I think I did a poor job of explaining the rules of the game, so let me take another stab at it here by answering these questions:Sandgnats (Bill) wrote:I was looking forward to this for fun, but learning an entire league in LRS in a few days demands quite a bit of time. Also, correct me if I'm wrong.... but as I understand it the draft is to start April 20th, (next Monday) and lasts 12 hours. It also continues through Saturday??? As I said, it's very possible that I'm just not understanding it, but is this fantasy draft taking six days to complete or isn't it?
If so, couldn't we just bang out the draft in a few hours on a weekend day?
- You don't need to learn the LRS players in a few days. In fact you'll have several weeks before the LRS players become relevant to PFB at all. The way the game is set up, it's in your best interest to draft all PEBA players. Only later (as in about a month from now) will you add 5 LRS players to your squad. That should give everyone plenty of time to bone up on who's who in the LRS.
- The "draft" is just going to be a thread here on the forum where people post their picks (e.g. "Crystal Lake selects SP Nelson Anderson"). We're going to officially start allowing draft posts Monday morning at 10 AM ET. From that point on you can post your picks as soon as your turn arrives. Between the hours of 10 AM and 10 PM next Monday and Friday, I'm asking that owners be prepared to make their picks within half an hour of their turn arriving (that's where you're getting the 12 hour idea, Bill). Of course owners can still make picks outside of those hours; those are just the times we'll be enforcing the half-hour rule.
