KRFL Members:
As you know, Steve Ward, Darrell Gonser and I are working on correcting the bugs on the draft website. Darrell has graciously agreed to lead this project (THANK YOU DARRELL!!!). We are specifically addressing the issues that cause the wrong players to be picked or a pick being skipped. Specifically:
-The player's order in the Player Priority list getting mysteriously rearranged or cleared causing the wrong player to get picked or the pick getting skipped.
-Sometimes the Player Priority ranking order is ignored when using Auto-Pick.
-The team's Auto Pick time gets reset from 15 minutes to zero or 10 minutes causing the pick to be skipped.
There are others, but these are the main bugs causing the most issues with the draft site, so I wont bore you with the other bugs we are addressing.
Since neither Darrell, Steve or me have the programming capability to do this, we have decided to hire a computer programmer to do it. As you can expect, the programmer does not work for free, The total cost will be around $1,000.
The league does not collect dues or fees from its members (never has, never will) but we need your financial support to make these improvements . So I am asking each team to make a $40 donation to defray the programmer's cost. Please click on this link to make a donation (you will be taken to PayPal's website):

(I tried and failed to create a Paypal "Donate" button, so just use that link please). You do NOT need a PayPal account to make a donation. You can use a credit card if you do not have a PayPal account.
Of course donations are voluntary, but we really need everyone participation in this effort. If you think about it, that is only $2.50 per regular season game for one season. And I think you will agree the using the draft website is so much easier than doing the draft on e-mail or posting in the league forum (it is easier on me especially).
If you make a donation, please let me know so I can identify it on the PayPal website.
Thank you in advance,
