Time to start also discussing draft times. I think a good time to do it would be the week before the season so I am looking at Monday August 26th - Friday August 30th. I guess we could do a weekend draft but week nights seem to always work the best. I find that after the 3rd preseason game is usually the best time to draft cause camp injuries slow way down |

The closer to the season the better. |

Then one would be SOL if their QB got injured or has a bye. I dunno, I liked it like last year with 2 QB's You can still have two QBs on your team, you should only be able to start 1. There aren’t even enough top tier QBs for everyone to land one already, so some poor team would end up with nick foles and Joe Flacco while some other dude has cam newton and Patrick mahomes. You can mitigate the points from one of those dudes with other players, but if someone is able to start both of them you’re fucked. Yeah, I thought of that after I initially posted. I'd be cool with 1 QB; just gotta take him early enough... |

The closer to the season the better. I've got Fridays off, so I'd be down for a draft on either Thu/Fri/Sat. night. |

Any night works for me pretty much! Remember how fast last year's went? It'll go quickly.

I went ahead and set the draft for Thursday August 29th at 8 PM. This is just a feeler time. I want everyone to be able to be there live, so if you have any issues with that please let me know.

I'm with you on this. I vote for 1 starting QB for each team. You may have a good point. With 8 teams, it was likely you were going to find at least 16 great/good/serviceable quarterbacks. I think just inching that upwards to 20 (plus everyone claiming a backup and making the bye weeks hell) is probably close to impossible. I hadn't really considered it now. Thanks for pointing that out. I'll almost certainly change it. Would you like to shrink the roster by 1 in total, or shift that slot to something else? Personally, I didn't mind the 2 QBs, because if one QB did literally shit the bed points wise that week, the other could typically pick up slack. If we don't have 2 QBs then I want an extra flex spot back if possible to help offset this. With regards to a draft time, Friday August 30th is definitely a no-go for me as I will be out of town camping. Any of the other nights should work as my schedule stand currently. |

Can you do the night before, Thursday the 29th? |

I like this Thursday slot perfectly. I hope we can stick to it.

Looks like it'll be 1 QB and 2 Flexes. When it comes to Flex position there will be undrafted sleepers to pick up weeks into the season. That's never the case at the QB position haha. I think it's perfect as is. Should make for some good competition. |

Must I be live for this? I don’t really even know much about it anyway, so I don’t really have too much worry about who I have. I will have started my new semester teaching in the school in China and I will be on the clock during the proposed times.  |

No, as with every fantasy football drafts you can essentially set up a "wish list" of players who you'd like to draft and even set them in order of how high of a priority they are to you. When the draft does happen, the "wish list" that you have will automatically take effect and it'll pick the player you have in the 1 slot, and then the 2 slot, and so on and so forth; if anyone who picks before you has selected a player in your list, then your "wish list" will move on to the next player in your list according to your priorities, so it's best to have a nice sized "wish list" to choose players from. |

Yeah stringypoo you really want to set up your draft list in advance, and make sure to rank (or exclude) players as well as you can, if you can't be there. I've had drafts of all kinds, live and auto, and i've also missed drafts before. It's usually not the end of the world, but it'll hurt you if you haven't prepared for it. One time i missed it but made sure to do a lot of work beforehand in ranking who i wanted and didn't want, and ended up with a real good squad. One time, though, i missed it and didn't do any of that prep, and ended up with a bunch of guys on IR, a running back still holding out the season, and overrated players. It ruined the year. tl;dr, take like 20-30 minutes at least to get on the site and put your list together. |

Sounds good, is there any new rule changes to scoring or anything are we just standard?
