I know there is alot going on with the playoff basketball and if you're in the midwest one of the first nice weekends we've got. So please check the board if you have a pick coming up. At least send a small list to London and we can get these rounds going quicker for the time being.

Looks like we're not enforcing the 3 hour rule here..

I think if the next pick sees that it's been over 3 hrs they should just go ahead and pick. That being said, I'm keeping my vote at no. There's still some serviceable players available. Maybe I'll change my mind by the time my next pick rolls around though.

I've been waiting 4+ hours for my pick...come on! The 3-hour rule needs to be enforced, yes, but what happens to the guys whose turn comes up at 2am? Should they stay awake till 2 or wake up at 5 just to get a pick for the 8th+ round?

Maybe we give it the 3hr rule during non sleeping hours. Anything after 11pm and before 10am won't be forced unless the team doesn't care. However a simple 3-4 player list for the teams that may come up isn't so much to ask for at this stage.

I agree. I'm actually done. I'll let London auto-pick the rest of my roster. I have 4-5 young guys who I want to see develop and the rest of the roster is fodder for the next year or two. No way I win more than 25 games, but I think I've got future stars at PG, SG, and PF, along with sick bench players at PG & SG. Should be interesting...

If enough people are willing to shift their stance to CPU finishing the draft, I think it would be a GREAT idea.
There was tons of activity the first couple days (people drafting franchise cornerstones and what not), but activity (IMO) has died off considerably. It seems like every time I'm on, there's like 4-6 guys on (because no one has picks coming up soon, etc.)
The guys are ready for the league to start (IMO) and it'd be great to fill out the rosters quickly. There are ZERO impact players remaining that will change the fortune of your rosters (IMO), so why the love affair with drafting this late?

Yeah - only thing I would make sure is to not saddle someone with a bad contract, if there are any remaining.

Our committee should make it mandatory that EVERYONE votes in this poll.
21 teams have voted and this draft is taking forever. If you aren't checking the creation draft often, then vote YES and wrap this up. And if you've voted to NOT sim the draft, then I would hope you aren't one of the teams holding up the process.

I don't understand why we moved away from a round a day? Even if it's all offline, people can send in their lists and people who don't can have their picks simmed. John can just announce the time of each round or even 2 or event 3 later on ahead of time. It keep things timely while catering to the people who still want to have some control over their team.
edit: Also if you want to do it live, we can actually enforce time limits now. 30 seconds-1 minute depending on the round.

If you know your pick is coming in the near future, send a small list so that when your pick comes up, John can give you your guy,

At the very least, we need to finish this damn 7th round today. Whoever doesn't send a list by a certain time gets CPU'd.

We're still making decent progress and I have some lists but I'll only be able to check in every few hours to double check that.

I'm still in the No camp for now. I need guys to fill out my roster and there are still enough guys through round 8 for me then I may switch. However there are still guys that can contribute to the contending teams so I'd imagine they might care about who they get still. Maybe not

I'm actually voting yes as well, even with my lack of actual roster players. It's becoming increasingly hard to make a list out of the remaining scraps.

I'll switch to "Yes" after I make my 8th round #2 pick.

There will still be some mediocre talent in the 8th but Id rather start and work with what I have then go through 3-5 more days of this slow activity and not being able to see full rosters, salaries, picks, ect.. and on top of that, getting the first season underway.

Looks like we're not enforcing the 3 hour rule here.. We're trying but I can't be on here 24 hours a day.
