Regular season starts Sunday April 5th, so we need to hold the draft prior to that. My preferred date/time is on the weekends, otherwise it'd have to be at night west coast time (extra late for you east coasters). I think we have a roughly 50/50 split on ET players as PT players, so I'd like to find something that works for most everybody. I'll post my three suggestions below, and if any/all of them work for you, please let me know asap, so we can get it scheduled. If weekends are not good for you at all, we can try to find a weeknight that works for the most people possible.
Initial suggested draft dates/times:
Saturday March 21st - late afternoon/early evening
Sunday March 22nd - late afternoon/early evening
Sunday March 29th - late afternoon/early evening
With 10 people, and roughly 17-18 rounds of picks to make (once you remove keepers), it shouldn't take more than 90-120 minutes.
People's Comments:
Spin: March 21/22/29 or MTWF after 6 PM PT.
Rob: March 22nd or MRF after 4 PM PT.
Brad: Not before March 24; MTWRF after 6:30 PM PT.
Zook: MTWRF after 5 PM PT.
Rice: Anytime after March 22.
Alan: MTWRF after 6 PM PT.
Russ: March 22 or 29; Later at night is better.
Guzz: No response
Doug: MWRF after 6 PM PT
Neil: No response

I know the 29th is Wrestlemania Sunday. I figured we could do it earlier in the day (if that's the date people wanted), before any WM things started happening. I purposefully didn't put the 28th, as I'll be gone all day leading a field-trip, and won't be back until at least 6 PM PT. |

If people want weeknights, I could do pretty much any weeknight after 6 PM PT, other than Thursdays (softball night).

Everything between March 14 - 23 is out for me. Vacation, bitches! Anytime after that is good, I'm free most week nights after 7:30 MT.

The only days I won't be available are 3-21 and 3-22. Any other day/time should work for me.

I think all those dates work for me, I should be able to work around most weeknights if we have to do that as long as its 6 pm PST or later.

Later the better for me. 22nd or 29th works best.

I updated the OP with everybody's comments so far. This has reduced the available dates/times. I have listed the dates/times that fit into everybody's posted comments. Please check these and let me know if any of them don't work for you. I want to make sure as many people as possible can make the live draft.

So, with Doug not being able to do a weekend draft, that leaves Friday the 27th, Monday the 30th, and Friday the 3rd.
Both Zook and Rob have informed me they'd rather "live-facebook-snark" the post-Wrestlemania Raw episode on Monday the 30th, so that's likely out as an option too. This leaves the only options as either Friday night. In that case, I'm picking the 27th, as my mother-in-law flies in on the 3rd, and I'll have to pick her up from the airport and go shopping for my daughters birthday party the next day.
LIVE DRAFT DATE/TIME: Friday, March 27th @ 7 PM PT
