Are you guys going to use this tread as #1 league, and I'll make another for #2 league? Or should we both make new threads?

We need two new threads.

Definitely...but I wouldn't make them until it's time for the drafts to begin. Everything else could clutter that thread up. Draft threads work best with as little chatter as possible.

What day do you guys want to start the drafts? I was hoping on this coming Monday or Tuesday. Our draft last year took well over a week (and that was after all teams were locked in and ready to roll).

Unfortunately we cant wait much longer for the Suarez, Bale, etc situations to unfold.

True.

I'm good with Monday. What will be the length of the clock each person has to pick?

Any chance we might get a sticky for the draft thread when created?

Well, according to last year's rules, if you drafted a guy that got transfered out of the EPL after the draft...you got one of the first picks in the supplemental draft (any guys who come into the league before the transfer window closes).

So it's a gamble for a guy like Bale. If he stays, you could snag a great pick. If he doesn't (and he's still at Spurs during the draft...unlikely in this case, I think), you pick him and are left with a chance at the best new transfer in...which probably won't be a Bale.

We didnt time it, it was quick as possible. Sometimes picks came in one minute, other times it was a full 24 hours later.

Ideally, there will be two draft threads and two regular season threads. Everything will be separate, but we will definitely help out the second league when needed.

I am good to start on Monday. I just cannot guarantee quickness with my picks. I will randomize tonight before my flight tomorrow morning.

Here is the draft order based on the random website that GeauxColonels gave me:

There were 10 items in your list. Here they are in random order:

1. BleedPurpleGold
2. WarSlamEagle
3. Jumbeauxlaya
4. DB10
5. The Mick
6. Gmorgan4982
7. Wait for It
8. Bobloblaw
9. Vicks Kennel Club
10. Geauxcolonels

I got fricked. Clearly, I did not cheat.

The supplemental draft will be in reverse order. You can jump spots in the supplemental draft by losing a player from the slow draft.

I would say the draft begins Monday morning at 9 am CST, so you guys can waste all day at work.

I think you should randomize again.

Monday is good for me. I'll be in the office on Tuesday and Friday but I can try to sneak online and make picks.

Its really not a huge deal regardless since we don't time anyone. I'll make sure to submit my pick Monday though to kick it off.

I assumed it was like last time where we just let the thread go on until someone picked. I guess we can stipulate a max time allowed. Maybe 24 hours or something.
