I think the slow drafts are great, but the fast ones would work a lot better if you had specific times where drafts were so you don't have to sit around and wait for people to show.

So at a certain time, the draft will automatically fill with computer teams and start up?

Once the site is getting more traffic, you won't have to wait around as long. So I think that condition will improve soon. Would it be nice to have the option of "human only" drafts where you can't start until every team is filled by a user?

...And then also have drafts where they work like you said, starting at a certain time regardless if its full? Thanks for your feedback.

I think the site has some awesome potential. You have done a wonderful job. ;-D I will be using this tool quite a bit. However, today I attempted to draft a couple of times but could not get the number of participants necessary.

the fast ones would work a lot better if you had specific times where drafts were so you don't have to sit around and wait for people to show.


I think something like this is what the cafe members are suggesting:

I am currently working on making fast live drafts start once an hour. Once the traffic on the site picks up quite a bit, they will start more often.

I will also have "human only" drafts. And sometime down the road there will be private and custom drafts.

both of these sound really good ;-D The hourly draft will be a big success.

Scheduled drafts are now up and working. Each fast draft size starts each hour. And there are fast and slow drafts that won't start until they fill, so they are 'human only' drafts.

Thanks. I want to get all the bugs worked out before people start finding it in Google. So if anyone has a draft pause, or not start properly, let me know in here or in the feedback forum on the website. When I tested out the scheduled drafts on my own in the middle of the night, something went wrong. But after testing it again everything worked great. So I don't know what caused that problem.

I moved the site to a new host that should perform better.

If anyone is up for a quick mock draft, I'm over at couchmanagers.com trying to kill some time. I'm in the 12 team mock draft room.
