Perfect. Let me know if you were able to. I thought I was in (original post) and I didnt see the private message you sent me, I just knew I had to login to this site today to draft.

Won't let me add anyone well draft is in progress.

So I got the boot? LOL

wow, impatient much? i go to work and im auto-drafted 5 rounds. its understandable that its such a rush, i mean the season starts in a month. Cussing douches

Hey sens4win and everybody in the draft, I suggest that we restart this whole thing. My picks were fine up until I got Cussing Andrew Brunette and Tim Connolly, and I was never on autopick.

So I suggest we restart the whole thing, invite straight shooter in as well.

and people like Garblar, Marakh, and wprager were also screwed over so I think it's time to shut it down and reboot.

We have lots of time to restart it and I think it would might be better to draft on the forums

I managed to pick 4 of the 6 players I have. Miko Koivu was an alright pick, even if not what I'd have gone for, but Jussi Jokinen one pick later? I've got him projected to 57 points (Koivu was 71). Hell, I would sooner take a gamble that *Olli* Jokinen rebounds to his Panthers form.

The problem for me was the randomness. I understand if someone is away from the draft for hours, but since there was never a time (other than 12:05, 10PM, 6PM and 6:15 the first day) then how do you know when you've waited too long for someone?

If this is restarted, here's what I'd suggest:
1. Contact the site admins to find out just what prompted the auto-picker and how it can be avoided. I don't mind putting a few players in my queue when my turn is coming up, but I'm not going to pre-rank 350 players and *hope* that the autopicker implements a reasonable strategy.
2. Figure out a time during the day when everybody can make it, or a reasonable approximation. Lunch hour is good for most people -- even students should be able to find a wifi hotspot somewhere. I'm just picking number out of my head, but 12-2PM, 10PM -- if everyone commits to be around those times, we can go quickly in bursts.

lunch hour is no good for me. my work doesn't involve computers. the best time for me is 7PM till 9PM.

i could live with the current draft, but then again nothing has been picked for me.

Ya this should be restarted sorry guys, I had no clue, along with others that the qeue was going to do that. I my self got selanne antropov and afineganov (Who is on no team). Problem is I think we rushed into it. The time limit will be 10 hours (not sure if that is to much) starting around 7 or 8 or 9 or 10 tomorrow that way its a full business day.

makes sense...

was the selection order re done as well? sucks for people like Wrager who showed that Gonchar was going to be picked in the 1st round...

This is Cussing ridiculous. So I lost all the players that I had and now I'm sure to have a significantly weaker team. This is balls.

Everyone take the time to learn the software. Auto-pick worked every time for me like a charm.

Hey man I had a great team as well with Ovechkin, but I'll suck it up and take one for the team.

I'm fine with restarting too but no more restarts.

Hey all, I'm stupidly slow getting here, but can I still get in on the league?

I've created my Fantrax user but just need to join before you guys start the draft over

If this restarts again, I'm out for sure.

Yeah, how hard is it to get the auto-picks going or using the 10 HOURS between picks that everyone has? I'm already fed up and we haven't even drafted yet.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not upset, it's great that S4W is doing this, I just want to do it, have my picks and prepare to battle it out with everyone.

I don't know what to say, I apologize for complaining there, but I want to get it done!

I can redo the selection oder if you want.

then leave... its not my fault, Ya i restarted i felt bad for the people getting auto picked people like jokinen in the 3rd round and it was just stupid, im not happy we have to restart but hey what ever, im not restarting again i just think everyone should watch who they are auto picking.
