The Sanderson Gazette - 2017-08-17 - The Red Keep
Draft Information
The draft is - as always - at my place (4609 N. Rockwell, Unit 1, Chicago) at 4:00 PM on Saturday, August 26. As I understand it, here's the breakdown of who'll be in person, remote, and auto-drafting. Please let me know ASAP if I have this wrong!
In-person:
Babel, Dave, Ed, Matt, Mike R., Pat, Rob, Schertz
Remote:
Derrek, Pulley, Rabbit
Auto-draft:
Allen, Kevin, Richie
For you auto-drafters, don't forget to send me instructions. If I don't have instructions (or they stop being relevant), I will use the ADP for a standard, 14-team league found at https://fantasyfootballcalculator.com/adp?format=standard&year=2017&teams=14&view=graph&pos=all.
For you in-person drafters, if you want to come over as early as 2:00, feel free. I'm thinking we'll order pizza to be there before the draft, then anyone who wants to stick around and hang out afterwards, or stay the night if you don't live in the city, you are more than welcome.
Draft order:
Richie
Derrek
Pat

Matt
Mike R.
Ed

Rule Changes Reminder
In case you missed this back in March, we had three rule change proposals - which led to one rule change.
The big change is that we will be moving from having 2 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, and 1 flex to having 1 RB, 2 WR, 1 TE, and 2 flex.
We also voted on changing the defensive scoring and prohibiting keeping two first round players, but neither of those rules will be changing.
