As we move toward the third round, to avoid any confusion each league has one third rounder missing due to supplemental draft picks last year.

My AFFL team doesn't pick until we get into the 200s, so haven't been as glued to the selections. Things were bunched into slightly tighter windows this year for rounds 2-7 (12 minute windows versus 15 in the past) to squeeze two full rounds in a day.

Let me know if things feel about right, too fast or slow if any tweaks to that for next year. Thanks

I don't have any information as to the past, but I definitely like that the rounds are completed when the day is over as opposed to leaving ~5-8 picks to the next day.

I'm okay w/ the speed...but something that would help would be a system generated email when the pick is ready. I've had 10-12 guys in my queue for both picks and all have been chosen. With my work schedule, and being firewalled at work I can't just up and check all the time on my phone. With an email letting me know I am now on the clock would definitely help.

I know something for next year, but it would really help with a retail schedule such as mine.

That's why there are time slots for every pick just like there's been on day one.

Can't get here early for your pick? No problem b/c you already know when its due, and if you can't be around, you should have more people in your queue.

Definitely preferred the 1 round a day format vs. the 2 a day.
