[DreddyTennis45]

Don't know how youre supposed to do this but I'll pick Raonic first

 

[ksub]

Del Potro

 

[TripleATeam]

Edit: changed my mind. Djokovic

 

[aceX]

Edit: changed my mind. Djokovic

Uh, not your turn yet mate. Also don't edit your posts in this thread! If you make a mistake make a new post.

 

[aceX]

@Meles is up next

 

[TripleATeam]

Uh, not your turn yet mate. Also don't edit your posts in this thread! If you make a mistake make a new post.

Ah. I figured that I'd say mine and if the next two don't take him, I would. Save some hassle?

 

[aceX]

Ah I see. Problem is that if everyone does that I think this thread is gonna become a mess. Also maybe you just gave the guys ahead of you an idea of who to pick lol.

 

[TripleATeam]

Ah I see. Problem is that if everyone does that I think this thread is gonna become a mess. Also maybe you just gave the guys ahead of you an idea of who to pick lol.

Could be. Okay, then. Maybe put in a sort of time limit on drafting? So it doesn't take weeks.

 

[aceX]

Yeah the time limit is 12 hours from when the person ahead of you picks (because of sleep, different time zones etc)

 

[mule250]

ZZzzzZZZZZzzzZZzzzzzzzzz

 

[aceX]

ZZzzzZZZZZzzzZZzzzzzzzzz

Yeah where the heck is @Meles at?

I think if too many people are taking the full 12 hours we might switch to a system where 4-6 people at a time can pick and it's first come first served within those 4-6. But let's see how we go with the rest of this first round.

Nah, you need to take into account the time difference - if anyone is going to show up on time to pick a player for fantasy draft tennis, I'd bet my house on Meles

This should probably be the system anyway, to be honest.

 

[aceX]

@Meles you have just under 4 and a half hours and then it's gonna be @Boozyuzi 's turn

 

[Boozyuzi]

Might be an idea to delete the (atp) players that have been picked.

 

[aceX]

Might be an idea to delete the (atp) players that have been picked.

Yes, I have ....

 

[boredone3456]

just a question as this might impact my choices...the next draft will still be after Miami? then again after Wimbledon?

 

[Meles]

Nah, you need to take into account the time difference - if anyone is going to show up on time to pick a player for fantasy draft tennis, I'd bet my house on Meles

Alexander Zverev

 

[Boozyuzi]

Kyle Edmund

 

[Urkezi]

Alexander Zverev

Now that's a shocker!

Sorry. For some reason I thought the start time was 5 hours later which is the middle of the night for me. I'll be on a long direct flight around this time tomorrow that leaves early in morning. I'll keep checking back (the hole precisely starts in just over 20 hours and I'll have another hole right before when asleep.)

Most of the TTW members are Europe based, but membership is from all over the world and in this league looking at the list.

 

[Meles]

Now that's a shocker!

Haha. At least I wasn't dumb enough to pick Thiem. Delpo was the obvious choice, but he could get injured. I've not had time to think about this league at all so that was a panic pick and frankly I've got so much stuff going on right now I've not had much time to think about this.

 

[Meles]

OK. I'm watching this thread and receiving email notifications which could get ugly...

I suggest we tag the person after us in the draft so for Boozereasy I'll tag @TripleATeam .

Maybe there is a way we can set up are users temporarily to make this move more smoothly. It would be cool to kind of tag and text.

 

[Boozyuzi]

Maybe could ask all players to have their PM email notification turned on - then ask each player to PM the next player to tell them their next.

 

[aceX]

@TripleATeam pre-picked Novak Djokovic, so @baobabz your turn

 

[aceX]

just a question as this might impact my choices...the next draft will still be after Miami? then again after Wimbledon?

Yes we will be drafting one additional player after Miami, and one more after Wimbledon. The draft order will be the worst record first, best record last.

 

[Meles]

Glad you guys waited for me. I'd suggest next time we integrate the sign up and league draft threads so we can all be trained on how to do this efficiently. Its an exciting concept this league.

 

[TripleATeam]

I figured someone would take Zverev early. Time to see who takes Kygrios.

 

[aceX]

25 hours in, 85 picks remain....... Holy s**t

 

[gn]

Roger Federer

 

[Meles]

[Meles]

Roger Federer

@baobabz going Folderer?....

 

[aceX]

@baobabz going Folderer?....

gnana laying down the pre-pick, or maybe it's a bait hoping someone ahead of him picks federer

 

[Meles]

gnana laying down the pre-pick, or maybe it's a bait hoping someone ahead of him picks federer

The word is the Berd.

 

[ksub]

@aceX an elaborate cat and mouse game

 

[aceX]

@Big_Dangerous you can now pick

 

[aceX]

If nobody picks in the next 6 hours @gnana prakash gets Federer and it will be @boredone3456 's pick

 

[Big_Dangerous]

@Big_Dangerous you can now pick

I'll take Andy Murray

 

[Big_Dangerous]

Glad you guys waited for me. I'd suggest next time we integrate the sign up and league draft threads so we can all be trained on how to do this efficiently. Its an exciting concept this league.

There's got to be a way to do it so we can all log on to a system or something and do a draft, and anyone who can't make it should be able to set their pre-draft rankings.

 

[boredone3456]

since Big Dangerous took Murray and Gnana preselected Federer...I'm assuming I can pick now?

I'll take Wawrinka

 

[PDJ]

I thought I'd entered this?
No worries.
Good luck all.

 

[aceX]

@baobabz has dropped out, so you can take his spot and make your first pick right now.

 

[aceX]

@VaBeachTennisNut your pick

 

[aceX]

@FEDERERNADAL13 in three and a half hours you can pick, or as soon as VaBeach picks

 

[aceX]

@FEDERERNADAL13 your pick

 

[PDJ]

So can I take Nadal?

[Meles]

Seems to me that any no shows should have their draft positions taken by interested late comers (VABeachNut slot.). I nominate @Aussie Darcy to draft Tomic.

I don't know what's going on but it looks interesting??? Is it too late?
