Two hours...

Amazes me that Sanchez still shreads/disects a defense like he did in High School.

It depends on where I draft. If I am in Vegas I want it to be 4 hours to allow me time to get to and from the Chicken Ranch brothel in the desert. If I am in NYC I want it to be 45 minutes so I just eat the cookies provided at the draft and I do not get robbed for the $16 hamburger.

So it all depends on where I draft Billy. I will get back to you.

Russ,

Thats all I need to be properly relaxed for the second draft!

You say "1:58" as if you know for 'certain' how long it takes.

very funny!

2 hours is plenty if it opens up other options. I also wouldn't be opposed to starting 1-3 hours earlier if another draft is possible.

I did only the NBC last year. If I do both this year I would prefer only 2 hours in between. It's down time and trying to kill 3 hours is more than most of us need or want.

Pete This is a solid thread and I appreciate the input, but from our standpoint I need to make sure we can get the rooms cleaned up from the first draft and the next draft set up in a quick enough time to keep everyone happy. I thought we did a great job in each location whipping up the rooms for the next draft and in most cases our staffers did the turnaround rather than wait for hotel staff to get it done. A two-hour turnaround is pushing it a bit, I believe, but we'll see.

In Las Vegas, all first drafts were done by 12:30 and we cleaned the U's and took out of the old boards and set up the new boards before 2:00. That gave our staff time to refresh, get a bite to eat and then welcome the next drafters at 3:00. If we started at 3:00, the next set of drafters would be walking into our cleanup efforts and staffers would be hard-pressed to get a break. But we'll see how it plays out.

Again, in Las Vegas there seemed to be less of a resolve to limit it to two hours since there was plenty to do in the interim at the Flamingo. But we'll consider a two-hour split and what the heck maybe try for the Trifecta at night with another draft.

Seriously, we'll talk this through and appreciate the input.
