Should We Pick Some Draft Spots?

Post by Greg Ambrosius » Tue Aug 24, 2004 12:53 pm

I knew that thread would get your attention! :D :D

Seriously, it looks like Gordon's Invitational has 14 owners who are all set with payment. I think Tom and I will pick the draft order tomorrow morning and let you guys have some fun talking about your draft strategies. That should give everyone a fun thread to watch.

We also have 14 owners in the Las Vegas Auction League and I just don't think we'll fill up another full league at this point. We can keep those 14 owners in that league if it's okay with everyone there and pick the order of calling out players. It's not the same as a draft order, but at least everyone will know who they're sitting next to and who will be able to call out the first couple of players. Remember that in the Auction Leagues we announce picks 1 through 14 and then go back 1 to 14 again. These are not serpentine "selections" if you will to throw out players for bidding.

We also have 12 spots filled for the Las Vegas Auction League and 11 filled for the New York Auction League (Hammer, you would make 12). Let's fill those last spots and we'll announce the draft picks for those leagues and close them out as well.

C'mon, nothing gets the talk going faster than announcing draft picks. If we can fill those two leagues up, we'll get those draft orders selected. We're still working on the New York Draft Masters League (c'mon, what's up out there?), Chicago Draft Masters (we have 6!!) and Chicago Auction League (we have 7). Thanks everyone and let's get it done.

Can't pull the names out of a hat because I'm the only one in the office. Tom is working from home. I'd make the selections, but I'd never hear the end of it from you guys since I didn't have a witness (except for God, of course). So Tom and I will do it tomorrow morning and announce it online. That should start the fun.

Gordon, give me the official list of the 14 guys tonight and I'll have the slips of paper ready for selection. I should get my nine-year-old girl to do that again as she felt pretty special when she did that in baseball and everyone around here was watching her!!! Gotta do that.

Greg, since Chicago is only 1 time zone away, I hope you'll work on the logistics of a combined league for the Draft Masters.

I see Gordon has a prime draft position, how convenient. Did you make sure all the chads were counted???? I see I got 12, interesting. lol


edited: is that the draft order or just participants?
