Hey I just want to make sure the draft format is:
ABBABBABBABB
and not
ABBABABABABA

Is that correct?

Yes.  We are going back to a snake draft after round four.

I can definitely see your point ash, but how else would it work? If you only allow a 1 hour time slot for the 10 pm pick then allow the draft to continue, will it actually speed things up? I mean most people sleep at night anyway right? And what you end up creating is a round the clock free for all. If the 1st guy in the morning has a draft slot time, why would it be okay for that guy to be able to select before his slot if they guy before him has not picked? Nobody else gets to do that.

Yeah, I actually got to thinking more about it and figured out why it is the way that it is.  I still think there should be some kind of penalty for making your draft pick 10 hours after your time starts, but oh well!

I do want to address this, though:
"If the 1st guy in the morning has a draft slot time, why would it be okay for that guy to be able to select before his slot if they guy before him has not picked?"
Because that guy missed his draft slot.  Remember the NFL a few years ago when Minnesota or somebody missed their slot and four or five teams rushed their picks in?  It should be that way.  Consequently, if Joe Blow is the last pick of round 3 (and round 3 is the last round of the day), I don't reckon they'd let the first pick of round 4 jump in since round 4 wasn't scheduled to start till the next day.

Anyway, it's just a meh situation, and as long as schwarez doesn't **** me on it tonight, I'll be okay.  I'm going to be mad as hell if I have to get up at 9:30 to make my pick.  The WIS draft schedule is not east coast/night owl friendly!

I think we're on the same page here- I may not have stated my thought clearly. What I meant is that the last time slot of the day has until 8am the next day as his slot. So the 8am guy cannot and (should not) select until either the guy before him selects (say at 3am) or until his time slot (8am) whichever comes first.

Yeah it's that 10 hour draft slot that I'm jealous of.  But yeah, I can't think of a better way to do it that wouldn't just cause more trouble.

sorry for the rant here on the draft thread, all.

ash... I plan on making my two picks tonight (assuming everybody in front of me has picked), but even if I didn't, you'd have until 11:00 AM before the next person could make a pick. 

Im torn between 2 players

shooter- trade me your current pick for my 5th and 6th round pick and you won't have to make the tough decision.

It doesn't matter if people in front of you haven't picked; once their time slot is past, it's your time to go.  In many draft leagues we can get through the first 3 or 4 picks of the next day at a turnaround.

Don't take my players!
