We will be going with the utility. It is the easiest to facilitate. I have worked out many - if not all - of the bugs from previous times. As always, you can easily make a draft list in the utility. For those who do not know your password, try "baseball". If you changed it but do not remember, let me know and I will reset it to baseball.

Will be adding draft order momentarily.

Draft Order is up!

Washington is on the clock. As a CPU team, I will be autoselecting for them. The draft clock will start and stop around the holidays.

As of 10PM Thursday (tomorrow), the draft clock will be active. If you haven't made a pick in an hour, you will be auto-drafted so get your queues up to date! There will be a moratorium on Saturday and Sunday with the draft clock starting up again on Monday morning and the draft ending on Monday night. An upload will be sent, we will have a day to look at our teams and then Wednesday begins the rotation. To make up for the lost day, we will sim on Thursday as well.

Washington selects UCLA's P Terry Taylor with the first overall pick.

Texas is on the clock, per se.

damn, I pick 5th, but I am leaving for work. Won't be home til 4ish if it gets to me. Haven't looked through it yet. You can AIM me if you want to go thru some ratings with me or else I'll pick as soon as I get home.

Is there a new list of teams/owners we can see?

Thanks, trendon. Christmas comes early!

Hey, have a question. How does the draft order work? My team drafts 16th, in the 1st round, which makes sense going by their record last season. But then, every other round they are picking last. I do see a few others in odd spots, but I figure that's due to trades or something. By the way, is there trading of draft picks? I have that in my other league and half the league likes it and others don't. Anyways.....

Dont pay attention to the utility for the "round" by "round" draft order. I believe it failes to extend a round when teams have A or B compensation picks and therefore looks messed up.

Looks like you are the 16th pick in every round.

That's fine. No rush on first day.

Thanks for the explanation, bear. Another item I'm pondering. My team didn't have a Scouting Director (and also had seven friggin' coaching vacancies to fill). I have offers out, to fill everything, but am I screwed on getting a Scout before my draft spots come up? I'm presuming I'll have to just go with the OOTP generated scouting service.

Yes, you are. Get me on IM. Tell me who you offered a job to, I will force him on your team, and then send a new file up for you to download. The coaches can wait.

Will this mess anyone up that has made changes but not uploaded them?

No, unless you try and download another file in the middle of it all.
