Can I ask a favor of managers who make manual picks?
After making a manual pick, please wait around for 5 minutes refreshing the draft... to see if proxies fire all the way to your next manual pick? Proxies fire at even 5 minute intervals, so after a manual pick there is anywhere from less than a minute (min) to 5 minute (max) wait before proxy firing.
Case in point...
A manager made their manual pick at 11:01PM... 6 proxies fired at 11:05PM, putting the draft right back to the same manual-picking manager. In this case, waiting around for less than 4 minutes to make another manual pick could have kept the draft moving... instead I've been waiting over 1 HOUR AND 40 MINUTES (updated at 1242AM) to see if I could make my pick before I go to bed (my pick is the NEXT ONE after the manual selection we're waiting on).
I'm not trying to single out one manager... so apologies to the "case in point" manager (un-named here!)... I am just trying to make a general appeal to those who manual pick... especially those close to the corners where proxies more frequently put picks right back to the same manager.
