The draft now moves to a 2 hour clock. As you did last year, the next player after is allowed to pick and then the skipped player can make his pick when he returns.
An email will be sent to all players in each league to let them know.
I dunno, what did you do last year ? We are all in different time zones, I would say starts at 9 am EST 6am PST and ends at Mid EST 9PM PST. Basically off during sleeping hours.
NO ONE can be skipped during sleeping hours. If a pick is made 5 minutes before the end of the day, the clock resumes and 2 hours starts counting once the daytime window opens the next morning.
