this kinda sucks for those of us already in the league.[/quote:7a0740a484]
Well, I'll tell you, this whole live draft thing sucks, period. I saw the discussion about whether there were 16 or 18 picks in the draft, and that there were only 16. But then I noticed there were 18 slots set up on the draft site so I figured that was the final word and I set up my stadium proxy for round 17. Then I find out after somebody already made a round 17 pick that there are, in fact, only 16 rounds. This after we waited for half a week for someone to show up to draft. If I never do another one of these it will be too soon.
Hey, but other than that, I'm fine with it.

Well in my defense is that the draft waited two days because I ran out of proxies. I think that is damn good since i had proxies pick from rnd 5 to rnd 15. Also this is nothing against the two people who could not start the draft until Sunday, thus we lost 2-3 days there.

It's nobody's fault. I've used MajD's site quite a few times, and I don't think I could've proxied up as well as lucky did.
It's just the nature of the beast...a quick live draft is the exception rather than the rule.
And let's try to remember that we were pretty much picking through the scrap heap at the end, as least as far as position players go. I don't think any difference makers could've been drafted, except maybe in middle relief.

My unfortunate experience is oftentimes someone in the west waits to be sure they're available when the waive wire is done rather than going in as soon as the division is up. Hopefully that's not the case here.
