Keep in mind that keepers are due 7 days prior but I'd be willing to decrease that if we go with the 18th. The draft has been averaging around 9 days to complete and that puts us in a crunch to get it done in time for the first game Sept 4th. Rhino and I also have another draft starting the 25th at this time on this date. I can be a draft liason so to speak helping people make their picks, but I won't like having to deal with two drafts over the holidays (I have a family and kids, a life too) so honestly I'd prefer to start the 18th. What do you say?

I see no reason not to start the 18th.

I have three other drafts after I return from vacation 8/17.

Having it on the 18th puts me in a bind keeper wise thou ... as I leave this Friday until 8/17

It won't let me vote, but the 18th is fine by me.

I have your number and can call you...is that fine?

try again please

I voted for the 18th but either is fine by me.

done

:ahem:

voted -- 8/25.

Voted 18th, but really either one would work okay.

Sorry bro!

Voted for the 18th.

18th here

refresh my memory... must keep 3, or is there a minimum?

Must keep 3.

Trust me in years past I have hated that requirement ... come to think of it I hate it this year too ... I never seem to have thre worth while keepers.

18th is fine by me. I'll need phone calls to get my picks as work is extremely protective and even the work around doesn't work.
