That's cool, I didn't figure it would be for everyone. It's just a different way to handle an awkward stage of the game.

I really hope Jim comes up with something easier for us but for the time being this was the best way I could think of doing it to add excitement to it.

It only takes about an hour to do it so it's not a horrible process and it's kinda fun.

I'm hoping to make it tomorrow, but admittedly I was on FOF break.

What do we need to request in order to join the live draft?

I know I've blown off the preference list because I am skipping that again this year (my staff is still under contract and were good enough for a Bowl victory), but if I can join the live draft I may be tempted to make some changes.

I'll send you the info tonight and you lost 2 coaches to retirement so you'll benefit from drafting live. Plus it only takes about an hour so it's not an all day event.

I am interested in the staff draft. How do you know if you are using steam or not?

Did you rebuy it through steam or request a steam key from Jim?

I'm still using the elicense version.

Do we need to send you a file if we are attending the draft?

If you need to sign your coaches to a contract extension, you'll need to put in a file.
