AFC - CFFFL Discussion

Shockey, Rod Smith, Moulds, Akers, and Benson just came off the board. CSD is on the clock.

Diomedes · August 05, 2005, 10:29:39 PM

I updated the draft thread so we can just finish up all in one thread.

Mad, you're on the clock.

QuoteEarlier, Jets safety Kerry Rhodes hit Giants wideout Willie Ponder on a route over the middle, forcing Ponder to leave the practice early with bruised ribs.

Dang it, my second round selection is already hurt

I was expecting big things from Ponder this year

Sarge just made his two picks ten hours late, and I don't have a master list for him. Do I give him two zesty players and dock him two hours for missing his rounds? Or just one? My rules don't cover what happens when someone on one of the ends blows his deadline.

So okay, I give up. farg the rules, farg this stupid draft. I'm not getting paid to run this goddamned thing. I've spent the last week plus of my life constantly updating, tracking all your lists and requests and doing every farging thing I can to run this fairly and expeditiously, but it just won't end. I'm sick of it. It's a drag to enforce the rules, and it's a drag not to enforce them. I'm so frustrated.

So here it is:
Sarge keeps his picks, because he sent lists early on when it mattered most.

From here on out the rules change in a big way, so pay attention: the draft is now suspended until tomorrow night. No more selections. You have until 6:00 p.m. tomorrow (8/8/05) to send me lists. Send whatever kind you want, I don't care. I'll do my best with whatever you send. I'll finish the draft up tomorrow night offline from your lists, or picking on your behalf if you don't send one (or if your list runs out,) and post all the results.

If you don't like it, you can farg off.

Next year, the CFFFL AFC will be drafted live.

Thanks for all the work, Dio. I agree there needs to be a new way to draft next year. This shtein dragging on for weeks is ridiculous.

Diomedes · August 07, 2005, 09:46:40 PM

I'm sorry to be so bitchy, but I've had enough. We're late enough in the draft so we can just end this. Get your lists in, everyone.

Sgt PSN · August 07, 2005, 10:38:31 PM

My bad on being so late with the picks. Had some technical difficulties on my end with my computer earlier today and hadn't sent a list in before hand. If you want to cancel my picks out and give me two of your zesty choices, that's fine with me. When I finally got online and saw that I was up, I just went and made my picks.

WTF??? Can't he be forced into a trade for at least Ron Dayne? He was afterall a 2nd round pick this year!

Diomedes · August 08, 2005, 11:31:12 PM

Alright, y'all. I bit off more than I could chew in one night. I made it throug the 15th round, and the results are posted. I will also post team lists tonight before going to bed. If you want to update your lists, please do. I'll finish up tomorrow night.

If you see any errors let me know.

I haven't yet updated the "players taken" posts yet, I'm sorry.

Diomedes · August 14, 2005, 03:37:48 PM

FYI...I'll be loading the teams into Yahoo next weekend. Prolly Sat. morning.

Thanks for all the hard work Dio

Diomedes · August 20, 2005, 11:51:59 AM

Yahoo is loaded with the teams. Please check out your team to make sure I haven't made an error.

I locked all teams for trades, add/drops, and roster changes. At noon tomorrow (Sunday, August 21st) I will unlock everything. I locked the teams for two reasons:
1.) This should give everyone a chance to review their team before we go live. If I made an error, I will be able to correct it without the complication of people having already made add/drops by the time I try to correct the mistake.
2.) Some of you are likely champing at the bit to get onto the site and add/drop players. I want everyone to have some notice when that will be, so everyone has an equal shot at getting in early and often.

Sgt PSN · August 20, 2005, 11:57:02 AM

Hey Dio, good idea of giving notice to everyone on when we can add/drop players. But in the interest of fairness, I know we have a player or two who have limited/no internet access on the weekend. To avoid any hard feelings maybe you could wait until Monday to officially "open" the league. Or not since I know you don't care about feelings.

Sure, we can push it to Monday.

Teams will be unlocked Monday, August 22nd at Noon (or as close to it as work will allow).
