Major League Keeper League (MLKL)

Guys,

We probably need to (at some point) place a time limit on how long you can take to make missed picks after the last pick in a draft is made.

Here are my thoughts:

Free Agent Draft - must pick within 48 hours of the final pick. To have much more time can allow an unfair advantage in the sense that you may have more information than those who picked within the time frame of the official draft (e.g. A player is injured after the draft but before you pick).

Prospect Drafts - 48 hours ok? Same applies really. In the spring it could be that you wait and learn of an injury, a demotion, a promotion, etc... In the summer you add to that being able to see a few more games of stats. Unfair advantage to me (albeit a small one usually).

SUPP Draft - 48 hours again? Again, delaying picking affords an owner time to gather more information than those who pick in a timely fashion. Injuries, trades, stats, etc...

Is this something guys could be ok with? Have any good arguments against?

Let's discuss a bit:)

From Edub: (I hope he doesn't mind me sharing)



In all 5 leagues I run Peter the rules are the same...I'll give those until noon eastern the day after the draft (regardless of which type) to make their selections or they are forfeited.

48 hours from the last pick seems fair to me as well as long as there is some type of deadline for the exact reasons you mentioned

48 hrs seems more than fair. I of all people understand that sometimes life comes into play and it can become impossible at times to get a chance to check in or give anybody a heads up as to what is going on,but we all understand that unfortunately these drafts shouldnt be held up by the misfortunes( and sometimes the inconsiderations ) of one or 2 people.After all we all know when the drasfts are starting so I vote yes on the 48 hr rules.

48 hrs seems very reasonable to me as well.

I've always thought a time limit on picks is a good idea. I mean otherwise I guy could hold onto a pick forever technically. 48 hours seems good to me. I vote yes.

Fine with me.

OK by me

Ok by me

Looks like it makes sense to most owners. Let's put it to a vote.

Proposed Ammendment to take effect in 2015:

"All draft picks must be made within 48 hours of the final scheduled pick in the draft. That is, anyone who has been skipped or must repick for any reason will have 48 hours to do so after the final pick of the final round has been made. After 48 hours, any unmade or invalid picks will be forfeited."

If anyone sees a problem with this language let me know! Otherwise...
