I'm not going to lie, I love this bit. It's like distilled essence of drafting. 6 picks left, and I have 6 dudes. Due to all sorts of things, it's probably possible to get them all. But how best to? Also it's nice to be in a position to believe in a guy more than anyone other than his mother. I'll probably as disappointed, but still...

I don't see a specific explanation for this, how does free agency work during the summer? Is it a single waiver period then FCFS after the divisions are re-merged together until week 1? Or does it just do the normal waiver cycle through August?

Why not just do drafts in divisions of 10 instead of 12? More players means you can still give a poo poo about players in the later rounds and that's two less teams to burn through their entire 8 hour timer. The problem is no one gives a poo poo once all the players are gone in round 9. 11 reserve spots is insane for a 12 team league. I get that the point is to draft these no-name schlubs but at some point you should seriously consider compromising for the sake of quality-of-life.

For the record, I absolutely don't care about how long a draft that started in the middle of loving July takes, but I do care about the incessant bitching from people who apparently have nothing to do in their lives but the Goon Fish Bowl draft. I feel very bad for those people.

I enjoy hunting for value in all the late rounds way more than the generic this is who you are supposed to pick in the early rounds.

Me too. That's why I joined. Based on all the :qq: between this thread and the draft room, it seems like a lot of people didn't really know what they were signing up for. If someone isn't cool with an 8 hour draft timer knowing that things would slow down especially in the later rounds, they should stick to your typical Yahoo or ESPN league snake drafts with 120 second timers IMHO.

Next year I'll explain clearly that the 8 hour timer is for people who can't get on the internet at work, and that if you are available you should set it to email reminders and not sit on the clock

That should fix it. 10 team divisions is a good idea that would fix it, but I can't do a ten team draft, I kind of think twelve gets kind of boring

To be fair, a lot of the bitching is more a reflection of our enthusiasm and excitement to be drafting. Outside of the first dude in Frankenstein, I never felt like any of us were actually annoyed with each other.

Also, gently caress making the leagues smaller. This is all about the deep cuts.

Like I don't often get a chance to draft a dude with an ADP of 250+, but I get to in GFB!
