Strat-O-Matic Baseball 365

Since I'm pretty much staying inside because of the cold weather today, how about a live draft? Unlimited cap with the draft starting at 9:00 ET. The Big Freeze is the name of the league and all are welcome! I've altered the time limit to 60 seconds per suggestions.

what's the time limit on picks? Hopefully not more than a minute!

Yeah, what is the time limit?? Might have been more helpful to put that in the description box than the stuff about tomorrow being a cold day.

Oh Lordy - I just saw in the inner workings that it's 150 seconds. Let's see..........that's.............OMG - 2 AND 1/2 MINUTES!!!!! That's an eternity!!!!

I can make it shorter if you want, no big deal. I'm a relative newbie to the live drafts so that's why I made the time limit longer, figuring if you can draft fast, go for it. And if you need more time, you got it.

I made it shorter as SOM added a .45 second option. Come on in. It's named the one minute league, as I named it before I knew about the .45 sec option that SOM added today but didn't tell anyone about

It should be a maximum of 90 seconds. 60 is better.

If you can't come to a decision in 30 seconds, you are caught wasting your time doing things you shouldn't need to be doing. 60 seconds is an eternity if you focus on using it for decision making. If you trying to research players,... well no time is enough.

Some tips:
(1) Don't do player research during the draft. Focus on decisions.
(2) Don't dwell on the mistakes. If they happen, they happen. Forget your last pick and work on your next pick.
(3) If you get weaseled out of a player you were really hoping for, and its round 6+, consider the best reliever available.
Its better to have a list of players with a fallback plan if your top choice goes. But absent that, there are relievers that are high value picks in any round after the 5th or so.

I just did a draft Saturday where 75% of the picks were made in 10 seconds. It finished in an hour and 5 minutes.
IMHO, if after 45 seconds time to decide you don't know who to take, you might just consider a coin flip. Your choices aren't gong to get any better.

He changed the time to 60 sec so I joined.
