Because they felt like we didn't have enough stress in our life.

why? Maybe I'm missing something. You build a team, enter a league, you're ready for the draft

Here's my typical sequence lately: You build a team, enter a league, ....no green check mark next to my team, leave the league, look around for where to make my team "Ready", eventually find it, enter the league again and hope I have the green check mark next to my team.

From what I can tell this new feature has to do with being able to tinker with your team without having to leave the league and losing your spot. Was this an issue?

In a way yes. I'm not losing sleep over it, but...players championship event 5, 11 of us were"ready for draft" and waited 2 days for the 12th to click it. It's just an unnecessary step, I see no point i it. You build a team, enter a league, you're ready.

I agree you enter a team and then decide you want to change something so you had to leave the league and take the chance your spot might be filled, but that's the chance you take. But for 11 people wait for a 12th to play with his team for 2 days was BS

It's one of those specialized things for people who invite their friends to play, or for tournament leagues. It seems pretty pointless but they thought it was a good thing for the newer guys trying to fill their whole league with people they know.

I guess they didn't realize it can make a lot of people frustrated when someone forgets to click, "READY for DRAFT".

I do think it is nice that you can not enter a LIVE DRAFT room up to 12 hours early.
