The problem with the 3 person draft this year was there was no time limit to picks and some managers took advantage of that, sometimes taking days to make their pick.

Exactly! Good thoughts here. I don't think there needs to be any byes - what fun is that anyway to sit out an entire season.
We simply need to seed Teams as they finished the
Regular Season. Then again when they finish the
Semi-finals to prepare for the Finals.
Any advantage should be small and based on the performance from that year's Tournament only. I like the format this year: We simply need to clarify a few of the rules in question - As Mr. Baseball World suggested. And have some kind of time limits on Picks so everyone doesn't have to wait so long (As Axlerod stated above). This has always been a good Tournament. We just needed to reward those slightly who finished with the Best records in the Regular Season.
All major Sports Teams reward those who had the best Record during the
Regular Season with small advantages during the Playoffs by Seeding and Home Field Advantage when the later comes into play.
The Finals / Championship is always the the least Advantage possible - such as little to no seeding and no Home Field Advantage if possible.
