Tested the live draft setup and it's pretty nice....we can set a definite date later, but I'm aiming for the second week of August (likely the night of 8th, 9th or 10th). Still waiting on a reply from @Mike80 .

Just letting you know now, I won't be able to draft anytime at night during the week. I work from 6p- about 4/5 a. I know It will be hard to find a good time for everyone be on for the draft so if this is the option that works best for everyone I'm not gonna cry about it. Live draft is far superior to what we have been doing.

The first two weeks of August are typically awful for me. I could probably do that sunday, though.

I like the concept of a live draft, but has anyone searched the interwebs for how long it takes to do this large of a draft from a pool of so many obscure players?

I'm open to whatever...I just assumed evenings/nights would be the preferred option.

Well we have until September 3rd, so anytime between now and then works.

Waiting until closer to the season should allow plenty of research time to get a board setup. I realize it's a much larger pool than the NFL, but holding the draft on BP is getting rather old.

Are there any apps out there that would alert the user when it's their turn to draft? Even a discussion app where we could tag the person would help.

Tagging/PMing hasn't worked in the past, so I'm not sure how an app would be much different. We're also running short on time if we were to decide to hold the draft on BP again.

I like the idea of a live draft. Trying to move through 224 picks with people's summer schedules can get frustrating. As far as the obscure late round players, more than half of them end up getting dropped anyways. I've always loved draft days for NFL fantasy, so this should be fun.
