that would be the same time as last year, and it seemed to work ok. then the supplemental draft here (usually just a few picks), then slow draft through the league site. last year i don't think we were TOO pressed for time. does anyone have any major issues, like they're going to be in burkina faso the week of the 20th? speak up now.

fyi - i am in china the week of 8/27, but i will try to stay connected as best i can.

I thought we did a live on-line draft last year...

What do you do that'll have you in China?

how could i forget

wait, i don't want _______

i head up the global IT operations for one of our company's business units.

I will be out of town 8/24-8/26.

As of now, the rest of the month is wide open for me.

we did.

i'm a big fan of live drafts and would hope that we can do it again this year.

anytime in august is good for me.

What idiot did that? You need to give him a good talking to...

i liked getting that done as well. should we throw out some dates? how about wednesday, august 22?

I'll probably be in Jackson, Miss. that week working with a client. If it's after 6pm CDT, I should be able to make it work though. The later the better.

Why so early though? What about the following week, or even the Tuesday after Labor Day?

that next week is the one tone-loc is in china.

what about tuesday 9/4 (day after labor day)? anyone going out of town or anything?

Well, since I'm the project manager, I've slipped the week I'll be in Miss. to the same week toronator and creaper are unavailable. As long as the client buys off on it, I should be good for the 22nd.

Out of town August 19th through 24th. I have a live draft evening of 24th.
Also out of town September 5th and 6th.

September 4th works for me.

I have no conflicts on my schedule right now except for another draft I have scheduled for August 31st.

Sep. 4 works for me, but remember I'm on Arizona time.

Sept 4 is good for me.

September 4th works for me.

I should be home from work and ready to go by 6:30-7PM eastern.

And what exactly are we to do with keepers? Declare them here? To you in a PM? Is there something we are supposed to do at the site?

In the past, it's been an e-mail/PM to Az. Before doing that, he's usually posted his keepers first to prevent any influence of his decision once he starts seeing keepers people are declaring.

yeah, and we'll do that again. if our draft isn't until the 4th, we can push back the keeper deadline until a week or so before that.

Sounds good to me.

So we have to declare by the 28th, then?

I guess that's a "yes."

i know it's tough to find, right at the top of the page and everything...

yup....that's what she said.......lobby bar.........right in the lobby
