FYI, here is the 10-0 vote from page 53 which established the 2-hour clock for the first round of every draft

and the official 2010 season notice from page 182 (emphasis added):
[quote:2470291dcb="tcochran"]
The 2009 playoffs are in progress this week.
And here's the schedule:
Monday, March 19: Playoffs begin.
Sunday, March 25 - Wednesday, March 28: Finals end.
Wednesday, March 28: Deadline to make drops; all owners must drop enough players to bring their rosters to a maximum of 30 players, allowing for 10 draft picks. Owners can drop below 30 players, but must not have fewer than 25 prior to the draft.
[b:2470291dcb]Friday, March 30: Draft begins for 2010 season, to be done in this chat thread.
As in recent years, there will be a 2-hour clock for every pick (10AM - 10PM Eastern) -- INCLUDING THE FIRST ROUND -- as long as all drops are posted prior to the start of the draft.[/b:2470291dcb]
There is no requirement for a team to drop a player who is not issued a card in the new year's set; e.g., if a star player from 2009 is injured in 2010 but will be able to play again in 2011, then that player can remain on a team's roster (as one of their 40 players) while using the 2010 card set.
As before, managers who release their current stadium prior to the beginning of the draft will be allowed to draft a new one, in the final round.
As far as I know, there are no significant game engine changes from 2009 to 2010. As in the current year, we must carry a minimum of 24 active players and the initial team load must have 11 pitchers and 14 hitters. [/quote:2470291dcb]
