***2018 Players Championship Draft***

No problem Jeep

I think we need a pick clock...

Average pick times so far from longest to shortest (with apologies to wjb in relation to the Jeep stadium picking debacle earlier today):


teamnasty 4hrs, 4mins
brothersatm, 3hrs, 58mins
komodos, 3hrs, 4mins
klx, 3hrs, 0mins,
cristano, 2hrs, 35mins
milleram, 2hrs, 31mins
wjb, 1hr, 57mins (would be shorter without ballpark mix-up)
mbertoli, 1hr, 44mins
rickburr, 1hr, 12mins (not including current pick, obviously)
stevep 0hrs, 40mins
chris_s 0hrs, 16mins
jeep, 0hrs, 13mins

Calm down with worrying about the length and time the draft is taking, enjoy it. It been a long tournament, we are all deserving of being here. So get a life with calculating time between draft picks

Sure, take as much time as you like brotherstam.

We are happy to wait for you.

In fact, go on a holiday, we'll still be here in a week when you get back.

And the problem is what, do u not have a life that this the only thing you got going. See this is enjoyment not life or death but I guess u have been picked last for every team u played for. So thank you for letting me take my time

Brothersatm - play the ball, not the man.

Have some consideration for others here. We all have other commitments in our lives. Sometimes we are not in a position to make a pick right away. That is understood.

My message posting the amount of time spent by each person was a response to the message above mine which suggested that we should consider a 'pick clock'. Maybe not a bad idea.

If everyone took 4hrs to make their pick, the initial part of this draft would last about 16 days. No one wants that.

Actually, I have a life, believe it or not. But I am passionate about strat-o-matic and I am keen to get this draft done as quickly as possible. It is my expectation that everyone else in the finals feels the same way - otherwise, you would not be here.

I wish you and everyone else in the finals all the best. And let's hope that this draft concludes as quickly as possible.

Regards,
Steve

I actually pick quite fast but on at least 3 occasions I went to bed here on the West Coast and woke up on the clock.
