WSOP Fantasy Draft League?

He's actually a pretty good player.

Ok, so it sounds like, for simplicity sake, we are leaning toward this:
-Main Event Only
-I say we do a friendly $10 entry fee (I will of course do more if enough people want to, but less seems pointless)

What we really need to decide is if we are going to do a draft, or just have everyone submit a "team" of 25 players or so. The draft would be a shitload cooler. Doing it in the forum would be a nightmare, but we can set up a big AIM chat or something, I'm sure.

Any thing else to consider before I start the official thread and see who is in?

I have an administrator friend at another private forum that got a chat room specifically for the forum. Now this is not only useful for this draft, but also for railing and all kinds of things we can do. I don't know how expensive or easy it is to get since I am not familiar with how those things work, but yeah...just a thought.

I also have no problem with doing the list thing if we can't set up a draft. It would still be enjoyable.

Oooh. That would be a good idea. TP, do you have any chat scripts that you can enable? (not necessarily INSIDE vB, but within the talkingpoker.com domain)

That would save people that didn't have AIM having to get it.

I don't like the idea of having a chat forum on TP.... I've explained why before. It would be good for THIS, yes, but not for a long term thing.

No scripts handy, but I'm sure I could search the vbulletin.org site (or someone else could - hint, hint) and find something that would work.

[Robbie Robb]

No, I agree, not necessarily a long-term thing. But a password protected chat for drafts and the like.

I took a quick look for vB chat scripts and saw a couple but didn't get a chance to dive into them.

What about installing an external chat module (PHP based or something like that) that would be accessed by a URL such as or something like that?

[Talking Poker]

Good idea. I'll look into it.

use teamspeak. you can create your own room and whatever. everyone downloads it, we log in to a special TP room, we do the draft, we log out and delete.
