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.
Great feature. By chance is there a way to make a slow timer like say 12 hours? If the time runs out it will then pick from BPA? Would also be nice if you have predraft rankings or predraft selections that the computer would select based on that to speed up slow drafts. Just some thoughts. Thats how it works on myfantasyleague.

Please help us test the new slow draft feature.

One more new feature for slow drafts (but also useful for all leagues):
There's now a "my" column on all player tables that lists your pre-draft ranking for a player.
You can also sort by your custom player rankings on the "players" tab now.

Would like to see all of these, and the draft clock especially is absolutely necessary. Remember, it's a slow draft, not a forever draft.
