Draft Discussion
« on: November 08, 2014, 02:05:53 PM »
Someone should be sending draft notifications to the league. There shouldn't be all these skipped picks going on in the first-round.

I have not received a single pick-notice since we began and it seems obvious that neither is anyone else and thus, all the "skipped picks".

Why isn't this happening?

Red Sox autopick Tyler Beede.

How did the Red Sox get two picks in the same round?

We don't need to send 1,200 PM's to the entire league regarding every pick.  We didn't do it last year and it worked out just fine.

The date of the draft has been posted for some time and a PM alerting the league was sent out.  If an owner can't be bothered to check the board once a week then we probably need to find a new owner for that team. 

Please don't post your comments or questions in the draft thread.  Thanks.

Every other league sends out notifications after every pick. No reason why this league can't. Not everyone can live on the website. Let's play a gentleman's game.

If people are notified it's their turn and still don't pick, then so be it, but let's at least give everyone that chance. It doesn't take but a few clicks on the keyboard to do so.

I'm in several leagues that don't send out notifications after every pick so you're quite obviously wrong.

Checking this site once a week doesn't constitute living on this site but you're free to PM every owner after every pick through round forty if you like.  Just don't PM me though, I'm good.

Their probably your own leagues, but the other two you are in along with myself, both send out notifications and all 5 leagues I play indo as well.

I'm also quite sure I'm not the only one who would like to be notified when it's their turn to pick.

I'm sure everyone will be happy to leave you off the list.

Geez. Welcome back to the league. I'd like notifications for those doing so. Will get :NYM: up to speed this afternoon. Been touring England this week watching the Cowboys stomp the jags.

Chris, I never meant for you to be the one to send all the notifications. I was thinking of a "next man up" system where after each person picks, they send a PM to the next person on the list.

That shouldn't be problem for you, should it?

17) :ATL: Atlanta Braves (via :NYM:) - Justus Sheffield, P autopick

The 2.17 pick of mine was given to the Braves incorrectly.  If you check our rosters, you'll see that the ATL-NYM traded picks were 2015, not 2014.

  • Daddy: Looks like its ready but the SS isnt finished and we cant do transactions till we finish.
    May 21, 2024, 10:04:25 PM
  • Daddy: Its not like the others. Its got NHL/AHL and formulas need perfected.
    May 21, 2024, 10:04:56 PM
  • Daddy: A lot of LIVE GMs came after i had won in football and built a monster in baseball. Many of you weren't there for the start. Like STLBlues. Like Braves. So you talk smack to the old Man (me).
    May 21, 2024, 10:09:00 PM
  • Daddy: I cannot wait to start these virgin leagues. So that (you too BAB) can get your deserved foots from day one. :)

  • Brent: I don't know Hockey, but NHL Live sounds good.  I probably shouldn't have left FGM as I have a little more time than I thought after leaving a bunch of other leagues.
    May 21, 2024, 10:38:24 PM
  • STLBlues91: Think there are 3 more teams left until NHL gets filled up
    May 21, 2024, 10:40:10 PM
  • Daddy: Four (4) NY Islanders >> Nashville Predators >> Ottawa Senators >> LA Kings
    May 21, 2024, 10:50:47 PM
  • Daddy: They each had owners who uncommitted two of them went to other sites to try to copy the concept. Problem is no Daddy, no staff,  no LIVE.
    May 21, 2024, 10:52:54 PM
  • Daddy: Nobody on Earth does hockey like we are about to do it. Its a shame 28 teams are gone without most of the true profsl hockey guys signing up. That's a huge loss. For them.
    May 21, 2024, 10:54:45 PM
  • Daddy: If you love hockey and you love dynasty and you arent in LIVE than you must hate me or competition more than you love the others. Which is petty & not worth our efforts anyway.
    May 21, 2024, 10:56:10 PM
  • Daddy: NHL LIVE Spreadsheet [link] should be available to be seen.
    May 21, 2024, 11:35:31 PM
  • Daddy: @Brent we sincerely hope that you do join as a HOF level dynasty GM. The rules and a lot of format carry over from one LIVE league to another.
    May 21, 2024, 11:56:46 PM
  • Daddy: We believe that even if you don't know a sport well, we provide the material, and enough guidance advice that any disadvantages are minimized. Hockey is one of the greatest sports of all time.
