That's a good question. I was afraid this would happen, but I also feared waiting to sign up and being shut out of Event 3 entirely. Hopefully things will pick up tomorrow. I will be on the road from Thursday morning until Sunday evening with no guarantee of Internet access. I will set my proxies and hope that I hit some hotspots along the way where I can use my laptop to check in on the progress of this draft.

This is like watching paint dry. When does the clock start?

You may want to see if Woods shows up today before turning on clock.. If you start skipping turns in the first round one may drop out and we could find it harder to get a replacement if needed. I would suggest we wait and see if his selection is made and if not, then look for a replacement before proceeding

Has anybody PM'd Woods or sent him an email?

Typically, there is no clock in the first round...

These live drafts are the Achilles heel of the tournament format. They are a great idea, but we definitely need a better way to execute them.

How long do we normally wait? Who decides if we look for a replacement?

I sent a PM to Teepack and also posted a page for Woods so hopefully we will get a response

I have sent him an e-mail to prompt him.
