We weren't able to use the full version of this last year, but damn, this is good stuff. WAY better than StatsLab. Full Supplemental draft support. Expanded views directly in the utility. I think you'll like it.

We'll start a 4 hour clock on Monday, January 2nd at 8:00am Central.
We'll move to a 2 hour clock for Round 2.

EBA draft coming soon.

Looks like a strong draft class this year. See? It was only one bad year.

I noticed the markedly stronger overall class, too...at least at the top. I need to dig a little deeper, but my 2nd rd pick last year was really a toss up...doesn't look like that will be the case this time.

Having a hard time deciding who to rank #3. Great problem to have.

Does this mean its open now untimed? Or do we start the 2nd?

Mmm Thats what I thought. I can do a list but can't see a button to press top make the pick.

With 8 selections to go before my first round pick, I am anxious to see which players start to go off the board....

I don't know - Atlantic City's up. Jeff, did it email you?

Has anyone gotten emails yet?

Al-Hoot · Post by **Al-Hoot** » Thu Dec 29, 2011 10:12 am

I have received an email each time the draft was "stuck" waiting for the next manual pick.
The subject line of each one has listed the next five teams to draft.

So the latest email was entitled:
MBBA Draft Update - ATC, LOU, HAW, GRE, WAS

So, *cough cough* ATC and LOU...

Now remember, there is no official clock until Jan 2nd at 8am central, so let's not get too "pressure-y".

ATC needs a Membership Director meeting.

My *cough cough* was not meant to be pressure-y. I guess I forgot the

.

But with the draft in progress almost a week before the official clock, and only two teams ahead of us, I was displaying an anticipation for who our top pick might be, just as others who have already drafted have done.

Apologies to Nick (LOU), I was just *coughing* in the spirit I explained above. And honestly after only a year here & and with GM turnover, I can't always keep straight which GMs are active on the boards and otherwise on top of things, which you obviously are.
