What kind of league? Hosted where? I'm interested, but I'm not sure how many drafts I can handle.

I think the type is going to depend on how soon we can get teams. If we can by the end of this week, we probably can do a message board draft or figure out a live draft time on the weekend. If it takes us to the very end, I don't know. Worst case we just don't start week 1 I guess.

Probably have to do a live draft Corey. Fastest I've ever seen a MB draft run with an EXTREMELY dedicated group is 1 rd/day. 2 weeks minimum for a standard league. I don't see that happening, normal draft speed is 1/2 to 1/3rd that rate.

And the league is on NFL.com with standard NFL.com rules for anybody interested.

I've never done one on NFL.com. How well does it run on gameday with live updates? I usually track games on NFL.com, which usually runs pretty well, but can get bogged down.

I probably can't do a weekend live draft (could rank and auto pick, though). MB wouldn't work for me, because next week I'll be in a classroom instead of my office, so I'd slow it down.

NFL.com has a nice game-day tracker. And being the official site, they will have links to highlight videos for many of the point plays (long TD catch, big run, etc).

We will most likely have a live draft due to time constraints, so be ready to set your ranks appropriately. That will be finalized once we have enough people.

I say we close it at 12 and go from there, 14 is going to be hard for people to play running backs.

We need to schedule the draft. Any day after 8:30pm should work for me. Earlier just won't work, especially this weekend, but I am willing to let my team be autodrafted if need be. I just need a chance to set my rankings.
