trutrojan8 Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 10 hours for round 16 is kinda ridiculous haha.. I'd say for rounds 10-16 make it like 5 or 6 hours. Odds are nobody's gonna be picked #280 that'll make a big difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomarFachix Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Well its going to be done offline. How would you like the time restraints to be?I don't think you need more than 4-6 hours to make a selection in a draft like this, especially if you have a big board submitted for each round. If you get 14 hours to pick, that could be one pick in a day. It would be boring (even if we are trying to drag it out). You could even make it 2 hours per pick, and then have overnight be a dead time where the clock is off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted July 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Trutrojan I have no problem reducing the time I just dont want anyone bitching that they got skipped late, thats when people claim he wanted this guy cuz he was their so called sleeper. IllWill I like I said before let me know what you think is best and we will see if everyone else agrees to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moeroadkill Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 well it cant be too short at least 9+ hours for the first few rounds because i remember last time we did offline i was in bed when majority of you guys picked and you were waiting for me and i came online to and i had like 50 messages saying its my pick but i dont have a problem with writing a list for someone and they pick for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's a time limit, it has to be adhered to. If people get bored and want to go faster, that's the problem with an offline draft.. you have to finish a full round at least and set a shorter time limit for next round. IllWill I like I said before let me know what you think is best and we will see if everyone else agrees to it.Well I think I did.. I think 4-6 hours is fine for the start, and if we want to reduce it later, we agree on a time and set it to start the next round (plenty of warning for guys).

NomarFachix Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 If you have a big board for each round submitted, there is no reason to wait 9 hours per pick. That's crazy talk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted July 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Aight so this is what im thinking now... Rounds 1-3: 6hrsRounds 4-6: 4hrsRounds 7-17: 3hrs Now the only problem is what if I make a pick at one in the morning, and your next are you suppose to make the pick before 4am?

The Regime Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Different time zones definitly pose an issue, that's why I had a 10 hour pick deadline set up for last seasons draft. The NFL season is a ways away, I don't see why we need to rush through the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChosenOne Posted July 27, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 Aight so this is what im thinking now is.. Rounds 1-3: 8hrsRounds 4-6: 6hrsRounds 7-17: 4hrs The time limit seems to be good and I think we will begin this on friday. I am gonna be strict with the limit during the day but I wont be an ass to anyone if they get put on the clock late night. I would like a round by round list from everyone when we start this. Everyone has till friday to put in their thoughts after that this will be final if not changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Say, from 1 AM EST to 8 AM EST you are not required to pick while on the clock. Doesn't keep you from picking if you're up/available, but also doesn't count against you if you're sleeping lol.

Glad you like it, I dont like the time restrait thing because of time zones, your 8 am is my 5am so it will only cause confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trutrojan8 Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 We should start the draft as soon as we can IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Regime Posted July 27, 2011 Report Share Posted July 27, 2011 We should start the draft as soon as we can IMO I agree. Figure out the positions, and get this started by tonight. We should be done in a couple of weeks max. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
