It's pretty clear that someone's going to have to be flexible in order to make this work, so we might as well start to slog through it.

Thanks for all you're doing in coordinating this!

Starting Saturday anywhere from like 11am-3pm EST seems to be the most promising. Any later would run the risk of going late for Jeff and earlier may be rough for the people on the west coast. The live auction I usually do lasts 3+ hours but a timed auction online I expect to go by quicker.

Online auctions take 2 to 2 1/2 hours.... and Saturday morning the 26th? Sounds the best for everyone thus far

Yeah the 26th. I could probably make anytime that weekend work but was throwing those time frames out to see if anyone had any conflicts since that seemed to be the best window. Personal preference would be 1pm or later in that range.

My preference would be as early as possible on Saturday.
I would be willing to start as early as 10 eastern (7 am Pacific).
Not sure who else is on the west coast, and how they would feel.

So is anyone opposed to doing the draft starting at 1300 hours eastern time, 1000 pacific time?

I can make it work. (Like Wade and Cary below, would prefer earlier)

I can also make it work.

Would prefer earlier in the day, but understand that everyone needs to be available.

I also think I can make it work - but like Wade - would prefer earlier in the day if possible.

I am good for that time, and earlier.

Okay this is a massive juggling act, thank you all for being flexible... Saturday looks like the best day for most thus far, since we have atleast one West coast person I would rather not go any earlier than 1100 hours Saturday.

As the West Coast person (unless there is more than one of us) I am all for 1100, or even 1000.

Either way, I'm good with whatever the group decides though.

Sorry I've been quiet. I'm good with the friday morning meeting at gencon to just say hello. It will be right after the mathtrade so that works out well. As for the online drafting, I'm pretty flexible and there are computers at work if need be.
