The first two leagues to get all their draft night polls in are D-II and Pro.

D-II: Sunday, 9/1 at 10pm Eastern/9pm Central/8pm Mountain/7pm Pacific
Pro: Tuesday, 9/3 at 9pm Eastern/8pm Central/7pm Mountain/6pm Pacific

Both slots had only 1 person for whom the time was not good but I put the time as close as possible to a green time for them so hopefully a half-hour or hour earlier will be something to which they can adjust.

Keeper is missing only 1 vote (Edit: *cough*Blacksheep*cough*) while Dynasty and D-I have 9 and 7, respectively. Speaking of Keeper, if you've sent me your keepers, I've made sure that they're on your rosters at ESPN. Please remember to log in over there and flag them at your earliest convenience so I can assign their auction values.

We're in the home stretch now, folks; let's wrap it up.

Thanks.

Edit: I've just added the drafts as events in the Steam Group so there will hopefully be a pop-up reminder (if your Steam client is running at the time, anyway). Let me know if you need/want an invite.

Sorry, I thought I had filled it out. I guess that I didn't do something right. I'm on it.

When is the twelfth person in division 2 going to claim their team? I would like to know what draft slot I have before I do my half-assed research.

Dynasty draft should be short. Lets just do this!

Keeper's draft is Saturday, 8/31 at 10pm Eastern/9pm Central/8pm Mountain/7pm Pacific

D-I has 8 votes and already no times will work for everyone. The best contenders (with only one dissenter in each) as of right now are Sunday at 9, Monday at 8, and Tuesday at 8, 9, and 9:30.

Dynasty has 9 votes. There's still 3 slots green but unfortunately, they're 8, 8:30, and 9 tomorrow night. If *Legion* and the rest of you want to go ahead and hurry that in, I'm not going to stop you; but I won't save you from your league-mates, either. As I've said before, he's the de facto Dynasty commissioner - I just push the buttons as needed.

It's shiiison, and I'd really like him to go ahead and get that done as well.

Note, like I said, there's only that one block that's still green (with 3 people still to vote) but there are plenty of other blocks with only one dot.

I can draft tomorrow night, and the draft will indeed be a short one. If there are no objections from other Dynasty owners, let's schedule it.

I'm in.

Dynasty owners, since we may be drafting tomorrow, please get your keepers marked tonight. Two team owners still have not selected keepers, and one hasn't even logged into Fleaflicker since the end of last year.

Time to get on the ball, people. Chop chop!

Well it seems like *Legion* and the boys are going to have themselves a draft tomorrow. That leaves only D-I with 4 voters still unrepresented. I will PM Chabuda, Bill_Bonney, Kush15, and cybardian now. Since the earliest best time based on current input isn't until Sunday (see above), I'll give them a couple days and say that voting will end about 48 hours from now (i.e. whenever on Thursday night I get around to checking in).

Edit: Remember that you can find the link to the (whenisgood.net) voting interface posted on the Fleaflicker message board for your particular league (linked in my sig below).

Ok my times are selected. Work this weekend so Sat and Sun are out.

I can't make Sunday nights DII draft but I will make sure my autodraft rankings are up to snuff. Pro I should be ok at least for the important rounds.

Dynasty owners, the draft is in 8 hours.

Make certain you have finalized your keepers by 7:00pm Eastern, as I will be running the "clear non-keepers" action to put non-keepers back into the draft pool.

Leap, you have not yet set any keepers at all, do so ASAP.

Can we get a ruling on LeapingGnome's keepers in dynasty? I'd hate to see a team essentially killed because we rushed into the draft but I need to set my rankings. I suggest just having Legion set them for him.

Well, there are two options if Leap does not show up.

Either I temporarily boot him from his team and set keepers for his roster myself (FF unfortunately has no commish-set-keeper function), or his whole roster goes back into the draft pool.

I'm hoping it does not come to that. Seeing as the latter would be the default do-nothing action, I'll ask about the other option: would there be any objections to me setting his roster's keepers?

I have both PM'd Leap here and used the FF message function to email him, so, hoping to get his attention before it is too late.

EDIT: So apparently co-commissioners can't remove owners, only commissioners can, so I'll have to bring Grump in to deal with this if it comes to it.

Not from me. I'm fine with that option.

Same here.

*Legion*, check the "Edit Rosters" functionality. There's some mention of keepers in there.

Edit: Digging a bit more, you may have to "Clear non-Keepers" and then use "Edit Rosters" to re-add Leap's keepers. That's probably better than kicking him out.

Edit2: This says, "E-mail us at [email protected] with the league and the team and the keepers and we'll take care of it." so that might be another option.

I'm pretty sure I submitted my timeslots, but I can't tell. Let me know if you don't have my preferences for D1

Could I get an invite to the steam group as well?

I think clear and re-add will probably be the way to go, rather than waiting for a support response.

Provided Leap doesn't set things himself, consider the following 18 marked as "keepers":

QB Josh Freeman
QB Philip Rivers
QB Carson Palmer
RB C. J. Spiller
RB Pierre Thomas
RB Jonathan Stewart
RB Cedric Benson
RB Kendall Hunter
RB Beanie Wells
WR Larry Fitzgerald
WR Percy Harvin
WR Antonio Brown
WR Chris Givens
WR Kenny Britt
WR James Jones
WR Sidney Rice
TE Jimmy Graham
TE Jason Witten

EDIT: I went ahead and emailed the support line anyway, asking for the above keepers to be set. If Leap shows up, he can tweak them, and if support doesn't respond fast enough, then I'll clear and re-add.

I'm fine with that as well. It's much better then the alternative.

I mistakenly placed Santonio Holmes on my active roster from the IR list, but I can't figure out how to place him back on IR. Am I being an idiot, and missing where this option is located?

Looks good, Legion. I'd definitely rather have his team retained instead of gutted. Would kinda kill the league if his team were gutted.

You can't. Santonio Holmes is not on IR (in NFL terms), therefore, you cannot move him from the active roster back to fantasy IR.

You would not have been allowed to keep Holmes in an IR slot going forward anyway. It would be an invalid roster once you tried to submit a week 1 lineup.

So, the answer is that I'm being an idiot?

I guess the PUP list doesn't count either, eh? Guess I'll have to carry Manningham on my current roster as well. So much for competing for the title this year!

Good news: FF support has set Leap's keepers.

Laarrs wrote:

This was actually something I had intended to bring up as a rule change. I think fantasy IR slots should accept both PUP and IR players.

I agree.

Fleaflicker requires Java to be installed for the draft room.

If you're like me and removed Java due to exploits you should probably install it before the draft starts.

It also doesn't have a fancy mobile app like ESPN and Yahoo. What was the reason behind using fleaflicker again? I know there was one, but I forget what it was.

I think the design of FF was simple enough that it runs easily in a phone web browser without the need for some secondary app?

Fleaflicker had an app previously, but they stopped supporting it this season.

Thanks for looking out for me guys. I don't really like that the draft is on the same day it was announced with barely a day's notice, I am unprepared! I did my cuts, but how do I set keepers?

I won't be on tonight at 9:00est, could have planned to make it with more notice. I'll try to gt home as soon as I can.
