    Looking at my sorry ass team from last year, I do not want any of those dudes as first round material. Do we have the option to forego our keeper and pick up another available player as the first pick instead?

    Lol. Nope. Keeper has to come from your roster. So, you'll just have your first round pick available.

    Another thing i just thought of. Do we want to change from random draft order to reverse standings order from last season given that we're a keeper league now? It would work by putting returning managers in reverse 2009 standings order and then adding any new managers to the end of that order randomly. Just say yay or nay below. I'll add this issue to the 1st post.

    Reminder, don't send money till we have the total number of managers, which will be by august 20th.

    We're at 11 guys right now with Queue. So if we get the 4 other returnees plus one more. We'd have enough for two 8 team leagues.

    Update: yahoo will allow me to put in keepers, but it forces me to use the "Custom Draft Order" then. Therefore, we will still achieve a random draft order by having a third party board veteran pull names out of a hat. With this version of random draft order, we'd know our draft positions before the draft. Yahoo's auto-randomization occurs 30 minutes before the draft time and doesn't allow for keepers. This will actually work out better because I know some people may change their keeper pick based on draft position and how many returning managers and their respective keepers we have.

    Also, for Geoffrie's and Dan's team, I just used your top player as your keeper just to test the system. I can change it whenever you want.

    Also, the Queue is now less EGQ and daigz because last season we only had ten teams. This season we clearly have enough demand for 12, so first 2 guys are automatically in. Should have realized earlier.
