If it means anything, 13ood's missing a pick was idiotic, but not illegal. The idea of him holding a pick to use whenever he wanted was speculation by another team; and that speculation appeared to me to be both paranoid and delusional. 13lood has used much less draft time than many other teams, and he should not be unfairly penalized relative to other teams. If the commissioner ends up auto-picking, then the autopicks should be consistent with some outside rating and should be chosen in the same manner for all teams that are forced into an autopick situation. To do anything else is to play favorites, which is not appropriate for a fair league.

sorry people, I've got the flu, been miserable the last couple of days. I3lood, we're good. I got paranoid. Effing Ray, ruining everything. Edit: It looks like we won't make it to the season start. I'm out of town this weekend (friday-sunday), so unless we're done by Thursday afternoon, I won't get the teams uploaded.

If everyone is signed up, just auto pick the rst of the draft, no? __________________

How about we each have until thursday to get you a list of our last 4-5 picks. As long as Michael doesnt mind assigning based on our lists.Anyone who doesnt send you a list by thursday gets autopicked or left blank and they can fill in from wiavers when waivers open? No way I want to miss opening week!

That's a lot of work on my part, and whatever I do, someone's gonna be mad. There's going to be a lot of overlap, and then I have to look into ADP lists and rosters and I can't commit to that. Again, I'm sick, i'm working, and I've got a trip this weekend. Rushing to get a free league up to date is not on my priority list right now.

I get that.
I would be willing to help out.
If each team sent a list of top 10 players to me by Thursday I will assign each team a player in order and send it over to the commish. That way all you will need to do is upload the lists.
Anyone who doesnt care or doesnt get me a list will just have their team uploaded as it currently sits and will need to fill out the rest of their bench spots via free agency. Either that or just call it a 20 round draft and we can all fill our rosters via the waiver wire. Let me know either way but I can def help out if needed.
Tim /EDIT
Its really not too much work. I have a spreadsheet already set up for it. Just send me your top 10 and I will assign them based on draft order. We will leave blank anyone who doesnt send a list. Easy peasy!

My next picks (21 and 22) are after most everyone, and my 23 is the very last. If you want I can handle the picks, which should make sure everyone gets 2 picks anyway.

I'm mostly sure that nobody's gonna snipe like my last two, so I can send you a list without much of an issue.

Hey dude, we are all good. Thanks for handling it the fair way. If you make me co-comishioner for the weekend, I can upload the teams for you then give it back to you after I am done. Jason

Most important is that we get the last team to sign up on the Yahoo site. Then if Speech is under the weather any one of us can upload the draft results up to the current position.
Then we can either open free agency or manually update the website as the last few players are taken. Either way we have to get moving. As a few others have mentioned if you want to allow temporary shared commish powers I am willing, but we got to get this moving! / Also I think Thanos is up for 2 right? Can we skip magic? // Maybe Dane will guest commish for a few days?

Since the last 2 picks were technically after time had expired, does the next pick expire at 10:13 AM or 12 hours after the last pick, 4:48 PM?__________________

It has always been 12 hours on the clock so it would be the earlier of two.

Sorry guys, I'm not seeing how a 10th and 17th for a 2nd is fair. I've got a feeling that this is a trade that the league would not pass through if it was made during the season. And there is a rule I put at the start of the draft saying that I would have final say on during-draft trades. So please, make your case. Or if anyone else sees a problem with this trade, speak up.

I love Rev and Blood but there does seem to be an issue with this one. But I am ok with this if everyone else is. I am not a huge fan of a lot of commish oversite unless it is blatantly unfair (which this may be )
