The draft is currently set for Monday, August 23rd at 8:00 PM EST (right as Monday Night Raw begins). This date hasn't been finalized yet and is subject to change, though it'll likely be on a Monday night. -------------------------- This is my one and only thing to ask about since I watch RAW. Why have it right as RAW starts? Are you bucking for a Ratings War? Why a Monday night? Is that when everyone is free? If it's a Monday Night why not before RAW begins or after it ends? (Though after it ends might be late for some peeps).

(Though after it ends might be late for some peeps). That's when Wrestlecrap's Yahoo League (not the "OFFICIAL" one RD & Blade were in and would discuss, but one for just the forum regulars) would hold their draft. I wasn't the commish of that league, but my perception of it was the most busy time on the forums barring special events (PPVs, E3 conferences, etc.) would be during Raw (even the swap over from Wrestlecrap to FAN didn't change that). So the idea would be since there's that many people on the forums, that would be the time most people would be available (not at work or running errands or something). And it's just kinda stuck every year onward. I'd kicked around the idea in the earlier years of the FAN league of a Saturday or another day of the week, and it'd pretty much be met with "Nah, Monday's fine". I'll admit it's been a few years since I opened the floor to discussing making it a different day.

I can just have it on as the draft goes. I just thought it'd be good to double check with everyone else too. Wouldnt want too many people auto picking.

And the league is set!!!
I'll be recording the draft lottery tonight and that'll go up Saturday at 12:00 noon EST.
Also, the schedule in the league will be shuffled. Yahoo has it defaulted to go in order by when everyone signed up, so it'll be shuffled. I'll be doing that Saturday as well, likely when the draft lotto goes up.

9th isn't terrible. I kinda hoped I'd get a middle of the pack pick because you aren't waiting forever to pick again.

Apparently 35% don't even watch raw.

I just thought it'd be good to double check with everyone else too. Wouldnt want too many people auto picking. Are Mondays still busy? Apparently 35% don't even watch raw. I've always just stuck with that day/time for traditions sake; it's always worked in the past (the most we've ever had NOT be available by the time it started was two people, one of them was just a couple minutes late and got in by their pick, and the other said in advance they couldn't make it), so I've hesitated to mess with it. If it wasn't a couple weeks out until the draft I'd be open to changing the date, but I know some people have made arrangements and I'd hate to change the date now. With that in mind, next year I'll start the thread up a little earlier and we can discuss a few things in the league before I officially "create" the league and set everything in place.
