Either works for me.  The 29th for a live draft works as well.

I'm good for the 29th....if you decide to expand the league to 14 teams (usually the max. that can be done), then "cline" would also be interested in participating.

[Shwaz]

Not to exclude anyone but... after 12 teams it's almost impossible to make moves.

[Lucasjj]

I have never done 14. Does anyone else have insight on how difficult is to make moves. I know with baseball, a 14 team usually takes more skill since you have to dive deeper into the pool for players. If this is to be more casual 14 might be to many.

I am an auto draft kind of guy... I like live draft but am unable to set aside the time to do it.

[SMoody84]

Ahh.. The 29th doesn't work for me for Live.. but I'm cool with you guys still going ahead with the draft, I can just rank my guys and let the computer auto-pick for me.

It does matter how many players are competing, due to limited talent, but the way to counteract that is to limit the bench spots. 

Example: 12 team league with 8 bench spots - 204 total positions to fill for the league, 14 team leauge with 5 bench spots - 196 total positions to fill for the league.

Basically you can add 1 team per bench spot and keep everything fair and competitve.

Makes sense to me.

Non-Redneck Westsider,

If this league stays at 12, I'll drop out and you can take my spot. 

And regardless of whether the league stays at 12, you are welcome to join my and my buddy's other league--contact info on the first page of this thread.

[Lucasjj]

OK well I will set it up like that then Non-Redneck Westsider.

Well that makes 14 and our final count unless someone drops.

I will setup the league tonight on Yahoo with 14 teams, and 5 bench spots per team. The draft will be for the 29th at 7:00 PM. If someone cant make it, then they will just need to make sure they have their players ranked for the computer to draft.

Again, if anyone is on this list that doesn't want to be let me know.

Awesome!

[Non-RedNeck Westsider]

Sounds good.  I'm in for the live draft.  Don't forget to post the league info, so we can all sign in.

[Lucasjj]

OK, well i will set it all up tonight and put the information out there for everyone to sign up.

I am 50/50 for the live draft.  If the Axemen win on Saturday, I am headed to Philly for the Rugby Leauge final that weekend.  I can set my team to autodraft if need be.

[Wacca Pilatka]

The live draft time works for me.  Is that just done on Yahoo or is it by conference call or something?

Thanks for setting this up Lucas.
