The Sigil
Mr. 3000 (Words per post)
Okay, folks, this is the thread to make your "official" draft picks for the ENWorld Yahoo Fantasy Basketball Draft... the rules are as follows:
1. Please confine this thread to making your picks only; commentary et al should go on the "main" thread. If you make a "during the draft" trade, however, you may post it to this thread.
2. No editing of posts (to avoid accusations of impropriety). The exception is this first post which will be updated only with a list of who has been drafted.
3. Please try to check in at least once per day; I will e-mail you if I notice that you are up as a friendly reminder (unless you tell me not to). If possible, check in two or three times a day to keep things moving quickly, but this is not required.
4. Right now, I'm going to hope there's enough interest not to need a specific time limit, but if things start to drag, I may impose a 24-hour time limit (except on Sundays, when I'm not around to be online much and can't enforce that limit). If we have to have a time limit and the "buzzer goes off" you will simply be skipped and can "insert" your pick later at any time (though you cannot pick someone who has been picked in the interim). If you have been skipped once and haven't picked by the time you would be skipped twice, you will automatically be given the highest-rated player (by Yahoo) left on the board (i.e., you can only have one "skipped, floating pick" at a time).
More to be posted if I think of it. The team slated to pick as of my last update will be bolded and italicized in the draft order. If they've posted to the thread with their pick, and you're next, feel free to jump in and add your own afterwards (repeat as necessary between my updates).
