When is the draft scheduled to start?

I am hopeful that we will be able to start the draft March 12 or 13.

Settings look good to me. I like the two revisions for this year.

Let's get it started!

I hope to do better this season! Been stinking it up too much the last few years!

Official draft start: Tuesday, March 12, 9:00 a.m. EDT

• The draft will run without a time limit between picks for the first round, assuming no prolonged delays.
• After the first round, a four-hour limit between picks will apply so that we do not fall behind pace.
• The overnight pause will be midnight to 9:00 a.m. Eastern; this is a daily pause, i.e., also includes Saturday-Sunday.
• We will be drafting on weekends.
• Add a secondary e-mail address, if you have one, to your Draftime user account to ensure that draft notification messages are received. Make sure your primary e-mail address on record with Draftime is a current one.
• Please do not post draft-related messages at Yahoo!; use this forum. If you need to get a private message to me, use the "PM" feature here, as I rarely check my personal (rr.com) e-mail account during work hours.
• Managers with the #1 and #14 draft positions in each round have a single clock, not double time, for their picks.

All draft picks are restricted to players in the current Yahoo! pool for our league at the time your turn occurs. Please remember that the Draftime player list is not customized by league. If you have any questions regarding a player's eligibility, take a moment to check the Yahoo! player list for our league before you draft him. "Placeholders" are not allowed.

Slacker penalty: Evil Commish reserves the authority to impose reduced clock time upon any manager who repeatedly misses his/her turn. Such an extreme measure should not be necessary, given the auto-pick options available in Draftime.

The draft room is now open so that managers can review the player pool and set queues.

Let's go Ellis...we all know you're taking Eckstein

Emailed Ellis last night and again this morning. No idea what's behind the delay.

Maybe he's fallen and he can't get up?

Draft kicks off like a lead balloon.

Sorry dropped the ball today

Note to all: Be prepared for the four-hour limit between picks to be implemented Wednesday morning after we exit the overnight pause, rather than after conclusion of the first round. Three selections — two of which were instant picks — in twelve hours (and counting) is a disappointing way to begin a draft.

If you'd rather not take advantage of the variety of auto-pick (with or without delay) options available in Draftime, please consider setting an alert to notify you when your turn is a couple of picks away. Here's how:

Log into your Draftime account and, from the links across the top of the page, click "Edit Account." Next, click "Manage Email Notifications." Two choices are available. Under "Upcoming Pick Notification," set a number of picks before *your* next pick, then click the Edit button. You should see the following message in green type: "Preference Updated: Upcoming Pick Notification X Pick(s) Before." (X represents the number of picks that you selected.) It's that easy!

Really sorry got busy at work yesterday and totally forgot to make the pick! Wont happen again got the Queue setup and the mail reminders.

The four-hour draft clock has been activated.

Yeah! It's for me!

Well the start was slow but we're moving pretty good now. Nice recovery!

After all these years we are all still afraid of Moose.

We're all getting older and there's not as much trash talk anymore lol
