Are we gonna get the link to the Draft-O-Matic as the draft opens or sometime before?

Sorry if it's already posted somewhere and I missed it.

[Suicane]

We'll get a link up as soon as VPI has it ready to go.
If anyone is unfamiliar with using it or has any questions, please ask.
Cringer will be home later tonight, he can help you, I can help you, Jeff, Roadroash can help. Pretty much there won't be alot of leeway between the time it goes up and the time we start using it, but there should always be someone around to help if you have any questions.

this will be my first time using the Draft-O-Matic but i can't imagine it being all that complex. I will let someone know if i need help.

It is pretty easy to use .. .but since your Cleveland. . you may have a problem with it

[Cringer]

Yikes. Well, I had hoped the utility would be up today at the latest so guys who had never used it could check it out and mess around with it a bit.



I am not sure if we should just go with a straight board draft now. Sunday starts with a board draft anyways, and since I have no idea if VPI will be able to get it loaded up Monday.......

Well, maybe Suicane has heard something I do not know about yet.

Stay tuned.

So will we be using the draft utility and if so where do we sign in? If not, I'm assuming we just follow the draft board? My AIM information is in my profile if you prefer to contact me though that. Thanks!

This needs to be posted here for everyone. Right now the utility is not up. When it is up it is clear to see on the message board, as there is a section added to the top of the General section when you are in it, that shows the current pick and stuff.

I am not sure why we do not have the utility up. VPI does it, and he does it out of just being a good guy who is willing to help some other leagues by letting them use it. Suicane, nor I, have heard from him. I am not sure what is going on here, but I will just assume VPI has his reason. He was also to put up the utility for the USFL and I do not see it up there yet either.

IF he finds the time to get it up Monday, then I guess we will use it. But as of right now expect to do the whole draft on the board, because at some point I have to set a cutoff for using/not using the Draft-O-Matic, and Monday is my cut off.

Look, I just want to say i am sorry for this guys. I don't have much control over this thing, but I figured it would be up and ready to use. My bad for proceeding like it was a certian thing.

Anyways, we can do a board draft, we have plenty of time for it. If you want to start making lists which I encourage, please do so. Get them in to myself for right now until I leave for work tomorrow. They can also go to Suicane, roadrash, and Matt. Best that you do not send them to only one guys.....

Don't worry about it.. having the utility is just a bonus if it is here. The first year we drafted on theboard and it went well, and pretty fast. The utility just makes the draft a bit prettier, no big deal if it is not there. just have to do it the old fashioned way.

I agree

Agreed as well.

The draft is one of the highlites of the season - everybody's team gets better. If there was any problem with the draft-O-Matic it was that the draft went TOO smooth and fast. Board draft with drclining time limits soounds fine too me.
