3rd Annual $1000 SLOW DRAFT

[Winston's Empire]

Greg & Tom - What do we need to do now, considering a lot of guys want to set the KDS right away?
Get everybody registered and set a KDS Date? Please advice...
Thanks!

[Greg Ambrosius]

Nice job everyone!! This will be fun.

Max, you set the KDS deadline for this league and we'll likely have you folks email me with your preferences. Hang tight for now until I talk with IT about this because right now we automate every league. I'll try to set this one up separately if possible. I know you folks may want your draft spots well before Feb. 16th. If not, let me know.

thanks all and we'll get this on the Registration page later and get everyone officially signed up then. No worries about that now. We're just glad to have this one filled again. Thanks all.

And we are FULL!!!!! It took me about an hour of ragging on Glenn, but we got it done boys!

Yes, Max did help convince me to rejoin this great league. Initially of the desire to reduce my number of leagues this season, I had decided to hold off on any drafts prior to March. However, Max is a very persuasive recruiter.

He had me right at the edge of returning when he hit me with this last point that pushed me over the edge.....

Juprinka, RT, Childs, and Dobies would not be returning.....and even more importantly Massotto would be!!! Our chances of cashing increases enormously.

Good luck to everyone in this blast of a league. Looking forward to February 18th.

And this coming from a guy who has won or cashed in this league how many times since he's been in it? Consider yourself lucky that you may even sniff the top three with me where I always finish.

Well based all the texts I have gotten and from what guys are saying here, lets get our KDS's set and emailed to Greg asap.

1000 SLOW KDS Deadline is Tuesday, January 1st at 5pm EST. Please email Greg with your 1 - 15 draft spot preferences and hopefully Greg can turn this thing around and post our Draft Order sometime on Wednesday, January 2nd. Thanks All

Hi,
Is this gonna happened as mentioned? Draft order today?

[Greg Ambrosius]

Probably a no on the draft order today. I need to have a talk with the IT department about this to make sure I can run the KDS like we've done before. We have automated all of these Draft Champions Leagues and I just need to see what it takes to manually set this up several weeks in advance. Give me a little time to figure this out and then I'll post something here. I know you guys want your draft spots early, but hang tight for a bit. Thanks.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! We would like to Throw That One Back Greg!

[Greg Ambrosius]

Okay Max, don't get your Cub diapers in a bundle!! Besides, shouldn't you be a Brewers' fan by now!!

Okay, I talked with IT and we can definitely set this up manually. I think I'm still missing a couple of KDS preferences, but once I have them all I can pick the draft order. Let me see who I'm missing and shoot them an email. Then I can do this manually.

I still have to add this to Registration, but we have plenty of time for that. Getting your draft picks this week is the most important thing and we've solved this. Stay tuned, but we're close.

[Greg Ambrosius]

I'm waiting to get two more KDS preferences and then we can pick draft spots. I've emailed the two late owners!!

No worries. I'm getting the last KDS shortly. Let me get this done tomorrow morning and announce the picks after 10 am ET. I can do that and everyone will be awake and ready to see their picks. Thanks all.

We are all pumped up to see where we land, hopefully one of the new guys doesn't land next to MTM, makes for a long draft!

[Winston's Empire]

Well, it was another great year in the $1000 SLOW, with 3rd Year Vet. Matt Anderson taking the Trophy and Cash! Ralfh, could you please make sure that Matt gets his Trophy CONGRATS MATT!
I would like to personally thank my 1st Round Pick (4th Overall) RYAN BRAUN for helping me out... Thanks Buddy!

any love for making this a FAAB league? Draft 30 ... ?

Not here. I'll pass on this league if so. Have enough FAAB leagues from live events.

Agree. We will be leaving this a 50 Round $1000 SLOW League. Its a great format for those who love the SLOW DRAFTS and just want to put a few more bucks on it and draft with a lot of the same guys every year. Great Group!

[Ando]

Might be a good time to remove the word SLOW from this league and rename it Draft Champions. SLOW not a good word around these parts when it comes to DC Leagues.

[fwicker]

Fair enough ... it's a good league as is. Thanks.
