The draft will be taking place on Yahoo on Thursday, December 22nd, at 6:30 PM Eastern Standard Time.
Pretty much everyone has had an issue with a live draft before, whether it be the draft room won't load or it freezes, or your internet stops working, or just you run out of time on your pick clock. So pre-rank and create a rolling queue list if you are there because if something does go wrong, there's no way to fix it.
When pre-ranking, keep in mind that keepers have already been entered into the draft, though they still show up in the pre-rank list of players. The keepers will be automatically drafted so that is not an issue. A keeper list has been posted here:

Time zone chart:
Eastern Time - 6:30 PM
Central Time - 5:30 PM
Mountain Time - 4:30 PM
Pacific Time - 3:30 PM
Since the draft is on Yahoo there is no way to process trades during the draft. So if you plan on making any trades during the draft involving picks, you will have to work out a system such that you draft for your trading partner and vice versa with the picks that you traded. Keep in mind that the regular Yahoo 1:30 time limit exists, so if you make any trades you will have to act quick. In order to allow this to happen, all trades involving picks in this draft will be automatically allowed without a vote (so don't make a bad deal, it will go through). Since time will be an issue, both teams just have to list the trade in the draft room chat box, but later on all draft day trades must be posted on the forum, just not right away incase the pick is coming up.

I think I've covered everything but maybe not. If you think I missed anything please say so, and if you have any questions feel free to ask Commish, MaZe or I.
