Ya I have the same problem with FF. Downloaded chrome just to try it, and same deal. I have a crappy ISP here at work, but I was having the same problem at home where I typically have ~12 Mbps.

I basically gave up on setting up an exhaustive draft board and I'm going to roll the dice that I can be around for a lot of my picks.

I would suggest changing the players listings to be by position rather than one long list. For instance, if I really want a QB in round three it should be simple for me to look and see what QB's are still available so I can determine which ones to target.

With a huge, long list I'm practically guaranteed to miss an attractive drafting target and end up with a lesser team.

Ya, but it's just so hard to know what I will want. If there's an insane run on QB's, you could be stuck with Tyler Palko if you wait until the 3rd round.

If possible to add this functionality, I think it would be very helpful if we could put a number next to the players on our draft board to represent their priority, rather than having to click the up or down arrows many times.

Then set up a draft board for that round with several different positions. I.E. If Cassel gets drafted here than I want Steve Breaston. If Breaston gets drafted than I want Ricky Stanzi. (Yes I realize that no one in their right mind would draft in this kind of order just using Chiefs for examples).

In the current listing you may not realize that Breaston was still available because you didn't go looking specifically for his name. Therefore, you end up with Stanzi instead of your top choice which would've been Breaston. (Assuming Cassel was drafted in the round of course).

First thoughts.

It's a little clunky to set your draft board, specifically, I don't like that it resets the order of the names list after every move. Also, in a perfect world, there would be some stats from the previous year, position rankings last year?

The other consideration.....is this a single year roster? Are we building a dynasty team? IS there a salary cap or any considerations like that?

Anyone in any of the other leagues who wants to move up and take my team? I gotta back out. I'm not going to have the time for this.

I have my first three rounds ready to go.

It takes a long while.

I'm trying to do my real job today, so I won't be on much until evening. However a quick mid-day update.

1. To find all of the QBs, type "qb" in the search box above the player lists. The search function is good and fast because the page doesn't have to reload. This will at least make it easy to find players.

2. Yeah, the draft board sucks. In development mode I was running with a test database of about 10 or 15 players on my localhost and it ran great. Not so much with 1800 players and going through a shared host and networks. It is going to need some kind of rework, but it will probably take a few days, maybe longer.

3. Email notification is close to being done. I should have that working tonight. So that will help with manually drafting during working hours.

4. I'm considering not advancing who is on the clock between midnight and 6:00 AM Central time. You could still draft, but your time slot would not expire during those hours. Honestly, after the first 5 rounds or so, I don't think it will matter that much if you miss a couple of slots. I'm a little worried about getting that coded correctly on short notice and it will significantly slow down the draft. I'm really on the fence on this one. What do you think?

5. If we need to extend the draft by a week or two into the beginning of the season, it probably wouldn't be the end of the world.

Thanks for your patience and honest feedback. We really want to make this work.

Should be a scroll bar on the edge of the list.

Also, do more searching and less scrolling.

Dynasty team. No salary cap in version 1, maybe later.

I'm in favor of this.

One more thing - it appears that the default penalty for missing your pick is that you get skipped. Is there any way to change this to reverting to your draft board? I can see a lot of issues with people forgetting to check the autopick box, especially overnight.

tooge 08-09-2011 10:48 AM

Sorry, this is too slow for me right now. Good luck guys! I love the idea though. If anyone wants my team (Flint Knappers), PM me and you can take it over. It is league 1
