I'm fine with the 22nd, with the exception that I work until 9 pm EST, am not sure if I can get off that early. It is possible, and/or could always queue for the first several rounds.

But if that works for everyone else, then I'm fine with it as then we could do a complete live draft in one go.

This timing is not good for me. I'm returning to the US scheduled to land at 8.15 PM ET with a poor on-time performance but generally listed arrival by 9.15. As long as I can access the internet on the flight, I can set proxies. But if I'm not able to access the internet, this could be a case where I am not able to set proxies and it is possible I could end up with a completely computer-drafted team which I doubt I could recover from. A 9 or 9.30 PM start time would be better but I understand that is getting really late for the people in the Eastern time zone.

I don't see that Studmeister ever chimed in about a date and time for the draft.

August 22nd at 9 or 9:30 pm seems to work with everyone else (if Franky and jmdziuban2 can make it work).

Anyone have contact with Studmeister?

If this date doesn't work, I think that Juiced JC is just going to have to make decision on set, format and date and time.

I'm fine with the 22nd if everyone else is. Am planning a short excursion from the 23rd thru 25th anyways. I could easily add a day and like jaywalker have an internet connection there. Or if not, can likely get off work early on the 22nd if needed.

OK so let's assume our preferred date/time right now for the Live Draft is 9:30 PM Eastern time on August 22nd. For those that haven't yet responded, let us know your availability for this.

It should work for me. Let's get it done in 2 hours like last year.

I reached out to Studmeister about his availability.

I am fine with whatever the consensus is regarding time of the draft.

I would prefer two hour time between picks, since I have never done a live draft, and I would prefer to react and analyze the draft rather than use proxies. However, I am cool again with whatever consensus arises.
