I'm in!

**Methods** · 08-20-2005, 11:34 AM

Just signed up. Can the draft be early morning or on the weekend? I work second shift.

High Kicker · 08-20-2005, 11:48 AM

I'm pretty sure the draft date and time is going to change, just threw a date out there to get things rolling. We'll poll the owners when the league fills up and set a real date and time.

I'd prefer a weekend myself, but we'll let majority decide.
