You can change it on your ESPN team page though I would advise against it until these two rounds are finished to avoid confusion.
I changed mine this year from VT Rambo to Rambo's Evil Monkeys

My selection: Peyton Manning

[Smizzy]

So the Mighty Ones have till noon tomorrow to pick or they forfit their pick,correct?

[Rambo13]

I believe Buttle [the mighty ones] has until 12:58 PM to pick at which point the next person in line is allowed to pick and Buttle gets skipped. Similar to what the Vikings did 2-3 years ago.

It says the last guy picked at 11:58am...How does the draft clock work?

Each pick takes place 24 hours after the previous pick. For instance, on my computer, it says edge picked at 12:58 pm, so Buttle has until 12:58 pm tomorrow to make his pick, or else the next person in line (in this case, me) gets to make my pick. From there, I'm not sure if Buttle gets another 24 hour time period, or if nyjunc gets his time, and Buttle can pick whenever.

[ButtleMan]

MIghty Ones select Edgerrin James,

Renegades are up

[Rambo13]

Are you central time?

I believe, theoretically now, Buttle would not be given an extra 24 hours. NYJUNC would have 24 hours after you picked before the next person in line could go. Buttle would have just had to pick whenever he could.

[AnyGivenSunday]

The Renegades select Clinton Portis

JUNC is up

[ScotsJet]

Eveyone is up for grabs with the exception of the keepers people have kept.
Including rookies?

[Rambo13]

Including rookies?

that is correct.

OK KIDS my team name

OLD : NY hard johnson's

NEW : average joe's gym

[ButtleMan]

I think starting the draft over the 4th of July weekend was a mistake. Plenty of owners may be away for the holiday and will not make the 24 hour grace period.
JMO.
I really dont think anyone should be penalized if they are on vacation and have no access to a computer.
Has of the teams drafting left a draft list with anyone else?

[nyjunc]

I will take QB Trent Green.

In my opinion, I wouldn't be against extending the alotted time through wednesday, but people should have known if they were going to be able to make it or not so if it was/is a problem, you'd hope they would have announced it by now. Also the next couple people (Smizzy, WT) have been around so hopefully it won't be a problem.

[fenwyr]

Yeah, really screwed the pooch with this one. Offline drafts are nearly impossible, and offline drafts over a holiday weekend is just assinine. Unless we can go to an online format and set an actual draft date and time, I'm out. 24 hour picks will take forever, and I just dont have the time to keep track of keepers and available players. This is supposed to be a fun distraction, not hard work.

Thanks, Hellcats.

I believe the offline is only for the first 2 rounds for the teams that need to get to the 6 keepers.
The main draft will be held online at espn.

Am I correct?

Right it is only these 2 rounds so don't complain as the weekend is already done.

Don't make the same mistake that I did. Apparently the offline portion is simply to fill out the rest of the keepers. Example: If you kept 4 players then you will have 2 offline picks to get your roster up to 6 players. If you have 5 keepers you will have 1 offline pick. If you have 6 keepers you will have no offline picks.

I believe once we finish these 2 rounds, which should take about a week, we are off the rest of the summer and then will have a live, online draft to fill out the rest of our rosters once every has 6 players on their team. It is not going to be 100% offline, because I had the same problem thinking it was going to take forever, be hard to track, etc. Let me know if you have any questions, or if that didn't make sense.

[Smizzy]

I select Anquan Boldin

[Rambo13]

Where's the commish at?? Shame on him for holding us up! :wink:

[wildthing2022000]

Trying to kill time so people won't complain about picking on the 4th.

[Rambo13]

Trying to kill time so people won't complain about picking on the 4th.

That's what I figured. It's probably a good idea.

I guess we will see your selection at 2:45 pm tomorrow.

[wildthing2022000]

I select Brett Farve.

[Rambo13]

Brett Favre? Didn't think people were breaking down fences to get to him...

Just messin WT :up:

[wildthing2022000]

^ Well I need a QB who can start all their games and it was down to him and Bledsoe and I went with Farve who had decent numbers despite the crappy year the Packers had. Just so the two guys who've yet to pick know I've already got my next guy selected so get going before I pick on Friday at 2:42 PM.

[MSUJet85]

I select WR Chris Chambers

[wildthing2022000]

I select WR T.J. Houshmandzadeh

[Smizzy]

I select RB Reggie Bush

[ScotsJet]

OK, so it's me now. I'll get back to you in 2 minutes...

[ScotsJet]

i'll take matt leinart qb, arizona

[Rambo13]

Rookies are flying off the board! :sad:
There is going to be no one left by the time I pick :rofl2:

[Drew]

I select RB Kevin Jones

[nyjunc]

I'll take Joseph Addai RB Indy.

[ButtleMan]

[wildthing2022000]

Renegades, please pick soon. :sad:

He made his pick WR Laveranues Coles. He sent me his pick thru PM yesterday.

[ButtleMan]

Okay
I will take Phillip Rivers.

[xxedge72x]

Andre Johnson - WR, HOU

[Rambo13]

Okay

Damn! I was hoping everyone forgot about him. He should be a great pick Buttle!

[eyedea]

pick : RB willie parker

[wildthing2022000]

only 2 people left to pick and anyone can go at anytime......

[Rambo13]

Yeah but Fenwyr has been MIA since his little spiel...

[twinjetfan]

I select Warrick Dunn.

[wildthing2022000]

Yeah but Fenwyr has been MIA since his little spiel...

and the off-line draft is over next will be to decide on a draft date.

BTW - Fenwyr has till draft day to make his picks or else he'll get back-ups that'll never play.:grin:

[wildthing2022000]

They won't let me add rookies so I'll try to adjust rosters accordingly afterwards. So you get to pick them first according to ESPN. So whoever took rookies will take them in the 6th round before the non-keeper picks so if you can't make it put your guy first on the pre-draft list. Don't complain it's just 3 people who took(Leinart, Bush, & Addai)

What happens if I add new teams to a keeper league? How will their draft work?
A: A keeper league draft will vary on how many keepers your league manager set to keep for the upcoming season. For example, if the league is set to keep three players, there will be three keeper rounds. These picks will take place in the first three rounds of the draft. The picks will be auto-selected automatically when the team is slated to pick.
For all new teams, the owner would receive a pick in each of these three rounds. They would be able to choose from the available player pool. These include all players not being used as keepers on other teams. Please keep in mind the keeper rounds do not use a snake-style draft format.

Q. Do we need to select keepers in our Standard Keeper Leagues from previous seasons?
A: Unlike previous seasons, we are no longer forcing team owners to select keepers from their previous team. If a team owner decides to not select any keepers, he/she will be able to draft from the available player pool. These include all players not being used as keepers on other teams. These teams will select their picks in the same rounds as the teams who are carrying keepers.

[Rambo13]

I think we just wait until Fenwyr comes back online and see if he still wants in otherwise we find a new owner and move on.

I didn't understand that. Im the Bush owner...How does this effect me?

[wildthing2022000]

When draft day comes you and the other 2 people who took rookies can take them right off the bat in the 6th round before everyone else goes in the 7th.

[Smizzy]

Thanks for the explanation WT.

[ScotsJet]

What if one of the three of us misses the draft, will this be handled for us?

[Rambo13]

Prerank your draft board and put your pick first.

[Smizzy]

I think it might be time to replace the Hellcats. He obviously doesn't care about his team or this league.

[Rambo13]

Send him a PM and find out if he wants in or not

[Smizzy]

Hey WT....

It looks like ESPN added the rookies. Go to the Players tab and the type Bush in. He is listed as a free agent without a ranking.

That's not the issue, they won't let me add rookies till after the draft.

5 days later and still no sign of him. He doens't want to be in this league.that much is obvious.

[fenwyr]

Sorry for having a life outside this board Smizzy (albeit complicated and sort of shitty ATM), but if I have not been replaced I still want in.

Where do I get the list of free agents to pick from? I'll try to go check the league page to see if this is more obvious than it seems...

[Rambo13]

I think at the moment you can pick from anyone on the ESPN.com fantasy football players page at our league site except Bush, Addai, and Leinart as they are rookies and could not be added to the team that selected them at this current time.

You have two picks to make so just scan over that list and post here who you want.

And in Smizzy's defense, you did peace out after your little rant for weeks without saying if you wanted out/in or when you'd be back etc. knowing your pick was coming up. Furthermore, you seemingly did not wait for a response to your opinion because if you had, this whole issue would have been averted.

[fenwyr]

You're right. No offense meant Smizzy. Some tough times going on here.

Anywho, I quit my job and left the link to the league page there. Any chance you could provide? Thanks.

[Rambo13]

it's on ESPN
go there and then fantasy football and log in, the league site should populate on your links once you log in.

Wow, it has been a tough month. Thanks for the spotlight on the obvious. :)

OK... My 2 from the free agent list (if nobody grabbed them)

DeShaun Foster - RB
Donte' Stallworth - WR

No one grabbed them yet, you are set, all rosters have 6 players.
