Scotty, any chance you have Venmo? Not a huge deal, but it would save a couple bucks in fees with how I have mine setup.

 

The Sacko still has a hotmail account, i highly doubt he has a venmo account.
Wait while he connects though

 

Lol I can't even talk shit. I have no idea what venmo is, and I didn't know Hotmail was for chumps.

 

I ain't gonna lie...I know what Venmo is, but I don't have an account either. It seemed like a passing fad, but old people are starting to use it for payment, so maybe it might stick. And I think PayPal owns them.

 

WTF is Venmo?

 

What is that? A Loofah?

It's a payment app/service owned by paypal. Not great for conducting business, but good for exchanging money between friends and people you know.

 

So did we ever decide a draft date? The poll shows Sep 2.

 

That poll was silliness. You could vote for every date if you wanted. Currently I have it set for Sep1 at 830 CST.

 

Language there buddy...there's kids in the roon

 

How are we determining the draft order, or is it already set?

 

I think we settled on a random draft order.

 

It's randomized by Yahoo an hour before the draft.

 

Or Scotty sets it and blames Yahoo for his losing ways

 

Are we adjusting the draft pick time window down from 2 mins to 90 seconds or 1 min? Last year was brutal with the long draft time and waiting on us to make our picks.

Other things we chatted about, yet did not make any decisions on:
1. Adjusting the passing TD points to 6, currently we have it at 4

2. Weekly randomized waiver order, currently it's set to weekly rolling based upon standings

 

Yea, it was pretty brutal last year. At least reduce it by 30s or so. 90 seconds seems to be a good number.

And yea, passing TD points to 6pts (which I voted against)

and weekly waivers, which have been proposed for a couple years now but never passed. The two options in the software are weekly reset based on standings or season long rolling (ie they start with inverse draft order and don't reset ever. Make a pick and move to the back of the line)

 

Question, since I was never around for the draft: do you guys wait the whole two minutes for someone auto-drafting or does Yahoo expedite those?

 

Yahoo speeds it up if auto-draft is enabled.

 

TD 6 pts

90 seconds is fine, but I like the 2 mins...using multiple monitors and a plethora of resources does take its time when under pressure.

Rolling waivers would be good. Weekly resets adds a lot of parity, but we do not need to have that. We are not looking for a TV audience.

 

True, but it does help keep people engaged and setting lineups. Granted, we've never had a problem with that.

I can't get my head around the 6 point thing. Why would we want to differ from one of the standard scoring models? How are we supposed to do pre draft valuations now?

 

TD 6 pts for sure.
