Small Rocks 2012-2013 Organizing Thread

Never got an email. Reason for concern or no?

 

i used the verizon one, but as i'm looking at it again, am i right that you were using a gmail one also? to be safe, send me the one you want me to use for G-doc in a private conversation. i want to circulate it in the next day or so, which will allow everyone to confirm they have access long before we're scheduled to start.

 

i got it and have joined. as a tip if anyone is cutting and pasting it, be sure to remove any blank spaces before you hit enter. for some reason, it likes to add a blank space after the last number and then it won't work.

 

i got a new email for Epikoinos, and with that everyone should have received an email to the G-Doc for Small Rocks 2012-13.

there are several other worksheets if you scroll to the right, but for the draft, we will only use the first three -- Drafted Teams, Picks, and FPL Roster List.

while i deleted most everything from last year, i left the sheet for the Roster List from 2011-12 as i figured this would be the easiest way for the newcomers to see how we used it. basically, when you select a player, you will go to the Final Roster List (I'll double check this when we start) and put your team or name initials in the column next to the player. if you want to mark your player with your team color, even better, but it's not required.

while 3 pages may seem excessive, you don't actually have to do anything typing if you get comfortable with the cutting and pasting. you can block the 4 boxes for player, position, team and cost, and then color code it if you want, and then copy and paste it on the "picks" page and the "drafted teams" page.

tip: when pasting, use the "paste special" link under edit, and then "paste values" and it won't carry along box lines. and, if you realize you forgot, you can always "undo" and then do it again.

we can cover the other sheets and uses post-draft, but that's it for the draft. i'm assuming everyone is on board. again, i'll do an update of the roster list to pick up any additions or deletions from the next week next Sunday.

good luck, from the bottom end of the draft.

 

Are we starting August 6th morning? My best availability is Monday to Friday 7am - 4pm. Weekends not so good but will PM blindly. As blech knows I can pick John Terry via cell phone whenever necessary.

 

Sounds good. Being 3rd I can PM my pick in case we want to make some speed either night or morning....

 

I will make the 2nd pick around 6am ET Monday.

 

And I am up and running in the small rocks league and google docs.

 

Perfect. I'll try to get on sometime around then to do the final update on the FPL Roster List. If you've already picked, I'll mark and color code that #1 pick for you and then it will be ready to roll for everyone else on Monday morning. If anyone wants a walk-through on the copying and pasting part so that no typing of player names is necessary, send me a note and we can set a time to get into the document at the same time and walk through it.

Curious to see who you take at #1, and even more curious to see who is left at #8....... No doubt at least a few of you will pull a few fast ones on me!!!

 

I'm back but haven't had a chance to get my team started, joined league, etc. I'll do it later today. I'll be around most of Monday so that works fine for me too.

Just a reminder that I'll not be using the google doc for the draft or trades but will of course just post all my picks here as required for the draft and then on FPL site as required for trades. For those new to this league, I've tried using google docs for years (for this game and at work) with constant access problems and after wasting many days over and over again to fix the problem I've given up. Would it be possible for somebody to send me the final copy of the player pool in an Excel-readable form? If not, could you tell me when you plan on grabbing the list so I can just do the same?

 

Sounds fine. The usual is checking FPL site anyways. Had 1800 in my league once. We updated for him.

 

Everyone ready to roll? Cannon's posted his G-Doc plan. Anyone else not planning to use it regularly? Has everyone confirmed that they can get on? If you didn't get an email, it must have gone to a different/old account, so send me a note and let me know what account you want to use to acccess it.

As a reminder, Vegas said he plans to make the first pick late Sunday evening (depending on your time zone it may be Monday morning), followed by G-Daze on Monday morning eastern time, and then we'll be rolling. I plan to do an update of the roster list on Sunday evening. It will be easy enough to download it to Excel and shoot a copy to Cannon, so I'll do that, but will assume everyone else will look to the G-Doc to see the frozen list.

 

I got the Google Docs and will use. Can PM my pick if we want a Sunday night pick..

 

OK, I am in on FPL

Anybody else interested in this Player Exchange game on FPL?

 

Haven't yet gotten the gdoc invite, but just sent you a pm with new email address.

 

Ok. I'm now in the FPL SR league. That is the only code I've seen so far. Did I miss codes for the All rocks, cups, head to head, etc?

 

Holy Summer Mystery Tours ??? Cannon in before me

good to go

and i still prefer lotto for draft position

 

i'm in favor of anything that results in it being done again.....
