Invite has gone out, and I pushed the draft back 15 minutes per Roy's request.

Keep in mind you can EASILY draft using the Yahoo Phone app, I've done it a few times - I think last year I spent the first 6 rounds drafting from Target and the Dollar Store.

Cool, thank you.

If anyone is FB friends with DB, can they ping him, as I see he's not online, and the fast the better. If we have to delay the draft, better to know in advance than change it at the last second. Again, my bad - you can see why I've pulled back from Mafia...

We have 11 teams. Looking at the first post, it appears... hm

- Rokk - IN --------------The Under-Cabin
- Malakim2099 - IN------Malicious Kims
- Colonial Bob - IN-------Justice for Haromo
- Fredwood - IN----------The Goats Are Back
- Immortal Raven - IN---Vinegar Strokes
- Silver Lantern - IN-----Silver Lanterns
- Kontrol - IN-------------Crooklyn Apocalypse
- Darq - IN----------------Darq Knight
- Loganspeedo - IN-------LS Quick Claws
- Renegade Roy - IN-----WhatWouldBellichickDO
- ERS - IN-----------------ERS Expendables
- Destructo - IN----------???

Hopefully we'll get this worked out.

Yeah we never heard back from Scott, which is funny since he was disappointed he could not play last year. I sent him a PM on this site. I heard back from everyone else or they posted here. Not sure what the issue is with DB other than he's a rookie and we're just gonna have to hold his hand a little bit. I'm sure we'll get through it, but let's do an even # of players.

I think I did it! Can someone confirm? My name should be DestructoBall.

I see your team.

You know the basics? Poke around the league page and feel free to ask any questions.

Yahoo has a handy list of top available players you should be able to see during the draft, DB. You can also check sites like ESPN and FantasyPros for tips/cheat sheets/ etc.

Also, if you have the time today, I'd recommend doing a mock draft for the practice/feel of how it all goes down.

Yeah. We'll lie to you, but feel free to ask. And Roy has good advice. Do a mock if you can. Also ESPN has a number of helpful articles such as Matthew Berry's draft day manifesto.

I'm guessing draft order is going to be randomized pre-draft?

I meant questions more like "how do players score points" not "who is the best QB"

But yes, Roy and I_R give some good advice. I'd especially second doing a mock draft if you have time.

Eh, my pastor did that while I was teaching him to play. We're in a live draft and he keeps asking if he's about to pick a good player. And given that I was picking right after him for half of those picks, it was hard to be objective with him. "No, Brandon Marshall is not a good pick. He's a great pick and I want him."

Just did a couple. Should be ready, can't promise my picks won't be biased. I really love some teams and really despise others. That...could come into play.

Yep. If I remember, Yahoo opens the Draft lobby 30 minutes before start, and its randomized. It's a Snake Draft, so 1-12, 12-1, 1-12...

So first pick will almost surely be one of the top 3 players (currently looking like Brown (WR), Beckham (WR), Julio (WR).... then that person doesn't pick again til pick 24 and 25...

I changed Draft time down to 30 seconds per pick. If someone isn't online, the system will Autopick the best player for you.

Heh, I hadn't relaized this is Year 5 of the Made Members league. Past winners:

2012: Malakim, who won coming in with 1st place season record, Darq at 2nd
2013: Kontrol, who won coming in with 6th place season record, Darq at 2nd (again)
2014: Fredwood, who won coming in with 1st place season record, Raven at 2nd
2015: Silver Lantern, who won coming in with 2nd place seaosn record, Kontrol in 2nd

Of note, Kontrol's amazing comeback win in 2013, his record was 6-7 for the season
