    CF Fantasy Footy Website

    Reminder, we will be drafting this Sunday, September 3rd at 7PM CDT, at the league website draft section, which can be found on the link above. We have had to replace a few players that had to drop out, but hopefully everyone else is still on board and will attend the draft. If you cannot make it let us know and either pre-rank your teams on the website, or send me your list at the following: my email

    The rules of the draft are 3 minutes between picks - 20 rounds, hopefully we can go through it fairly quick. You start the following positions: 1QB, 1RB, 1WR, 1TE, 1PK, 3UT, 1DL, 1LB, 1DB 2DP = 13 total, 7 bench players.

    The Draft Order:

    1. PSJ
    2. Fade
    3. Rocketball
    4. Finn
    5. Castor
    6. Greek
    7. A-team
    8. Moe
    9. Jent
    10. nWo34Life
    11. Sam
    12. Smeg
    13. DeAleck
    14. Paul

    ***Be sure to go to the website, to set your teams, passwords, logos and such..........

    Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I hope everybody is planning on attending, not getting much reply here.. :D


    The website is now set up where you can enter the draft and rank your players and set your draft settings, if you won't be able to make it - but if you could let me know that would be great so the computer will auto pick yours right away and not take the full 3 minutes. Help speed up the draft.

    Also, the draft will start at 7PM CDT when PSJ makes his first pick....after that the clock will start, and off we go. So PSJ has all the power, first pick and the key to start it up....

    So theoretically the draft could start right now and we could actually get a few rounds done before the clock starts ticking? Is that correct?

    Theoretically, you could, however it is set right now for 3 minutes for each pick - so that is what would happen, it would automatically skip those that don't have the computer set to pick after the three minutes are up.

    Already e-mailed Rocketball, but I'll be out of town for the draft (labor day weekend trip). I'll set pre-rankings and swift through my roster when I get back. Good luck all.

    Just did my first online live draft (NFL.com) this past saturday. 90 seconds between picks. We were done in less than 1 hour (48 minutes). 5 guys (12 teams) showed up for the live draft and the rest were put on computer pick automatically.

    It was a great experience. Hope this one goes as smooth.

    Should we do just 2 minutes between picks........3 minutes seems like a little too long...

    3 minutes is too long.

    2 minutes is plenty of time to make a pick.

    Just tried it and it worked:

    After entering the Draft room, I clicked on "League Chatroom" (on the left side of the page under "Commish Admin") and it opens a small box to chat with everyone (which can be moved so you can see the draft in progress)

    If everyone uses this chat feature while we draft, we can move things along smoother.

    Yeah we definitely need everyone to do that (I'll put that on the site), didn't realize the site had that feature - that will help. At the least, we can laugh at Fade's picks...

    "With the second pick of the draft, Fade selects........Jeff George, QB Oak......."

    I have not heard from DeAleck and A-team....is either still planning on playing. If so, let us know, or we may have to drop to 12 before the draft.


    If someone is interested in taking their place as I would rather have someone from CF play then me bringing someone else in. Interested let me know - we draft tomorrow.
