Once the clock is on how long do we have to pick?

by **Ninersphan** » Thu Oct 20, 2005 1:44 pm

Once the clock is on:

3 hours per pick

clock starts 10am edt shuts off 9pm edt

No clock on weekends

Corners get 6 hours, (not that I'll use them, doubt Hawk will either.

anything else???

I'm happy to be the answer man :lol:

BTW these are the same rules we use everytime. :wink:

OK Answer Man, why do the corners get 6 hours? I have yet to hear a logical explanation for this. :? :wink:

Cuz they have two picks back-to-back. It's rarely an issue however.

Short answer, to make Arryl or maybe it was Abner happy. :wink:

Long answer, 'cause if it wasn't serpentine it would be 3 hours per pick or 36 hours per round. You have to look at each round as an individual entity. So you get 3 hours for round 1 and 3 for round 2. just like the guy picking at 11 and 14.

I've heard both sides of the argument and I can agree with both.
so call it a Bonus for having the won the league and a reward for having the worst record.

Final reason, I'm the commish and I say so. :lol: :wink:

We're draaaaaaaaagggggginnnnn'

It might have been to make me happy LOL ... as JeepDriver (and probably several others) can attest to, I am a strong proponent for giving the guy on the corner the full alloted time for each of his picks.

I can understand the opposing point of view, but I have yet to be convinced that it is fairer for the league or the owner in question to have the corner pickers be denied what every other owner in the serpentine draft gets (a full 2-3-4 hours per pick - depending on the draft clock obviously).

I like all of your reasons Ninersphan! ;)

Silver does know we've started right?

Just checked, his last post was - 18 Oct 2005 21:31 That was Tuesday evening. Must be away.

Oh well, clock starts soon (just in time for the weekend! :))

I'm sure we'll get rolling once everyone is back in the groove. This league usually does.

I'm off to bed. I'm 7 picks away from my next pick, so I left 6 proxies.

Just kidding. :P I left 7. :wink:

by **Wineman** » Thu Oct 20, 2005 6:20 pm

It's more exciting to leave one less proxy, Big. :wink: We'll try and get you down to that #7 proxy with our pick. :P Silver is usually pretty good about keeping things moving so hopefully we'll get rolling here soon. zzzzzzzzz.
