Hi Eaglezzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz, the contest is set up as 12 leagues (see the original post) with the methods of entry being explained there. The chance for openings in the last 4 leagues basically if it occurs will be if anybody bails right before the draft and Clayton puts the call out on the message board for a late replacement.-QG

I am in League 9, I have to leave no later than 730 eastern. So I will have to autopick the last half of the draft. You should put a timer on it. Thanks.

Well it's not like it's survivor format or anythi... oh never mind...It looks like where things went awry was the bye weeks obviously. 8 players missing from week 4 would seem to be a problem. The good news is that there's only 5 guys who have the week off in week 5.firstseason1988 Player YTD Pts Bye Orton, Kyle DEN QB - 7I am in League 9, I have to leave no later than 730 eastern.

This could be one of the worst draft efforts ever. Why bother accepting an invite if you're going to mail it in???
Did a "rate my team" on it. I will say that for the Turk's benefit that it seems to underestimate the bye week problem listed above for week 4.
# Week 5 presents serious bye week issues for you: Philip Rivers, Ryan Grant, Lance Moore, Jeremy Shockey, and Robbie Gould are off.
# Week 4 presents moderate bye week issues: LeSean McCoy, Jonathan Stewart, Chris Wells, Steve Breaston, Jeremy Maclin, David Akers, Atlanta Falcons, and Arizona Cardinals are not playing.
If it's not too tough, maybe noting situations such as this team having 0 starting defenses in Week 4 could be a potential avenue for some comedic lines
Anyhow, here's the "rate my team" link: Here it is.
While it looks virtually impossible for this team to advance, the potential to play a spoiler role in the first weeks is very real.

One final question that I couldn't find in the leagues explanation:
Can we make FA pickups?
Some of my survivor leagues let me and some don't.

No trades, no FA pickups. Best ball scoring from your original 22 man roster.

Awesome, knew the scoring just didn't see any pickup specifications.Thanks!

Clayton, and all of League 11:
I have predrafted enough players for the first 4 rounds of my draft. This is because something has come up that may delay my getting to the computer until as late as 9:00 EST (although more likely until 8:45 EST, if at all)
I posted a rough outline of my plan in the league chat (where I will post when I get to the computer) so if my pick gets to round 5 for some reason before I get back to a computer (I reallllllly doubt it will) Clayton please make a pick.
Do not pick a guy on with a 4/5 bye, and just use MFL's ADP.
All of this should be complete contingency and should not even matter but I want to be cautious because I have seen what has happened to a couple other guys who missed the beginning of their drafts.
ETA: it will say I am online because I have the internet page open so I can jump on it as soon as I get to the computer

Yeah, I didn't do a good enough job preranking the players. I took into account bye weeks the short time I drafted live, but did not on my prerankings, some of the players I should have put on the "do not draft list". I really didn't expect much by not drafting live, but the fact that it is already paid for and the value of the prizes, why not do it? Plenty of blind squirrels have found nuts when I have been the best "ranked." Are you in my league, what is your team like? Please give me a link to your team if not in my league so I can make fun of you when you are eliminated. I mean, you posted my team and leave yours out, man up bro. Thanks for your concern about me. Makes me feel so good that someone like you cares.firstseason1988 Player YTD Pts Bye Orton, Kyle DEN QB - 7 Rivers, Philip SDC QB - 5 Choice, Tashard DAL RB (P) - 6 Grant, Ryan GBP RB - 5 Greene, Shonn NYJ RB - 9 McCoy, LeSean PHI RB - 4 Slaton, Steve HOU RB - 10 Stewart, Jonathan CAR RB (P) - 4 Wells, Chris ARI RB - 4 Breaston, Steve ARI WR (P) - 4 Maclin, Jeremy PHI WR - 4 Moore, Lance NOS WR (P) - 5 Nicks, Hakeem NYG WR - 10 Robiskie, Brian CLE WR - 9 Welker, Wes NEP WR (P) - 8 Williams, Roy DAL WR - 6 Shockey, Jeremy NOS TE - 5 Witten, Jason DAL TE - 6 Akers, David PHI PK - 4 Gould, Robbie CHI PK - 5 Cardinals, Arizona ARI Def - 4 Falcons, Atlanta ATL Def - 4 22 Total Players This could be one of the worst draft efforts ever.

You should have had your wife draft your team while you fed her picks via cell phone from a MLB game.

If you are talking to me, I had to leave town on an airplane for a funeral. It was not a planned thing, something that happened after I signed up. I offered Clayton to see if he wanted to find a sub, he graciously allowed me to participate. I didn't want to put him on the spot by telling him why I had to leave for a flight, he still allowed me to play, something I won't forget when it is time to renew my membership next year.

Understood...and you are right not to sweat it. But next time, consider taking advantage of the shark pool. You'd be surprised how many people might have volunteered to draft for you under such circumstances, and you could have kept your team.In those types of circumstances, sub drafters are always allowed/encouraged.If you are talking to me, I had to leave town on an airplane for a funeral.

:( sorry to hear about your loss man, that's horrible news. By the way though I'm not the original repliant, I probably will join you week 4 or 5 in getting knocked out but you can still see why someone would see a team with a bunch o' week 4 and 5 byes and be moved to write, especially since the absentee/late drop seems a little bit higher this year.-QGIf you are talking to me, I had to leave town on an airplane for a funeral.

I wasn't inclined to start a thread about your league when there are 12 of you who could do so. Then again I may have missed the thread about your league.

Not in league 7 either.
Next to my team(we never had a discussion thread that I saw) is Capn Hook's team.
He's probably doomed if Brady doesn't do well after Johnson's 6.5 although Royal or Derrick Ward could pull him out of the fire.
I mention this because I would not have guessed as such a few days ago. The depth is meh but that looks like a top set of (would be) starters.

I didn't consider this to be a mock draft as there's something tangible at the end of the rainbow for the winner. Basically there's all-play best ball and there's survivor best ball.I'd be curious if there's any sort of pattern in terms of what # draft picks are getting eliminated. #9 and #5 were eliminated from League 7 this week.

Interesting to look at what's going on in the survivor leagues.
I was sure that my 9-24 all-play record had to be the worst that's still alive in any of the 6 survivor leagues, but I am wrong. FirstSeason1988 has managed to stick around league 9 with an 8-25 record
Blue Kun is the hardest luck eliminatee with a 20-13 all-play record in league 5.
Haven't looked at the other side of the coin, but it's interesting to see how much difference the format makes

Doing a quick look at League 1, the bottom 4 teams would be out in Survivor. The only unlucky boot would be the 17-16 team over two 15-18 teams, which would be the worst still alive.Interesting to look at what's going on in the survivor leagues.

I just saw this, but I was talking about myself. Several years ago, I did this and got roped into taking clients to a Rays game at the last second, so I had to keep excusing myself to run outside and get updates from my (now) wife as she drafted my team for me.If you are talking to me, I had to leave town on an airplane for a funeral.
