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.
Thanks.

Tried the live draft in the LOD league and it didn't work Doug!!! What a cluster mess we have now roflmao...
2. Somebody entered the room immediately, triggering the live draft. There's no way to reverse this. Once the live draft starts, it has to finish.
3. You then edited the rosters to undo the live draft results
4. You then tried to do a slow draft. This is what triggered the bug, and I'll have that fixed soon.
I've already fixed it for you league--you should be able to start a slow draft now. (I haven't yet fixed the cause; if you go through the same sequence of events as above, it will trigger the same issue.)
I think the key step is #2. I will add a restriction that no live drafts can be scheduled less than 30 minutes in the future.
This way, nobody accidentally sets the draft too soon and launches the live draft.
As for the roster editing/slow draft bug, that was an important find and pretty rare. It required the exact sequence of events above.

Please help us test the new slow draft feature.

I'm not sure what happened. It looks like your league has complex keeper/trade settings which may have triggered it. I'll investigate.
Were you able to restore everything?

Here's what I think happened:
1. At 7:15 you scheduled a live draft at 7:30.
2. Somebody entered the room immediately, triggering the live draft. There's no way to reverse this. Once the live draft starts, it has to finish.
3. You then edited the rosters to undo the live draft results
4. You then tried to do a slow draft. This is what triggered the bug, and I'll have that fixed soon.

So thanks for reporting it.
