The draft takes way too much time because they aren't any deadlines and people pick at their convenience. I also prefer randomize league assignments because the whole tournament is delayed because of people waiting for the first leagues to fill to get into the last 2 or 3 leagues. The tournament would have stayed on schedule if this delayed hadn't occurred in every event.
I don't disagree with you Waynick. We do need some sort of hard deadlines. However, what everyone seems to be missing is the autodraft wouldn't necessarily solve the problems we had this year with the 3-round drafts. That was namely, a week+ delay to even start them, due to people not being around. I think once the drafts actually started, they were completed in a relatively reasonable amount of time.
But, having an autodraft doesn't solve this issue because those who we away for a week or more at the beginning wouldn't have had their team ready for an autodraft either, right?
I think we should just leave it the way we had it this year, but impose some time limits as others have suggested.
