I went to ESPN.com and put my mouse on Fantasy, then clicked on Fantasy Baseball when the little menu came up. Then, after I was at the Fantasy Baseball page, I scrolled down about halfway where it says "My Teams" or something, and it says my team name, and under it, it says Royals Nation Fantasy Baseball, and beside that, it says Draft Date: Sunday, March 11 at 1:15 ET.

I visited the frontpage as well, and I noticed the same thing (1:15 PM ET).
Everyone in the League should have received an e-mail notifying them of the draft time:
Here is a copy:
Draft settings changed in Royals Nation Fantasy Baseball by LM Jack
Dempsey
New settings:
Draft Type: Live Draft
Draft Date: Sunday, March 11, 2007 at 2:15 PM ET
Time Per Pick: 60 Seconds
--------------------------------------------------------------------
It states 2:15 PM ET, which would be 1:15 our time. I'll e-mail the League Office and let them know what's going on.
Thanks for bringing this up!

I e-mailed the website and they assured me that the draft will begin at 1:15 P.M. Central Time! Be sure everyone arrives extra early (preferably 20-30 minutes beforehand) to make sure there are no problems with their computer. I did change the draft to 1:15 to make sure nobody arrives late - the first round is always the most important one! Make sure you get your system tested. There will be a link provided at the League Homepage where you can test your draft. This process is extremely short and shouldn't take more than about 20 seconds.
Just login to the League itself for the draft and it should provide directions as to where to go from there. If you are having problems, contact me here as soon as possible.
Once again, the draft is this Sunday, March 11 at 1:15 P.M. Central Time. Don't forget Daylight Savings Time (we move ahead one hour!)

Those of us who are probably not going to get around to setting our clocks forward, the clock will say 12:15 when the draft starts, right?

I forgot my member name and now I can't get my password because they have to email it to me using my member name. Edit: Alright, I got it. I'm gonna try to get to this draft smoothly, but don't count on it, please.  |

Thanks to everyone who drafted with us this afternoon. It was quite fun! There were between 8-10 people there, so the attendance was great. Quite an accomplishment for a 16-team league, actually.
The season begins April 1, when the St. Louis Cardinals host the New York Mets at Busch.
Cheers!

As many of you know, there have been numerous scoring and statistical errors at the ESPN Fantasy leagues. I'm sure most of you know about this, but here's an attachment of the Fantasy League letter each of us received this morning. It's extremely important!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To our Fantasy Players,
The problems that you have experienced with ESPN Fantasy Baseball to begin this season have been unacceptable, and we are genuinely sorry.
Fixing these problems and restoring your ability to play fantasy baseball, as well as illustrating our appreciation of you - our players - is our responsibility. We will take important steps in the next 24 hours to meet that responsibility.
We have explored and tested every possible solution and it is clear that the nature of the issues leave us with a single, necessary action to get the game back on track and ensure the integrity of the season.
Late on Wednesday night the ESPN Fantasy team will:
1) Revert all teams to their opening day rosters (Sunday, April 1).
2) Set the starting lineup of each team's opening day roster as the active roster for all games played to date (April 1 - April 11).
3) Retroactively apply scoring for the entire season to date based on that roster.
4) Void all transactions to date (trades, waiver pickups, roster moves, etc.).
Following these changes, all players not on a roster will be placed on waivers for 24 hours, and the waiver order for each league will be restored to where it was on Opening Day.
Through extensive testing, this solution - while extreme - has repeatedly shown to restore the game to full and normal operation.
We are sorry to have to make such an aggressive change, and fully recognize the impact this will have. This action was our only option because of the nature of the issues and their potential to compound if not addressed on a fundamental level. Ensuring the integrity of the season ahead for ALL players is tremendously important to us and this solution ensures that all players will be treated equally.
We anticipate that by Thursday morning when you log in, the game will be operating as it should. We will provide another update to you on Thursday morning.
For those with customized leagues, your League Manager will be able to adjust current rosters as they see fit.
This should not have happened and there is no excuse. We will work hard to regain your confidence in our games, and in appreciation for the patience you've already shown we are giving you: - Free ESPN Fantasy Insider, for the entire baseball season. By Friday, you each will have complete access to all of our most in-depth, award-winning fantasy sports content through September. (Current ESPN Insider subscribers will have six months added to their subscription at no charge)
- A full refund for the cost of the 2007 season to any player that has paid for a premium ESPN Fantasy Baseball league.
We also know that many of you play other ESPN Fantasy Games, and are giving you a premium, prize-eligible ESPN Fantasy Football league this fall, at no charge. We hope you'll give us the opportunity to serve you.
Like you, we are also fantasy baseball players at ESPN, and this has been a truly humbling week. Thank you for hanging in there with us while we addressed these issues.
You - the player - are our priority. We will continue to work day and night to deliver the game experience you deserve.
Sincerely,
John Kosner, senior vice president, ESPN.com & the entire ESPN.com Fantasy Team

I want to bump this topic again for anyone who is still wondering what is going on.
