Way back when I just scheduled everything and for the longest time there were no major issues. Then one season (I think the '04 or '05 draft) in the Davkar league we had a missed pick and it caused a problem. I would prefer to have everything scheduled but since we have run into a few issues with the first few picks (as recent as last season) so now I run the lottery picks untimed (for all leagues). Due to the importance of these picks I believe it's in the best interest of the league as a whole that there are no errors or skips with them. Most of the time it's not an issue since I try to leave plenty of days to get 12 picks in, however sometimes it takes longer than ideal. We'll get back on track now.
