About when do we expect the drafting to begin?

Greg,



If you think the draft room will be up and ready early tomorrow, I'll take Pujols. I'm tied up most of the day and don't want to keep my fellow junkies from getting their fix.



Thanks.

Scott

Scott I wish I could say we'll start today, but I don't think that's going to happen. I'll try to get a timetable from IT today and get everyone on the same page. My best guess now is first thing next week and then we really get rolling. I'll update as soon as I hear something, but be ready soon.

Greg,



I am in Slow Draft #1. I can see the team on my list of teams when i log in, but the league page says that this draft is scheduled to start in March.

DJ Kinney,Were you at Nellis AFB in the early 80's?

We just have to put a date into the system for every league the way it's now set up, so all Slow Drafts will have a start date of March 31st going forward. We are trying to get these set up this morning with the right draft order on your team page and more. Hang tight as we hope to start these this morning once this last quirk is fixed.

I believe folks in the first two $150 Slow Drafts and the $375 Slow Draft now have team links and the correct draft orders on their team pages. We should be able to start these soon. We'll have the third $150 Slow Draft set up shortly. I'll provide an update shortly on all of these leagues and Geoff will send out an email as well. Thanks all and good luck. We should be able to start the draft season soon.

well ... the good news is that it looks like the slow drafts started at 11:00 Central Time! ... I have a quick question wondering if folks in the drafts will be notified that the drafts have started ... that is, may we be waiting 12 hours for the first person to pick Pujols simply because they didn't know the draft was underway?



Thanks!

Well, gotta say I am looking all over for where I can be part of the $375 Draft that supposedly started at 11:00, but no such luck. Haven't gotten any emails etc... showing me the way yet!

Hope I am not holding you up!

Hope I am not holding you up! You're not holding anything up. No worries there.



The first $150 league is ready to go. Our programmers are working to get the other three drafts (two $150 leagues and the $375 league) set up to start as well, hopefully in the next few minutes.

The leagues are getting set up. Everyone will be notified soon by email so you'll know your drafts are live.



I also was told that you can insert your cell phone number and carrier to receive text notifications after each pick. That sounds pretty sweet. Great work by our programming team to add that function.

Hi Guys,

I can't wait around anymore to make my 1st pick. Please go ahead and put Pujols in for the # 1 pick in the $375.00 league as not to hold anybody up.

Thanks a lot!

Drafting has started for 2011 baby!!!

lol..we are in round 40 in one of the slow draft leagues..it started early november. Good luck in your draft!

Alright, it started for those waiting for the software!

What is the email and phone number that those of us with smart phones can use to submit picks?

I am on the clock, so the phone number or email would save 3-4 hours of draft time before I get home. Thanks



Feel free to enter Hanley for me in slo draft 1 pick 3

I have the #2 pick in the 375 slow draft..I am in the draft room, it says I am on the clock... When I click on the blue 'Draft Player' button, it does not do anything. Anyone have any ideas? If an administrator wants to pick Hanley for me, go ahead.

There seems to be an issue with the No. 2 pick for some reason. Our programmers are looking into the problem. Sorry for the delay folks.

Bump Scott, I'd give you a number, but there is no number available from the Draft Room. There's no 'Commish' button or 'help' button either.

There is a place to put your cell number and info once you visit the Draft Room.

The first day looks like it'll be slow with glitches, you won't be holding folks up.

Bump The pick is being made and showing up on the back end, but it's not showing the user that the pick has been made, thus the confusion you're seeing now. They are working on that now and hopefully we'll be rolling again soon.
