Official Fantasy RBI Winter 2006 Draft Thread

[ultimate7]

OK, I'm leaving for the afternoon. The draft "officially" closes at 6 p.m. Pacific. If Rack/Attezz hasn't picked by 5:15 p.m. or so (the next five to ten minutes), Gerlost is then on the clock.

So Gerlost has until 8:15 AM PST to make his pick?  I still don't understand why he didn't just make it last night.

[Nacho]

Me neither.  Total balls.

[BDawk]

Hey!...it's not like this is real or anything. give the guy a break. Some people have other shit to do

[GDavis]

Gerlost is keeping everyone guessing.  Well played.

But he was here when it was his turn to make his pick, for over 30 minutes and he just decided to wait until tomorrow.  I could understand if he just happened to not be around.

[ultimate7]

OK Gerlost has had over 2 hours to make his pick.  I'm going with:

Doug Decinces
Rich Gedman

Gerlost gets another hour now to make his 2 picks

[Mr. Blubbo]

Don't we just keep going and skip Gerlost.  So isn't it my pick now?

[TβG]

Don't we just keep going and skip Gerlost.  So isn't it my pick now?

i would say no, just on the technicality of the rules.  we have to wait.

[ultimate7]

Don't we just keep going and skip Gerlost.  So isn't it my pick now?

We skipped his first pick, now he gets another hour for his next pick, if he still isn't here, then you are up and we can continue.

[Shooty]

I remember doing a draft here...either fantasy RBI or fantasy hot chicks where if you missed one of your picks, next time it came back around to the guy, it automitcally skipped by him and didn't get his extra hour or whatever.  Seemed to be a good way to keep things moving.

[TβG]

as it stands now, we only have to wait 20 minutes.   can we get a ruling from fighton?

[fightonusc]

Correct. Gerlost has 20 minutes to make his next selection or else he gets skipped.

I am going to be out of town tomorrow, with limited Internet access. In my absence, TBG can act as commissioner and make any draft related rulings, etc.

[TβG]

crap, i'm not going to be here either... i hope we can get a lot done tonight.   maybe ultimate can be in charge tomorrow???

[GDavis]

Gerlost is the Vikings of this draft

[ultimate7]

I can be commish tomorrow if needed

[fightonusc]

Done. U7, you have the power tomorrow. Either that, or we can just call a three-day weekend and start again on Monday (since TBG, Nacho and TBT at least are all going to be out tomorrow along with me).

[TβG]

i'd probably be in favor of the three day weekend, i just hope that we get a lot of picks done today and tonight.

nacho and tbt are going to be out today, i'm not sure about tomorrow.

[BDawk]

I agree...let's finish this thing next week...

[TbT]

im in favor of the 3 day weekend.
im around till about 10 tonight, then i head out for the weekend.  so that would require Ult or someone to be on the horn at least 3 or 4 times with me on friday.

[ultimate7]

If so many are gone, let's just forget Friday
