Sorry guys. I'm backpacking through Europe and haven't had wifi for 6 days. I'm good to start early, but I'm also not sure I will have wifi again until August 1st, so it may or may not be irrelevant given I'm the 2nd pick. I don't even know how were drafting? Do we draft on fantrax? I heard something about drafting in a thread on dobber? I'm not sure what we're doing lol.
looks like everyone has confirmed.
rataylor will have limited access but assuming we can get him to post his pick 2nd overall we should be able to get back to his pick without issues. if he doesnt have wifi access we can resume the draft on Aug 1.
might be better that way, gives us 3 days of no OTC to do almost 2 full rounds.
commish, if you want to give us the final go ahead to make the draft start official we can get this rolling.

OK, looks good.
Since rataylor22 is in Europe, we'll put the draft on hold if he's not ready to make his 2nd/3rd round pick... obviously with the #2 pick, he probably has a good idea who he wants there to start us off.
I'll revise the Draft Time to start soon: 10:00am Eastern July 29th (today).
Please make your picks in two places:
i) The Fantrax DRAFT ROOM. This will officially add a player to your roster.
ii) The Thread here in "Your League Chat" - this will mostly be as a league thread - and I know many other forums members will enjoy watching a new draft progress.
LET'S DO THIS!
GinFizz > kick us off with that #1 overall pick.
Please post in this Forums thread: http://forums.dobbersports.com/showt...5-Draft-Thread
AND make your pick in the Fantrax "DRAFT ROOM".
