[piksi]

I am in

 

[JerN820]

Count me in! Hopefully my team can stay healthier this year!

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Yeargh...

 

[MoneyMike916]

Whoo!

 

[Geoff]

i are there

 

[Rockmeister]

I have decided not to participate.

 

[VF21]

I have 8 slots confirmed thus far plus Bigdog, which means if you were part of this league last year and want to return, I need you to sign up soon. I will have at least one vacancy so if you would like to join us and promise to be an active participant, let me know.

 

[DownunderKing]

Can an old timer come back and join?

 

[VF21]

You sure can! Check your PMs.

I need a response from nebs and Gary to see if we're going to have any additional vacancies.

 

[nebs]

Yeah I want to play. It feels too early for basketball to me but it's right around the corner!

 

[VF21]

Glad to have you back with us, nebs.

 

[DownunderKing]

Cheers for that. Now just to work out what time PDT10.30am is for me.

 

[VF21]

Cheers for that. Now just to work out what time PDT10.30am is for me.

that's easy. Look at my post right above yours. I posted it at 10:39 a.m. my time. So whatever time it says for you will be the equivalent of 10:39, so just make sure you're in Yahoo nine minutes before that.

 

[DownunderKing]

I found out the other day. It's 6.30am on a Sunday!!!!!!! But I'll be there.

 

[VF21]

You can always pre-rank your selections, just in case. Remember, you need to be registered in the league BEFORE the draft so if you haven't signed up yet, take a minute and do it now, okay/ I'm trying to get these leagues finalized so we don't wait until the last minute to scramble around and fill a slot.

Thanks!

 

[DownunderKing]

But that takes all the fun away from being involved in the draft. Anyway I've already gone and cancelled the raod trip for that weekend.

 

[VF21]

We now have 10 members. If I cannot get TWO more participants, we'll be going with a tighter league.

 

[Geoff]

Oh dear...

well, first time for a 10-manager team in yahoo, but i hope we get 2 more soon.

 

[VF21]

We've got a little time and I've got at least one person I'm working on so hopefully we'll have a full roster before long. If we don't have two more people by the night before we draft, however, I'll have to change it to a 10-person league. Yahoo doesn't let you draft if you don't have an even number of teams.

 

[JerN820]

Hopefully we can get two more people.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Why are the drafts so early?

 

[VF21]

My drafts are always the same time.

 

[OptimusRhyme]

hey i want to make sure im in at least one fantasy league with kingsfans this year. is there any room for me to join?

 

[VF21]

Boy, are you in luck. A slot opened up as a long-time participant has dropped out. I'll send you the league ID and password.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

My drafts are always the same time.

I don't really want to start an argument over this, but this is not exactly accurate. I know for a fact that you've moved the draft time for one of your leagues at least once on request.

 

[VF21]

???

I'm sorry if I'm not 100% on my toes over this. I've had other things on my mind. I wasn't actually completely sure what you were talking about... Your question wasn't clear to me and I thought if you had a serious concern you would probably send me a PM about it.

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

The error is mine; I should have clarified my position. I did not mean to offend. I was asking why the draft was so early because I knew I couldn't make that time; I'll still be at work.

 

[VF21]

My problem now is two-fold. First, I'm not sure what time slots are even still available. Second, I'm not sure I could get the word out to everyone about a possible time change. I'm not against moving it a couple of hours later IF the majority of participants don't have a problem.

I can send PMs to all the registered managers and see if they'd be receptive to moving the time of the draft to later in the day. If I'm going to do that, however, I need to know what time would work for you. And then I need your sworn blood oath that you'd be eternally in my debt.

(Okay, I'm just kidding about that very last part. )

 

[Mr. S£im Citrus]

Well, my lunch break is at noon. It would either have to be then, or after 1730.
