[FF]: 2015 Season Long Fantasy FIRST: Traditional League

[EricH]

Scheduling item:

At this time, we have two drafts that didn't run on schedule--I'm guessing traffic is bad in Florida too. The problem is that we don't have any open slots, officially--Hawaii (tomorrow night, Bryce Paputa running at last word) took the last one when it moved from last Tuesday.

UNofficially, however, I anticipate the last week of drafts having some "open time" due to many of the lists for the districts only needing to be sent once.

So, here's the proposal:
Hub City (12/15, draft runner stuck in traffic) moves to a date TBD. 3/night might be a bit much, but it wouldn't be the first time. Or bump it to between Christmas and Kickoff.
Peachtree (12/17) is UP, but "inactive" as of this post. I propose that we treat that one as though it was opened early--pick if the slots ahead of you have picked, if James has a list he can put in the right teams--with a "run date" of 12/18. (As I was writing this, Ed did just that...)

Sorry about that I wish it was traffic, i can run a draft from my phone then, it was work not realizing you back up 6 months of work on a project on an external drive so that if your system goes down the night before the project is presented you still have everything available but yes I am running it as if tomorrow was the effective draft date

Couple of quick announcements, and then I'll be putting up Ventura.

1) Tonight set a record for the MOST FF event drafts in one night, at 4 drafts. Drafts are still going, too, but we seem to be back on schedule. (James, if I catch you running a draft from your phone while driving, I'll have to see if I can swipe a -infinity from Billfred for ya.)

2) We've got some waiver claims. I strongly suspect that there are more teams out there, but the policy is you see 'em, you claim 'em. If nobody wants a team, we'll let them go.

Also to be noted with the waivers is that one of the teams is claimed to fill a hole. Filling a hole in the draft (either a team dropped out, or somehow was picked twice) is an automatic bump to the top of the waiver list if you make a claim to fill that hole, automatic award of the claim, and automatic drop to the bottom of the waiver list. (Or you can just claim a pool team, but sometimes those waiver teams are too good to pass up.)

The claims, in no particular order:

303 (Tech Valley)
5076 (Greater Toronto East)
2996 (Utah)
604, 1323 (Central Valley)
3250 (Sacramento)
3314 (Alamo)
5416 (Bayou)
1622, 4026 (South Florida)

The hole to be filled: The Daedalite InVAders inadvertently got 3959 twice in Bayou, and have claimed (and been awarded) 5778 to fill the hole in their third pick.

The list:
Brolliance Beta
Team SuperPowerMatic
Koko's X-Cats
The Yellow Alliance
Swamp Life
PureMichigan
The Breakfast Company
Rotten Peach Alliance
Orange Juice
Ltown Throwdown
SHARP Cheddar
Frog Farce
Falcon
Daedalite InVAders

Oh, right, the deadline. I know it's normally 5 days, but... I'm in a giving mood. Christmas Eve at end of drafts is the deadline(6 days), sneak one in before I manage to get around to cycling and it goes in the hopper too.

If something like this happens again, can we make it so that draft runners have to post this in their draft threads? I didn't find this post til after the draft happened, and missed the draft. (I was hoping to live draft). That way it makes it more convenient and we don't have to dig through posts of randomizings.

I did post it in the thread

I don't see it in the draft thread. If you did post it, I must've missed it. I just think that if we encounter a situation like that again, the draft runner should have a separate post in the thread saying that the draft will resume again tomorrow.

On further review--I didn't notice that 5778 was already taken. Claim DENIED, InVAders will need to make another claim (or transfer an existing claim to that position). InVAders revert to slot #9 on the priority list--for now.

And the schedule for the next week or so:

20-Dec	Las Vegas	EricH
20-Dec	North Bay	orangemoore
21-Dec	Long Island	BrennanB
21-Dec	Windsor-Essex	EricH
22-Dec	Arizona West	EricH
22-Dec	Silicon Valley	orangemoore
23-Dec	Lone Star	BrennanB
23-Dec	San Diego	EricH
24-Dec	10,000 Lakes	EricH
24-Dec	North Star	orangemoore
26-Dec	Chesapeake	EricH
26-Dec	Midwest	orangemoore

For reference, there will only be 3 regionals left after this one runs out, with a bunch of block drafts over the following week. And then... Kickoff.

I would love to have lists. I currently have 1. This is the first time I will be running a draft with more than one tier. Please be patient with me.
