What if I choose a player who decides to retire before we even get to preseason? Am I just screwed?

Let's ask the league shall we?
What does everyone think?

Since we started in May and the only way to really remedy such a situation would be to redraft, yes, you are probably screwed. I dont see why we dont do this the way 99% of leagues are done and show up one night all together and get our draft done... I somehow pull it off in the other 2-3 leagues I'm in a year. Between injuries and retirements and arrests and yadayadayada, so much can change between now and Sept. 10th... The league once going is alot of fun though so in the end it's worth it, im just not sure why this is done this way and need to be enlightened.

---

I start up the league early to remedy dragging and being late and/or never finishing this in time. Now last year was my first year running it, and we finished a month ahead (was around beginning of August IIRC) so yeah, starting early is best.

Alot, and I do mean alot or people can't get togeather on the same day to do a draft. For example, my schedule is like the wind, whichever way it blows me. So I have no idea if I am available or not. I know of 2 others who would be in the same catorgory as this.

You are more than welcomed to start up a league and do a draft on the same day with whomever you can find willing to do it here. I, for one, will not run it and will not be participating.

I hope this clarifies some or all of that for you.

I'm kind of in agreement, this is definitely the first time I've had a fantasy draft in May, and I think it'd be easier if we just planned way ahead and set up a draft for sometime in August. I would think if we planned it almost 3 months out we could all pencil in 2 hours of our time somewhere.

Don't take this as complaining, just a casual observation.

---

Well I can always cancel this league if that is what everyone wants to do. No biggie to me.

I'll go ahead and cancel unless I can get enough votes ( at least 6) to keep it running.

If everyone wants to do a planned draft date 2 months from now, that's cool. I won't be running it or participating.

Whoa there hoss, I'm sorry, I obviously need to work on sounding so crabby all the time. I didnt mean it to sound like an attack, I simply meant to suggest that, no matter what group of twelve people you have on earth their schedules are going to be wildly different but somehow in every other league I have been in, it works great to just schedule a time. I chose to be in this league and thus obviously agreed to go by these rules. I am not trying to back out. I just wanted clarification as to why this has to be so dramatic and why someone basically has to dedicate their summer to the draft.

---

Yeah. I agree with this. I was just wondering because there are three higher-profile players I'm concerned about. Last year, I did two other fantasy leagues with live drafting. It's way easier and it's over with inside an hour in most circumstances. The MOTL draft last year was apparently finished in record time so it was a whole lot of dead space between the end of FF draft and preseason, and I felt like I won when none of the guys on the end of my bench got cut during preseason. The bottom line for me is that I feel like we can get a live draft done if we plan it for a specific day well in advance. Emergencies happen, but that's where autodraft and setup lists help folks in those cases.

Ok so that's three for canceling the league and having a live draft like 2 months away as 1 vote for continuing this draft.
I think y'all found someone to host/run it as well (forgot who posted that above)

Again, I didn't say cancel the league. I'm just wondering why it's done this way when it's so easy to do it in other ways. In other words, improvements can be made.

To the rest of you, calm the **** down. The only argument I've read for keeping this way as the way we do it is that "this is the way we do it." Does anyone actually have something constructive to say? Last year's issues is exactly why I'm bringing this up. It screwed up revenger in ways that would make the rest of the season garbage in my opinion. If he had checked out as a couple other managers did, I'm pretty sure last season would've been an epic failure. If we're not having fun or have a reason to stay active in the league, then what's the point? I can do money leagues if I'm just in it to win it.

So does this mean you are bailing out and will be joining money leagues or no you re not? I'm confused.
And since majority wants to keep, I won't cancel the league an keep updating when I can.
If anyone wants to leave the league, it's ok, we have 2 more lined up to fill up spots that are vacated.
Burning question for me now is "
Everyone gonna stop complaining about start up time or another draft league start date or whatever else. "

Huh? It wouldn't be starting over unless you joined another league that started by someone else, something like a draft date 2 months from now.

The answer to my original question to me is:

We are old. We don't change. We will not look at options for improvement and I will throw a fit and cancel or tell you to get out for not being happy. MOTL problems even fall into the fantasy league ffs.

All that said. I signed up, I will have fun, I never voted to cancel the league. Jesus.
