FIVE owners got their first preference in this draft, so this should be fun. Lots of different strategies out there. TEN owners got a preference in their Top 5.

This league has been sent to Geoff at MDC.com, so look for an invite soon.

I noticed that in our first $325 Slow Draft which is already into the 17th round, that the folks seem to be IM'ing each other or calling each other when they are almost up next. It's kept a nice flow to that draft. Slow, but still a nice pace and there seems to be folks in the Chat Room all the time. I've jumped into that one a few times to converse and read the chatter.

Remember, these are slow drafts so don't get overly discouraged if a few rounds draft, especially on the weekends. It's only January and we'll get these done in plenty of time. Plus once the drafts get flowing and folks have made a few picks they seem to flow a little better. The start is always the slowest time, especially when we start on a weekend.

But get to know your league mates and pass on some contact numbers if you don't mind a quick reminder that you're almost up. That helps everyone in these slow drafts.

Sorry to hold up the start I was at work. Steve Wells is up.

The KDS for this league was also very interesting as several owners had a plan in place for their draft spots. Here's a look at the KDS from this league:

* The average KDS preference received was 5.6, which means that each owner got between their fifth or sixth draft slot preference. In just a random selection, it's 8.0.

* Four owners got their No. 1 preference, while nine owners got a Top 5 preference. The lowest KDS preferences received were: 9, 10, 11, 12, 14.

Here's a look at the KDS listings:

3,2,5,9,10,11,12,13,2,1,14,15,8,7,6

3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,1,2,12,13,14,15
