Per my post on the Theme League Thread, I am ok with your suggestion to start the 6 round draft early. As long as DD does not skip anyones pick or auto-draft their pick without their consent it is fine. If picks do start early and there is an DD draft issue, the DD draft will be voided and started in its entirety at the official time.
The remaining picks would start at 9:30pm w/2 min clock.
I am not chasing after the other 10 guys, so if you wish, you can contact them, and let them know they can start if they want too.
