What do you guys think of holding it in this thread itself? We can have 12 hour window between picks or something and get it done over the next week.

Fine by me but I doubt we could get an offline draft done between this and Thursday noon tbh.

Maybe 5pm UK time on Sunday 1st of September could work for everyone? If we don't settle on a date today, I'd say let's try and start a draft in this thread ASAP and make sure everyone makes himself free for an hour or so on Wednesday night next week if we see that we're not making it otherwise.

I assume it's (0.5) PPR with 1QB, 2RB, 2WR, 1TE, 1FLEX, 1K, 1D/ST line-up and six bench spots? That would require 15 rounds.

That could take fecking weeks. Lets put a poll up. Most popular draft date wins.

7pm or 8pm UK time each night between now and Wednesday 4th?

The later the better for me if it's during evenings but not sure about the others.
 
Sunday I'm busy all day until about 6pm. Anytime after that is fine. Saturday I should be okay at any point in the day. Next week I'm at work till 6pm every day so would need to be from 6 30ish earliest for me if it's one day next week.
 
So we are back to square one again. Some are free on Sunday only after 6 while some are free before that.

Is everyone alright with it being on a weekday evening UK time? Will probably mean mid afternoon for anyone in the US.

Else we will just have to pick the most suitable time for the majority and the ones who can't join in can set up their picks using the Pre-draft list.
 
Right now we have 12 members so 12 teams.

Was thinking of a (1.0) PPR format with standard scoring rules and roster.

1 QB
2 RB
2 WR
1 TE
1 Flex
1 D/ST
1 K

and 6 bench spots.

Let’s just make a poll for Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday 8pm UK time, and close voting Friday night (or after everyone has voted obviously)?

What is the best time to hold the draft?

August 31st Saturday 6:00 PM UK time
September 1st Sunday 1:00 PM UK time
September 1st Sunday 8:00 PM UK time
September 2nd Monday 8 PM UK time
September 3rd Tuesday 8 PM UK time
September 4th Wednesday 8 PM UK time
 
Guys please vote and also PM your email address so I can send the league invite.
 
I voted for all of them apart from Sunday. Zero chance I can do Sunday at 1pm as I'm out getting measured for a suit for my best mates wedding around that time. All of the others work well for me.
 
I'm good for any time and date as long as I can draft on my phone. The poll is so split though :lol:
 
I can do any of the options apart from 8pm Sunday night. If it gets delayed until 9:30pm or so, I think I might be available, but no way I’m near a phone or laptop before 9pm.
 
So, I think everyone has voted. Results:

August 31st Saturday 6:00 PM UK time | 4 vote(s) 30.8% Edgar Allan Pillow, Eboue, JP77, RobinLFC

September 1st Sunday 1:00 PM UK time | 4 vote(s) 30.8% Mighty Boosh, Edgar Allan Pillow, Eboue, RobinLFC

September 1st Sunday 8:00 PM UK time | 9 vote(s) 69.2% KeyserSoze, GloryHunter07, backofthenet, Mighty Boosh, Edgar Allan Pillow, Eboue, JP77, RussellWilson, Hephaestus

September 2nd Monday 8 PM UK time | 5 vote(s) 38.5% backofthenet, Eboue, JP77, RobinLFC, Hephaestus

September 3rd Tuesday 8 PM UK time | 5 vote(s) 38.5% GloryHunter07, backofthenet, Eboue, JP77, RobinLFC

September 4th Wednesday 8 PM UK time | 4 vote(s) 30.8% GloryHunter07, Eboue, JP77, RobinLFC

* Any of the above | 3 vote(s) 23.1% Utdfrom2002, Jagga7, freeurmind

Eboue has voted for all options so it's easy to calculate.

Looks like Sunday night UK time has 8 (no Eboue) + 3 = 11 votes
 
@RobinLFC has made it clear he can't be free on Sunday till at least 9:30 PM.

If everyone agrees to it, we can move the draft to September 1st Sunday 10:00 PM UK time and everyone can attend the live draft. Else RobinLFC will have to pre-draft
 
I can make 9pm work since it's obvious that Sunday is the best night to hold the draft. But barring a miracle, 8pm would be autodraft for me yeah.
 
Maybe 9 instead? 10 would be pushing it for me. The draft will probably last about an hour. I've got to be up about half 5 for work so staying up till gone 11 is a bit risky for me. Maybe Robin can do 9 or so?
 
Think of me guys. Am in India so this is a late night or very early morning for me :nervous:
 
Looks like 9 PM might be alright for most. So, will book the 9 PM slot for September 1st unless someone else has an issue.
