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.

I do like this feature, matter of fact I love it. I would like to see it tweaked in the future to include the option of setting a time limit, say in hour increments up to 24 hours or no time limit and if someone doesn't pick in their allotted time, the system would draft the next available player off a draft card they could set up with like 10 or 20 players or the next available off their player rankings... But this is a good start and I'm looking forward to testing it out... :)
Yes, two features are missing that will make this work really well: the ability to pre-draft and the ability to set the clock to something besides unlimited, like 12 hours (which works well for people's schedules). Also, if the clock is set, it would be nice to have a feature for the commish to mark certain players as "not available" so that they are auto-picked and no clock runs for them.

Please help us test the new slow draft feature.

I would say at less 48hrs due to the fact of the different time zones people live in. And the draft card is just like the Rank your players.

Yeah, they will just have to stay on top of their player rankings and adjust them after each pick...
