^ EDIT: I see now 2 Pacific for yours, my other one is at 2:30 pacific. Any chance to make yours later? I know it's a big ask for one person so if not no worries how much later? doesn't make too much difference to me but I don't want it to be too late for those on the east coast. I don't think my other draft will go more than 2 hours so 4:30 pacific/7:30 east would work let me know if not, again no worries or hard feelings I'd rather the majority be ok to go then for 1 to cause an issue

I’m in the east and it won’t bother me. GT on the other hand..... aren’t they like 4 days ahead or something over there in the other side of the universe!!!

advice to all, especially those who are new to the fantasy thing.
go to the league tab, find the league info, and check out the rules and scoring for the league.
after that, no one look at anything else so I can draft the best team.... 😛

My strategy will be to pull the goalie in the first minute of the game and play with an open net.

I'll go change it now. okay.... on the ESPN overview i'm seeing, the draft time is telling me that it's 7:30 on the morning of jan. 11th. so...just to make sure. for people in north america, is your draft time 7:30 ET on the evening of the 10th? the reason i ask is that some sites realize i'm a little dim and figure out the thailand time for me automatically, other sites just post it as north american time in whatever time zone and leave me to my own devices to eff it up. i'm sure this won't be my last question.

oh man, 7:30 AM is right in my wheelhouse. i'm usually up well before 5. and the cats are fed and watered by 6:30. it's the perfect day here as well. monday is the midget's day off so she will be snoring in her bed and not distracting me while i assemble my dream team. this will be just like a big test during my school days many many moons ago. i'll do all my studying 3 hours before the school bus comes. i haven't given it much thought yet although i do hope pius suter is still available for my first pick.

(highest post count first? seems fair.) so we will meet here on these boards on the date/time specified but we do all our selections from the ESPN page, correct? more questions to come, no doubt.

How long do you get to pick when it's your turn? Just curious.

i hope this draft procedure is pretty much self explanatory because i don't really have a hot clue what to expect.

i hope this draft procedure is pretty much self explanatory because i don't really have a hot clue what to expect. It's really easy, you enter the room, you have your spot, it snakes so first round is 1-8 then 2nd is 8-1 if that makes sense or picks 9-16 and then back and forth weaving like that so the team with the 8th pick also has the 9th pick and the team with the 1st pick also has the 16th pick they have players ranked based off of last year's stats and their "projections" so they give you an idea of both who is the logical choice and others around that slot but also if you have a guy you really want on your team they will have them ordered so that you can tell if the guy may or may not be there next time you pick and then you're just off to the races and have to decide when is the right time to take what position, do you go big for the best goalies or load up on scoring things like that

i just did a mock.....i figured i'd have a leisurely few minutes to poke around, chin in hand, pondering my next selection. fook me....it went so fast my head was spinning.
i think i need a whiskey, and i'm strictly a beer man.
