When is this going to be able to happen?



Maybe a good one to beta test BBDS on?

More importantly, when will the winner of Gekko Jeopardy be announced? As one of the weekly winners, I am hoping for my name to be pulled so that I can control 2 of the 15 draft slots.

I PM'd Greg a week or so ago on the when and it hadn't been decided, though he did mention a preference towards the last week in March.



And if the gang, Greg, Tom, et al want to kick the tires on something, I'm game.

Maybe a good one to beta test BBDS on? how about BBDS with actual monies with the total $ bid going into the kitty ? It prob wont add up to much but it's a good way to gauge draft preference.



Q

Greg will be back tomorrow and can confirm and set a time, but last we checked schedules we were looking at Wednesday, March 28.

mentioned this to Greg who is obviously busy getting the main even squared away but said he would get back to this as soon as he could and try and find a date we can all be happy with.

Is this still on?

[/QUOTE]I've got a sat on the 28th and a private league on the 31st. Haven't heard anything. Running out of possibilities unless we start after the opening bell.

Alright, I admit I dropped the ball on this. I had planned to send out an e-mail this week detailing what I want each of the Content Panelists to do during the season. Basically, I want each person to write about their league during the season with weekly updates, letting others know about the competitive FAAB bids, comraderie among league mates, fight to the finish on stat categories, etc. I didn't get it done as I'm juggling baseball and football right now and running out of days and nights with all of these satellite leagues. Tom is too.



I'd be open to hosting the draft Sunday night, Monday or Tuesday and starting FAAB on Sunday, April 7th or whatever that is. I trust not all 15 members will have the same free dates, but that's where we're at right now. Let me know if you'd like to draft on Sunday while watching the opener and I'll get it done. Thanks and sorry for being out of touch.

I'm also in favor of BBDS for draft spots if you want to do it. I'll work with STATS to subtract the totals if we agree to go that way. Start the discussion and end it quickly!!

BBDS fine with me, KDS fine with me, random draw fine with me. Lets keep it simple- I think Sunday night is a great idea as most junkies are home anyway. I think you just have to dictate how this is going to happen and people will adjust or not participate me included. Only way you pull it off in the next 3-4 days. Hell for ease set it up on mock draft now give it a password and make draft slots first come first serve- if any of the content panel cannot make it something tells me that you will find a taker or two.



Also willing to put a little money in for roughly 65 bucks we can get first place in to a 1000 satellite in 08, and your offer of 500 for 2nd place.

If you have trouble filling up...I'll be home Sunday night.

I am ready for Sunday night also and like the $65 idea. For quickness sake, I'm in favor of just drawing our slots out of Tom's famous hat. Can STATS load our league fast enough before Monday's first pitch?
