No, that time and date was entered in just as a placeholder.

Just so there is no confusion, the draft is NOT tomorrow. We need to decide on a day and time this week. I am good to draft any day except Tuesday or Saturday.

How about Thursday, March 31 at 8:30 Central?

I'm down for that

We still have 2 openings in our Yahoo fantasy baseball league if anyone is interested. It is a rotisserie style league made up mostly of guys from Rangers boards like this one. We will draft this coming Saturday afternoon at 4:00 Texas time.

damn it the draft was moved?!?!?! I hope I can make that...I was hoping to get the draft taken care of during the Easter weekend as I was actually off work. My work schedule is so all over the place I can not promise to make a draft on a weekday night.

The draft was never set for tonight. I posted multiple times throughout this thread that the Monday 8:30 time was merely a placeholder that I was forced to enter when I created the league. Even yesterday I posted to be clear that the draft was not tonight.

Sorry for the confusion it caused, but I tried to make it as clear as I could all week long that Monday wasn't the official draft date. It wasn't changed last minute. People voted on Thursday.

Correct. Yahoo will randomize the draft order 30 minutes before the draft starts.

Also, I will be clicking on the "randomize schedule" option so that we're all given random schedules not based on order of league sign-up. That way both draft order and team schedule are chosen randomly by the computer.

Also, I want everyone to take one last look at the league settings. If there are any scoring, tiebreaker, or playoffs settings you want changed, please speak up now.

the only thing I noticed that seemed odd was a tie breaker of the higher seeded team...very unlikely to happen and I guess it awards the team with the better regular season, but seemed odd. One more thing...I don't see a minimum or maximum innings pitched per week...will there be a min innings pitched or max starts allowed?

Since we voted on weekly lineup changes, there will be no max or min innings. If you don't have many innings pitched, though, you won't get many points. If this were a categories league, I could see setting a minimum innings limit to prevent people from just pitching 1 guy 1 inning and then winning the ERA and WHIP categories. But since it's a weekly points league, there is no minimum. And since you can't put in new pitchers every single day, there's no reason to have a max innings either.
