Any place to do auction mock drafts? (1 Viewer)

[fasteddie_21]

So I'm trying to prepare for my first ever auction and would like some practice. Anyone know of any site/place etc. that you can do a mock auction, like antsports or whatnot?

TIA

ESPN

Yeah ESPN has them but the participation there sucks

 

[fasteddie_21]

No other place than ESPN then?

Well if a bunch of guys on here want to get together for a mock auction then I'd be up for it.

I thought maybe I'd be able to gather some knowledge tonight as there were actually 12 live participants instead of half auto drafters. That idea lasted until the second nomination when OchoCinco went for $60 and Tomlinson went for $131 shortly thereafter. I'd be up for a mock auction too if we could fill it up with legitimate drafters

Yeah its really annoying, seems like a bunch of kids go in there. A few times I've seen Adrian Peterson from the Bears nominated first and people bidding on him. But yeah, if we just set up a time and agree on which room to enter, it wouldn't be hard to get 12 of us together.

I'm about to go to bed. I work tomorrow and going to a party tomorrow night. Sunday night would be good for me. How does Midnight EST sound? (9PM PST).

I believe you have to create an account there if you don't already have one. Its really quick though.

I'm in. Need to practice for the initial draft for a Dynasty PPR league, 10 team.

I'm up for tomorrow mid-morning or later in evening FYI, the catch is we'd have to all sign up at the same time, you can't "reserve" a mock draft auction, but they have them set up about up to 15-20 mins ahead of time so we could grab one of those, IF we sign in and join the same room. maybe coord here about a half hour before-?

but yes otherwise they are a total joke. the kiddies join then leave right away or bid on 1 guy then leave etc.

PS: a better way, although you would have to track people's money yourself, is to just hook up in a chat room somewhere, but at least that keeps the losers out

Yeah that's what I was thinking. They actually make the drafts available about an hour ahead of time. So it shouldn't be to hard for everyone to get into the same room as long as we all know where to go. I think the only issue would be getting 12 guys together at the same time. Should I start a thread about this in the mock draft forum or someone else want to?

 

[fasteddie_21]

I'm up for it tomorrow evening (sunday).

Let's meet up here first and go from there. Meet here 830PM PST?

 

[Powder]

Sounds good but I don't think we have enough people interested.

We'll see what happens come tomorrow. All we can do.

Bump for other interest for tonight.
