NFL DECADE DRAFT LEAGUE (on the clock drafting) Topic

Stop having an *off-the-clock* first round??????


If people sign up for this kind of league they shouldnt need *messages* telling them the draft started or that they are up.
foxx, lets be real....if this is this bad doing an off the clock first round, how bad will it be when half the owners get skipped over the first two or three rounds of an on the clock draft???

The off the clock 1st round is because I want to get the draft started immediately after I finish the draft order and getting page one set up.  I could have finished that on Saturday and started the on the clock draft in round one on Wednesday.  But I was not going to start the schedule on Sunday or even Monday.  I believe you have to give everyone fair warning you are going to start.  If you don't, you are going to be halfway through a draft and have 10-15 owners skipped for the first two rounds who say "screw it, I'm not in anymore".  Then you are screwed totally with the only real option is going back to the start and re-filling in the classifieds all over again.

No, as frustrating as this is, an off the clock component is really the only way to start these until everyone gets up to speed and on the same page.

People...if you are not going to be able to pick when it is your turn, PLEASE send at least three other owners a proxy list of guys you would take if you could do it yourself!!!

Then stop complaining when the first round goes sooo slow.

Hey foxy...see how good I was?  I didn't say a word!  

Eight hours--one pick, and I just stayed quiet.  I should get a medal.

I SM'd the next three for you freedom.  Thanks for hopping on the draft train.  Now I just worry about isac, who hasn't opened his SM from me at 3 am after my pick.  Could be another long wait...

I used eight hours because the pick was made at 4:36.  Figuring that many people consider 8am or 9am as "getting up time and starting your day", I split the difference.  Yes, since I made MY pick at 3 am, it was more like 13 hours.  Is that better?
