The league is now full again and as such draft pick trading is now activated. Please visit the league page and take the poll so we can finalize the settings which will carry over for the rest of the time this league is in existence.

Rhys, I've been trying to get on the ESPN FF site and I can't. Mu work has blocked any activity going to this site. I don't have any internet service where I am at. Dial-up in the future.
I can't do anything to my team, so if it is possible, can you drop me from the league? I hate to do it but it would just end up being a team that doesn't compete. I'd rather have someone who will be active playing.

It maybe easier depending on the length of time it may take you to become active you could just allow your team to "play" for the time being and then when you get connected you could deal with it since it is a keeper league which should be going for a 3 year period. Let us know as then Billy or myself could assign a second owner to your team instead of deleting it. Let us know what to do?

PT,
Do you have a public library near you? You could let autodraft pick your team for you, be sure to pre-rank, and then once a week, say Friday for example, go to the library and set up your team for the weekend until you get dial up service.

Attention
Due to a scheduling conflict, the draft time has been changed to Sun, August 27 @ 8AM EST. There will be 30 seconds/pick.
I'm sorry if this inconveniences anyone.
Edited to clarify:
The draft is in the morning. It was the only time available when I reset it. On the bright side, we won't be up late into the night drafting.

Since it's a keeper league, I'll stay in it. I'll do the best I can.
With pre-ranking my players and not being able to pick up other players when needed, I'm still gonna kick your butts!!!

Thats the attitude but remember when you lose this year there is always next year or the year after that

I have been Mock Drafting on ESPN quite a bit and have been getting disconnected alot. What are the chances of this happening in the live draft? I would be very disgruntled if i was in the process of drafting a player and got disconnected. Sims or Rhys could you e-mail ESPN or find out the cause and whether or not we should be worried about this?

Do you have a dial up connection? Or do you have a broadband connection? I still have dial up. So, I have been worried about that as well.

Sorry guys.
I just didn't want to have a situation like last year where I create a league and then either forget the draft ( like last year) or can't attend ( this year).
8 AM was the only option for Sunday.
