The "Original" 24 TKL

Monday times have been posted. Please note: we will switch to 30 minute time slots beginning on Tuesday.

May I send you proxies for my Round 4 noon pick as I will be in class from at east 10:30 to 2:30?

Got it, thanks!

Cal - I sent proxies to you for my pick. I am leaving for ST in Arizona with my HS baseball team in about 30 minutes, so I won't be available for my 1 PM time slot.

Thanks - Brian

Got it, Thanks!

I don't understand why people after Turtle (and after me of course) can't start picking now. Every league draft I've ever been in has allowed it. I thought that was the purpose of instituting time windows in the first place....so one person can't create a logjam.

In my experience, most leagues I have been have not allowed it, but that's neither here nor there. I was clear about not skipping ahead until everyone behind you has picked earlier in this thread.

If everyone behind you has picked, you may pick immediately; you would not need to wait for your time slot to make your selection.

I know some of us (myself included) would prefer this draft move at a faster pace. And for some of us, life gets in the way of hobbies and we can't always draft promptly when we are up. The time slots running this way is a fair compromise to keep the draft going at a moderate pace while not over-penalizing someone who can't make their pick by their allotted time.

If for some reason you are not able to get to a device to make your pick during your allotted window, please PM or text me your proxy or pick and I will be happy to post it for you. If for some reason I will be unavailable for proxy duty, I will let you know on this forum.

Currently the rule regarding time slots leaves room for interpretation or commissioner discretion. If there is support from several people on formalizing rules regarding time slots (i.e., if 6 or more people PM me in support of it), I can try and write something up and the league can vote. However any rule changes should not be effective until the next draft, at soonest.

Beginning at or around Round 4, we will move to 1/2 hour windows. That will further accelerate the draft. We should be able to wrap this thing up within a little over a week. We are already way ahead of any of the other 5 keeper leagues I am in

Just getting around to reading the Forum. I would be in support of formalizing the rules either to adopt how you'd like to run the timed draft (which I'm fine with) or the way we've done it in past years (which I'm also fine with). Better to have uncertainty eliminated, in my mind. Thanks for all the work you're doing Cal.

Just a quick post to mention that time slots will be posted a little late tonight, probably between 11 and midnight Eastern, but they have been updated on the Googledoc, so check it out there if you want to know your time slot(s) for tomorrow:

Hi Cal,

You forgot to add Alex Dickerson to my team. I saw you erase his name from the available's list though.

Thank you!

Fixed, thanks!

Is it me or does this years draft seem particularly thin to everyone?
