Live draft on one computer?

Postby cap10ga » Sun Aug 15, 2010 9:49 pm

So we have a live draft on Yahoo and 80% of the group will be together and having a good time, but the other 20% will be across the country. Does Yahoo have an option for the 80% of us to draft of one computer and the other 20% of their computers, at their location?

actually...the scenario you describe is exactly what we are doing. 10 guys at a house....4 guys online. we are using a chat room and imputting the picks into yahoo once we are done

we wanted to keep the tradition of doing it live in person...but have to accomodate teh out of town people who usually come in town...but dont want to anymore


im doing it this thur night....so we will see how it works

Why not just have the commissioner log in and make the picks for the guys there in person. Instead of putting the picks in themselves they'd just shout them out to the Commish.

Or you could invest $30 in a wifi modem and have anyone who can bring a laptop and draft that way. That's what I've done in several drafts recently, and it works pretty well.
