Any objections if we make it 8 hour intervals rather than 12? With time-outs and 14 Drafters the rounds are mind numbingly long.

I think 8 hrs would be better as well. You lose some of the excitement of the draft currently...

The normal awards that everyone else has
Make it 8, or even 6. Makes it tick over a lot quicker and makes it far more likely that the rounds will move quicker.

Happy to switch to 8 hours (I think 6 hours is a bit short - don't really want to wake up and find 5 people have superseded my pick).

Or we could have future rounds drawn in pairs, and each member of the pair has to pick within 12 hours or be timed out?

I think starting from round 3 it should be 8h. Keep it simple. The pair thing could cause issues with people picking the same players...

Can I make my pick now? Night time here in Singapore and probably can't do anything after this till next morning.

Good point. Will go with 8 hours from round 3 unless I'm inundated with complaints.

8 hours? If you can't stand the idea of someone not picking while they're asleep or at work have a bloody look at yourself.

Goddam pick gestapo at it again
