Looks like we have 4 people interested so far. Lets see if we can get 10. That's probably the minimum we could work with. 12 would be great.
Is the keeper league happening again mate?

Looking at the keeper league is the draft midnight tonight as stated on the draft page?
And we are only looking at drafting 2 players?

I just logged on and apparently we are drafting now and it is up to rnd.4.
Obviously something went wrong.
@Haychh
I fear you may have to contact the powers that be in SC land to reverse things.
@Bombers56
I've discussed with Haychh how many players we keep/drop. He says we can drop as many players from our team as we wish to. If you are happy with most of your team you may only drop 2 players. If so, you only get 2 draft picks.
The draft is as per usual in that we each pick in turn until our team is complete. So if you drop only 2 players your participation ends in the 2nd round.
If you really don't like your team and you drop 12 players, say, you may end up with multiple consecutive picks as the only one still drafting.

Yep. You'll definitely have to contact the SC techs. The site says the draft is done and provides a "Draft Recap". Many teams had no picks while Psychedelic Pandas had 6 picks, Sweens Machines had 5, Pig Hunters had 4 etc
May I suggest it would probably be easiest if they just allow another draft?
And we still only have 15 teams but with 2 Railriders.

I'm sorry but I'm getting a bit antsy as there's just over 2 weeks to the first game,

Yep.
An e-mail arrived at 11.58 stating that the draft was starting at midnight. It did so with every pick automatic.
A right proper .......

Really sorry guys no idea what has gone on there. I've just shot off a message to tech, I'll let you know how it goes.

I was just logging on this morning to discuss a draft date and then noticed it had happened.

We're sorted. SC tech support was very helpful!

Lets set a date, I'll start us off with a suggestion. Next Monday night the 11th? It's a public holiday in VIC.

Any other suggestions?

Well done, Haychh.
Monday is fine. As per usual I'll have to remember it's daylight saving time and not QLD time.

Unfortunately we still have 2 x Railriders making up the 14.

It may be a little tough for me to make it. I’m from WA and I play basketball Monday afternoon/night. It would depend on the start time.

It should, in theory, be a short-ish draft.
I don't know how many players other coaches are likely to drop but I'm looking at dropping around 5/6.
If everyone drops 6 players that's only 84 picks. At 30sec picks that's only 45min. for the whole draft.

Happy with that.
Do you know if there is a specific time by which we have to finalize pre-draft teams? Or are teams automatically locked when the draft starts?
I've finalized my pre-draft team but it would be nice to get some time to see what other players have become available.
