No reason for an hour in the first round. Its ridiculous. I am shocked that 13 teams voted against it. I thought maybe 5. If you can't come up with 30 players for the first round then you probably shouldn't be playing this game.

Is it really so ridiculous to allow an hour?
I agree it's frustrating to watch the time click by however, I myself like to manually make my first round pick. I have a good idea of whom I will pick but there are sometimes I need that extra time to look things over and also, because, well, there is this thing called work. You fuckers need to lighten up!

I usually have my pick within a half hour anyways but I can understand having an hour to pick. I mean the draft completes in two days now anyway.

When you consider no one really makes a pick after 30 minutes, kinda.


I'm guessing just about everyone that goes over 30 minutes go the entire hour then just get auto'ed.

Ha, you are guessing. Seeing how there are thirteen votes and they have not changed it looks like the draft timer is staying as is.

Didn't help that you can't change your vote... Blame Seattle.


Also the last two seasons zero picks have been made after 30 minutes that didn't go to auto.

It's hard to discern between Shel and Sheltown. Sheltown, deserves plenty of doubt.....!

I was just following along with NDL tradition and voting no against things that made logical since.

What's the final verdict here? Did this one need 60% or simple majority?

That shit aint gonna happen. 9 teams have a list and only 3 have auto/list pick selected. And then for this to start on a Saturday, it'll be slow
