Do we want a draft runner Google account? Or just have one person in charge of forwarding all the lists each time?

I figure that Ed's got IRI well in hand--one draft is a lot easier than the 90+ we had last year. (And the 50+ we'll probably have this year... gulp.)

I think that one person forwarding all the lists will work, provided that they can spare the time. I'm not sure how to set up a single Google account to allow multiple people access to "what they need to know"--be nice if that were set up. The other alternative would be to have a single Gdoc, shared only with draft runners, with links to all the online lists. I don't plan to do online lists, per se, but I'll probably be PMing or otherwise dropping 'em in inboxes.

After signup starts, I'll see what I can do to get some organization in on the draft runner side in terms of schedule with a Google Calendar so known "I can't make it" dates can be put in. (Should probably start blocking out events by draft week... seeing as some are already up.)

Re: [FF]: Draft Organization Stuff To Do

The IRI draft showed up a couple of weaknesses with the drafting program. One was fixed on the fly, the rest will take some time and brainpower. Don't worry, quick fix, sort of.

1) When teams were removed from the available list, all the lists in that range jumped one step to the left. Fixed "on the fly"; will be included in the next full release.

2) Program stalls up when non-attending teams are input, more specifically when it can't find 'em to remove 'em. This one'll take some time. I gotta figure out a way to stop non-attending teams from getting that far. [Edit] Or not. There's a check built-in now, and it does work. To be released once I finish #3's complete fix.[/edit]

3) I had to break out of the code a couple of times for some other reason--I want to say similar to #2, but probably having to do more with a "special case" I had to put into the code. Hopefully it gets fixed when I work #2; if not I'll have to revisit later. (Might be the case where a team was already picked, dropped, and I forgot to drop 'em back into the list. I'll test and see if that's it; if it is I think I know how to deal with it.)

4) There's a couple of minor tweaks to make to formatting, too, and where stuff "ends up" after major moves. Won't take long at all. [Edit: To put it mildly, it didn't. A couple of "go here" commands in the right place and it's already done.]

5) Addition to deal with what I think the root cause of #3 is: A button to remove a team from the draft (and dump 'em into the right spot in the team list). That's done.

IT's still around but it's a secret forum. There's only a handful of users who can actually see it. Me being one of them.

Re: [FF]: Draft Organization Stuff To Do

As a heads-up, I got the bugs out of the sheet. It's been posted in a new location (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/3042) to distinguish ready-to-run and beta sheets.
