How many DCs are still not finished?

Deadheadz · Post by **Deadheadz** » Fri Mar 21, 2014 10:34 am

Our DC started Mar 14 and we're late in round 48 so we hope to be done before Game #1 @ 4AM ET.

With all the slow draft horror stories, I was curious who else is still slow drafting and whether your pace will get you done in time. Someone posted earlier they didn't think it was fair to allow any picks in a DC after the real game results are known.

If Paco Rodriguez gets the win in extra innings and then gets drafted after the fact we won't hear the end of it and rightly so.

Greg said he's on top of it so I'm not worried. Just curious about the progress.

WTF?
(what the foulball)

STATS may soon have to follow through with reducing the clock in those leagues which are not finished.

As busy as they are with all the live events, something could fall through the cracks and people will raise he'll if the overall goes to a drafter from one of the "tardy slow drafts".

I believe it was the plan all along to have these finished by March 30th.

If that's the case, it's to our advantage to run the clock down til Sunday then.

Not the best copy and paste job, but you should be able to get from this what you need.

Can someone remind me again the projected start date for the last slow draft of the season? I seem to recall March 10th, but I'm not sure.

Thanks!

Last signups for the 8-Hour NFBC Draft Champions League will be Saturday, March 8th and we'll start the last ones on Sunday, March 9th. That will give us 21 days to finish these last ones. I hope this helps.

Chris, each league has been looked at and dealt with as needed. The 8 hour clock has been reduced in several DC leagues that started after March 1st. The last $400 league is the most troublesome and that one has had its clock reduced to 4 hours per pick. We will continue to monitor and adjust each of these so that they all finish by March 30th.

This isn't our first rodeo running these, but some folks seem to think it is. We'll make sure every DC is done by March 30th as has been the case in all previous years.

Our March 6 DC is about to roll over to rd 33 and moving rather slowly over all

Wow, that's crawling

Funny thing...I'm in a draft where our time was just reduced to 6 hours per pick. One of our slower drafters was on the clock, and had the time down to under 2 hours. When they reset the clock his time went back up to 6 hours. So he has now been on the clock for over 9 1/2 hours. Brutal.

Crawling is being in my March 6th DC and being in round 28.....I have the 1 slot and make my only 2 picks for the day around 8pm EST.
