yes, if you get me the lists in the morning. I could also prep for three on Monday.
edit: if given the list on Sunday.
Slight revision:
- Saturday, normal. Release tiers/events for Sunday.
- Sunday, three drafts. Release tiers for Monday.
- Monday, 2-3 drafts. Depends on response. One will probably be early, regardless.
- Rest of week, 2 drafts/day. At some point, one or two or more volunteers run one or more drafts.
- As scheduled, with any later revisions. New drafters help greatly here.
If you’re interested in running drafts, say something either here or via PM. I should note that it takes me about an hour to set up for a draft, and I usually have the randomized list ready before I start. (I have three right now, ready to go.) Then, of course, there’s the time in the draft and the post-draft cleanup. Figure about 2-3 hours total, plus any randomizing time.
Right now, the question is, How many drafts on Monday? Current consensus is 2, and any more depends on when the tiers are released. If there is strong disagreement on this, speak up!
One note to all participants: There is no rule saying that you can’t send in all your lists at once (some people already have, in fact). So if you want to deluge us with lists, go ahead.:] You don’t have to wait for tiers to be announced.
M, W, F, S, S, are almost impossable for me to do, because I am working on those days usually
the best bet would be something along the lines of 3 drafts during the weekend and 2 drafts per night, one starting at 7PM EST and another starting at 7PM PST I think taht would be the best way to make it work, for the weekends, maybe 1, 4, and 7 PM EST would be great
Work is one reason this discussion started–I only know that I’ll probably (99% chance) be working after next week, and the way work is scheduled, who knows when I’ll be available. (That, and having the week after Christmas be my jury duty week, when my schedule could go south at any time…)
I’ll think about those times. What will probably happen is that two drafts are at the normal time (7 PM EST) and one is either earlier (say, 4:30 - 5PM EST) or later (say, 9 PM EST).
I am fine to run drafts on the days I mentioned, I am not sure about keeping up switches after the initial drafting. I think two drafts a day monday-friday, three on saturday and sunday. I do suggest that when you have a schedule to release it.
i am fine with running drafts any day, but please consider the time differences.
i can do them at say, 10 pm Israel, and that is 3 pm for you guys…
is that ok, if yes, i’d be happy to help, plus i did one or two drafts last year so i think i remember how it goes…
The weekend schedule:
Dec 13Peachtree Regional , Pittsburgh Regional (both at 7:00 PM EST)
Dec 14Silicon Valley Regional , Wisconsin Regional, Israel Regional (Time TBD–will depend on who does them and when they’re open.)
I’ll have to review the rest of the schedule and talk it over with Ed and anyone else running drafts. Someone should post it sometime before Sunday night’s draft(s).

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.
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.
There are way too many events nowadays. LOL :yikes:
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.
