Re: [FF]: 2016 Season Long Fantasy FIRST

Makes sense. As long as it's not a 17 person draft, I can deal with it.

The program part was because apparently Excel likes to set a particular random number as the first one, every time it wakes up, and THEN randomize it, so that's just to clear out the initial random number. For a while we had one particular player as the starter unless the runners re-ran the setup. That's when I added that in.

Re: [FF]: 2016 Season Long Fantasy FIRST

I have to take myself off of drafts for the first couple of weeks. I will have limited computer access due to my laptop screen going out. (I'm using an external monitor to write this--you have no idea how sore my neck is getting!)

Palmetto, Pittsburgh, Israel, and Arizona North need coverage. I've flagged them in red on the GDoc.

Hopefully I can get a repair done/new computer within that timeframe, and cover the rest of my slots.

Re: [FF]: 2016 Season Long Fantasy FIRST

Eric,

I can, at least, cover Palmetto.

I have the resources for running a draft, is there somewhere that I need to submit the final picks and stuff?

Haven't made that yet. Last year we just used a google sheet with the players and picks, arranged in blocks by event. I'll have to see if I can find a link.

Re: [FF]: 2016 Season Long Fantasy FIRST

Not sure if it's too late to join a team yet but if anyone needs a member who is an expert on teams in the southwest then I'm your guy. As for other regions, I know who most of the top teams are around North America by number and name. Let me know in thread or PM me if you want me on your team.

Which means that if they don't show up tomorrow, for either draft, the PMs and public warnings start flying.


FYI, I should be (mostly) back in draft-running form after tomorrow. Still getting the computer situation squared away, but it's getting there.
