I'd prefer Cormier to Frye as well and I will be here today. Please DO NOT AUTO me. I NEVER take auto picks.

no chris always does staggard windows it's only 2 hrs after the last pick, and you did have 2 hrs after the last pick It's been staggered since the beginning, it's a 4-hour window so people know they have around that time to either pick or only worry about providing a short list. Let's swap O'Leary with Nabholz. Shouldn't affect the draft. done |

It's been staggered since the beginning, it's a 4-hour window so people know they have around that time to either pick or only worry about providing a short list. If I pick behind a team that takes their time, I have a 90 minutes window to be here. If I pick behind some teams that draft asap, as it appears I'm doing now, then I have an entire half a day. Only asking the question, but why is staggered better than just telling the team before me that they have 8-10 and I'm 10-12? I know at 9 that I need to start getting ready. But with the staggered times, I can show up during my window and the team before me hasn't picked yet. Worse, occasionally they'll go past their window, and cut in on my time because the mod isn't here to autodraft. If that happens, the team should be able to jump ahead of the preceding team. I also have to agree with Chicago when they say it feels like we rush through the draft at times. If it's your turn, and you're ready, great! But once I see my timeslot, that's when I usually plan to be here. Oh, and Happy Birthday! |

LA's was 1200pm - 4 pm and he posted right about 4, and Chris had zero window
LA picked 30 mins after his time expired, not right at 4.
I was online. |

I didn't see that.
So basically, teams are allowed to go over there time if no draft mods are online. Got it. |

I also have to agree with Chicago when they say it feels like we rush through the draft at times. If it's your turn, and you're ready, great! But once I see my timeslot, that's when I usually plan to be here. Oh, and Happy Birthday! I've always done windows because I wanted to provide predictability for when teams needed to pick. Without windows, when you're 10 picks out, you're at the mercy of 9 owners in front of you and the draft could be as fast as 30 minutes or as long as 2 days. If I set a window, you know you have precise 4-hour window. The reason I do staggered because of 2 reasons --- 4 hours is better than 2 hours, giving the appearance of a large window which appeals to owners. Also, 4 hours is longer than 2 hours, so if they were stacked windows, the draft would take forever. This does not mean I want to "rush" the draft either, I just want to provide a consistently-run draft that is predictable. As for picking in the window itself. There will be times where you are waiting for the other team, and that's OK. At that point, you need to be prepared to provide a 2-man list. Better than a 10-man list! There will also be times where you are waiting for the MOD to enforce the pick. That's life and that's OK. At that point, you need to be prepared to provide a 2-man list. This also keeps me and Brian in check, to try to check in 3-4 times a day. As for allowing a team to jump ahead of the preceding team, that's an interesting concept but we would need limits. Would be open to rule changes, as I always have. Also, I am willing to consider stacked windows, but it would have to be 2 hour windows. Thoughts? |

I mean we do our best, but like during the last draft we were dealing with what looked like a hack of the system so I didn't pay attention to the forum for about 5 hours. |

He's been busy finishing school, working a couple jobs and my parents sold their house as well. Gonna be a busy September.
He will probably come back to take an expansion team.

As for allowing a team to jump ahead of the preceding team, that's an interesting concept but we would need limits. Would be open to rule changes, as I always have. Also, I am willing to consider stacked windows, but it would have to be 2 hour windows. Thoughts? The idea was based on one experience I had a few drafts ago. The team ahead of me didn't pick in time, but neither did it get auto'd. My time slot was either about to expire, or had already expired, and I still wasn't able to make a pick. It *should* be auto'd, but I also shouldn't be penalized if I'm here and fail to make a pick due to the scenario I just described. We're a league of 26 different people, at various stages of life with varying amounts of time we can and want to invest into this league. I would much prefer to make my pick live instead of sending a list, and sometimes the flow of the draft makes that difficult if the timeframes aren't followed. Auto would be a better solution than skipping a team, especially since we've had drafts where half of the teams don't make picks. In the aforementioned scenario, where I have no time left and still can't pick, it wouldn't hurt to pause the draft at that point and re-set the timeframes rather than trying to cram all the picks in there. That's the only reason I stated it's felt rushed at times. |

That's the only reason I stated it's felt rushed at times. whenever that happens chris or I reset the times. it sucks if we both are tied up at the same time, and if we could get another draft mod it would help out, but at times, life happens. if you are on and able to have the game do a auto pick I would say feel free to do so. occasionally that's what happens in lbb, not a draft mod there but shale will ask anyone that has the ability to post an auto, and if I'm available, I do. |

I can normally do draft stuff if help is needed. From 4PM today until Tuesday I probably can't though.
