This draft style seems to depend on each of us doing our part to make our picks as soon as possible as a courtesy to each other. Since we can’t provide a short list to anyone to make proxy picks, we are inevitably going to be at the mercy of the person currently up.
Aside from the big overnight gaps, most of us are picking in under an hour, and there are a couple savages around 30 minutes. However, there are some of us pushing almost a 2 hour average to make a pick.
In a vacuum , that doesn’t seem bad at all. But I thought we had a hard deadline for someone (can’t remember who or the reason). I saw in a post that we had to get through 1 round per day to be ok. I foresee these remaining rounds as being taking longer because of so many seasons becoming blacklisted. People might be trial and error more to try and use as much cap as possible efficiently, or view others potential lineup to give them a team whose best players play a position they already have filled to really “screw your neighbor”. These strategies are legitimate and seem to be the fun part of why we or at least I joined this draft league.
Having said all that, I do not see a way of forcing things to speed up. Do you set a time limit and get skipped if you don’t pick within that amount of time. Or at least check in to say you are in the process of making a pick? Anyway, I don’t care for myself, I was just going by what I thought the commissioner said.
keep up the good work and good luck to all.
