That's different, people who were on the clock for the 2nd round were in the chat and were ready to pick so they did. The 2nd round was still a board only thing. Edited by jetsniper, Aug 29 2011, 10:15 AM.

he means solely on the board. actually : here is how it works : everyone gets emailed once per day about an update of where it is at. round 1 : 12 (or24?) hours clock round 2 : 12 hours clock round 3, pickpicklists 3 sets 3 days round 4, picklists 2 sets, 2 days round 5, picklists 2 sets, 2 days Edited by alexstream, Aug 29 2011, 10:55 AM.

yes LMAO there was DRAMAMAMAAAAAAA our friend who shall remain unnamed *cough* EHIW *cough* got his ass spanked by the TC there for being too adventurous for a newb. not sure he was doing bad, but he might not have been doing as good as they would have wanted and might have been doing too much too fast for their liking... so they blocked until the commishes would come back from vacations. which took like 2-3-4-5 days of the 11 i guess? |

So 6 days then. I still prefer 2.5 hours. (roughly) Like a week for one round is friggin brutal. That's a quarter of our whole off-season. |

im not arguing... and dont want to say grass is greener and stuff... but where is the rush to get the draft done so fast? it's one of the most exciting moment of the season. so what if it drags. there are 30 times more trades at "draft day" (aka draft month) in HFCH than during one whole HWL season. |

The activity the draft brings and the actual time to trade you first or scout is invaluable than like having 10 mins to do it if the guys you want are gone |

you two guys, I'm starting to love you. in the past, I've layed that idea on the table and was immediately loved. Toronto is actually bang on about how it differs and what more it can bring. and imo, so fucking what if the 1st round lasts 10 days. if you dont have a pick, the worst thing that can happen is that you have a 10 days break or that you are totally dying to trade for a pick. |

Hence why you should scout BEFORE the draft. Seriously. |

Bingo. I go into every draft with the idea of who I want to pick, plus a Plan B, C, and sometimes D. I also have made sure to investigate how much it costs to move up or down so if my guys are being taken fast, I can react. The offseason can drag on as it is, extending the draft is far from appealing. Just put in the time beforehand to make sure you're ready. |

Yep, me too. If I'm not sure the guys I want will be where I'm picking, I get deals in place beforehand. And I've always had super detailed picklists even though I intend on being there since you never know how things will shake down. Theres nothing wrong with the current system, you just need to be prepared. |
