Quote:"1. The first order of business is determining how and when to do the draft. I have proposed the aggressive plan of doing this in three separate rapid fire rounds (each 96 minutes in length).  I think it can be done if planned properly.  The issue is..  getting 32 people on the same page across time zones.  We have GMs on the east coast, the west coast and abroad.  If we cannot come to an agreement on a date and time which work for the majority of GMs, we can try to do this the slower way (of which I have previously expressed my misgivings).  The good news is we have some real flexibility on our side as we do not have the same deadlines as 32 NFL teams do.  That said, my first proposal would be to do this on three consecutive Saturdays at 12:00 pm EST.  This would be 9:00 am PST and dinner time for our European GM."

 

That was early in the thread.

 

After Kotite got further input,  including from me,  most people that responded preferred 3 consecutive Sundays.   I know I couldn't make it during the day on Saturdays and would have had to provide a list if I was going to participate.

 

The bottom line is after today,  there were only 2 more weekends before the draft.    It didn't seem like the people responding this morning before I responded seemed comfortable with not knowing what was going on.   That's why I decided to recommend HIGH SCORE to keep the ball rolling.     Kotite was a great help in getting everything going in that we were able to take more steps today.   In essence,  it was a team effort.
