It's not likely. Not with how long it's taking to get picks in for absentee GMs.Do you think we will finish tonight?

Not a bad idea since there is really no time constraint.I've done a million of these things ..at the world famous DCU, the sheep zone, other forums. Absentee GM's are the worst. Have you guys considered maybe doing one round per day and narrowing the hours each day?
I really don't think there is a good answer to absentee GMs. Outside of not letting them participate in the next year's draft and on a small board that isn't really an option.I've done a million of these things ..at the world famous DCU, the sheep zone, other forums.

You could have something tied to donations like a fine system. I just think by narrowing it down to a round a day it might be easier for people to commit.I really don't think there is a good answer to absentee GMs. Outside of not letting them participate in the next year's draft and on a small board that isn't really an option.
I'm not opposed to setting something like this up for future years. At least people can put an appt time style reminder in their phone and be around.A set timetable might be an option. Pick X will be Monday from 8:00 to 8:15 regardless of when the previous is sent in
You are still going to have delays because of getting picks in for the ones that don't show up. Because it's inevitably going to happen. But, I'm not against trying it.I'm not opposed to setting something like this up for future years. At least people can put an appt time style reminder in their phone and be around.
How did you enforce the mandatory lists?When we did the two segments in one day thing, we also had mandatory lists. It wasn't a big deal since at most you were sending a list of 16 players.
I was an emailing and texting nazi......How did you enforce the mandatory lists?
Now, this I can definitely get behind. Trying to get people to send in picks is a challenge.Also, another thing we did was when someone flaked we had a predetermined value board, like cbspsorts, and the no-show team would automatically get the top player available regardless of position or need. We justified it as no voting or rationalization, and that the actual draft often has picks that don't always make sense.
