is it possible to have a Slow Draft for Cutline Championship? my work schedule is crazy right now and i really want to join the Cutline but a slow draft works much better for me. it would not take near as long as the normal slow draft for draft champions since there are only 10 teams instead of 15 and a much smaller roster.
i bet there would be many people who like the slow draft format but want to try it out on the new Cutline Championship.
any thoughts?

Sorry but no. This is a national contest, so you can't have different sets of rules. There's a bit of skill in picking 36 players at 55 seconds per pick and doing all of this in 2 hours. We just can't have some owners do this in 8 hours per pick and everyone else at 55 seconds per pick. Sorry.

There are lots of different times for these Cutlines. Hopefully there's one that works for you. The format is pretty cool and the online drafts are swift and enjoyable. Good luck all.

Isn't the D.C a national contest? The D.C Express is different than the regular D.C's. Just sayin

yes that was my thought also that with the Draft Champions there are express and slow draft so i thought the Cutline could do the same thing.
at any rate Greg please consider this for the next season.

Think of the 4 hr and DC Express as the same rules as 8 hr but those entering all mutually agreed to pick faster so there is still one set of rules.
