backhandfloater Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 I know a lot of people are anxious to get the drafting process over with, so I thought I'd make a suggestion. AOL IM Mobile: http://mobile.aol.com/ So I'm out and about town and get a AIM msg on my phone from Donch sayin' that I'm up. Replied with my pick. Done. It's easy to setup. You can also set "silent" or "do not disturb" hours. And easy to turn it off too. If we all had this setup, the draft would be done in 48 hours.

skoolyardpuck Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 true, but i think this is pretty effective. either that or giving your picks to angryjay or dadonch, which people obviously aren't doing because there's no immediate deadline in place.

matthurray Posted October 29, 2007 Report Share Posted October 29, 2007 have a wish list ready to give to donche... so that when your pick time comes up, there is a person on your list who you will draft. and how about people take some ADHD medication? I'm not going to have a pick ready when I'm away from the computer.. I need to see the entire list of available players and all of their attributes. So I don't think people will buy into it.

thegr8199 Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 I dont get it... Logan was just on and he didnt pick? This is the only thing I disagree with, it shouldnt take guys forever to make a pick when they know its their turn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan Posted October 30, 2007 Report Share Posted October 30, 2007 I dont get it... Logan was just on and he didnt pick?This is the only thing I disagree with, it shouldnt take guys forever to make a pick when they know its their turn. I knew it was my turn, but the problem was I didn't have enough time to look through the available players at the time. My computers internet was a POS today.

IceStorm70 Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 whats helping me is I have all the players on excel spreadsheets. I printed them out and mark off players as they're drafted. Then I have an idea whats left as my pick approaches. Gen-ius eh? Some might call it obsessive. I agree though. These players have had the same ratings for 14+ years now. We should have a good idea who we want fairly quickly. BTW, anyone know if Bobby Smith has been picked yet? Peace it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can sort by different ratings and by drafted or undrafted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I don't print mine out, I use the player ratings excel sheet and check them off as they are picked. I just like doing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
