It's not odd. Here's the reason from Eddie's e-mail:

I am going to require all managers to check in with me by the 25th (that's 5 days). Please reply to this email with your team name, saying you're ready to go, and you're set. ALL TEAMS WHO DO NOT CHECK IN BY THE 25TH WILL BE REMOVED!!! I really don't want to have to go through the rosters with a zillion guys on IR and alter them. I'm sure you all understand.

but check the addresses he sent it to. i was not on the email list.

as i told travis this and he then sent it to me.


im just not surprised to be booted for no reason, because it is eddie.

I may not make it for the 7:00 draft. Any one want to co-manage the team with me this year?

Would it be all the lovely profanity you used in Eddie's direction in your trash talk bubble.
I wouldn't have wanted you back either.

[Cory]

So... when's the draft going to be now that it's postponed?

And was the last team to join a real manager, or a placebo?

my Placebo team didn't stick so I guess a real manager got in.

actually no it wasn't. he never sent me the email where i was supposed to email back to make sure i was still alive. how CONVIENENT! also, i contacted indysam to co manage his team with him. i signed up and all then the team was booted. tis' the reason why there is a odd number of teams i the league and no draft...

Sounds a bit childish... I wouldn't want to even join if I were you.

Never got a email, hard to respond. Must be a lot of fear in this league managers heart.

It looks like Eddie set it up to be an autopick now.

Eddie, I see you've changed the draft from random to ordered. I hope this doesn't mean that you are putting us in the order we signed up.

I think this is totally unfair (as I've said before), and unnecessary. Why does it matter if an autodraft is conducted randomly? At least then everyone has the same shot at getting the top player. I see nothing inherently unfair about having the picks be random in an autodraft. If you set your prerankings up correctly, it shouldn't matter.

eddie will not be able to get peyton manning first pick, thats the sole purpose of doing it that way.

Sure he will, as everyone else will pick RB's.

I don't see why someone who happened to be lurking on delphi at the time eddie announced the league should get priority in the draft. What's up with that?

Seems I'm the only one complaining (and I would be regardless of if I was #2 or #16). Surely someone else in this league takes offense as well?

Aside from all the childish namecalling and nonsense, I'm confused. I thought the league was to draft this evening. Definitively, when is the draft? Last I heard from the Commish, it was to be live. Is that still the case?

Right before draft time, one of the teams was dropped/deleted. Yahoo doesn't allow drafts for leagues with an odd amount of teams. The only possible live-draft times to change to were tomorrow morning or next week. After a lengthy AIM discussion, the consensus was to change the league to an auto-pick draft starting at midnight tonight.
