Draft Fantasy Football

[Phil Collins]

Considering im coming up from London I'd say its relatively normal. More swayed by OOS being on as well.

Should probably start preparing notes.

[Graham.]

Yeah, I'd like to go to OOS but I think I've committed to going to fringe stuff that night.

[Byronchenko]

For the Carlisle Draft, the Team Yaya guy is on holiday so he's providing a full player list (like setting an NFL Fantasy Draft order) so he can still do the season. Just a possibility in case we're struggling for a tenth, obviously someone needs to read out their list though.

[Shoddyrob]

If it comes to having to do anything like that aren't we best just doing it online like last season so we can do it properly?

Last I knew Ross might not be around but I think Arwell had another person or two in mind

[Byronchenko]

We looking good for numbers/is this definitely happening?

Can we have a cut off on the database being updated so that prep/research can be done properly?

[Danph]

yeah, we really need to figure out numbers in the next few days, so we can do the draft order and everything.

so the people that are in are:
dan
arwell
byron
jack
rob
alex
ben

graham, are you coming down for it?

so we need at least one more person to take it to 8, but it'd be better if we could make it 10.

[Danph]

obviously we only need one extra if graham isn't in... rich--m might be in though, so if both of them are in we'd need another.

if there are only 8 people though, we should add an extra bit of randomness and fun, like in the league. and do it so that the draw is for lane numbers in the 200m final or something, and then the finish order is the draft order.

[Shoddyrob]

I saw Ben last night and I don't think he's 100%

[Phil Collins]

Booking my travel today, got tied up with a few things last week so getting round to it now. Main question is how much would a cab set me back from the Brudenell to Kirkgate for the coach? Main thinking now is just to head back to London straight after Juvi.

[Arwell]

Why not just stay? A coach back at that time of not would be awful

Doing my prep today. Gonna be a good day

[Phil Collins]

Is Ross in? I just remembered he's offered me the chance to crash at his but I'd feel bad if he wasn't about for the day.

[Arwell]

Ross who? Just stay at mine, I'm sure I said earlier in the thread anyone can stay at mine if needed

[Phil Collins]

Davison. Staying at yours sounds like a plan I guess. My coach will get into Kirkgate at 12:30, thats the earliest I can get in.

[Jack]

You're welcome to crash at mine too

[leighm13]

When are we thinking about doing the online one?

[Danph]

cut off for the database, thursday afternoon? i'll print off a list of all the players on the database at that point, then if they're not on it, you can't draft them?

[Benchini]

Thursday this week or next week?

[Danph]

sorry, i meant for the draft in person, so thursday this week. i've got no idea what's going on with the draft online, arwell was sorting that out i think.

[Phil Collins]

Can we get one of these? It'd be great http://draftkits.cbscollegestore.com/st ... m?store_id

[Danph]

my home made draft kit will consist of an A0 sheet tracking the draft, a couple of post it note pads, a couple of marker pens, and 8 copies (or 10 if we get 10) of the complete list of every available player.

so we'll stick the draft sheet up on the wall (assuming ross is alright with us doing that), then as each person drafts, they'll write the name on a post it note and stick it on the sheet at their draft number. the player lists will just be so that everyone knows who is actually available. i can put some stats on that sheet if people would like as well, like have their name, position, team, price, points last season? just in case you need to do some last minute scouting.

i'm doing some serious prep today, even going so far as to look at who's playing in friendlies.

[Phil Collins]

Might be worth bringing back the GGS emails already.

Can't wait for this now, bloody love drafting.

[Arwell]

I was gonna send out an email today from admin@gotgotswap.com but it doesn't exist anymore as I no longer own gotgotswap.com . Might have to see how much I can buy it back for

[Danph]

right, we're going for my brilliant idea for the 200m final, as long as no one has any serious objections in the next hour or so?

arwell is going to do the draw at 3pm.

[Arwell]

Had to be a big time business boy and go to a meeting. I'll do the draw at 5pm and can stream it if necessary

[Phil Collins]

A stream would be delightful.
