Our first IDP MOCK Auction Draft will be held on Thursday, July 17, 2008 at 9:00pm EST. If you are unable to attend this one, don't worry, I will be running at least 2 more after that before our actual draft day. I have created a Mock Auction Draft at www.fantasyauctioneer.com, set up for each team to draft 9 IDP's only. In order to set it up for IDP's, I had to set the minimum requirement for each IDP position to '1', (while setting the offensive players at '0'). All GM's who participate in a Mock Draft will earn 5 BLB's. Auction Draft Rules are as follows: * Each GM will receive $100 for bidding. (not real money!) * Draft order is random and set by fantasyauctioneer.com * When it is your turn, you will 30 seconds to Nominate a player for auction by opening up the bidding on a player. * Minimum bid is $1 (max is dependent on how much $$ you have left, and how many roster spots you have open) * All GM's will be able to bid on the nominated player * The player is awarded to high-bidder once a high-bid stands for 10 seconds * All GM's must fill out a 9 player roster (IDP's only) For those of you who have done this before, I hope to still see you there - but, for those that have not done an Auction draft before - please make every effort to attend at least one Mock. It is important so that you can test your computer prior to the actual draft and work out any kinks that may come up. Hope to see you all there!

Now, is this only 5 BLBs max? Or 5 BLBs for each mock we take part in?
Just curious, or greedy, not exactly sure...
Also, can you make the next ones later? 9:00 is still too early to come inside to do a Mock. My kids are having too much fun in the pool and so am I...so, hopefully you can make one of the other ones for 10:00 PM at least...
I'm gonna miss the first one due to being outside yet...sorry!

It's a max of 5 BLB's (ya greedy, pool-lovin' bastard!)
There's no requirement to join, it's for your own benefit (like practice)... so, the 5 blb offering is to coax GM's take part in one of them. It really only takes one of them to get the feel of it too (in my opinion).
I'm scheduling the 2nd Mock for Thursday 7/31 at 9:00pm EST, but what I'll do is create an addt'l one for 10:00pm EST too on the same night for all the pool-lovers like you!
Tonight's 1st Mock Draft we had: Buddah Guru Barrister BullGods
Even though I noticed a few others registered, I didn't see any others log-in. We did have a few non-TBL2 players who joined this first free Mock draft, but hey - the more the merrier!

What can I say, I'm a sucker for the water!
The 10:00 time is more do-able for me...I'm usually up until 1:00 AM, so anything up to that time is good for me!!!

and I missed my reminder, dang it. Is there anyone in the league now that has not used Fantasy Auctioneer? If there is those guys really need to get signed in. Plus you never know if Auctioneer changed their software and you need to update your browser or plug ins

Plus you never know if Auctioneer changed their software and you need to update your browser or plug ins I would think that only the 'new' guys haven't see it yet - since the rest of us used it last year for RZB. 2 of the new guys were on though (BullGods and Guru). No worries - I'm scheduling another for Thursday 7/31 at 9:00pm and 10:00pm (for you late-birds!). You don't have to sign on to both, unless you really want to, just giving more options to accommodate whoever needs it. Also, yes - FantasyAuctioneer did change their interface a bit. It's not that much different, just cosmetic stuff. Come check it out if you're not too busy coaching your Men's Gymnastics class.
