Live draft is certainly more excited and i would prefer it if most of us opt for it. But since we don't know each other personally, as a commissioner, i strive my best to keep it fair to every participants, not just fun amongst minority...So far this question is not raised and i am not informed enough that most of us actually want live draft and that we can find a time together for a live draft that takes about one to two hours. It's your say now..
Personally, i can attend live draft for the following time:
Hong Kong Time:
Saturaday 23 Oct 0700-0900
Sunday 24 Oct 0700-1200
I have been playing in another league since 2001 and been doing live draft every season. Each of team managers in that league took more than 1 minute, and up to 1.5 minute as it is the maximum allowed, for each pick. So we can estimate the total time needed based on that, and it would be 1 minute x number of picks x number of teams. But of course this is my only experience doing live draft and i guess we might be being very mindful.
BTW, i am planning to add roster spots if we ended up with fewer than 9 teams. I purpose adding one more center position which means we play 2 C, what do you guys think??
Since we have sonly 6 teams so far, i purpose adding one more G, one more F and one more C...or two utilities and one C...
Therefore we would have the flexibilty for every manager to implement their own strategies while limiting the size of the "fringe" player pool. Say, a "small" team which aims to dominate steal, 3 pt, FT%, assist...or a "big" team for blocks, rebounds, FG%, lower turnover...

Live Draft: Hong Kong time coming Sunday 24th, Oct 2010 11:00am
Anyone will come?? alternative time that you prefer?? If i don't hear from you and i will stick with autopick...
1. H2H -> Roto with standard categories
2. Autopick -> Live Standard Draft on Sun, 24 Oct 10am HKT (GMT+08:00)
3. Roster 2PG, 2SG, 2SF, 2PF, 2C, 3 Util, 2 bench
4. Max game: 82
This is the settings that we will be using throughout the season.
15*7 = 105 players being held at a time...not many as I considered...To me, playing more but not too many players actually means you are required to have extended knowledge in the fantasy game and the players. I believe this is the ultimate goal for playing this game and I will always try my best to reflect this on the games of which I found.
about 10 minutes before the live draft, a button or link will show up "enter draft", you click that thing and you will open a new windows and enter into the draft screen. But you've got to test whether the draft work for your browser first. The best bet is to do a mock draft..
it's quicker than i thought, you guys picked really quickly...and also we got some autopicking for 3 of us i guess....i hope you enjoyed the live draft and i can't wait for the season tip-off
Roto requires a more balanced team which can produce the best statistics across all counted categories within the maximum games allowed, whereas H2H requirse your team to win more categories than your opponent in a particular week without limit on number of game your team plays.
In other words, in our league, you don't have to be the 1st in all categories, you might possibily win it by being 3rd on every category.
