Hey Guys,
In case anybody hasn't heard, there is a Class 3 Hurricane that is due to strike the East Coast pretty badly starting this weekend. Supposedly, this will be the worst storm to hit the Northeast since 1985 and in that storm, many areas lost power for more than a week. As such, many of our GMs may be unable to access this site during the storm and its aftermath. The storm is supposed to really start getting dangerous between 8 and 10 pm saturday night so we've decided that the draft clock will be suspended from Saturday night at 10pm EST through Tuesday at 12:00pm EST. GMs may still make picks during this time but there will be no time limit on picks due to the extenuating circumstances created by this weather.
I live in an area that loses power during nearly every heavy storm so it's highly likely I won't have my computer available for a few days. I'll try to stay active as best I can from my iPhone to help keep the draft moving with autopicks and updating the results thread.
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns regarding this situation please don't hesitate to contact Ben or myself and we'll be happy to address them for you.
