Is the draft still taking place tomorrow? Or has it been pushed back? Just want to double-check before I clear my schedule. EDIT: Can we just have another roll call of each team's GM in this thread? If we're doing a draft tomorrow let's at least make sure the GMs are active

Good idea, several GM's refuse to respond to trade offer, it would be good to see if they're still in or not. I'm present at least!

I'm here. And Drew said in the other thread that the Draft is going to be next week.
On that note, I can't get the chat room to load properly. Hmmph.

The reasons behind the draft is being re-scheduled are
1) It appears that not all GM's are active, some may need to be replaced.
2) There is still a lot of work to be done within the program. (inputting all GM info, the schedule, assigning missing players & prospects which I'm sure almost every team has some of each.) The draft is a lot of work as well and I don't want to keep falling behind, I should be able to get all caught up no problem by next Tuesday or Thursday (whichever date is decided via poll.)
3) There is no concrete CBA in place. I'd really like to get a CBA and at least somewhat of a rulebook up this wekend.
4) The league as a whole isn't ready for the draft. I know quite a few GMs are, but probably even more aren't. Between MIA GM's, people on vacation or unable to attend without a list sent... it could wind up a bit of a mess, which I don't want to happen.
My intentions are to have the league running well and the draft go smoothly, afterwards we will have a free agency period (will probably only be about 3 days) and then we will finally be able to begin the pre-season, with the bulk of the workload out of the way. I know it may seem like the league is moving at a snails pace right now, but it will pick up and be well worth the wait. I just want everything to be prepared before we move on.

Sounds great Drew, and great work so far.
If I could make one suggestion it would be more email communication on major issues (like moving the draft and roll call) and not solely relying on the message boards.
Keep us posted!
