FYI - As of right now, I don't see any "upcoming" drafts for me either on the MDC site. I don't draft till Monday night, but I assume if they were going to enter the 14 for Sunday they would enter the 14 for Monday at teh same time.

Yeah, late breaking news on this one. Jason just e-mailed me and said they had a server problem today and he wasn't able to get out the invites. In fact, he's afraid MDC will be down all day tomorrow. Bummer. I've e-mailed Dyv and will contact him tomorrow morning for a contingency plan. Maybe we do this on Yahoo. Everyone stay ready for a last minute lineup change or an outright change of plans. Bummer, but technical problems happen.

Good luck Jason on the tech problem. Glad that didn't happen during our satellite leagues!

Did all of those satellite leagues crash Jason's server? Hmmm...

I'll second UFS's idea -- a conference call would be fine by me.

Let me catch up on options. I'm not opposed to a conference call... let me consult with Greg in the AM and we'll put out a final ruling by mid day and then contact everyone directly.

Walla, I'm very sorry - I had no intention of depriving you of the opportunity to play. Would you like us to find a surrogate to draft for you or would you rather drop out?

If Walla drops out, can I have the #1 pick?

Dave I've done IM drafts before, very easy, don't think I could draft on a cell phone for 3 hours though.

Dave, Shawn Childs will be drafting for me. I'll make my one and only pick now. 1st pick Thomlinson. Yeah I know I'm passing on Alexander. Someone has to take a chance.

I have an 800-number teleconference room where I could easily patch everyone into tonight and I bet we'd be done in 90 minutes. As long as Dyv or someone else tracks each pick on an Excel document, we can do it. It's either that or a Yahoo draft room for tonight and hopefully the Monday night draft will have access to MDC.

Dyv's call. Or we postpone the LBS vs. World matchup to a later date!
