2024 DobberBaseball League

[2014olympicgold]

We have 143 picks left with 7-8 days (5-6 weekdays) left before March 26. So to not have the draft move through the weekend, we need 28.6 picks/day.

If we use the weekend, we can pick 17.875 picks/day.

Just to compare with what we did yesterday....That was 25picks. So we need to have the pace we had after I posted the "we need to hurry up" (14picks in 3ish hours, then a pause till 12am) to catch up.

The complete pauses are killing us. We are in Round 12. We need to get to get to round 20 by Friday morning if horrorfan isn't picking from Friday-Sunday. 8rounds in 3 days is 26picks/day.

Horrorfan (Sorry PH lol typed you in by accident), a draft list is likely required. I can't see us getting there if we're praising what we did yesterday as good. Yesterday is what we really needed as our average.

Hopefully things speed up, otherwise I feel like I'm going to be sending lists every night! Not fun. I just hope others will start doing this as well if they're busy.

Maybe we're all colluding against you so you stop winning...

Haha. It's just the extra effort to build lists that I'd rather not do too often. I accept my unique situation which requires it sometimes, but it would be nice if others would also try to keep things moving more quickly.

Can't win if the league doesn't start?

I'd just like to have a 4 pick day.

I think PH is going to have to start leaving lists since we keep getting stuck on him. Having HF and PH as the bookends to our timezones and very close together with their pick slots is alos making things a little more difficult - not blaming anyone for that, but just one explanation as to why we have been slower than usual this year.

Good thing we started early. Some crazy commish wanted to start on Friday!

Having 20 rounds done by March 28th isn't any different than having 12rounds done by March 28th lol. Both end in not finishing lol.

Have I mentioned draft lists in previous posts?

I'll send an email using Yahoo today.

Considering we were originally going to start today... We're ahead of schedule!

6 picks isn't that far away... especially if another SP run happens!

I was meaning in the grand scheme of the weekend.

I hope we can make it through 6 picks in a weekend... but Kofax mentioned he is done until Sunday/Monday.

Sounds good. If I see it closer to my pick I will send someone at the front end of the draft a list.

Sorry.

I was trying to be proactive last week when Kofax was potentially away. And there wasn't that big of concern.

And EB - you have been in enough drafts with me to know that I usually am not holding things up.
One weekend out of how many drafts....

Does anyone know what this tool is useful for?

[Kofax]

We’ll get there. Everyone is aware it’s tight now and people will start leaving more lists if they know they’ll be away. I imagine we’ll get back on track this week. We struggled through my vacation and now I’m back to return the favour for others as needed!

Even if we are late a bit, not the end of the world. We’ll work it out. Let’s just keep pushing forward.

[horrorfan]

Just a heads up - we're 8 picks away from mine (can someone update the pick summary please?) and it's not easy making a list when I'm that far away. I'll try to make a list for Kofax, but if it runs out, that's the best I can do.

Done.
