    FFS 1pm?

    Why not make it a smaller time frame?

    We'd be glad to accept the first pick of the draft, you know, to kinda kickstart things.;)

    After the first round we'll shorten the time frame to one hour but it's important that everybody gets their first pick in.

    Why couldn't we have made it like a Fantasy Football draft here in the States where everyone needs to be online and make their picks within a minute or so?

    I think most people will take only a few minutes anyway.
    Btw green94 is here.

    We'll see how it goes though.

    No it means that the spot is vacant and a new person has to step in and grab it.
    I'll try to find someone to fill in.

    If most people want that I'll be fine with it tbh but keep in mind this means that they pick first in the second round as the order reverses every round.

    Me and Toon could break off, and I would take Sir manc's spot to facilitate things if all else fails. Although, I like my team partner..;)

    Alright well I'm using my buddies on the Chelsea board as emergency fillers but a lot of them are old and grumpy and don't do these kinds of things. If the person I just PMed doesn't want to do it then I'd be fine if you broke off as long as Toon is okay with it.

    I want my sweater back...:D

    In all seriousness I've got no problem breaking off if it helps move this along.

    Where's this twix character? 11am means 11am.

    The person I PMed declined the offer so you guys can split if you want. It may be a few hours at this rate before the fifth pick comes up though.

    I say after the first round you make the picks like minutes apart. Make everyone be by their computers for maybe an hour tops and finish this.

    If everyone agreed, I think that would be best.

    I see where you're coming from and I'm starting to realize how hard this must be for some of you guys so here's my proposal:

    Everyone gets 15 minutes to make their pick starting now after the last person makes their pick. Whatever the order people end up making their picks in this round becomes the permanent order. Twix and benni have fifteen minutes to claim their second pick starting now.

    Oh yeah and we don't start the second round until after all of the people in the first round make their picks.

    Sound good?
