I am in one now that is really slow. After 6 days we are still in the 3rd round. What are things that you do to speed them up? In this one no time limit was set. Is there usually a time limit? I've done them before and it was never like this.

I usually do one slow draft a year and someone always complains that it's going too slow lol. I'm one that wants it very slow. What is the rush? Enjoy it. Last i checked the regular season doesnt start for couple weeks. It comes around but once a year. Maybe owners want to see this weekends 3rd Pre season games which are huge in evaluating players....... And on the comment about live drafts that are under 2 hours? no thanks!! im all about have dun, drink beer, trash talk. make a day of it! Slow it down slow it down lmao

We've been doing slow drafts in HOT for 9 years (12 teams). This year we finished in 6 days:

As commish I try to be on the site as much as possible and after an hour or so I'll call or email the owners to encourage them to pick and/or pre-select. Mind you, if the owners weren't the great bunch of guys that they are, tempers could flare. Also don't think we are all retired w/ nothing to do. More than half work and the rest of us aren't watching Soaps or Oprah all day. :razz:

Another pick that has gone over 24 hrs.

 

 

There are the commissioner's fault. Gotta have the balls to tell the owners they need to get it done and put timers on it. 6 hours with timer off overnight it a huge amount of time, and anyone paying a modicum of attention can pre-load a list with 3-4 players when their turn is coming up.
