Can we have some kind of time limit on this?

For the people that can't make the Tuesday AIM session this one pick a day rate is really not fair.

Or lets do this stuff on the board for 2 weeks instead of one.

[NBL President]

Well, if we consider the owner active (which Memphis has for a long while) we don't make the pick for them. The idea of this was for everyone to pick in a timely manner just to see what we could get done prior to the live draft, but technically, the live draft is where the draft begins. I have PM'ed the Grizz and will make the pick within 24 hours if he doesn't.

As for doing it for 2 weeks, we can't do free agency until the draft is completely finished, so that is why we can't have it go on for 2 weeks on the boards. People will just have to send a list if they can't make it Tuesday night.

[nets]

I think a time limit of 12 hours is more then adequate. Otherwise this system just provides an advantage with teams who have early picks as they think about picks for a day or two while teams picking on Tuesday will get a minute or two.

I like this system a lot more then the AIM drafts but we need a way to speed them up so maybe AIM is just for round 2. I am in other leagues where boards or email are used extensively for the draft but with time limits which makes them very effective.

Screwing teams that can't be on AIM at a specific time is probably not a great practice. For picks in the 30-60 range this is probably not a big deal but if I was making pick 12 for example then having this time to think and picking on the boards would be a lot more preferred then the speed picking on AIM.

[Thaaa BUCKS!]

I coulda sworn we went through this same stuff last season.
I think that last season we made the "DRAFT TALK" thread for a reason too.

And Nets, he kinda just told us what is going to happen..

[NBL President]

That works for me if Jeff says it's alright. We can put in a 12-hour time limit.
