I might be committed on the 14th, but checking.

Question: How long does a live draft take and how strong of a connection does one need to maintain?

Thanks.

"How long does a live draft take" My recollection from last year was that the full 26 round draft took about 3 hours. Some owners checked out after 90 minutes or so.

"how strong of a connection does one need to maintain?" If you mean internet strength - I'm not sure, there aren't significant graphics. I think I've done one at least partly on the phone and I don't remember having a problem. I'm in a 24 team league that just did a 26 round live draft, so if you want I can ask if anyone used their phone for the draft. If you mean - how important is it to follow what other teams are doing - I would say not very - but opinions can vary on that.

For everyone who has not done a live draft - please check out "Mock Live Drafts" under the Community tab. As you can see, you can set a very large number of proxies, so each owner should be able to be absent for prolonged periods and still get up to 15 players that they have listed as proxies.

Thanks for the live draft length, franky - I can do the 14th at any time, if that helps. No need for the intel from your league, I should be good to go now here at home.

Later Sunday afternoon is fine, work until what is 4pm EDT, so 430pm EST is fine. Usually om call after that, but can tell them I'm unavailable.

It looks like, so far, Sunday, Aug. 14 at 4:30 PM ET is the the only time when it looks like everyone can attend the live draft. There are two more spots to be decided. Dan Gorman has indicated to me that any day other than Monday or Wednesday is ok. I think that only leaves hallerose and Takanahana as possible noes. If someone cannot make Sunday, Aug. 14 at 4:30 PM ET - please post here.
