Whenever works for me. I use my own laptop at work and they don't really care what I do so it doesn't matter.

Okay, I blew up the previous poll. One round per day was running away with it and our date choices seemed in need of updating. Saturday May 19th is my wife's birthday, so there will be parts of that day I wouldn't be around (but I don't sit at it 24/7 anyway so long as I can verify it's up and running okay) but adding that option for the next weekend as some suggested.

May 19th is bad for me. My daughter's second birthday party is set for that day, and I'll be knee deep in toddlers most of the day. If possible, I'd prefer to start the draft on the weekend of May 12th. Otherwise, it would be better for me if we start the draft on Sunday the 20th or as late in the day as possible on the 19th.

I voted for Monday, but am open to other suggestions.

I think that I speak for all the married guys on here when I say, that it would be nice to avoid having any rounds on Mother's Day. Have stuff all day with both families. However, I can set my que to draft who I want or try to make a trade if it doesn't work out the way I want it to.

As far as other days, there is going to be a few GMs, no matter what, who object to the date.

About the length, I understand the complaints. However, you don't have to look at the website all day. It is easy to estimate when you are going to pick. And if you set your draft que then you technically don't have to be on at all.

That all being said, I like the commish's new format.

If I had two votes - I would say Monday, May 14 or Saturday, May 19.

i orignally voted for may 19th. but since not much interest in it i voted for the other saturday. Because it just doesnt feel right trying to do the draft all week long. Would love to see the first couple rounds on the weekend.

Why can't we have round 1 on Saturday the 12th and then skip Sunday and pick up round 2 on Monday?
