    Guys,

    I’m fininishing setting up website, I get Rockets34 vote, it we have two weeks before the start of the season. We have two choices as draft order has been set by the website:

    1. CFans slow draft - 6 hours between picks rounds 1-6, 4 hours after that, starting tomorrow morning.
    2. ESPN fast draft - need to pick date
    3. Auction draft online - need to pick date

    What do you prefer?

    Scoring/Rosters remain the same....

    Auction would be a cool change of pace.

    Can we please use fractional points? Ties are stupid.

    I love auctions. Prefer slow (TRADITION), but if moving to a fast draft, auction would be great. Can't wait to see y'all jabronis blow $30 on a safety.

    Edit - although I will admit, I have no clue what the budget should be for such a large roster that includes IDPs. Hopefully ESPN has a dynamic budget setting by default. Or it could just stay at the standard $200 and it's on us to figure it out what the market will look like. If that's the case, it's gonna be a weird year. Some of the teams (not mine) are gonna suck BAD.

    I vote against auction. Fine with fast or slow traditional.

    I know there's so much hate for the slow draft, but it's still the easiest to schedule imo. Otherwise everyone's got different obligations and finding a time that everyone can sacrifice multiple hours is a pain. You always end up with someone who misses the draft or has computer issues where they end up with the wrong player or get auto skipped. I've never done an auction (and that sounds fun) but I bet it takes longer. So count me as a vote for tradition.

    Slow draft it is, sorry Rockets34, but hard to change tradition. I will set everything up this afternoon, will start draft tomorrow morning at 7AM CDT, same format as last time - will use spreadsheet as well to keep track. The time is shorter due to less time - 6hrs first 4 rounds, 4 hours after that - so leave lists so you are not skipped - we got less time this year, so try to stay up with so we can get it completed on time.

    Any questions, let me know... I will start a new post for draft tonight, so we’re good to go... draft order was set by ESPN...

    Great, glad to know we're keeping with tradition. Would you mind posting the draft order, Rook? I don't see it on the mobile app.

    Ugh, sucks. Setting one date/time on one day, knocking out the entire thing in 2 hours......yeah, that logical concept is crap.

    We're dealing with old fogies in this league now. You're going to make them change kicking and screaming?

    Have some respect for the elderly among us.
