Some previously unmentioned (as far as I see) features I'd like to see in slow drafts:
- Editing of previous pick. In a case where a mistake is made (in relation to league rules)
- Specified player pools. Useful for rookie-only dynasty drafts. Some dynasty leagues also like to hold two seperate inaugral drafts - veteran and rookie.
- Multiple drafts. I'm not sure if it's possible so I'll mention it here. For example, one of my dynasty leagues holds an annual rookie only draft, followed by a Free Agent draft where any remaining player can be drafted.
- Ability to set a number of rounds. Either with a set amount, unlimited or simply set it to fill roster (the current default).
- Draft and drop. Ties in with the previous items. Drafts with a set number of rounds can go on after a team fills it's roster by allowing them to drop a player.
- Ability to pass on a pick. Also give the option to pass on current pick and all future picks.
These are all relatively minor, but if they apply to my leagues, they'd probably be useful to others too.
Yes, the slow draft is perfect for what you are looking to do. You can do as many picks as you want and then wait as long as you want to make more picks. Since there is no draft room it is very flexible. The commish can make picks if necessary, but since there is no time limit, there generally isn't a reason to do so, unless someone doesn't have computer access.
So, essentially, people just need to wait for their email to come in and click the link and go right? I guess I was hoping there would still be a draft room involved for the trash talk etc....but it sounds like this will work either way maybe not with the bells and whistles....Thanks for the reply.
