Hey Marc thanks for stepping up and being the Commish for this draft.

Cap, I'd appreciate it...lol

I'm going to add just a second or two onto the bids so there are little to no mistakes. I honestly think that will make a world of difference. Even when George runs these, I always thought it was a little too quick. With me running it a little slower, I think everything will go as smooth as butter.

Let's just hope George emails me or calls me by tonight...I'm waiting for his email so I can have a chat with him, along with a crash course. I've run a BUNCH of cbs.sportsline drafts, so this shouldn't be too much different than those....

We'll have a blast.

Marc

Thanks for helping out Diesel!

Shouldn't be many pauses, unless someone accidentally hits $44 instead of $4.

All I ask is:

1-for everyone to take their time and be prepared for their turn

2-be conscious of the amount you are bidding on. If someone mistakenly puts $99 for Tynes, I'm not going to make him take him, but I may bust his chops for not taking the time to bid correctly.

Please stay aware. It's going to be a late night. Put the coffee pot on.

IF there is a mix up, I'll expect the person with the problem to write "PAUSE" in caps, immediately . Not call me. Calling me can result in 1-2 more players getting bid on by that time, and create more confusion.

I'll have the power to add a second or two to any part of this draft, if anyone feels there is a part of the draft that is too fast for them. I'd rather have an extra 2 seconds to nominate a player, than back track and change a player someone put up for bid by mistake. That is a difference of 2 seconds extra per person, or about 2-4 minutes to fix each problem.

We'll get through this with no problems as long as we all stay at our PC's for nearly the entire draft.

IF you get booted off, or the draft page freezes, all you have to do is click out, and click back in again. This takes a total of 1-2 minutes to do. If you're booted out, you will most likely miss out on the bidding of that one player that was being bid on, but that's a chance you take. I have no problem pausing the draft, but I won't pause it every time someone leaves the room to "re-boot". The draft is going to take 5-6 hours as it is. I don't want it to turn into a 7-8 hour draft.

Please feel free to PM me with any questions.

Again, I will write my cell phone number on the fantasyauctioner.com draft page for all to write down. Please only call if you're having a major problem. Keep in mind that I'm in this event too.

I'll log on again later to see if there are any questions.

Good Luck everyone and I'll see you tomorrow.

Again, be easy on the rookie(ME).

In going to the site, it appears everyone has registered, but when you look at the slots, there are 3 remaining (actually 4 since Tom is no longer the commish of this league).

The 4 names I don't see are;

Johnny Frisella
Matthew Bayley
Shawn Childs
Wayne Ellis

If you guys already did register, GREAT! If not, please register before 7:00.

Thanks!!

BillyWaz

Looking forward to a VERY entertaining draft!
