Live Draft limbo Topic

I'm the commish of a live draft league that completed its draft yesterday (everyone done drafting, no outstanding picks).  At this point, everyone has to pick a team name and stadium and enter their teams.  Apparently at least one owner is holding us up; however, I can't even see who it is.  I sitemailed everyone a couple of times about what they needed to do after the draft.  I've also sent a ticket in to Admin.  

Can anyone with more experience than me running a live draft (this is my first) tell me what I can do at this point?  The draft itself went very smoothly, but it's very frustrating to be stuck now and not even know the reason.

I have been in several live drafts (although never run one) and this seems to happen every time.  I might advise that you are not waiting on anyone and in fact the system is just delayed.  This question seems to come up every time.  I would wait and see what happens today ad then really get into Admin.  At least all the owners drafted their teams.  I have been in a league where a guy disappears.  That is a nightmare.

Thanks.  This did happen in the only other live draft I was ever involved in, so maybe it is the system.  It would be good to know, though, one way or the other, what the reason for the delay was.

I think admin is screwing with us because the draft went so smootly!

Got a response on my ticket, and Admin says there will be a schedule within 12 hours.  I also asked about what the standard amount of time is for getting a schedule in a live draft league, and was told:

When a team doesn't enter team name / ballpark and it's more than 24 hours after last pick, there's an Admin draft chat added.

Good to know for future reference.
