I may or may not be able to make the draft. I have an obligation at 4. My vote would be for 30 seconds though. You should have an idea on who to take when it’s your turn.Quincy Varnish wrote: ↑08 Mar 2024 14:41 pmHas there been a post with 14 different users quoted in the history of CT? The whole forum?

Why are people saying yes to a fantasy league with a live draft and then not going to draft?sdaltons wrote: ↑08 Mar 2024 15:17 pmThat's fair. How will I know if I want to select a player until I see how he performs for the next 2 years?
"We're still trying to see what we have"
But my real answer is 30-45 seconds. Though I'm not sure I'll be able to make it, either, so feel free to put more weight on votes from guys actually showing up.
Agreed, but we a have some who may not be that familiar with live draft mechanics, specifically with Yahoo.Boooyah wrote: ↑08 Mar 2024 15:09 pmI may or may not be able to make the draft.

I’m not sure we could ever get 15 people all committed to be there live, w/o money on the line.

It’s not mandatory, but highly suggested. It definitely shouldn’t take 3 hours… doubtful it would, even if I left the clock at 1 minute.sdaltons wrote: ↑08 Mar 2024 15:31 pmI did not see the time/date of the draft when I expressed interest and do not recall participation in the draft being stated as a requirement to join the league. Dedicating 3 hours in the middle of a Sunday afternoon will not sit well with my wife who considers Sunday family day for us and our three young children. If I was asked whether this time would work for me and I missed it, I do apologize.An Old Friend wrote: ↑08 Mar 2024 15:20 pmWhy are people saying yes to a fantasy league with a live draft and then not going to draft?sdaltons wrote: ↑08 Mar 2024 15:17 pmThat's fair.

If this is a problem, feel free to give my spot to someone else.
Interesting. In that case, do whatever works best for you. My experiences with auto-pick have been frustrating b/c I always end up with numerous players I’d never want.sdaltons wrote: ↑08 Mar 2024 15:42 pmI have a long history of participation in yahoo fantasy leagues and this one will be no different. I have come to dislike the live draft part because I tend to let my biases about a certain player cloud my judgment. But I understand where you are coming from.Quincy Varnish wrote: ↑08 Mar 2024 15:36 pmIt’s not mandatory, but highly suggested.

We just hope that everyone remains active. If you make the draft, you’ll end up with a better team and be less likely to disappear.
If you can set aside an hour for the early rounds and duck out whenever you need to… there’s nothing wrong w/ that.
In any case, it would be the later part of the draft where I may have a conflict so I will try to be around for the early stages.
Things come up. I don’t think a date and time was set when I agreed to join. If it was, I didn’t realize it conflicted with my schedule. I’ll set my pre-draft rankings.An Old Friend wrote: ↑08 Mar 2024 15:20 pmWhy are people saying yes to a fantasy league with a live draft and then not going to draft?sdaltons wrote: ↑08 Mar 2024 15:17 pmThat's fair.

Try laptop/desktop. You can move players up/down your draft queue and specify certain players not to draft. It’s been a while since I’ve done it, but I think the default rankings are their ‘expert’ rankings which you can copy over.Dazepster wrote: ↑08 Mar 2024 16:41 pm A minute.
Still like to shuffle papers. Lol
P.S. Maybe i am missing something but where can you rank your draft choices pre-draft on the site?
Have used Yahoo in past for drafts but doesn't look remotely like I recall.
P.S.S. Using on my phone..maybe I need to migrate to a laptop or desktop?

Yes, but not predetermined beforehand. There is a way I can adjust the clock, mid-draft… but TBH, I’m not entirely sure how. Haven’t done this in several years, and I don’t believe it was an option back then. I also don’t know how well Yahoo will inform participants of the change, so I think *for now* we should arrive on a single time period.Cool Papa Con wrote: ↑08 Mar 2024 17:56 pmHISTORY, BABY!Quincy Varnish wrote: ↑08 Mar 2024 14:41 pm

Does a potential exist to stagger it? Like 1 minute for the first 5 Rounds, 45 Seconds for the next 10 rounds, then some lighting rounds to wrap it?
I’m voting C. 30 seconds, for all of it btw.
