The league has been setup. I am direct messaging all the people playing with the link to join and create your team. Let me know if there are any problems.

I have sent the link to everyone. I did it individually, so if you are on list and didn't get it let me know. I could have screwed it up.

Little problem with the draft time. The best time I can get for Sunday the 29th is 5:45. We could probably do it the following Sunday at 7. Let me know what everyone thinks.

5:45 is fine...the next Sunday would be tough for me

Neither works for me. lol. church Sunday afternoon and then the following Sunday I'll be in Colombia. So it doesn't matter to me.

5:45p works for me but the next Sunday doesn't.

Same here - 5:45 works for me.  Later would actually be better, as I have another draft at 4:45.

I am registered

The BeeTees have reported for camp...

Since I may not be able to live draft I am setting up my auto draft.  Question...

In the auto draft does the sytem draft according to position?  meaning... first pick is my highest rank QB... next pick is highest RB... next is highest WR?

Or

if my ranking is 1-14 QB's...15-28 RB's... will the program pick 2 QBs the first two rounds... then 2 RBs the next?

[buckethead]

The former. I see no way of altering that format.

I altered the rankings somewhat, for a draft last year and ended up with a lousy team. I am going to try to make the live draft. I have no schedule conflicts, so it just depends upon my Dear Leader.  

[BridgeTroll]

So the draft order will be... QB, WR, RB, TE, K, DEF?  Everyone drafts a QB... next round we draft WR... next RB... etc?

Just trying to be clear because I have not seen anything on Yahoo...

Same here - 5:45 works for me.  Later would actually be better, as I have another draft at 4:45.

The times I could select were 5:45 or before, or 10:00 and after. I guess that is a popular night for drafting, and their system can only handle so many. I plan on leaving it at the 5:45 time it is now.

"When utilizing the autopick system, our computer system will make intelligent choices for you. This will happen if you signed up for an Autopick Draft or are not present for all or part of your Live Draft.

The autopick system looks at both a player's position and ranking before making a selection. The computer looks to see which starting positions you need to fill, then selects the highest-rated playerâ€"based on either our default ranking or your own custom player rankingâ€"to fill one of those positions.

It is not possible to set a specific number of players to receive for each position, or to set which position will be selected in each round."

If you don't know how to set it up, I would leave the Yahoo Rankings as is.  No system takes into account the player's position, only thier ranking.  FYI - be sure to remove your kickers from the rankings list, and only leave the defenses in that you want. 

[buckethead]

According to Lucas, this systems considers position. I must assume it does so by seeing which positions are filled. I can see how it could be done if I were to use MS Excel. If pick one and two were RBs and my highest ranked player remaining on the board was also an RB during my 3rd pick, default to the next highest ranked player that is not an RB.
