You should contact someone at MDC. They should be set up for 12 hours max.

There is a slight issue with this draft that we are working through. I don't anticipate it running past noon Eastern.



Thank you for your patience.

If anyone wants to step in RIGHT NOW, let me know and you'll be drafting today. We have some work to do to get a new person into this draft, but once we do we'll be rolling again. Sorry for the confusion, but someone contact me or geoff and we'll get you drafting.

Jon McGuffin was signed up for the next draft and he will now jump into No. 19. Thanks Jon.



We'll be rolling with this shortly. Look for a new email from Geoff shortly. Sorry all.

Greg- are we sarting over or picking up with team 7's pick. Just curious. I assume the guys that drafted 1-6 would keep the players they took last night.
OK - So I'm not as good as I thought I was; but at least I am consistent.

It's good that Jon is taking over for the nine spot, but the delay is with the 7 hole-- John Kerr

We should just continue. Since the guy that dropped out hasnt picked yet then it's a moot issue.



Lets just keep going. And hopefully a little faster

No, we're not starting over but it's possible that Geoff will have to create a new URL to get Jon in. Otherwise he will just have to go in under a different name. Geoff is going to get to this in the next hour and get a hold of all of you. If he creates a new URL, he will just enter the first seven picks and then go forward. But all seven picks are set.



Yes, we stopped the draft as soon as we heard from the affected owner. This happened overnight, so Geoff just told me this morning. We acted as soon as we could.



But it's all fine now. We have so many emails and signups coming in that there was a mixup, and likely by me!! Sorry for the delay, but we'll carry on now. Thanks all.

[/QUOTE]Alrighty, this draft is back and running again with the new owner in Slot 9, and the correct picks in slots one through eight.



My apologies for the delay ... enjoy the draft!
