We now support "slow" or E-mail drafts where draft selections are made on the site with unlimited selection time. Owners are notified of selections via E-mail (make sure you have your preferences set to receive E-mails).
The commish can make selections for any team.
This can serve as an alternative of a few requested features for the live draft like pausing the draft.
There's also a feature to finish a slow draft in the live draft room. This is useful because you can take your time with the important early picks and still finish the draft quickly for the less important late-round picks.
There are likely some bugs so let us know if something isn't working properly.
The description when you try to select slow draft says "starting now", which is confusing when you haven't even yet recruited all the players to fill a league. You should still be able to choose a start date & time.
Also, it looks like there is unlimited time between picks; is this correct? There should still be an option for a maximum amount of time between picks (measured in hours) after which auto-pick selects from the owner's list.
Is there a way the commish can force/accelerate a pick from the owner's list?
The ability to set the length of time between picks and schedule a slow draft for a selected date and time are definitely two things we need to add for the future.
Again the commish can force or accelerate picks only by selecting on the behalf of other owners.

Is there a way the commish can see the other owner's player ranking so the commish knows which player to select for the owner?
