The main reason the 24 hour clock sounds appealing is that getting 14 guys together 6-7 different times (even over the course of 6 months) will be challenging. There will be guys on vacation, out of town, working.... I can just see this being a major challenge whereas the 24 hour clock will help take care of trying to get us all together at the same time so many different times.

Wayne I am sorry, but I am not sure if I can make it for the exact reasons listed above. That is 7 different Sundays to be in one place at one time. I may need to bow out, as I cannot guarantee to be in one place for 7 different Sundays over the next 6 months.

You must really be busy.

I don't get it. I work out of a planner and looking ahead I don't see a single meeting on any of those days...no birthdays...graduations etc...so I just block off an hour for a draft.

This group would be great in congress.

Seriously...if you all want a 24 hour slow draft then set it up and I'll still participate. Someone has to be willing to cooperate so I guess I'll give in.

At least now I know why nobody has done this before :rolleyes:

As I told you yesterday Jeff, I am good with whatever you decide.

I have no problem with the format, Route C and I appreciate that you set it up. Feel free to keep it as you would like it. It was my fault for not closely reading the format. I will stay in, I was just concerned if something comes up over one of the 7 weekends, but I guess that is why I have a laptop and nationwide internet.

Okay, guys, I'm a little hung over this morning, but it seems like we got things worked out. I didn't read all previous 6 pages but the seniment seems to be to begin after the SuperBowl...

So, do we start on Sunday the 8th? Or Sunday the 15th?

Guys...I've been e-mailing Greg today. He's waiting to get a confirmation from Geoff at MDC that they are ready to do this.

I'll let him release the details but it looks like we will do the 24 hour slow draft through MDC.

I still want to do a "rookie pick" rather than naming the actual rookie. Other than an extra element of maintainance this is a benefit that has no negatives to all drafters.

I asked Greg if we can start the week after the SB and he's trying to arrange it.

So if everyone is good with this we should submit our KDS choices ASAP.

Greg can let us know if he wants them sent to him or Tom.

Anything else?

Anything else? Thanks. Just remember one guy may pick in 5 mins., the next guy may take 12 hours. It will get done, I have one idea, after you make your pick post it here. So the next guy knows he's up and not too much time goes by. Something like this

Raiders made 1.10 pick next pick up is Route C with pick 1.11.

Thanks again Route C,

John
