Auction Draft Room?

[Burt the Butcher]

Anyone know of a service where you can get a free private chat room set up? We are going to hold an auction draft for Fantasy Baseball this weekend, and the people running the league haven't planned things very well. So looking for a way to have real time participation across the country. Thanks.

Couldn't you just open up an AOL chat room for your league (everyone would need a free AOL IM account)... or are you looking for something a bit more "high tech?"

tough call. i like espn's live fantasy baseball draft but you have to pay $30 per team or $20 if your an Insider. other than that your best bet would be AOL/MSN IM or something similar. check Yahoo! too, I think they have free leagues you can set up a live draft on.

i'm in two leagues this year. a 5x5 rotisserie league (espn) i've been in a for while and a h2h 6x6 league (yahoo!..draft on sunday).

let me know how your draft turns out. last round sleeper pick: rocco baldelli

Baldelli is going to last until the last round in your league? Wow. I'd be surprised.

I know you can set up a conference chat in AIM/MSN, but I recall a couple of years ago I played in Sandbox, and we all met in a chat room to talk while drafting, just don't remember what it was.

In my ESPN 5x5 roto draft I nabbed him in the last round (I was tempted to take him a few round earlier but I just kept waiting). People just seem to forget about him since he missed all of last season. Looks like he might start off on the 15-day DL this year but that D-Rays lineup should score a ton of runs this year...of course they'll give up a ton too.
