Joined! I'm "The Hulkamaniacs", and if possible, if we could do the draft Sunday the 28th, that'd be better for me, as I play pick up basketball on Monday nights.

Alright, some updates:
- So far, 7 out of 9 people have signed up; including me.
- Disabled the Can't Cut List
- Since nobody seemed to protest against Ami's suggestion, the scoring has been changed to Head-To-Head
- Playoff Weeks: Weeks 22,23,24 (6 teams)
- Up for discussion: add either/all of the following to the stat categories - FG Made, FT Made, 3PT Made. As it currently stands, as far as these categories go, the percentages are included in the stat categories. I was debating adding the "made" stat too. Preferences?
I would say just add 3pt made. As far as H2H, sounds good, but I remember having issues with an odd number of teams one year, where we almost were unable to start the league.

just registered...would it be possible to change the draft date to 10pm on the 30th? i have a test on the 30th in the morning lol
So, we've got all 9 guys signed up now. Hoping we'll get some more before draft day.
As for the stat categories, I've added FG Made, 3PT Made.
As for draft day..
Bohizzle, the latest time a live draft is possible on a weekend (ie Sunday the 28th which you suggested) is something like 4pm or 5pm. I'm guessing most of us will be busy during the day on the weekend, so I figured a weeknight would be the best time. (Does your basketball game finish that late? You might miss the first few picks but can likely catch the rest of it.)
trulankan, doing the draft past the 29th causes us to miss Week 1 of the fantasy league, which I was trying to avoid if possible. (Maybe you could use this as a break from studying? )
Just a reminder for some of you that may be new to this:
You don't necessarily have to be present at the live draft (it's not like you won't be part of the league anymore or anything). It will automatically draft players for you according to Yahoo's algorithm, or if you prefer you can manually edit your picks so that it automatically drafts the players you select as part of your list, based on availability of course.
Just putting this out there since it might be hard to get a date/time when every one of us is free. Ideally would like to pick one where most if not all of us are free of course.
Sounds good. I'll only get home at like 11, but I'll just select my players before hand. I just find I always get an unbalanced team when I'm not there to pick, especially with so much specialization (ie. PG,SG,G).
I didn't realize the last time for weekend drafts was earlier, but because it is so early, I realize most people won't be able to make it for that time.
I'd say keep at the regular time/date and whoever's able to show up, shows up.

lol alright, sounds good guys. So draft stands at Mon Oct 29 9:00pm.
Let's try to grab one more person.
Well, unfortunately the Masiv Monday meet is clashing with our draft time. At least 3 of the 9 people listed here are probably going to be going (I know Ami and myself will be there; from past meets I'm guessing trulankan will too). Not sure how you guys want to go about this. If we can grab a 10th person soon, maybe we can pre-pone the draft to a weeknight this week? Depending on the others attending the meet as well, I don't mind missing out on the live draft if the current date suits everyone.
I don't mind if it is moved to another time even though im not attending this event, Maybe Sunday night is good time to do it? at like 9ish
I'm good with 9 on Monday still. Even if you want we can push it until 9:30 maybe so we have time coming home from MASIV
edit: i wont be staying to long this time as I have a test the next morning so 10pm or later is good

Alright, well I see two choices here:
If we can grab a 10th soon, we can do it sometime this week (around 9pm?)
Otherwise, it looks like most of you are okay with still having it on the Monday but later. The latest draft time possible on that day is 10:45pm, close enough to the 11pm you guys were discussing. Let me know if this would suit you guys (we can also do 10:30pm, 10:15pm, etc)
If we chose this option, I probably won't be able to make the live draft. Likely going to have to get up around 5am for work that week, so 9:30pm or 9:45pm would probably be the latest draft time I could do. But since it seems like a later time suits more of you, I have no issues whatsoever with sitting the draft out. Don't wanna be a party-pooper lol.
Best solution is to find a 10th ASAP
