| Message | What's with the video on the main page, I don't have access to it and I have no idea what it is. As for the draft I would like to use skype along with the CBS draft so at least we can talk throughout the draft, I'm not sure if that was everyone elses plan or not I'm just saying |

| Message | Tim, Rob where we planning on doing this draft. If we do it at one of your houses I need a computer to be able to draft at. I dont have a laptop to work at so I would need a desktop computer to work on.... |

| Message | the clock resets to ten seconds every time there is a bid, so my 1,2,3 count concerns are addressed... noel and harold to advise what auction set up they'd like to use. |

| Message | The time limit between picks usually isn't a big deal on most pools i have been in, but on those pools you can make roster changes throughout the year, where as ULB we only get the one real time roster substitution, and the midseason draft to get rid of guys you are 'stuck' with...having said a real time auction would probably be more preferable. The skype setup would be ideal, however if it is choppy and cuts out a lot (I don't use skype much so I don't know), then it sounds like it would just be a big hassle. I guess we could consider adding in an extra substitution or two maybe to account for getting stuck with somebody, or everybody could just be a bit more prepared? Whatever the case, we are all in the same boat. Perhaps everybody will just have to be a bit more decisive with their picks if the time limit thing is going to be a factor. |

| Message | I use Skype quite a bit now and I think it would prove terribly annoying when it drops the call every 10 minutes and we have to back up or stop and wait or just miss bidding on that player entirely. For two managers to be skyping just increases the annoyances. |

| Message | i asked CBS if we could do an auction and then just delete it and start over (ie mock auction)... to try it out.. if i get the go ahead i'll set up the mock for an eve this week. if there's a 3,2,1 count, maybe we can compromise with longer nomination times and time outs? i know i can pause the auction at any time and back out players. noel, i was remembering how crappy skype can be at times with a lag, just when talking to family.. i cant imagine auctioning off ~120 players with a half second lag and choppy video? it seems like we need a trial on both systems. |
