football chick Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I am running a league, everyone lives in different states/locations. We can't come up with a time to do an online draft, so may have to resort to an auto-draft .... Is this as sucky as it sounds? What has your experience been? THanks.

Hugh 0ne Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 (edited) Terrible. Don't do it. Do a slow draft. We're drafting a 32 team league right now, you can imagine the scheduling conflicts, but if everyone pays attention a little, and pre-selects when possible, it can get done in an efficient manner.

irish Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Autopick drafts suck big time! You can never set up your list to draft the way you actually would if you did it live. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wolv Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 Pretty common occurrence. If you can't slow draft, then find a time to live draft online that suits the most people, and the remainder have the option to prerank and autodraft. Tough luck for them, but no way do I autodraft an entire league because of 1 or a few individuals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh 0ne Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 What is a slow draft? A draft that is slow. Basically an online draft, where people have time to make picks. It will run during certain hours, during which the drafters are expected to be somewhat attentive. Usually off the clock on the weekend. Gives people a little flexibility and time to make picks, and if they're attentive they can pre-select. You can get a full draft done in a couple of days if the owners are accessible.
