Inaugual Draft

[mstreeter06]

We are finally close enough to begin our league's inaugural draft to fill our rosters (ML team and 4 minor league levels)!

I'll do my best to work on getting Statslab setup and configured for the league so we can start our inaugural draft. I plan to draft 10-25 rounds live and then CPU the remaining rounds so we can get started.

Until I get Statslab setup (should be later today assuming work stays calm), we can start drafting here in this thread on the forum and I'll enter whatever results we have then continue the draft in the Statslab utility with a time-limit on each pick of TBD hours (4-12 hour time limit?).

The Oregon Explorers are free to make their selection followed by the North Carolina Aviators and then the New Jersey Athletics.

I won't be making my selection until statslab is up - as I don't have OOTP14, I have no means to sort players etc before then.

Understandable. I'll hopefully have it up and going today.

I am available to pick #1 overall... if that helps anyone

Even more tension around the first pick now... slugger, contact and speed man or ace pitcher?

With the help of Chappy's wizard skills, we finally have the Statslab OOTP Online Utility setup and configured for the league. This is where we will hold our inaugural draft and future amateur drafts. Also, from here you could run your team using the online reports and the forum for instructions.

Head to the Statslab link and login in for the first time. The default password is 'baseball' (no quotes). Once you get into Statslab, go to the draft section and this is where you'll find your team's war room and draft board. If you have any questions about this, post here or send me an email.

We will draft with a 120-minute time limit on your picks that runs from Monday to Friday that will start at 8am CST and end at 8pm CST. The timer will pause on the weekends and you can always make your pick whenever it gets to you if it is out of the time range or on the weekend.

We will open the draft without a clock until Thursday, May 23rd at 8am CST so everyone has a full 24 plus hours to get this message and have a chance to check out Statslab with the draft pool. Yuda's Oregon Explorers are now up and their clock will officially begin on the 23rd at 8am CST but is free to pick when ready. North Carolina and New Jersey are on deck.

Thanks guys and we continue to get closer to starting our first season. I'm working on getting logos and graphics to show correctly in Statslab and the HTML online reports so just some patience with that.

Nice selection for #1 overall in AFBL history. He should be a stud pitcher especially with his young age.

Pick submitted.

Nice pickup, was hoping he'd last until pick #3 as he came out on top of my SP analysis. He'll be winning you a lot of games no doubt.

Glad to see it going. I will try to keep an eye for my picks. Is Trading picks allowed?

FYI there are a lot of broken links to images in statslab because OOTP14 puts some of the images in a different location than v13 did... hopefully that will get fixed soon.
