Yes, you may auto-draft. I have tentatively set the keepers since the originial deadline had passed as Ryan Grant, Steven Jackson, and Marques Colston. However you could chose any you like and I (as league Commish) can set them up to an hour before the draft.

OK, I'm in.
But keep in mind, I really have no idea what I'm doing.
I'll do a little research, and let you know if I wish to change the Keepers, Kins.

Don't worry about it, dAN and jelerak have no idea what they're doing either.

Kins,

Can you post the draft order here. It doesn't show it anywhere on the site. I'm assuming it's the following:

1. Swamp Gators
2. Cleburne
3. Team Wiebe
4. New Mexico
5. Thundercrunch
6. Leviathan
7. Bunnies
8. Brinn
9. Pork Chop
10. Revelstone

Are you currently on British Summer Time, Cleburne?

wwp.greenwichmeantime.com/

Then you would be five hours ahead of Eastern Daylight Time.
The draft is at 5:00 pm EDT, right?
Making it 10:00 pm for you...

Same here, but as far as I can tell, it's my own fault in my case.

Kins,

What happened to the draft order? Doesn't look like reverse order of finish to me.

No offense, but that's why I asked you to confirm it according to the site several days prior to the draft.

P.S.
I'm not a big fan of ESPN's setup. Between the draft order getting screwed up and it not letting me in till the draft was 3/4ths over I am very disappointed. Seems like ESPN needs to make their interface a little more user friendly. Would a button that said "Enter Draft" be too much to ask for?!?!?!

Regardless, thanks for doing this again this year. It's a fun time.

I tried several times to set the order manually, considering it was set to "manually set by league manager" however it wouldn't allow it. I even called ESPN to try and resolve it but the guy I talked to may have been the single least helpful or interested person I have ever had the pleasure of speaking to on the phone.
At the end of the call he says "Is it that big of a deal?" I replied that no, it really wasn't....click.
Brinn you asked me on the 30th, ie not several days, and I don't check this that much, a pm would have been visible on my email.
Ultimately it appeared that the draft order wasn't significantly different with the exception of Christina being higher but I think we can all live with that.

Well, Brinn may be a big fat liar, but I honestly contacted you at least 0.0013 seconds before the draft to tell you I was unable to get in due to the fact that I had forgotten my account name and password, which is unacceptable, if for no other reason than I had several months to check my ESPN account prior to yesterday's draft. So, what do you have to say for yourself now?

(knocking on wood as I type this)

Ya'll notice that his may be one of the quitest preseasons so far in regards to injuries to fantasy starters?

There always has seemed to be at least a couple of major injuries to someone's high pick that has at least sidelined them for some duration to the start of the season, but so far that does not seem to be the case this year.

Wow...this has been about the quietest FFL board that I have ever seen!

I finally managed to get an even record...but I am getting slammed by byes this week.

Ahhh...but then I saw this week's (or weak's?) opponent. There's nothing like seeing Team Weibe in my sights to cure all of my fantasy football ills.

C'mon girlie...let's do this!
