Drafted a satellite last night, but no rosters are showing this morning. Curious, when they will load?

I don't even remember my own picks!

Very soon. We are working on finalizing a few things.



Thanks much.

Way to go Quack. Now they won't get loaded until opening day.

I don't even remember my own picks! In the meantime just go back to MDC - there you can look at a grid for your entire draft.

Yes, last night on NFBC site. I think the players are loaded because the "my players news" shows already for my draftees. It's like the Roster function is not turned on for some reason.

[/QUOTE]i was in the 9PM ET draft, it took a little over 4 hours. if you average 30 seconds per pick, it's going to take 3 hrs 45 mins.



after looking at my team, maybe i should have taken less time. couldn't have done much worse.

Quack and I were in the 7ET draft and it was a full 5 hours and change. Sped up towards the end as we were on a 6-hour pace at one time.

The 5-hour draft last night had a lot of issues -- none of which were the fault of the Fanball software.



One of the members of the league couldn't get the software to function properly so I had to take his picks over the phone -- which at times required me to pause the draft.



During one of the pauses, my entire home network crashed, and it took two years off of my life trying to get back connected.



Usually, that wouldn't be a problem, but Greg and Tom were traveling to their live draft locations, and weren't in the draft room like they usually are.



So, to sum it up, it was the perfect storm of bad....



-User couldn't get in

-Had to pause the draft to make his pick in Round 16

-My home network crashed (couldn't get online) and the draft remained paused.

-No Greg or Tom to start it up or convey the message that I was having troubles

-I finally got on after 10-to-15 minutes and got the thing running



If one of those things would've gone right, there wouldn't have been any issue. Unfortunately, everything went wrong, and there was no way for it to be corrected until my stubborn internet connection decided to work with me.



It wasn't the fault of the software; it was all on me, and I apologized then and I will apologize again now.



And yes, I cracked one open immediately after this ordeal

imo

i think the Fanball draft site/software is great. very user friendly.

Let me ask this. Is anyone using Windows 7 along with internet explorer 8? I've had some issues with the new mock draft sight and I'm tring to get some idea what it may be. Thanks in advance.

For those that drafted on the NFBC site, you can find your league draft results in the Mock draft results. Just stumbled onto it myself.

I created the drafts too close to the actual start time. This caused an issue when the draft started. So I'm going to try it again by either joining an existing draft or creating one much earlier. Thanks for you reply!

OK. Good luck next time.



I did create one myself but it was for several days ahead of time.
