Well............the draft is not off to a good start.

Hope things get rolling before long.

[utbamod]

Toronto Tornados are on the clock. (Hope Greg gets my PM when he gets to work today and we can get his pick in early. He still has no computer at home).

Coventry Hitmen are on deck (and I have their pick)

Muckboys will be next.

I'll be away from the computer most of the day, so I won't be able to update this thread until I get home from work. Hopefully Romultiltus or jbergey can update things on this thread before I get home. Even if this thread is not updated and your turn comes up in the draft, feel free to go ahead and make your pick. I'll see that this thread is updated by 5 pm CST.

note:
Dave and Jeremy, sign in as the mod and you can check the PMs and see who Coventry wants if their turn comes up and I'm not around to post it.

No matter what I think we have to afford anyone who wants/needs it, the same time we've given this pick. The draft rules are very clear about no exceptions and on the first pick of the first draft, there is an exception being made.
I have no problem with it, things happen . . . but if this pick get 30 hours (or 40 or 80) then that's what I should get, should I need it (ditto for everyone).
Either that or declare the first pick forfeited and let's move on.

Sorry for all the confusion, but I have no control over my computer problems,
and I finally decided after much confusion to draft Uriah Grant.

I also have no problem with forfeiting the pick if that is the consensus.

Come on Will...Lighten up a bit, this is supposed to be fun.

[CONN CHRIS]

The rules have been pretty flexible in the past and probably should continue to be. a) This is just for fun b) We live all over the globe

I don't really have a dog in this hunt though given that Huge has all of my picks.

[utbamod]

Toronto has made their first pick

With the number 2 pick.......the Coventry Hitmen draft (10) Flyweight Jung Koo-Chang 0-0-0 (0) *beginning

Muckboys are on the clock

Baltimore Binks are on deck

Please hold off on what fighters you are releasing to the waiver pool until after the draft. Draft picks, rosters and releases to the waiver pool is too much to keep straight while the draft is going on.

The 105 cap is waived during the draft and I'll ask for releases after the draft has concluded.

[Tommysixfingers]

If anyone is interested in my 1st round pick (22nd overall) I'm open for discussion.

[Thunder]

Time limit for drafting:
Once a team has made a selection, the next team in the draft order is on the clock. Your team will have 12 hours to make a selection when the clock is started. If you do not make a selection in the alloted time, your draft pick will be forfeited and the draft selection will proceed to the next team. If you lose a pick due to forfeit, there will be no make-ups. No Exceptions!


That's the rule. I'm not the one who put it in bold type and underlined it.

For the record, I am not in favor of the rule, and it seems neither is anyone else, despite (or perhaps because of) the obvious lack of ambiguity. So, let's see that it is changed before the next draft?? In the interim, all I ask is that everyone be afforded the same 32-hour window that has already been given in this draft and you can consider me lightened up

[utbamod]

The Villebillies send their #24 pick in this draft plus their #1 pick in next seasons draft to the Baltimore Binks for the Binks #4 pick this draft.

Sounds like I'll find my first pick in my Christmas Stocking...

I used to get lumps of coal in my stocking, but then coal went up in value. After that, an old apple or orange was about it.

Think Turkey Day, Matt. I'm sure the draft will be done by then. Then again, as the champion, do you even need to draft anyone?

[Romdawg88]

The Muckboys take (14) WW Henry Armstrong.

Not really the original plan to take such a high rating but there were no 10s were I wanted and my WW suck hard so what the hell might as well.

You've got a good 'un there. I considered taking him.

[Mad Bomber]

Anyone interested in my second pick #20 please let me know, as I am willing to unload the pick.

The Villebilles are on the clock.

Boxing Kangaroos are on deck.

[utbamod]

The Villebillies draft Lightweight (14) Roberto Duran
