Draftwise, it really would need to be sometime during the weekend for me. It's really impossible to do it on a weekday combined with work.
Fucking europeans and their timezones right? :D

I assume this is after the rosters are suppose to be completed ;)
I don't have anything to say on either, myself. I think in both cases 95% of what's happening is invisible to us, I think no matter what I say I'll look like an idiot later.
But I've VERY amused that the NHL's bid is a very conditional "oh yeah you better overpay for a new lease or we're moving the team next year, too. Surprise!"
EDIT: But personally I'm just looking for my "The Heat is Gone" headline because I am BORED of Media Wars: Heatley Edition and am ready for him to remember he's a good player.

That draft is not final, but i want it to be in and around that day.
In terms of moves, here is the system:
We keep 5 moves per week. We also keep 100 moves total for Vineon. However, the rest of us make a gentlemans agreement not to go above 50 moves, or you will be castrated by the community. This gives vineon an average of 4 moves per week and the rest of us an average of 2 moves.
Trade deadline is as late as i could set it.
Divisions will be 2 divisions of 6 with the winners of each getting a bye, and the other 4 slots decided simply by record.
Everything else is the same as last year, including trade vetos.
Again we should make a chart for when everyone can draft!
And lastly here is the final list of 12 people playing:
Jackal
Teifu
Carl
gr33n
Aldaron
WER
zerowing
Psycho
CaptainKishimoto
Vineon
Justin8649
Eraddd

A few things on divisions...
Do we want to just randomize divisions, or do we want to have some sort of logic in determining them? Since most of the competitors have played before (just the three newbies) we could snake by win% or average finish or something... like have a 1-4-5-8-9-new and 2-3-6-7-new new division to try to keep things fairly even. I think if we're doing the divisions it'd be more fun to keep them consistent as we can every year, so starting with some semblence of balance between them might be a good idea. I can math this out if you want. This would insure for the most part that we don't have a joke division, which I think was most of what those of us who were iffy about divisions were concerned about anyway.
I'm fine with the current draft date/time, and as aldaron posted in the league thing I'd want it to be sooner than the 28th if we change it. Also, do we have a final decision on keepers?
EDIT: Here are the lists for what (regular season because I'm lazy) win% and overall finish end up giving us as far as rankings. I doubt either accurately tier the players but it gives a general balance which is probably as good as we're going to get. I *ed people who have actually won the league because that's worth something that the numbers don't indicate, I'd say.
Numbers need to be updated for 2006, I only have Jackal's numbers in right now. A couple people (ZW and WER, I think?) played that year, right? Someone should tell me who they were so I can fix my numbers...
(By Regular Season Win%)
Teifu .622 (241-146)
Gr33n .608 (233-150)
*Jackal .568 (335-254)
*Aldaron .560 (109-84)
Vineon .555 (108-84)
*Carl .545 (201-184)
Psycho .494 (189-193)
zerowing .477 (190-198)
WER .445 (170-212)
(By Finish)
*Aldaron 1.0 (2008 - 1st)
Gr33n 3.0 (2008 4th, 2007 2nd)
Vineon 3.0 (2007 3rd)
Teifu 3.0 (2008 2nd, 2007 4th)
*Jackal 3.666 (2008 5th, 2007 5th, 2006 1st)
Psycho 5.0 (2008 3rd, 2007 7th)
*Carl 5.5 (2008 10th, 2007 1st)
zerowing 7.0 (2008 6th, 2007 8th)
WER 9.5 (2008 7th, 2007 12th)
Couple ties in finish we'd have to sort out if we used it, I intentionally removed ties in Win% because it's an irrelevant number by both win% and point percentage.

4. *Aldaron
5. Vineon
8. zerowing
9. WER
NEW_PERSON
2. Green
3. *Jackal
6. *Carl
7. Psycho

1. *Aldaron
4. Vineon
5. *Jackal
8. zerowing
9. WER

2. Teifu
3. Gr33n
6. Psycho

Oh Say Can Jussi is Justin8649
WWJTD is presumably WER
< MF'ing Yoda and Shit.
Anyway, date for the draft time is fine, just would be perfect to have it 5 hours later, got a housewarming party of a friend of mine at that time which i dont want to skip. So rather get back late (5 hours from current set time) and draft drunk.
Should give you guys a fair advantage, and think the time in america would still be easily manageable:)

I just joined right now, and I just realized that the drafts for each league I'm in are 30 minutes apart =3
what would john tavares do
this is not a name to be taken seriously but then again why take anything seriously
later ~~~

The schedule is fine whenever there is an even amount of players in the league, like I said before, I doubt you need to worry about it.
Seems like a couple hours earlier on Saturday or moving the draft to Sunday would work out better for most people?
EDIT: Not sure about the playoff thing though, none of my publics have Playoffs visible so I can't see if it's an issue with the default as well... hope it's not a scheduling issue because of the olympics truncating the season a bit, lol.

Should I piss off WER and draft Tavares first round? ;)
