2012 Draft Preferences
Posted: Sat Apr 28, 2012 5:56 pm
Based upon people's posted schedules (and of course we can't accodate all but take it into consideration) and what's left to do with finishing up free agency and giving teams time to prepare for their draft, I'm thinking Saturday May 12 or Monday 14 seem like good dates to start. I believe we tend to do Monday starts, but starting on 5/12 might have the least amount of conflicts of the information posted. It would give us two weekend days and two work days.
We have draft windows. Teams will know their pick is on the clock between certain times. If they aren't there it picks based upon your list of pre-ranked players. If you don't have a list or all selected form your list, it defaults to top available guy based upon NFL draft selection order. But ideally it helps busier people knowing their pick is due at a certain time to try to be around a computer then.
There were some comments in the past about things dragging and too much time between picks and more than 1 round per day would be better, so we'll put up some options about that.
My suggestion would be a little similar to how the NFL does it, but extending from their 3-day draft to a 4-day for us. That would be day 1 - round one. Day 2 - rounds 2-3. Day 3 - rounds 4-5. Day 4 - rounds 6-7. But we'll also have an option for one round per day and see what people prefer.
Last year it was 20 minute windows in rounds 1-2 and 15 minute windows in rounds 3-7. That may or may not change based upon support for one round per day or two and how it works out mathematically, but probably more like 10 minute windows with 2 rounds per day.
