AF Dickie - you can always PM your proxy to blackjack, and he can make the pick for you (I think) when he starts up the clock. Just remember there are a few 2nd round picks to be made.
CATom - we do have a provision for changing the rules - we can vote on it. But this seems to me like a procedural matter, within the authority of the commish.
Some of the guys in this draft are newbies, and may be having trouble with proxies. In any case, these guys have been punished enough (IMO) for not having proxies in and we should give them the courtesy of at least waiting through this evening.
Even on a two hour clock, we should be able to do around every other day, and the one hour clock should get us through more than a round per day.
We should probably limit the pace of the draft to a round a day anyway, so we all don't have to have 80 proxies in.

Honestly, I hope we can get 2 rounds in a day. After today -- a holiday -- there won't be any mercy for missed picks. The pace was a bit too fast, though, thanks to Diamond Dope and that was fixed. The 30-minute limit is more of a time slot/message board draft, than a DD issue that I didn't even think of. That is my fault. Most drafts have a 3-hour window. We were going six times that fast, so I should have know how darn fast things would start moving and I apologize to the league.

Re: do i have to wait for my rd 3 pick?

[quote:3c40a6adb1="AF Dickie"]I'd like to pick before I leave for work tomorrow morning. I leave at like 6. I can do proxies but wont have access tomorrow until late night. Please advise.[/quote:3c40a6adb1]

AF Dickie & rburgh- actually I don't think I can do that with DD, Stratdraft allows administrators to do that but DD does not have that feature (unless I'm missing it). You get what you pay for :roll:. Is DD keeping you from drafting your 3rd pick or are you just waiting?
If you can pick in the AM before you go to work go ahead, if MJ and Cubit have not picked by then they are out of luck. If you can't wait go ahead and pick tonight as late as is convenient, if Turtle and the champ can turn off proxy's for tonight please do so, if not leave them on and let it roll.

the way the rules are written it appears to me that a prospect like bryce harper would be available in our first prospect draft but a prospect like mike trout would not be. is this correct?

I believe that is correct. At least how I read it.
