While it's early in the process, i'd once again like to propose that the draft be moved to a date that doesn't involve Labor Day Sunday. I would like to initially suggest we draft the prior Sunday which is 08/28/21.
Initial thoughts and banter? Let's get it started.

I would prefer 8/29 as well. I am in a wedding on Labor Day weekend where I will be out of town and unable to attend the draft. In the past, I have not been a fan of having that weekend locked up because of our draft.
I support this.

While I think Labor Day Sunday is a better date for the draft, if multiple players are unavailable we should change so we all can participate.

I s/w Rich yesterday via telephone and he is good with moving the date as well. I'm sure he will confirm.

Do you mean Sunday 8/29/2021 or Saturday 8/28/2021?

Depending on the upcoming draft format, it doesn't have to be all done in one day. Other leagues I'm involved in split there drafts over two days or some just start them as they see fit and use time slots or no time limit (Within Reason). Many use Slack as a way to do this and it seems to work pretty well. The latter allows for drafts to go on weekdays as opposed to locking up an entire day or weekend. If you used the latter, you could start on Monday the 30th and progress throughout the week. My guess is it would be over by Thursday evening so then nobody has to tie up any weekends. I know Pat set up a Slack group for us a year ago but I think it went largely ignored.
Thoughts?

We can also use the Forum for the draft. No need to use slack. Just set up a new board for each round.

I am open to either method and can make it work. I do have concerns doing it over several days since we have members who are not frequenting league posts for sometimes weeks at a time.

I think a one day draft makes more sense. Waiting for hours for someone to make a decision will be frustrating. Also tying up several days when everyone would have to divert from work or family life at possibly inopportune times is not reasonable IMO.

Agree with John, prefer a 1 day draft
