Yes, a 4 hour window is set-up.
Here's the way I understand it to work: If the prior player goes beyond that time, the next player can go in and make a manual pick. My understanding is that the skipped player can come back and make their pick anytime after, but the rest can keep moving via manual picks (in other words the site will not show them as "up" but they can pick anyway if the four hours has passed). The person skipped basically loses the right to choose the players selected by subsequent owners.
This has never happened in one of my drafts here, but it was explained to me this way - can one of the others confirm this is the way it works?
Since proxies aren't working maybe this won't either - we will see. Either way we are all in the same boat.

If the person ahead of me makes his pick at 1:00 AM EST and my time expires at 5:00 AM EST and the guys behind me get up earlier than me and I lose out on a guy I will be pissed. So will anyone else that happened to. I understand we want to keep moving but the clock can only be on if proxies are working, which they are not.

[quote:61561174c4="gfdwarf07"]And Jett - good luck with Frank's big hands on Defense! And his gun for an arm.
though he'll probably hit a hundred dingers to make up for it![/quote:61561174c4]
He'll play 1B and have a fine defensive replacement to back him up

Yup Jett, good to have a cornerstone 4e30 at 1B!
Just getting you back for the narc thing yesterday....
Let the trash talk begin!
And don't get too worked up - the clock is off at night.
