Sheffield Sabres

My net over the summer is limited until august, I would prefer a live draft like last year as late as possible!

Edited to add i think running the draft over the summer is a bad idea. Your relying on 16 people to have constant internet acces every day for a period of two months. What about house moves/holidays/time spent in the middle of F%^&ing nowhere.

get with the times and invest in a blackberry

i think more people are going to be able to make more important picks, i.e. first few rounds, if we do an offline one. If you know you're not going to be able to get on the net, text someone your preference or e-mail us your rankings or just tell us to draft off of espns order

Having decided to get my arse in gear and sort out my keepers etc. i now can't find the link to get into the league pages, can someone post the details here?

keepers expired on the 1st.

have we decided what we are doing re draft??? Team Luke is on the clock although they have no manager right now....

so what are we doing? there I was giving League Managers Status to a couple of peeps who claim to be more organised than me and where has it got us?????

Yeah fair point, looks like we're gonna be doing the live draft thing again. Although if enough people can make it I'd be happy to hold a draft party at mine and do it face-to-face, that'd be cool, and the people who couldn't do it could join in on msn or send in pre draft rankings??

i propose either the 14th/15th or the 22nd/23rd weekends for a live draft...at geens..with a game of pitch and putt at graves park as a warm up/sink a few beers

I should be able to do either of them but only on the Sunday evenings of each weekend if that was doable?

With regards timings. For Jake to get involved online, midday is a sensible shout.

In that case can we do a later weekend? What's wrong with the 29th? (30th depends on Rams playoff progress someone correct me if I'm wrong)

How many people can't do 29th midday?

I should be good for the 29th.

Possibly ok for 29th. If not, my auto picked team was ok last year.

il be online, cant do the saturday, can do anytime sunday

Hey guys.

Just a reminder that the draft is this saturday 12pm.

Set your alarms!

I'm going to Portman Road around 1ish to watch Town play some more awful football but I'll get the good bit of the draft done!

Good work team.

After the initial problems regarding Keepergate, everyone's managed to assemble a pretty good team.

15 of the 16 players took some part in the draft, which took place over 3 time zones of 13 hours difference.

I am so glad I deemed most of my team too rubbish to be kept, and so couldn't be bothered.

I'm installing myself as the early favourite, as I plan to actually do something with my team this year. I'm genuinely embarassed for the teams that finished below me last season.

being the early favourite seems to have affected your teams nerves....
