2014 FGM Entry Draft

[shooter47]

This has been allowed in previous years if they player you want hasnt been selected yet.

Looking back at previous drafts this was allowed when no other picks had been made. Once another pick has been made autopicks can not be changed.

I also believe I can change my pick as long as the player has not been taken (little fuzzy on the rules)... If I'm correct in this, The White Sox would like - 14 Bradley Zimmer OF San Francisco Calif. 3

Not looking to stir anything up, but I think active participation in a draft is a must if you want to avoid having someone give you a player as an auto-pick.  A few years ago, when I was in a similar situation, I was given an auto-pick and told that since I missed the deadline, and another pick had been made, that was my pick--even though the player I wanted had not been picked yet.  It was frustrating because I was subscribed to the thread, yet I did not receive a notification from the board that a pick had been made and that I was up.  Not sure why, but it was really nobody's fault but my own for not checking in to see if I was up in the draft.  This year, I received a PM that I was OTC, so it appears a concerted effort is being made to avoid the aforementioned dilemma.

If we can "make-up picks" at our leisure, then there is no reason for the auto-pick--and without the auto-pick, the draft will become a mess.

NOONE WILL BE ACTIVE WHEN YOU HAVE AN 8HR CLOCK.

I got autopicked after 8hrs in Rd 1! I was on the clock from 846 to 446... You want activity... Then open it up so people can actually pick!

Never seen anything like this
