Booche Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 If you figure out a time/date for the draft and I can be available, then you can count me in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Johnson Posted September 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Games start Sept 29....would Sept 28th (sunday) in the evening work for most? If you cant do it, you'll be autodrafted and in my experience this usually works out better for ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 Sunday night? Blech.Make it some work night the week before, the 22nd to the 25th. It would be a great excuse for me to tell the old lady why I have to drink beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hal Johnson Posted September 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 (edited) Who can argue with that logic? Sept 22-25th...Tuesday nights are usually garbage on the tele...Sept 23rd? 7:30? Edited September 8, 2008 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 In but the earlier the better for the draft because if a number of people have it set to auto, those of us participating live will be bored to tears and it will take a looooong time.

dave-O Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 I've never done an autodraft. Can someone give me a quick summary of how that works? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted September 8, 2008 Report Share Posted September 8, 2008 I've never done an autodraft. Can someone give me a quick summary of how that works? Before the draft you rank your players in order of preference. When the draft starts and it comes your turn if the next player on your list is available that's who you get. If not it goes to the next player. Not sure what happens when you run out of players on your list but it probably defaults to the list of Yahoo ranked players. So really you don't have to do anything but let the computer pick your players based on its own ranking. Takes all the emotion and stupidity out of it.

Hal Johnson Posted September 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 (edited) I was going to give out points for saves, but if you look at last years goalie leaders you'll see that that stat dominates the point totals. For instance, Thomas Vokoun led all goalies last year with 2105 total fantasy points, mostly b/c he made 2033 saves. Next in line was Brodeur who had 14 more wins, but only 1921 saves.My solution to this is to make saves worth 0.25 points, that way its still a variable, but not as annoying. (just checked it out and it would put vokoun down to where he belongs - in 17th place for goalies) What do you guys think?
