FAAB Auction Suggestion

Could we look into having the 7 reserve rounds done immediately following the auction instead of a 2 hour slow draft? You have all 15 owners present and it could be knocked out in 20-30 minutes. That was the format when we used RT Sports and Andy did the reserves in the chat room right after. It was great to be done with it the same day.

I think we can request that for the FAAB leagues. Maybe won't be updated for this baseball season, but we'll ask for football and beyond.

Good idea for Friday / Saturday drafts. I wouldn't like it for weekday drafts though. Just something to keep in mind.

Hi Greg, I am one that strongly prefers the status quo. Evening auctions already are often past midnight here on the east cost and I'm already spent at that point. Pushing the end to possibly past 1am, not appealing for multiple reasons. 20-30 minutes seems optimistic for 7 rounds, 30-45 minutes seems more realistic. If it were an afternoon auction...1pm, sure, I'd be ok with that, but the 8pm start time already gives me pause, and is why I haven't done more online auctions.
