Two timeouts

Post by mdecav » Wed Dec 06, 2017 9:38 am

I read this on the DC chat but I don’t recall this being discussed but I might’ve missed it...

If an owner times out twice, is the owner automatically put on auto and needs to reach out to Greg/Tom to get himself off auto? If so, I think that’s a great idea if it’s been implemented.

Also, similar to having “(A)” shown for autopick it would be great to add (T) for a timed-out autopick.

Great idea. However instead of a "T" for timed out, I would tecommend an ("AH") for asshole to properly designate those who have timed-out more than once.

Two consecutive timeouts and they go on auto-pick. They can take themselves off it but if they fail to make a pick again it goes back on.

I’d be in favor of it not having to be consecutive.

I'd be in favor of whatever it takes to motivate drafters to communicate and/ or draft promptly.

These DCs should not take more than 15 days.

How about going from 4 hours to two hours for the last 15 picks. This would encourage people to utilize auto, if for no other reason as a backup in case they can’t get on in time. In some drafts the last picks take a disproportionately long time.
