Nymr83 Feb 07 2007 09:32 AM

can we try to form a consensus on a draft day? the opener is sunday april 1st, i would like to do it saturday the 30th of march or the weekend before that,

Sounds good to me.

I'd have to autodraft if it was the weekend before the 30th, so I'd prefer the 30th.

Sunday evenings usually seem to work best for these things. Yahoo sign-ups begin February 15. I suggest whoever the commissioner is this year signs the league up as early as possible on that day so we can get a good draft slot. Even if all the rules, etc., aren't worked out by then, you can always edit them after the league is created.

i'll sign us up as soon as i can and grab saturday the 30th in the evening if thats what we want? i know last year i signed up on the second day and the draft days we wanted werent open but later opened up (leading me to believe that they reserve these slots initially for their "pay" leagues until they see they wont need that many)

i agree with abogie. Sunday nite seems ideal... the night before the season starts, with the kids in bed. i vote for 9pm on sunday.

Nymr83 Feb 08 2007 09:08 AM

the season starts on Sunday April 1st, I want to draft before that (preferrably the night before) but i'm happy with the weekend before (be it saturday or sunday) as well.

Vic Sage Feb 09 2007 11:51 AM

i'd vote for the previous Sunday nite, then.

Yahoo is doing some sort of site upgrade on the 15th. They now say baseball signups will begin on the 16th.

Nymr83 Feb 14 2007 09:18 AM

the 16th it is then

abogdan Feb 16 2007 01:32 PM

Yahoo baseball sign-ups are live.

Nymr83 Feb 16 2007 01:38 PM

just saw and just signed us up.

SUNDAY THE 25TH WAS NO AVAILABLE (EXCEPT AT 9AM) SO I SELECTED SATURDAY THE 24TH AT 6:30 PM FOR OUR DRAFT we can still changwe it but those dates fly fast. there are NO drafts whatsoever (it wasnt even a choice) on sunday april 1st. if anyone joins other leagues and sees that later times on sunday the 25th of march have opened up please post here IMMEDIATELY when that happens.

Vic Sage Feb 16 2007 02:16 PM

that saturday is not going to work for me, unless you do it late (after 10pm). i guess i'm stuck with another autodraft. i hate autodrafts.

A Boy Named Seo Feb 16 2007 02:55 PM

Yeah, that Saturday doesn't work for me either, but I didn't want to say anything being new guy. I'll ready for the autodraft, too.

Nymr83 Feb 16 2007 04:43 PM

we can change it, i just had to pick a date and the one we had settled on isnt available.

A Boy Named Seo Feb 16 2007 06:22 PM

It's cool, man. I imagine there's not much of a choice left. Another league I'm in had to go with another week altogether.

Nymr83 Feb 16 2007 07:46 PM

yeah, we just need to keep our eyes open as last year they opened up more dates/times at the last minute

Looks like they've added some more times. You might be able to find a late 3/25 now.

Nymr83 Feb 25 2007 09:15 PM

the only times available seem to be 9, 10, 11 am on that sunday. i'll keep checking back, if those times opened up others may as well.

A Boy Named Seo Feb 25 2007 09:25 PM

Yeah, they had a bunch of midday times earlier, too. Might be worth keeping an eye out for.

abogdan Feb 27 2007 02:40 PM

Evening times on Sunday March 24 and Saturday March 31 have opened up.

Nymr83 Feb 27 2007 06:07 PM

thank you abogdan, we are now Sun Mar 25 6:30pm EDT from 7-10 was blocked off and i didnt think anyone would want to start at 10.

cooby Feb 27 2007 07:11 PM

That's Lee Mazzilli's birthday. Easy to remember

smg58 Feb 27 2007 08:28 PM

Cool, I have a better chance of not needing to autodraft on Sunday evening. So is anybody else jumping on the boat, or are we set at eleven?

Nymr83 Feb 27 2007 08:42 PM

in a few more days we'll open it up to non-board members that are friends/family....but we'll limit it to each person can only invite 1 other guy/girl at first so that the league doesn't fill up with 5 of my friends in 5 minutes. oh, and we should require said people to at least come say hello on the board, maybe they'll like it here!
