    I thought I'd bump our league up so when the time comes we can find it a bit easier. Is our draft going to be like the other ones? We will just take turns drafting on here, or will we be in a chat room?

    Hey Pugs,

    Thanks for bumping this back up....seems like so long ago we set the league up.

    The draft is next Tuesday. Hope everyone is doing their homework!

    To take part in the draft, go to the league page at Yahoo. Approx. 30 minutes before the draft starts (our draft will start precisely at 7:00 pm, so that's at 6:30 pm CST next Tues.), a link will appear that says the draft room is ready. Click on that link, and a java window will open. The draft will take place in that java window in real time. You must be there, at that time, to draft (next best thing is to set a pre-rank list, but that is never as good as being there).

    It's at that same time that a random draft will order will be assigned. You won't know your pick # until then.

    See y'all then.

    Isn't the draft setup to be ran at 5:00 pm Pacific time, which means it would be 8:00 pm Eastern time right?

    Could you tell me what BN stands for? I know DL is disabled list and Util is utility player. Also, is there a limit on the types of players we have to draft? Like 5 centers, 8 forwards, 8 guards. That's just an example, I know we're not drafting that many.

    BN = Bench

    You can draft as many at any position you like. No limits, no minimums. (you should draft at least 1 of each position just to fill out your lineup, the rest is up to you). Yahoo determines what position each player is eligible for.

    I'm really looking forward to it too. It's funny, I'm sitting here thinking to myself, wow look at all these great players I'm going to get, then I shoot back into reality and realize I might get 2 if I'm lucky. I have an eye exam at 5pm, but since it's just a checkup because I had an exam last week I should be home by 6:30 for the start of the draft. When will we be deciding who picks when? See you guys there, and I hope you enjoy owning me in my first year of fantasy bball.

    Less than 10 hours and counting....

    Hey, Pugs - nobody will know the draft order until 30 mins. before the draft. Yahoo automatically randomizes the draft order (in other words, if I happen to get the first pick, there shouldn't be any complaints ;) )

    Don't worry....I probably made enough mistakes to even things out.

    That said - KG (as is everyone on my roster) is available for the right price. :)
