If you do not know yet, I am running the drafts for Israel. This is a warning that if you did not send me your list, I cannot put it into effect. I have some from Eric and Ed but do not expect them to do all of the legwork if you want your choices.

[Barry Bonzack]

I understood we would be doing 3 regionals today, but when did we decide to do them before 7:00?

Schedule issues for one of the runners.

FYI, one of tomorrow's will be at 6:00 EST. (I have a meeting at 9:00 EST, and need to eat first.) This is the only other off-normal one that I know about. Which one will be released after the rest of today's drafts.

[Elgin Clock]

There are way too many events nowadays. LOL

[EricH]

Just wait till next year, Elgin.

Cass Tech will be starting at 6:00 PM EST due to a minor schedule conflict. The random list for it is below.

Perhaps next year we'll have enough events to justify one big draft at the beginning, where you pick, say, 10 teams and play N in any given weekend. That could be discussed next year though.

I've got a hunch that might not work. You'd have to have N of the teams you have playing on that weekend. Roughly a total rethink of the FF system, not that that's a bad thing.

What would be better would be Brandon having more free time (or some help) to get the automated system working. (Yes, there is at least one automated system in the works. No, I don't know when it'll be done.)

You know, i was actually thinking this idea last night... in Fantasy Football or any other sports, teams have bye weeks or some teams play more games than the othen other teams.

I don't see why this can't be done, it might be complicated at first as to how to deturmine how we are going to do this, but im willing to come up with a system that can make it work; ie

for week 3
Lineups must be PM'ed to Koko and Eric by 7PM EST Wednesday night. same with add/drops (those can be posted or PMed but have to be done before 7PM Wednesday)... I can see something like this working

one huge draft would be awesome

Or, for a more practical version: You draft a total of x teams (where x is less than or equal to the number of events times 3) for a given week. 6 drafts. Any team competing that week is up for grabs. 'Cause trust me, you DON'T want to have to make sure a certain number of teams in a given list are in fact competing that week. I had enough headaches last year with the normal "shuffle" of teams not showing up or managing a last-minute event switch.

In every major sport all teams play the same number of games over the course of a season. A bye week in Fantasy Football is quite different than the situation that would occur here because a bye week is only one week. Making lists for such a format would be pretty much impossible, you would have to have a live draft. A live draft of this magnitude would be nightmarish without an automated system to keep track of the teams and allow players to search the teams remaining.

Eric's idea would be quite a bit more manageable.
