Alright guys we just about have a full league. It's time to start determining the best live draft date that will work for as many GM's as possible. I know our window is short but that's what we have to work with.
The draft is either going to be a Friday, Saturday, or Sunday for obvious reasons. The draft date also cannot be any sooner than September 11th (which is pushing it), so that everyone can have some time to arrange their schedules. The draft cannot be any later than Sept. 27th to ensure we have an emergency weekend to reschedule the draft if it was required for any reason. Anything could happen and I like to be prepared.
Below is a list of available draft dates. Please respond and and list two categories, "Unavailable dates" and "Available dates." For any unavailable dates please explain whether you selected it because there is absolutely no chance you could make that date or that it would be inconvenient and you would prefer to avoid that date. We are going to do our best to please everyone but chances are that will be impossible.
Friday Sept. 11th
Saturday Sept. 12th
Sunday Sept. 13th
Friday Sept. 18th
Saturday Sept. 19th
Sunday Sept. 20th
Friday Sept. 25th
Saturday Sept. 26th
Sunday Sept. 27th
Once everyone has submitted their dates, the LEB will then go through this information and narrow it down to a very short list. We will then create a poll and GM's will vote on the specific date. The majority vote will then be the draft date.
Note: Our offline prospect draft will start shortly after the league is full. We should have enough time to complete the 14 round offline draft.
The eliminated dates where due to two or more GM's being unavailable:
Sept. 12th
-Oshawa Generals unavailable
-Niagra IceDogs unavailable
Sept. 18th-20th
-Sarnia Sting unavailable 18th-20th
-Barrie Colts unavailable 18th-20th
Flint FirebirdsI have inquired Flint Firebirds regarding possible availability on the 26th/27th as this seems to be our most available date.
-Update: Flint Firebirds is available for the 26th or 27th
