Originally, I set the draft date at Sunday evening March 27th. However, I have heard from a couple of people that they'd prefer to not hold a draft on Easter Sunday. That's fine with me. It's been suggested to move the draft to the following night, Monday March 28th. This date would work just fine for me.
This is your chance to speak up about the draft time. Can you do a draft on Monday March 28th? If so, what times are you available, and what is your preference?
With a live draft, it shouldn't take more than 60-90 minutes, and I was originally thinking 8 PM CT (9 PM ET - 6 PM PT). This hopefully isn't too late for the right-coasters or too early for the left coasters.
What are peoples thoughts? I know it'll be difficult to find a time where all 10 of us can get together at the same time, but let's start listing some options.
CURRENT SUGGESTED DRAFT DATE/TIME: Monday March 28th at 8 PM CT

How long is the draft clock? That's a great question. I'm thinking Spin is going to say that the "unofficial" draft that we'd be doing here on the board will have no time limit since we'll be having a live draft.

I'm fine with that draft date but the keeper deadline should be a lot sooner than 4 days before the draft. Let's get a chance to make a dent the old fashioned way so we're not there live all night.

How long is the draft clock? I think the default Yahoo live draft clock is 90 seconds.

Just because the deadline is 4 days before the draft, doesn't mean people have to wait until the last minute to put their picks in. We can start the draft as soon as everybody submits their keepers.

Can that be modified? 90 seconds is way too short. Should really be like 5 minutes just to make sure of your pick.

If 90 seconds isn't long enough for you, just do what Brad does: Step 1: Pick any available Rockies Step 2: If all Rockies are picked, take highest ranked player left It hasn't failed***** him yet. *****Failure is defined as finishing in last place.

Except that we know there will be at least one team that waits until the last minute to set their keepers.

Zook and I can be very persuasive (i.e. annoying) with text messages and facebook messages if we need be.

I just found out I won't be able to make that time. M/W nights are bad for me.

Anyone have objections to moving the draft back 1hr to 9PM CT/10PM EST?

That would be OK with me. It would be nice if we can another 1-3 rounds done before then though
