This limit messed us up big time!!!! We had one computer hooked up to a projector and I was commish drafting every player, so the pause was needed becuase it would auto-draft the players not logged in (even though they were in the same room as me). So I would pause, commish draft, pause, commish draft, pause, commish draft and so on..until the limit was reached. Then it just autodrafted everyones team from round 10 onward, leaving me unable to stop it!! I had to the manually make everyone's pick from round 10 and prior keepers and will re-draft tonight for the rest of the rounds, what a PITA! This will be my league's first and last season on fleaflicker, the owners are pissed!!
I have to agree... this was a huge issue for my league last year, we're trying to have some drinks and enjoy a lengthy draft (we draft 24 rounds and do IDPs)... we like to make a day of it and BBQ after some of the rounds... the ability to have an un-limited pause would go a long ways towards making me NOT look elsewhere. I would just do the draft old fashion board style but there is almost always at least one or two people who can't make the draft and want to take part in it online. Ultimately I'm happy, mostly just because this is free, but this year I will using a different draft system to remedy the issue and I'll have to import the draft results manually.
