Welcome to the 2007-2008 NDBA Draft Headquarters, Live
Drafts NDBA style. From this page you will be
able to link to everything you need on this site to prepare and perform
the draft.
Here is this seasons draft date for this seasons live drafts:
North Draft: Wednesday Oct 24th 8:00PM CST (6 PST or 9 EST).
South Draft: Thursday Oct 25rd 8:00PM CST (6 PST or 9 EST).
East Draft: Monday Oct 22nd 8:30PM CST (6:30 PST or 9:30 EST).
West Draft: Monday Oct 22nd 8:00PM CST (6 PST or 9 EST).
Draft Preference Sheets will stay available up until about 10
minutes prior to the start of your draft.
Draft Results will be available as the draft progresses. Yes,
you can check draft results of other conferences as the draft is in
progress. No, you can not go to another conferences draft room.
For those of you "looking in" on a draft via the Draft
Monitor link for another conference, please don't wear out your
refresh button. Check every few minutes or so... the effect of the
live draft script on the server last year were not so good. I believe
I have worked out the bug that crashed the server but let's not push
it. If there is a problem during the draft here are the lines of
communication, in order of preference.
1. AOL IM (AIM),
I will have it on during the draft. We will start a Chat and invite owners from that
conf. into it before the draft. Plenty of room for smack talking there,
plus I can get ahold of everyone in one shot.
2. The NDBA message
board, I will post alerts there IF something goes wrong and the
site is still functional. I will post problems there for the owners
in the draft who don't have AIM
(it's free and anyone can use it so come on).
3. Lastly, e-mail.. this is not the preferred method
for obvious reasons. Most of all I have enough to do during
the draft, worrying about constantly checking my e-mail will not rank
high on the list. That said, e-mail is the one thing that is pretty
dependable and is not reliant on the site being functional.
About Draft Preference Sheets:
All the players listed on the sheets are from the NBA.com
site using the team roster links.. yes it takes a while, and many
of the players on these lists (that were on NBA team rosters
in early Oct.) will not be there opening day. Some players that are
on your draft lists may not be on an NBA roster now...the NBA rosters
are very fat this time of year and cuts will be forth coming as we
all know. Rank your players in the order you deem correct. This year
there is a default Bonus list. Once you get your 5 positions set close
to where you want them, initialize your Bonus list to match your preferences
using the "Grab My Top 30" (button below when preference sheets are on).
Once the draft sheets are disabled, right before the actual draft, the button will no longer
be enabled. For more about how to do your preference sheets see the
Draft F.A.Q. page.
