Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

I apologize if this has been answered somewhere, but i didn't see it. Will the drafting tomorrow take place on this thread?

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

Ah, okay, thanks for clearing both of those up, EricH. Friday's coming up fast; I'm getting excited! ::rtm::

Duke461, I'm 90% that they will occur on this thread from what I've read, as shown above (hopefully someone such as EricH or Koko Ed will be able to confirm).

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

No.

For one thing, "tomorrow" is Thanksgiving, 11/24. Drafting starts on 11/25 (Friday).

For another, Hallry, the post you quoted was in reference to a specific post asking to be notified about drafts. I was emphasizing this thread because it is the announcements/official business thread. The only part of the draft that is posted here is the random list for each draft--but that tells you a) that the draft is on, b) who is running it, and c) that you need to look for the draft threads. Oh, and d), which teams you might get lucky with on the randomizer.

Each draft will have at least one thread, and often two, dedicated to only that draft, with the draft order, times, and available teams.

What to expect when drafting/A typical draft
 

This is a rough timeline of what happens in a draft.

AM of draft day: The tiers and random lists are posted. The random lists will be in this thread; the tiers will have their own thread. Tiers are randomly assigned. Sometimes this happens the night before (early) or the afternoon of (late).

7:00 PM, draft day: Drafts are officially open. However, under the rules, as long as everyone ahead of you in the draft has drafted, go right ahead as soon as you find out that your slot is open. Your slot "closes" when the slot behind yours opens up (at the time listed). At that time, you will be assigned a random team if you have not made a pick either in person or via list.

A note on draft order: We run a serpentine pattern, 1-n, n-1, 1-n, with turns changing every 5 minutes, 2 minutes, and 1 minute respectively.

End of Draft: When the last pick is made (or assigned), the trading period is open. Trades may be made with the pool of available teams or with another player (if both players are willing). Up until midnight, dropped teams go to the available teams pool (except for the case of a player dropping out); after that time or if the player dropped out of the league, any dropped teams go to the waiver system.

Between the end of the draft and the week of the event: Trades may be made, teams add or drop the events (waivers are in use to deal with that--see the waiver thread or the SLFF rules), and robots get built.

The week of the event: drafts lock at midnight the night before the event. Any missing teams for a given event at that time are replaced by random teams. It's in your best interest to check that all your teams will be there before the drafts lock!

One other thing: If you make a request for a team, and it isn't enacted in the next tier update, wait one tier update and check again before asking again. Chances are, whoever's running the draft was typing up the next tier update post when you posted the request.

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

Are 16, 57, and 148 attending alamo? I didn't see them on the event team list on the FIRST website. Oh well, Eric you'll be getting a revised team list in a bit.

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

The program pulls the teams right off the FIRST site. I guess I have to take a long look at my list, too!

[EDIT] Hmmm... You're right, they aren't shown. Neither is 647. I'll look into what's going on.

EDIT 2: 16 can't be attending Alamo... They're at Kansas City.

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

Plus it doesn't look like any of the rookies are on there.:confused:

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

[computer voice] Incorrect list entry. Cause unknown. Activating Manual Fallback.[/computer voice]

I'll have a correct random list up shortly.

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

Awesome thanks Eric. I think I submitted my Alamo list to Koko Ed would you like me to PM you it?

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

That'd be great.

I've put in the correct random list; I now get to fix the draft file... Well, that won't take too long.

Re: [FF]: 2012 Season Long Fantasy FIRST!
 

I would like to back out of the drafts before it starts
