I posted some of this in Hy's "Can you feel it?" thread, but I'll make this sticky so everyone sees it.

-The draft begins automatically at 6:30 PM EDT--each person gets 3 minutes per pick; go over the time limit and it makes the pick for you based on pre-rankings. The clock starts automatically, so be on time or you may miss a pick. Yahoo suggests arriving 10 minutes early; I'll be on Ventrilo around 6 PM.

-Chat room: I've talked with friends who did a Yahoo league last year, and they're pretty sure that Yahoo provides a chat room for while we draft. If there's not, however, Squidly has offered to let us use his Seahawks chat room on his squidly.com website.

-Ventrilo: Participation is encouraged. There will be one non-AK member ("Andy Reid") sharing my microphone during the draft. I'll create a FF draft channel so we don't bother the Doom 3 players.
