Tom has just set up that league with the owners in the order that he entered the league. We'll press the button to run KDS shortly. Let me look at the team pages of the six owners we were waiting for and we'll post draft spots shortly. Thanks all for your undying patience!! ;)

Although it's probably not necessary with this group, who wants to go 4-hours with clock bumped to 8 hours (or off, if possible) overnight??? I'm game.

I trust Mike to keep things moving at a brisk pace, but I'm fine with a shorter clock if that's the consensus.

I'll do what I can, Jim, but I may need a couple of cell numbers that I do not have from participants in this league. Will email the league before we start. Looking forward to this one big time!

And P.S., get your ass to the Vegas party! I want you there. It'll be a blast. 8-)

What time do we start on Monday morning? Fun times ahead. This draft moves fast enough with MtM pushing, I can't commit to a 4 hour league and I think that would take away some of the fun anyways for this one!

We''ll be fine with an 8-hour clock. We'll all keep it moving. Looking forward to it, Max...and taking your annual donation to the league. :mrgreen:

Hmmmm...1K League, Mikey. All the justification I need that my picks will take 6 2/3 longer than you are accustomed to.

:P

Just thought I'd post a note here to say that my partner (Barry) and I are west coasters and earliest morning picks will be about 8AM PT, sometimes a bit sooner. We keep up though.

FYI for everyone especially Mike who'll be keeping the pace...

Feel free to text me when my turn comes up, but its not going to make me go any quicker. During the day I will be checking hourly, but I can't have one eye on the phone at all times especially at work. And as much as the autodraft is a nice feature, I rarely use it and don't trust it, especially on mobile.

And this one is almost in the books. We needed just over seven days to finish and there was some fun and interesting commentary in the chat room. Just a great group of veteran players. Thanks to Mike and everybody else who kept things moving.
