    Your California time zone isn't normal, it's gotta suck that most live evening events in the US take place around 4-5pm California time, huh?

    And yeah, 8pm Eastern. standard vs daylight doesn't really matter, as we only use one at a time, and we won't be switching before thursday...

    Well, for NBC these last two weeks it does. But when Football season comes and I get Sunday and Monday Night Football during dinner and not by the time I hit the sack, it's all good. ;)

    The trekbbs NFC league still has an odd number. I don't suppose it would be possible to convince one more unfortunate soul to join?

    Looks like I won't make it to the NL Yahoo draft on Thursday (forgot I have a golf tourney), so I hope autopick does a good job selecting my team. I pre-ranked the top 50, but after that, it's totally up to the computer.

    Just a reminder for folks in the ESPN keeper league: Keepers must be selected by 4:00 p.m. CT today (Wednesday).

    When are we doing the NFC draft? I can't do Sunday at 11:30 EST. Earlier would work.

    So I will admit that I waited until the last possible second to set this up and that this is my first time doing Fantasy football... what are some tips on setting up my pre-draft/ what are some good draft suggestions? Thanks!

    I won't be present for the football draft tomorrow either. But I usually remake my team through the waiver wire anyway.

    Crap. I set up a couple to start with, but thought I had more time. I was still toying with a 5th keeper. Any chance at bumping it back a LITTLE more (won't be home until 10 EDT, and it's blocked at work).

    When is the draft for ESPN, anyway? Sunday night, i seem to recall?

    Edit: never mind, I went to a friend's apartment after work and snuck in in time, so I'm all set!

    Would we be able to change the time?

    Are you the commish? It should be an option in commissioner tools, under draft settings.

    I'm not. Personally, I'm not sure if another time would be better for me. I was just asking if it were possible.

    Excuse the double post, but do we have defensive players to draft this year? I thought we drafted an entire defense in order to avoid that? What's this D category?

    It looks like the league is set up to draft a defensive end. Personally, I'd prefer NOT to do so.

    Fine time for CV to vanish - we have questions now.

    Oh, my schedule suddenly shifted so that I prefer some time in the afternoon on Sunday (I would likewise rather not miss the draft).

    reminder, the AFC yahoo league drafts tomorrow (thursday) at 8pm EDT.

    And we draft a few DLs and DBs. I kinda like paying a little attention to the other side of the game, and you get points for interceptions, sacks, etc. Seperate from the team defense (which is mostly points allowed, plus any points scored)

    Fear not, I'm back to answer questions about the league.

    The "D" position is one where you draft an individual defensive player of your choice to play each week. It can be anyone, from a safety to a linemen. Since there seems to be some opposition to the idea, and no one is stepping forward really in favor of it, I cut the position.

    As for the draft time, I'm open to changing it. We just need a consensus time to do the draft.
