Ed, can we have a new rule added that if someone is booted and you want to vulturize their teams, that you have to recreate the graph with that person removed along with the switch?
And don’t forget to put the teams into the pool again…
While I don’t think we need a rule on this, good practice indicates that you should, on someone getting the boot, remove them immediately from that tier. Standard practice last season was to leave their slot blank for the first vulturization or two, then remove it entirely.
Count me in.

I’m in.
When do we have until to decide if we want to join? I love the game, but time will be oh so precious this year and I would like to get a feel for my school work before I commit to anything.
There will be a notice before the draft closes. I would say that it’ll be the day before we start drafting, which is usually around December 1.
How long will it take to get this thread stickied, last time it took us 142 days, can we beat it this year?
Alex, if you have a lot of school work but want to play, my suggestion is to create your pick lists over Thanksgiving break and send them to the people running the drafts (mainly Ed and Eric).
Actually, I’ve got some work for some mods: How about changing the sticky to this thread and locking all the 2008 and 2009 drafting threads so we know we’ve got the right one when it’s trading time?
Definitely second the recommendation to do your lists when you don’t have schoolwork/have some time off. If needed, I can send lists to anyone else running a draft.
Also, as a heads-up: I’m going to be trying something new behind-the-scenes. I have a hunch that it’s going to really cut back on double picks. However, it works best if there are lots of lists. If it works, I’ll make it public/open source, so someone with more knowledge than me can make it even better.
I brought it up to Brandon at IRI.
I’ll bring it up again.
I guess that means I should join… count me in.

The thread is now stickied!
24 days, thats 118 days less that last year. Thank you Ed, Thank you Brandon and thank you to all the mods that go very under appriciated.
Now back to our regular programing. (just noticed that pun there)
For the record, if you want to help run the drafting or help with the scoring, just say so. We can use all the help we can get, especially during the time around Christmas when it’s harder for some of us (like me) to do a draft. (Side note: If I have to do any drafts on Thursdays, I’ll probably start them around noon-one EST instead of the standard start time of 7:00 PM EST due to unavoidable meetings. If I get any on Tuesdays, expect them to start just a hair late–I have a meeting that I can’t get out of right before the normal start.)
We can take as many people as want to join up, whether or not you decide to help us out. Just make sure you have enough time first!
Im NOT playing, but I think you guys left out XualZan11, on the first page…

I’d be willing to help, though I have no clue what I am doing.
I can probably help with drafts, and i seem to have gotten taken off the list somehow as well.

We train. I have an aid that may help if you’re planning to run drafts.
I have you on the official list, Joe. Right between myself and Barry, if that’s any help…
I’ll help again.
I’d love to help run a few drafts and score them!!
