Draft Times

By Ares

Is there any reason for the draft to start so early in the day? It finishes up just around when most folk would be getting off of work, and personally I think it'd be better to have it start and finish later in the day. I also think that it'd probably be better to change both the 1st round and 2nd round to both have 15 minutes between picks. No reason for them to have different time lapses, since there's an equal number of picks happening each day, and both of their current times seems longer than necessary.

Works out well for me, the draft starts at 1 pm and ends around midnight for the 1st round.

I'm at work in the afternoons & like the draft the way it is.

The reason it starts early in the US is so that our friends across the pond also have a reasonable schedule.

The 1st rd starts at 7am and ends around 10 pm for me. Which sucks cause I work overnights so I'm sleeping throughout it normally but I deal with it cause I know I'm in the minority.

I'm doing an allocation draft and many of the picks go waaaay past my bedtime, swings and roundabouts
