$150 Slow Draft League 13 Is SOLD OUT

Post by Greg Ambrosius » Thu Aug 25, 2011 4:15 am

We could reduce the clock to 8 hours for these last two, but the key is making sure that everyone who is in these leagues is ready to draft. We CAN'T go past the Thursday game or the results won't count. So as Rich said, sign up if you like and we'll get it started as soon as it's filled. But everyone MUST be prepared to draft and finish this in 12 days. Sign up with the idea that you're going to be very diligent and pick in a couple of hours when it's your time, unless you're sleeping. Otherwise, we won't fool ourselves by starting a league we can't finish in time. Thanks all.

I would certainly be in favor of a shorter draft clock. Let's fill this up!

I'll sign uo also. But, EVERYONE signing up has to commit to being extremely attentive to getting their picks in quickly.
Assuming this starts Saturday, that gives us 12 days to complete it. Assuming about 8 hours downtime each day when everyone is sleeping, that leaves 192 available hours to draft. With 420 picks to be made that means, on average, 2.18 picks have to be made each hour.....or a pick every 27 minutes.
So, it really doesn't matter if we use an 10 hour clock or an 8 hour clock or a 2 hour clock. To finish an 30 round 14 team draft that starts on Saturday, prior to the start of the season, A PICK HAS TO BE MADE, ON AVERAGE, EVERY 27 MINUTES.

i say we lower the clock to 1 minute per pick!

or why don't we get an email list of everyone in the league and set up an evening where everyone can be online for a couple of hours...
i will set it up if i can get everyone's email addresses.
