I hope that was ASAP enough, Sweetcell  ;D  I look forward to improving upon last year's draft (Trent Richardson, David Wilson, Lamar Miller).

draft is currently set for Wednesday August 20, at 8:30 pm.  no matter which time we do the draft someone won't be happy, but i'll move the draft if i can make more people happy than with the current time.

do people prefer a lunch-time draft?

I don't have a time preference, however, I'd prefer a date closer to the start of the season. Many ACLs can be torn in a two week gap before the season starts.

good point.  i'll push the date out. 

which is better for folks: last week of august, or the tuesday/wednesday after labor day (season starts that thursday)?

Both Wed 8/20 and Wed 9/3 are good, but the last week of August is bad for me.

End of August is good for me. I'm out of country in Sept. But will put in weekly rosters

8 of 12 managers have renewed - yeehaw!

one of the outstanding 4 is killsaly… is he still around, or has he left the board?  that might be a spot for some fresh meat.

wasn't he the one who got called out for not setting his roster, and he cited having a life and work (presumably a desk job where he sits in front of a computer 40 hours a week) as the reason for not taking 30 seconds out of his life to set his roster?

yeah, i hope he returns.

draft currently set for Wednesday August 27, at 8:30 pm.  a few folks have voiced opinions but no consensus has emerged, that i could detect… speak up now.

so killsally and Walalce have not renewed by the deadline.  so we can either have a league of 10, or admit two newbs.  do we even have 2 people who want to join?

dues are $20.  i'll post my email to the league message board, via a commish's note.

I'm good with 10. Allows flexibiliy with waivers.

Personally I like 12, I think it makes things more interesting. If we could find 2 good fill-ins, I say sign 'em up. I also raised an issue on the league message board that I think could be worth adopting: adding TE to the mix at the flex spot. Why not?

10 makes the waivers more important, but I have no preference.

I always prefer a later draft date.

I'd also be up for upping the ante to ensure people don't bail halfway into the season.

My two cents.

agree with upping the ante.

That night isn't great for me – I'll either be drafting on my phone (let's see how the Yahoo app performs this year) or relying on adjusted pre-draft rankings.

I'm OK with all of the following: (a) 10 or 12 teams; (b) upping the ante, but let's keep it to 2-digits; © making the Flex a RB/WR/TE – would have liked that last year when I had both Gronk and J.Cameron.

i've created a Doodle poll for managers to vote on which evening works best for them, for the draft.

also started a discussion thread about upping the ante… please share your thoughts.

Love,
The Peoples' Commish
