Previous message                 Next message Message #: 8527 Message from: Alan Boodman Sent: Mar 1, 2004 Subject: 1975 files are posted and the draft is underway! Please download the new files and report any errors or omissions ASAP.   Below is the "draft protocol" I cut and pasted from last year's message, which may be worth re-reading.   The Braves are now up, to be followed by the Brewers, White Sox, Cubs, Giants & Twins (I have a list for the Twins).   Good luck to everyone!   Alan       --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   For our new owners (and as a refresher course for our veterans), here is how the draft works:   The draft order, and all picks that have been made so far, is posted at the website, and I will update that page as picks are made.  I will also try to post updated files after every round.   Each owner has 6 hours to make a pick, but the clock stops overnight (eastern time) from about 11 PM ET to 8 AM ET.  You do not need to wait for me to put you "on the clock" to make your pick - once you see that the team in front of you has made their selection, feel free go ahead and announce your pick.   If I am available - and I usually am - I will sent a message to the list stating who is on the clock and what the deadline is.   If there is ANY chance you won't be around when your turn comes around - and the draft sometimes moves MUCH faster than you might think - send me a list ahead of time.  Otherwise HAL could make your pick, and you generally don't want that to happen.   We are often a little lenient on the 6 hour limit (especially in round 1, where we do not want to see HAL do anything).  If you are up after somebody, and their 6 hours have expired, do NOT just go ahead with your pick.  If I don't happen to be near a computer when somebody's time has expired, the person on the clock gets a little extra time.  That's how it works, and we've done just fine that way in the past; our drafts usually go very smoothly.
