NFL schedule starts on September 7th this year.  Here are our options for the draft.

Saturday August 19
Sunday August 20
Monday August 21
Tuesday August 22
Wednesday August 23
Thursday August 24
Friday August 25
Saturday August 26
Sunday August 27
Monday August 28
Tuesday August 29
Wednesday August 30
Thursday August 31
Friday Sept 1
Saturday Sept 2
Sunday Sept 3
Monday Sept 4 (Labor Day)
Tuesday Sept 5
Wednesday Sept 6

Since this is an auction, would like to make sure everyone is available for the draft if possible.  Please post here to list the days that you definitely cannot make it. 

[Week]

Aug 22-26 are out for me -- the 27th I could do in the afternoon or later. Free otherwise -- on the West Coast, so I'm flexible early or late.

[Prince of the North]

Anything but Sept. 5 or 6 works for me!

[Jace, Basilissa]

Would very much appreciate keeping it to fridays/saturdays/Sunday's, but I will make anything work. 

Similarly, I always prefer drafting as close to the season as possible but will not complain of otherwise.

[Lord Dracarys]

I would also appreciate a Friday-Sunday draft. If not it needs to be after 6:00pm or I'll be drafting on the subway home, which can be difficult.

[Jaime L]

Sundays definitely. Would like to avoid Friday/Saturday. 

[Whiskeyjack]

This is where we're currently at, after responses from Week, POTN, Jace, Dracarys, and Jaime.

Sunday August 20
Monday August 21
Sunday August 27 (afternoon or later)
Monday August 28
Tuesday August 29
Wednesday August 30
Thursday August 31
Sunday Sept 3
Monday Sept 4 (Labor Day)

With Jace and Dracarys preferring August 27th or Sept 3rd if possible.  Personally, I would be okay with that, but would probably still need to have the draft at night regardless of whether it was on a weekday or weekend.

Need responses from Mexal, Bronn, Fuentez, and JJ.

[Mexal]

Any of the dates Sunday, Aug 27 or later works. However, for dates like Sep 3/4, they need to be early afternoon for me to be able to make it.

[Jace, Basilissa]

I love Aug 27

[Week]

Just checked my flight -- I would need the draft to either start at 11am EST while I'm on the flight or after 5pm EST after I land.

[JJ Lannister]

Thursday the 31st is out for me. I can make anything else work. Earlier start times are better for me. 

[Whiskeyjack]

Sunday August 27 (5 EDT or later)
Monday August 28
Tuesday August 29
Wednesday August 30
Sunday Sept 3 (early afternoon)
Monday Sept 4 (Labor Day; early afternoon)

@fuentez1138
@Bronn Stone

Going to try to set this by Friday, so if you have restrictions, let me know before then.

[Jace, Basilissa]

I love the 27th and the 3rd.

[Whiskeyjack]

Okay looks like this draft with be on Sunday, August 27th.  Setting the start time as 9 p.m. eastern, 6 p.m. pacific for now. 

[JJ Lannister]

WJ that's right in the middle of the season finale of GOT. All Westeros all night. 

[Whiskeyjack]

Draft time is set.

Everyone should be back in the league automatically.  Let me know if you aren't.

I was just thinking about this. I'll be surprised if anyone has a good team.

You guys are going to watch it during the draft?  I'm definitely recording it and watching after we're done.

Anybody who spoils anything forfeits their best player.

My relationship with my wife is much more important than the draft
