Seems like the issue with the first pick got everyone's attention for a while and we plowed through a bunch of picks, but the draft rate has slowed significantly. 
 
Is everyone sending sitemails after their picks while we are off-the-clock?

Yes. And since most of us on the east coast are staying put, I am hopeful we can pick up the pace to keep me entertained...

This draft is going so well, I think I am going to start ON THE CLOCK drafting in the 3rd round.  I'll decide on the day when we get near the end of the 2nd.

Once we go "on the clock", your turn will be skipped if you don't pick by the end of your half hour time slot.
Does skipped mean you lose that pick?
No no kelly....you can make up that pick whenever you can.  It just means the next guy after you can draft and the following guy and so on.  The draft keeps going without your pick

Guys.....I do my drafts a little differently than some of you are used to.  I don't like skipped picks.  It is my feeling that everyone has their time slot each day, and knows when they are picking.  If they know they are going to miss that time, they can send a proxy list.  So, other than accidents/hospitalizations and other unplanned emergencies, there is really no excuse for anyone to miss a pick.

Therefore, if there is an owner skipped, the following owners don't HAVE TO pick in their time slot.  They can pick as soon as the guy in front of them makes their selection.  If we were on the clock today, and I miss my pick from 4-4:30, patco can pick at 4:31, dilligaf can pick at 4:32, roadhouse at 4:33 and so on if they are paying attention and ready.

ALSO, at the end of a scheduled draft day, the draft CAN continue in OFF THE CLOCK mode far into the evening, EVEN IF THERE ARE SKIPPED PICKS!!!  For example, lets say slainte makes his 2nd round pick in the clock at 9:45.  He is encouraged to make his 2rd round pick at the same time.  Then, if SouthHeat is still awake and would rather make his 3rd round pick that night instead of waiting til 10:30 in the morning, he can make that pick at, say 10 pm.  Then it's up to d_rock, and he has that same option, and so on.  Eventually, we will get to someone who has gone to bed and the draft will continue the next day.  I have no problem with getting ahead of the clock.  If it is easier with people's schedules to make those early round picks the night before, instead of waiting til the next day, I am FINE with that.  But skips are not allowed in those situations.  Does that make sense to everybody?
