I didn't really get a text from him just effing with you, my guess is he's at the cheese factory eating.He gets a pass then.

Is Tuesday still the beginning date of the 30 minute clock?By the way, PM sent to Maximus.With the 14 teams and 18 players per team, we will have to do a 1-hour draft clock for the early rounds and cut it down to 30 minutes later on - let's say, next Tuesday. If Thursday night comes along and there are still picks not made, I may have to institute a free-for-all pick ruling just so we can fill the rosters before Friday.
That's funny I didn't catch that at the time, but I had Elia down as a ST and have had jmon with 4 STs (and can take no more) for some time now.Good catch.JMon - MF ST - Eljero Elia, Netherlands
While looking like a better pick now that Robben is out, in all efforts of fairness Elia is a striker just like the rest of the Dutch wingers.
Unless Monday is another national holiday, no reason we shouldn't start then.Also, seems like we're making good enough time that we should be finished by the start of the WC. But do we want to tighten the clock in the last few rounds? Say 30 minutes for rounds 15-18?Is Tuesday still the beginning date of the 30 minute clock?
We did 9+ rounds in four weekdays. We have four weekdays to do 8 rounds plus the supplemental round. I think we should aim to finish the 18th round by Wednesday night so that Thursday can be calm day for the replacement picks and everything is nice and neat by Thursday night. At our pace by the end of the week, that shouldn't be a problem. Maybe a 30 minutes clock for Wednesday only if we have more then 2 rounds to finish.Unless Monday is another national holiday, no reason we shouldn't start then.Also, seems like we're making good enough time that we should be finished by the start of the WC.

I have not been checking the players; I have been taking everyone's word for it that they have been recording the players at the appropriate positions. Nice catch, thanks.That's funny I didn't catch that at the time, but I had Elia down as a ST and have had jmon with 4 STs (and can take no more) for some time now.Good catch.JMon - MF ST - Eljero Elia, Netherlands

10.14 Nicolas Loderio, MF, Uruguay11.01 Taye Taiwo, DF, Nigeria

Can't believe how bad this stalled yesterday. It would be great to finish round 12 today .
I was looking at Loderio and Melo. Amazing how many pretty good players are left and how close most of our cheat sheets seems to be.

I haven't made a pick in almost 48 hours.Has anyone contacted Turtle?

Nobody rushed you bro, but I'll be damned if I get skipped waiting on you.4 picks today. Nobody better be rushing to skip me tomorrow morning. When it isn't the crack of dawn out West I have picked in minutes.
I know, I just had hoped that since we're just a few days away from the Cup, we could have kept up the pace so we won't have to cut down the pick clock during next week.Weekend down? People arent regularly checking in on the weekend...of course it was gonna be slow
if they were involved in the draft, and there was a 2-hour time limit, it would have helped speed things up. and if you knew you weren't going to be around, you could have easily submitted a list of 25 names or so, enough to get through 2 rounds, so that it wouldn't have hit this wall.Weekend down? People arent regularly checking in on the weekend...of course it was gonna be slow
Or said something like, "sorry but I'll be out of town all weekend without access"Weekend, shmeekend. There is a draft going on on everyone has internet at their house and/or phone.

It happens in every FBG draft I have participated in. A lot of people draft at work and "live their lives" away from the board at night and the weekends. It should never really be expected to be any different.Or said something like, "sorry but I'll be out of town all weekend without access"Weekend, shmeekend.
