Eeeeeenteresting. I'm El-ahrairah, but I'll probably change my team name to ufez during the draft for chatting purposes.

Just in case someone missed my note in the other thread, some have reported very long load times for Yahoo's draft app, so you all may want to start loading it early lest you wind up missing the first round or two.

Oh SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUURE it's "random", Mrs. #1 Pick.

I expect mudpuppie will be sniping me all draft.

How many times has the good sister had the #1? Three out of four? I actually prefer the find out when you get there thing, but I ended up with a good slot this year.

I'm not sure what that expectation is based on, but I'm pretty damn sure it'll come true.

Oh man. The best draft order I've had in years. But this is my first ever live draft and I have no idea WTF I'm doing. No. Idea. Should be interesting to watch me blow this opportunity, if nothing else.

Because you pick directly in front of me, pups.

posted by mike9322 03 September | 11:33

I swear I just did the randomizer once! (Mudpuppie had the #1 pick last year, I think. I don't think I've had it in this league before!)

posted by sisterhavana 03 September | 12:36

Wow, ufez isn't joking. I clicked the "test system" to see what he was talking about, and I've been staring at a "Connecting to server" screen for 10+ minutes. Give yourselves a lot of lead time getting into the draft.

Lame, yahoo!

posted by mike9322 03 September | 18:19

Ok but I don't see where to "get into the draft." (This is my first live draft, forgive me.)

posted by misskaz 03 September | 18:28

I think you can enter 30 minutes before, misskaz, so try again at 7 Central Time. There will be a big button on the league homepage that says something like "Enter Draft".

posted by ufez 03 September | 18:36

Ah, I thought it might be something like that. Just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing something obvious. Many thanks!

posted by misskaz 03 September | 18:38

Has anyone successfully "test[ed] your system"?

posted by mike9322 03 September | 18:46

Yeah, mike. It loaded fairly quickly too.

posted by danostuporstar 03 September | 18:51

FUCK.

"Your draft is loading now. A link to enter your draft will appear shortly."

posted by box 03 September | 19:01

Okay. Now I'm in. Doing nothing differently.

posted by mike9322 03 September | 19:01

It just worked for me.

Our draft is loading now!

posted by sisterhavana 03 September | 19:01

...and the draft is open! Just about 28 minutes til drafting time.

posted by sisterhavana 03 September | 19:02

Yup, I've got the draft screen open now.

posted by box 03 September | 19:03

Just a note - looks like Yahoo didn't take the draft order I put in. BOOO! It randomized.

posted by sisterhavana 03 September | 19:06

Great draft, good time had by all.
