I know they are slow drafts, and not sure how the other slow drafts are progressing, and of course there were some tech difficulties on monday, into tuesday.



But we are not even half way through the 1st round, and its been 2 days. At this rate, it will take us over 100 days to finish a 50 round draft... is there anyway to speed this up....



can you create a non-flash draft room or a way for people to email in their picks if they can;t make it to a computer?



Thanks,

The problem is the software. We have been doing a 50 round email draft and will likely wrap it up in approximately 30 days with no problems.



Maybe we can pursue the email only option instead of teh draft room for those that want to partake? The rosters can be loaded into fanball after the drafts. This works very well for those who have smartphones and can't use fanball's draft room.

I have an iphone and know that flash will not work on it.

Well I found out that Geoff said you could email him your picks or text him your picks and he puts them through...



we have been doing that for guys who can't get to the draft software, and its been moving much quicker... We've had like 10 picks since yesterday around 11pm.

You can follow every pick on your phone and when it's your time to pick just jump on a computer and make the pick. If you can't get to one right away and you know who you want to pick, email Geoff at [email protected] and he will get to it ASAP. I think we've added the text message this year and will be here to make your picks if you need help. Hopefully this will speed up the Slow Drafts, but inevitably it's up to each owner to keep these moving and to make their picks as quickly as they can. Enjoy them and use the smartphone to see every single pick as they happen.
