Very Small Rocks 2012-3 1 ThiKu Mariners 2 Aviators 3 FC Springfield 4 Dynamo Teso 5 ChrisSuttonsSlippers 6 Top_Shelf 7 Kopite Juniors (Central time, US - draft anytime) 8 Ram It In There Time zones and availability for drafting should be posted by each of us in here. The site is up and we can start discussing draft dates ....
Asap please. If I can start the draft all the better. If not, I will give as comprehensive a list as possible to tarv or some other poor soul and will leave it with them to do as best they can for me without any repercussions (i.e. not getting enough Scotsman in the team that can score over 150FPL points)
Are we starting to orginise drafts now?? As of last update there are 2 VSR members yet to confirm!! Small Rock fair enough as they have all pledged their participation but VSR looks to have a couple of holes at the moment. If you guys know better then please share with the rest of us so we can start organising the Sand draft etc
Sorry doc. I have special circumstances as I need to try and organise something personally as I will be on a 17 day cruise starting 31st July and wont have much (if any) internet access. p.s. I believe wewunonce will be returning and will make that official on here shortly.
Go for your life mate.. I am as keen as anyone to get moving... just would like to know in which direction?? For the record I hope the 2 "non confirmers" for VSR are back, so then I can underway in sorting Sand League out. In saying that, if they do not confirm I am still pushing myself and Jedi's case that we be promoted to VSR ahead of the 2 who were relegated from VSR...., especially given the participation (or lack of) last year of those who were relegated from VSR. ...see previous posts for justification/ give us a turn on the swing analogy etc. Good to hear wewunwunce is back. He was a a good adversary last season
I would suggest if we don't get those 2 confirmed that fella's be promoted from Sand and the guys who were relegated from VSR are still relegated from VSR.
I have just sent messages on here to Teso and Dear_Claudio -- I think that's who we were waiting on right? Let's see if they respond.
Update: Teso has not been on this site since February and his signature says "Farewell" Unless someone has an email address or something for him I think he is done. I tried again with Claudio this morning ... give him another 24 hours? He was on the site last night.
Trying to follow the various posts on promotion and relegation. (Tough business) Did Pittsadelphia(Eddie26) get relegated last season? That is what tarvindos'(Tom) work shows. There was also discussion about his being inactive. Eddie has posted on the Sand Organizing thread. DrHeckle is questioning as it impacts potential promotions.
So Dear_Claudio responded on the other thread and he is in. So decision needs to be made about Teso and if he is replaced, who replaces him?
My brother, Pork Soda, says he was 7th so Eddie was 6th and should have been in the side to start with. He was not very active, but I do not see a post where he was specifically discussed. Might be my limited search aptitude. Does someone want to have that discussion now? I suggest a start around 7/28 with a real effort to get 4-5 rounds in. At 7/31 you have a couple who will be on vacation. Frasermc will be out of touch completely, meaning he could miss the entire draft. That's no fun. I and others can help after that.
Yeah, I checked back to a Post called " Promotion/Relegation" (sorry do not know how to post the link here).. and Pittesdelphia definitely came 6th, so is 4th seed in VSR so stays in easily. That leaves us another Manager short in Sand... but I will sort that out on the relevant Thread... happy drafting guys, I will see some of you next season
I don't care what day we start. I am ready to roll now. I have my preferred team - or so I think - and then a list of backups. I wish I knew more about Southampton, Reading, and West Ham though....guess I'll do some research! Let me know when we're starting.
Traditionally, we use the Go Slow Phase for the draft, takes 4 days to a week depending on how well managers communicate and use proxies. However, is there any interest in starting with a GO FAST phase only this Sunday, where everyone gets 10 min to make their pick? We can probably finish the draft in a day or day and a half which would be before fraser leaves for his long cruise.
I can live with missing the draft. It's a lot of fun but I'm not expecting 7 other people to have to start early just to accommodate me. However, if we could at least have the draft order sorted before say, Sunday 29th July then it would make my draft strategy a little easier. Thanks 2 vegas2u and tarv for offering help. I will need it. I will try and have as clear a draft strategy as possible ready to go for whomever takes it on for me.
