June 26th $175 Auction DC

Post by Diesel » Wed Jun 25, 2008 4:57 am

Everyone should have their email from George Del Prado saying the league is set up for tomorrow.

I haven't gotten a single PM from anyone here saying that they've ever had a problem with fantasyauctioneer.com's drafts, so I'm going to assume that we'll have an error free draft tomorrow.

I suggest everyone uses firefox browser to draft, and George Del Prado has stated that Trend Micro causes severe lag on the software, so you will either have to turn it off for the auction or use a different computer.

*Please note those two suggestions.

I set the clock to 55 seconds to put a player up for bid...Then the clock goes to 10 seconds, when it says "going once...etc.". This should help for an easy, smooth draft.

Before the draft, I'll post my phone number to everyone in the draftroom. Please only call if there's a problem...It's going to be a lot of work for a long time doing this auction AND moderating it.

Any questions, PM me.

Marc Thanks Marc. And I can say fairly confidently you will either win your Brady bet or I'll have Brady on my roster. Maybe both. ;)

[/QUOTE]I hope so. $44 for Brady is nutso unless he duplicates '07.

Talk about a major handcuffing! Hell, I may just nominate him $40, so I lose the bet right away! :D

Guys, I want to thank you for allowing me to have $400 against your $208 tonight. That was very generous for awarding me for moderating. I'll try and take it easy on all of you.

5 hours and 42 minutes to draft time.

If I had $400, I WOULD pay $60 for him...

4 Hours and 52 minutes. Not that I'm counting.
