So, now we need to come up with a way to decide the draft order. The default is based on when you signed up. We could

A) Keep things as they are
B) Choose a different method

I would like to hear some suggestions as to how we can do this if your answer is B. Please post your ideas in this thread. One that has already been sugested is that I pick names out of a hat.

Once I've gotten a couple suggestions, I'll set up a poll.

Thanks

Picking names out of a hat seems fair. I think you should give me the #1 pick though.

Alright so I just realized today that there is going to be a major issue with us drafting at 11PM ET tomorrow. Basically, nba.com doesn't give you flexible draft time. The draft times available are pre-arranged, unlike the yahoo fantasy draft. Basically, you can only choose from a list of provided draft times. I apologize for this - I should have realized this earlier.

The original draft time was set for 10PM ET tomorrow but most people said that it was inconvenient for them. As a result I have not included 10PM ET tomorrow as an option.

That being said, there is no draft slot available for 11PM ET tomorrow. I'm guessing most people would prefer to draft in the evening/night So basically, here are the open draft slots for the next few days on nba.com

- Since on Thurs, Fri & Sat draft slots are only open until mid afternoon I suggest we don't draft on any of these days.
- Sunday 9/24/2006 @ 11 PM ET
- Monday 9/25/2006 @ 11PM ET

Once again, I'm really sorry for the inconvenience. Please vote on the draft time.

Hey all,

The draft order has been decided. It was done by pulling names out of a hat and was done fairly. I typed up all the team names, cut them into equal sizes, folded them into equal sizes and put them in a little bin. Thats how the order was decided.

This new draft order should be reflected on the leauge page. I will also send out emails.

* Please PM or write in this thread if you have any issues.

Draft Order:

1. De-Jello-Is-Jiggalin
2. Onepinoyboy8
3. Dream Team
4. 81Reasons2Hate
5. Team Taco
6. LA Lakers
7. Kareem of the Crop
8. LAObserver
9. Showtime Lakers
10. REBIRTH
11. Commish Kem

lol
12. OC Lakers
13. LakersForTheWin
14. Roadrunners
15. LakersInFour
16. OCLakers

LOL, just what I was thinking. Oh well, I guess I won't be getting Kobe in my league.

Does the draft selection order reverse in every round? It's going to be a seriously uneven draft if it doesn't. I guess we'll find out at 11PM EST.
