Greg or Geoff-

For leagues like this without a commish, how do we deal with placeholders? Who records them, who sends to MDC or Stats, etc.? Greg--any thoughts on this? This league might start drafting placeholders soon.
[/QUOTE]Yeah, just select a placeholder and then shoot me and geoff an e-mail of who you wanted there. That's the best way to do it for now:

[email protected]

[email protected]



Geoff will then note the real player selected and update that code before we send to STATS with the final results.
[/QUOTE]Thanks, will do. I worry though about a player being drafted by multiple teams. It may happen with the slow drafts as not everyone is present all the time--someone could log on at 6 am, take a placeholder pick that was previously drafted, log off and then more picks are made before the duplicate is discovered.



Thoughts?



Not trying to be a pest at all...just trying to prevent arguments & disasters.
[/QUOTE]Yes, it's possible, but if Geoff is notified each time a placeholder is taken and told who that is, he will know whether to stop the draft or roll it back if possible. MDC is trying to have as many names in the system as possible, but obviously there will be some Class A or Double-A guys not in the system. We'll try to stay on top of this and if I'm cc'd on these too I'll keep a list for each league.

any owner can e-mail all the other owners in the draft right from the league web page and notify all of any placeholders drafted.
