Have the draft board up and running (without the clock moving) on Friday evening, so we can get a jump on Saturday for those who are around.

Run 2 rounds worth of picks from 8 AM Saturday thru 10 PM Saturday AND 8 AM Sunday until noon Sunday.

This gives you an extra 4 hours of time allotted, and we can still get two rounds in during the course of the weekend, before starting up again on Monday for Round 3.

Just an idea.
I like this idea alot.

Some of us need to go to church with our mothers on mother's day (or breakfast, or brunch, etc). I'm fine with the rest of the idea, but if we're going to honor mother's day we should honor the whole day.

Yup agree we need to have it open where if you want to pick you can but if you are not around there is no clock running....

I like the idea of having the first round on Saturday and then waiting until Monday to go on with rounds 2+.

Yeah, I don't understand the 8 a.m. until noon on Sunday thing ... I assume that is the busiest time for the many of us with Mother's Day plans - church, then brunch.

I think we should have round 1 Saturday.

I don't have an issue of having it opened on Friday or Sunday - without the clock running.

No need to rush through it.

I would really rather not have to worry about the draft on Sunday.

Mother's Day is a pretty big event in my household.

Lets just all fly to Vegas and meet together for a day and hammer the draft out in person. We could all have our team logos over our head and get a mic to make the announcements. A few beers in it would feel just like the real thing. I would need a few inflatable dolls for my war room though.
