Our draft has half of the guys with laptops logged in to the live draft room and the other half that like to use just a magazine and draft from that. I still need to enter their draft picks into the draft room for them, but if they aren't logged in, the computer tries to autopick for them. I can pause while they make their pick, but I've only got 60 minutes of cumulative pause.
Is there any way I can let the logged in owners make their pick and do a manual draft pick as commissioner for those not logged in without having to pause or worry about autopick?
Instead of opting for a "live" draft, go for the "slow" e-mail draft option. [I assume you all are in the same spot holding a draft party. If this is the case, this "slow" method would be the best option (don't focus on the word slow...it's only as slow as your slowest owner).] Owners that have their laptops can make their picks and you, as commish, can make the selections for the "magazine" owners all the while keeping everyone happy. It also prevents you from having to manually input EVERYONE'S pick...just the magazine guys.

But it's only a workaround. Eg it's not possible to limit the picktime to lets say 5min.
