Can I "force open" a live draft room?

Having some bad luck with the SOM offices this week and would really like to get our live draft room opened a day ahead of time. Previously they flipped that switch for me but having trouble this time for whatever reason.

Question is, can I change the draft start time to "20 minutes from now" which ought to open the room, then just go back in and switch the time back to tomorrow morning? Would that keep the room open without troubling the folks at SOM?

Thanks.

I seriously doubt it, but I have no idea.... It would be great if they would let you go in early with all live drafts so you could set up your queues.

For anybody wondering:

"Yes"

However it stays open and you cannot revise the pick interval

So you have to use "no clock" so the computer picks don't start up

Then you have to discipline yourselves to 90-120 sec during the draft

And absolutely, positively click the "away" button

There was a way to get back in to the draft setting calendar page usung the browser history but nobody wanted to know if that would erase their queues or not
