In the past we have held a draft on a forum where we have given everyone a maximum of 12 or 24 hours to make a pick. Looking at the live draft options on this site, it seems the longest time period you can give per pick is 4mins, is that correct? Is there any way of adding a longer time period per pick?
By default, that is the longest -- but you have unlimited pause time and can stop the draft and resume on that pick whenever you'd like. In terms of "on the clock" max time, it is 4 minutes.
How does the slow draft works, does each person get sent an email when it is their pick? Could we implement a 24 hour clock and I as the Commish can just go in after 24 hours and make the pick for someone and we move on?
Yes, each owner will be sent an e-mail when a pick is made. Ensure their e-mail notifications are set to accept them under E-Mail Notifications. We don't have a clock right now, but you can pick for a team at any time under the Players tab using Commish Draft.
so am I hearing this right, the pause will stay paused? Last year, when the commish paused it, all of a sudden, after a few minutes, a bunch of autopicks happened and we had to keep going back and erasing picks.
also, can the commish manually pick during a live draft. So essentially, pausing to wait for pick and pausing to pick for someone who's on the phone, then pausing again, etc.
There is no time limit like in the past. A commish can pause the live draft and it will remain paused. The commish can manually draft for other players there too and pause and then restart, etc (you can always undo a pick of needed). You can check out your league-specific mock draft once there is a date to test this.
