When it is your time to pick, post your selection in the spreadsheet 2. 5 minute pick limit, which starts when I say something along the lines of "X team is on the clock" 3. If no pick has been made after 5 minutes, I will select the player for you 4. If a user is not present at the time they are on the clock, they will be auto-drafted via rule #3 until they notify me 5. I have full veto/approval authority over trades involving draft picks during the draft and unless you attend the live draft at any point, all trades involving draft picks must be submitted at least 72 hours prior to the start of the draft. It came to my attention during that a recent conversation that people might have glossed over the NFL Draft rules. As people have become increasingly aware of over the seasons, running this league and the way that I do it takes a lot of time and energy. While plenty of it comes down to mind-numbingly tedious tasks (ugh stat PMs and anything contract related), some of it is quite vigorous. There might not be a more strenuous task than running the NFL Draft for me given all the teams I draft for myself, instructions given to me, having to keep up with AI selections that I sometimes have to manually find out, constantly updating the draft board, and checking the 100-150 renamed players that I have to make sure things go smoothly due to not being able to officially rename until they are under contract or enter the free agent pool. Last season had an absurd amount of trades occur within 72 hours of the first round kicking off, and by the time I got everything situated, I had no desire to run the draft. I was so emotionally drained. I felt I had to do a little something to prevent burnout, and I thought the time limit for draft pick trades was fair as draft pick trades during the live draft are still allowed. I have a different ideology and approach when it comes to the draft (and really everything B8NFLL in general) than everyone else, so while I understand that me being late to adding in the LB and DB prospects could have had an affect on some people, I don't think that the draft board should be the primary reason for trades at this point . But as I said, I'm aware of my different thought processes, so I'm willing to compromise and make it a 48 hour deadline for this season, which gives everyone until 9 PM ET on Wednesday to propose trades using draft picks for this season if one, multiple, or all parties involved do not intend on attending the live draft on the day or days of the involved picks. --- KCF can't actually be a real person but he is - greengravy https://imgur.com/VfpY7tg <cite>KCF0107 posted [p:913977711] in Board 8 Na...
