yeah maybe 2-3 was a bit optimistic...I know here in Canada there is a holiday on Monday, so you might be able to get it done then

Well people won't take 3m inutes every time lol. I think it would take about 2-3 hours. Even at 60 seconds a pick, the draft would take nearly 7 hours...and I'm not sure I can even type some NHL players names in 60 seconds (let alone decide who to take). Fleischmann? Is that two 'M's at the end? Is the 'E' before the 'I'.

It took awhile but I kinda liked how we did it in KL10 league, Playmaker. Gave GMs time to think about their decisions and a time limit was observed.
That's just me. but I'll do whatever.

I liked it too since everyone was doing a good job at checking in very frequently. I think that will be the case here but a live draft is always a lot of fun.

The chat doesn't seem to keep a history. I typed something then came back and it was gone. Wouldn't that be an issue?

With work and three young children, my vote is for a forum draft with a 12-hour window between picks.
We have lots of time before the season starts and I'm sure the first few rounds will go quickly but I, for one, can not be checking in every 15-30 minutes to make a pick for two straight days.

I tend to agree with this. A forum draft works best for me personally. However, if everyone else insists on doing a portion of the draft live (via the chat or some other method), I could maybe dedicate some evening to it, but no more than a 3 or 4 hour window on say a Friday or Saturday night (or some other night). Still, I foresee problems with it. I can't imagine having 10-12 guys in different time-zones all sitting around their computers for many hours. If even one person signs off, the entire process gets delayed.

Yeah my 12 team/24 player roster (no farm) inaugural dynasty draft took 5 1/2 hours. It's not that bad w/beer. Hey I might be onto a new ad campaign!! With Beer, It's not that bad!

Honestly... forum or live is fine w/ me. i just think a 12hr window is far too long.
As soon as one player picks, that GM notifies the next via email, and the five hour begins tolling with draft period from 9am - 10pm.
But I'm easy (figuratively speaking).
