Are you sure you wouldn't rather meet for the draft & then have one of us manually enter the picks? Or is that even possible? Flleek, can you give me a call Tuesday & we'll nail some things down for the draft on Wednesday.

I won't be able to meet as I won't be available to participate in the draft. I have my team set to draft automatically based on my pre-rankings.

This would take FOREVER.

The draft is just over 24 hours away. I'd say it's just better if everyone gets on their home (or work) computers and does it. It's really easy and self-explanatory once you sign-in to your team page.

Sounds good!!!

Draft is @ 6:45? Correct? (You accidentally put 5:45 in your commissioner's message, I think).

I'm not going to be able to be online for the draft (which does take forever), but I pre ranked my players. Is that all I have to do??

Yes, that's all you have to do. I did the same.

And yes, the draft is @ 6:45pm, not 5:45pm. My bad.

And the draft will take approximately an hour or so, if I remember correctly. I usually do automated drafts so don't quote me on that.

can someone explain pre-ranking? if this only takes an hour, i can be online then.

how is order of draft decided?

The_Dude · Post by **The_Dude** » Wed Aug 30, 2006 9:26 am

The draft order is randomly determined by Yahoo approximately 20 minutes or so before the draft.

As for pre-ranking. You rank the players in the order you would want to draft them IF they're available when it's your pick.

For example...if I have, let's say the 3rd pick in the draft, and I pre-rank my players like this:

1. Randy Moss
2. Shaun Alexander
3. Rod Smith
4. Tom Brady
5. Donovan McNabb

...that means when it's my pick, my team will automaticall draft Randy Moss IF he's available. If he's not available, Shaun Alexander will be drafted and if he's not available, Rod Smith would be drafted and so forth.

Make sense?
