I got majorly screwed in my draft yesterday because of this. What was strange was that it only affected about half of the guys in our league. That still means half of us auto-drafted though. Yahoo just emailed out their solution to everyone: "Dear Yahoo Fantasy Football Users, Yesterday evening we encountered an issue with a portion of our Fantasy Football drafts and one of those affected was yours. We're so sorry for the inconvenience. To fix your league, the Commissioner needs to use the reset draft tool and reschedule your draft date and time. Please note, the new draft time must be at least two hours out from your original draft. If you need assistance, please contact customer care Thanks and again we apologize, Yahoo Fantasy Football team" Doesn't really solve anything for anyone. I've been trying to get my league commissioner to re-draft or at least open up a vote for a re-draft but he has deemed that unfair to everyone else. There goes my season.

The bigger problem seems to be that your league commissioner is a tool. I would abandon the league and seek out another.

If it's a pay league, I'd demand a refund. It might be unfair to make everyone that was unaffected redraft, but it is decidedly unfair to have a draft in which members of the league weren't able to draft through no fault of their own. If it's not a pay league, then it might not be the end of the world. You'll never be able to get the same sense of pride if you do well though. :-\ Maybe you could propose a vote from the other members, as a first step, and hope that they aren't as short-sighted as the commissioner?

  It is a pay league, but it's a little tricky because the commish is one of my best friends/former roommates. Since it's fantasy football, I've taken to just talking a whole bunch of shit until action is taken. It's looking like we'll re-draft sometime this week I think, fingers crossed!

    Commish is pushing back against a re-draft? Safe to say he wasn't hit with the auto draft bug then right?

      Bingo

    How is it even fair that half of you had to auto draft then?

      Well, it isn't. His logic is flawed.

Yeah, same thing happened in my league. I was auto-drafting and apparently didn't do much to me but we had a vote and it was 7/12 for a re-draft. I'm surprised how many people this effected. You think after all this time they would have it down by now.
