    Back home in Cronulla now and starting to saddle my Fantasy horses :) Draft date for this one will be the week before R1, Tuesday 11th March at 9.00pm AEDT 15 man squads playing 3-3-1-3/5 config Live snake draft with 60 secs between picks No captain option No rolling lockdown. Trying to keep it simple, we already have enough going on, the format depends on the number of teams, as below: - With 6 teams we will play each other head to head 4 times, skip byes, no finals, first past the post. - With 8 teams we will play each other head to head twice, skip byes finals R18 - With 10 teamswe will play each other head to head twice, skip byes, no finals, first past the post - With 12 teamswe will play each other head to head twice, play through the byes, no finals, first past the post

    Draft......any chance at all we can push this a couple of hours? Or would starting at 930pm be too restrictive? How long does the draft take ? Just thinking ahead. Tuesday 11th March at 730pm is Tuesday morning, 3.30am for me.

    Am in favour of a small 'bump' in time (say to 9pm AESDT) which is 11pm here (and I think 5am sNoZ time). Club night at bridge and I should be home by that time. Does that work for you TiB?

    9 pm Australian Eastern Standard Dream Team would be about 5 pm here as the crow flies sans state jumper. Moving to a new campus it is trickier for me out of working hours but it can, and will, be done.

    If Chris isn't I'd really like one more, the 8 team format is the peach for SC draft for mine..

    K, league settings nailed. 8 teams, H2H, no captains, no rolling lockout. 15 man squad, playing 3-3-1-3, 5 on the bench Auto emerg on Waivers yes, last pick to bottom. Up to 5 players involved in a trade, league approved. Draft starts 9pm AEDT, 60 seconds to take a pick, snake order. Just hit the randomise button for order and it is; Birdsville FC(Jason)[span class='Apple-tab-span] 1[span class='Apple-tab-span]
    Head 'n' Shoulders(Matthew)[span class='Apple-tab-span] 2[span class='Apple-tab-span]
    thekidsarealright(graeme)[span class='Apple-tab-span] 3[span class='Apple-tab-span]
    simonozdraft(simon)[span class='Apple-tab-span] 4[span class='Apple-tab-span]
    The Misfits(Len)[span class='Apple-tab-span] 5[span class='Apple-tab-span]
    Nomad Wildebeest(Dean)[span class='Apple-tab-span] 6[span class='Apple-tab-span]
    Relton's Revenge(Terry)[span class='Apple-tab-span] 7[span class='Apple-tab-span]
    Anchor and Hope FC(Mike)[span class='Apple-tab-span] which is a bit of a pain, I was at 8 before I did it and I think that the double pick spots are juicy, anyway, it is what it is :) Will use this thread for league discussion and dissing in general...

My guess is that the ORFFASC Draft willfinish between 6.15 am and 6.30 amNew York time.
