A point of clarification please Len. This is a slow draft, not the hurried, auto computer pick after 60 seconds. Rather the time for a glass of red and a little reflection and banter between picks style? If so, count me in.
The draw starts this Friday at 5pm with a 1 day auto pick active. ........as stated by Len above in the rules, for those who may have had a red or two already today
I should have added an annotation: * This comment is meant with all the love I can muster for any geriatric who cares to read it, assuming they can read it of course.......

It's officially Wednesday in most of the world now, so.. We currently have 6 ORFFA coaches signed up, and one from the ORFFU who asked to be considered giving us 7. I'll send Tylo the code when I get home, any other coaches from the ORFFU or ORFFL that would like to be involved please flick me a PM, I will try to follow up this with a quick post on the other boards tonight but am a little pressed for time.
No worries With 12 teams the best option for year 1 appears to be play through the byes and play each team twice, EPL style winner. (Given it's a keeper league drafting for byes is irrelevant, we all face the same demon) Once we have tasted it we can talk about if that (or anything else) needs to change for the following year, given our leagues are in hiatus in this period it can help keep us keen..Keen to keep this relaxed and simple. Have sent out the 11th code, awaiting a confirmation before sending the 12th and completing the league.

You did indeed TiB, you did indeed. We were all excited to be #2 to (perhaps) benefit after you picked Travis B.

That will leave around 23 and a half hours to make your pick! You know your always welcome here in ORFFA land Jason.
