Do we have a consensus on a draft date and time?
Not yet. I posted the quote below, but no one responded.
I see a lot of folks saying September 4th would be a good draft date. My only concern with that date is that it's a Friday and likely a work day for most of us. That means that we couldn't draft until probably later in the evening US time. That would be very difficult for our European players in this league who are 6+ hours ahead of us time zone wise. Generally, in the past this league has drafted at like 2:00 in the afternoon to allow for this time difference. Is Jaffa the only European player we have? I was thinking there was a second person in Europe.

I can do this Friday night (9/4/15) if everyone is good with that day/time. We could shoot for 6:00 PM US Central or even go later than that. Other possible times include, Saturday morning (9/5/15), Sunday afternoon (9/6/15), Monday morning (Labor Day 9/7/15), or, at the latest, Tuesday evening (9/8/15). The first NFL game of the season is Thursday night 9/10/15.
 
Friday night or Saturday morning for me. As the weekend progresses I will be less available.
 
Friday at 6pm works or Saturday morning. Sunday is no good for me.

I work another job on Fridays and Saturdays, but I can likely make it work. It'll be difficult at 6 because that's the rush, but I'll do my best. Saturday morning before 10 works even better or Sunday. If the consensus is Friday night at 6, I'll make it work somehow without having to auto draft. I did that last year and ESPN was terrible giving me a handful of kickers, IIRC.
 
Friday works great for me, Saturday morning as long as it's not buttcrack early. I'm on the West Coast and will be going out for birthday shenanigans on Friday, so I'd rather not have to be up at like 6 or 7am. That said, I'm very flexible. I pre-draft rank as much as possible in case of the need to autodraft.
 
Okay, it looks like Friday night is the consensus for everyone that has responded. Let's look at times now. I know I said 6 PM US Central before, but I want to try and be sensitive to everyones schedule since Friday is a work day for many of us. I am open to any time between 6PM and 8:30 PM US Central. This would give some added flexibility to our West coast folks without making it too late for our East coast folks. So, with that being said, how does 8:30 US Central sound to everyone? Is there anyone who can't make that time?
 
Mr. Cake has been absent from MR, which worries me, but I know some of you have talked to him through other means of communication.

I tweeted him and asked him to pop into the thread.

I'll see about setting my alarm, much to MacNut's chagrin I'm sure. ;)
We could ship him to Siberia during the draft and he would still win this thing. :p He is the New England Patriots of fantasy football. :D
 
9:30 should be okay for me. I'll have to do it from my phone, but it should work. I forgot that the only way to draft on an iOS device is through the ESPN app so when I tried it in a browser and it did not work, I thought I'd have to auto draft. ESPN's auto draft is horrible.
 
9:30 ET it is. Now I can leave for the weekend until Saturday morning. No way I'm auto drafting.

Maybe you should consider it since these past few years of making the decisions yourself hasn't really paid off. :eek: Are you letting Jerry Jones help you in the draft room? :p
