POD Fantasy Football Update: Draft Talk Edition

by Sean Yuille on Aug 17, 2009 4:08 AM EDT in Fantasy Football Comment 37 comments

Two of Pride of Detroit's four fantasy football leagues are filled. The second and third overflow leagues are not. As of this post, we have five spots open. The invites have already been sent, so if you haven't already responded, please join the leagues as soon as possible. If they are still unfilled in another day or so, I will put up a "last call" thread before I start to reach out to alternates, as I want to get the draft dates/times setup, which brings me to the main point of this post.

Currently, I don't have a set date or time for any of the leagues' drafts (the ones on FleaFlicker are not final by any means). The reason for that is because I want to give people in the leagues a chance to let me know in advance if there is a certain day or time when they will be busy and unable to attend the draft. I am thinking around the week of August 31 is when these drafts will be held, as that will be late enough in the preseason where an injury hopefully won't happen to a star player. (Plus, I'd like to get this in before college football starts, as I will be busy with that and moving back to Ann Arbor.)

Considering what I just said, leave a comment if there is a specific day or time of day toward the end of the month/first week of September when you will be unavailable to participate in the draft. Also let me know what time of day works best for you, as that will give me a better idea of what time to make the drafts.

IMPORTANT: Make sure to put your league (Main, Overflow 1, Overflow 2, or Overflow 3) in the subject of your comment, as that will allow me to sort through things much faster.

I can't make any guarantees that I won't schedule your draft for a time when you are unavailable, as I have four of them that have to take place, but I will do my best to make sure as many people as possible will be able to participate.

Side note: No drafts will be held on September 3, 4, or 5. The Lions' final preseason game is on 9/3; on 9/4 I will be busy with college-related things; and 9/5 is the start of college football.

Not a fan of Tuesdays

Other than that….I don’t really know what my Labor Day plans are, so I can’t really rule out any other times. Call the time, and I try my darndest to be there.

It's sorta tought for me

Since I’m 12 hours ahead of you guys but I can do it on anyday but your Sundays and Tuesdays. I go to university on those days. I don’t mind what time it is, if I have to get up late at night, I will, no biggie.

Main League

I’m out this week completely as I’m gone every night this week until Sunday. After that, I guess it doesn’t matter to me. The later the better, though.

Overflow 2

Nights and weekends work the best for me. I am getting married on the 5th and will be leaving on a small trip over the next week. I could bring my laptop on my honeymoon but something deep down is telling me that may be a bad idea (but will do it if needed).

Overflow 3

Since I live in CA and work till about 6:30 some days. I would say anytime after 7:00 my time (Would that be 9 or 10 your time?) on weekdays. I forget which time zone Michigan is in now. Anytime Saturdays or Sundays would be ok, but I will not be available Labor day weekend (Sep 4-7).

Sundays all day, weekdays before 3 or after 10. Saturdays wouldn’t work until after 11. But essentially, if I know in advance, I can request it off of work or switch my schedule.

August 20th (doubt you’ll have it that soon), and August 25th. If it’s on a Saturday or Sunday, make sure it’s later.

Other than that, any day is fine.

Those are the days I CAN’T do it.

Draft

I am in overflow 2 and it is going to be hard for me to be there unless u draft between 11 am and 5 pm because the internet cafe doesn’t open here until those times and that is when I would be available. I am available any day though

Any day is good for me, either late (around 11pm), or during the day 2-5 pm. I have football practice from 6AM-12 Noon every weekday so nothing around that time.
