,
I know that you have plenty of experience finishing in less than five seconds, but didn't your wife tell you that this is not one of your better skills? :lol: :lol: Thank you everyone, I'll be here all week. :mrgreen:

Please include me in the slow draft on the 19th. I told you ... I am not going to get it right the first time. I will register now.

Greg or anyone else, where do I go now to set up my KDS? I am new at this but don't you have to have a link to the league first? I'm in a slow draft now and was never able to set it. Thanks in advance.

Once you have signed up for the league you'll see the KDS preferences on your team page. Set them there and you'll be all set. If you're having any trouble with that let us know.

We need everyone to sign up for this draft so they are registered in the system. You can use the March 1 default date option for the $150 slow draft as you would with our other leagues. We'll set the KDS deadline for Monday morning so everyone should sign up and get your preferences set by then.

So you wanna play in the major leagues? How about I put you right next to Derek Jeter in the dugout, but first you need to start out selling popcorn in the stands. Got it son!

Might want to try one of these.

Those who have gone through it already:

1. How early can we access the draft room to queue our players?

2. Do we need to draft from a rest room? Any breaks?

3. What happens if someone picks the wrong player -- how quickly do Firemen Greg and Tom come in?

4. What is likely to go wrong in a 6-hour plus marathon?

The first one is being done this Sunday so better answers Monday, but...
1) Sunday first thing AM (unless you get them to set it up as Saturday and then have draft paused until Sunday - ask me Monday how that worked)
2) You should agree on scheduling some breaks (we are taking 15 min after round 15 and another 15 after round 35 - so breaking in slightly into 15/20/15 segments but again that needs to be agreed on....or have a Draft Nazi in charge)
3) They can't possibly be there throughout the draft but hit the button and pray BUT this will REALLY slow down your draft
4) It could easily turn into 8 hours (or longer) - the fastest setting they have this year is 90 seconds - sure you can get everyone to "agree" to 60 max but the maching won't force it

Just a heads up that I can't run KDS for this league tomorrow without everyone signed up. I'm still missing:

Mark Srebro
Norm Kent
Ryan Carey
Jeff Tudor

Jeff, I guess we can just use your Fast signup. Fix your KDS on there. Then I guess we're down to 3 left.

Okay, everyone is signed up now. Norm and Mark, I set your teams up. Set your KDS preferences tonight. If all goes well, we'll pick draft spots tomorrow afternoon or Tuesday morning and we'll have some fun with it on the Message Boards. Good luck all and please set your KDS preferences tonight.
