reminder...we're not talking about 6 or 8 hour gaps. 12 to 24 hours has been fairly common. I did not expect to invest over 2 months on t his and that is the pace. Like others have said, some of us are hitting refresh all day to see the draft progress.

If you are hitting refresh all day then you are being over-anxious.

Sorry, I don't get it. I think the Drafting is the best part of a league like this. I think playing the season is what drags.

I don’t know that it’s overanxious. I’m not obsessively hitting refresh every two minutes. But I try to do a quick check in every half hour or so. If everyone checks in every 4-6 hours, this draft will never end.

Im definitely not looking to rush anything. But 12+ hour waits do suck the fun out of things.

What if we opened to two rounds at a time. I think limiting to two current rounds of drafting would keep the concept of building slowly while allow for a little more progress.

Round 9 Pick 3

Padres select

Ozzie Smith SS

I'm sure we all appreciate Nebhusker running this. When these discussions get a little ugly I'm sure it might make him wonder why even bother running the draft. Let's just go with Neb's decision and move on. Putting a clock on it because it's on a 2 month pace would be his right. Heck this is dragging out as long as a season. When you run one of these you just try to do what's right and what works for MOST of the people. Good luck to all and let's enjoy the draft. (and pace seems to be picking up!) ...or until I said this!!
