I want Cueto. I understand I am 2 hours late, so I think it's fair that I am skipped. But I don't think it's fair that 5 picks jump ahead of me if I am only 2 hours late. Doesn't seem right to be subjected to an infinite number of picks jumping you, especially given that I am in regular contact with Bill and check the site at least once a day, sometimes twice. Missing the window happens - some people are online less frequent than others. I am ok with 2 or 3 picks per 3 hour window skipping someone who misses the deadline; 5 picks for being 2 hours late is unacceptable to me.

I don't know why everyone is in such a rush anyway.

Three hours is a good amount of time to draft a player. If you think you will be skipped you can email a list of players to draft to another team or teams who will draft for you. The 3 hour rule is there so that we can complete the draft for everybody involved in a reasonable amount of time since we have other things to do in our life.

"sine we have other things to do in our lives"....sounds like you reluctantly and uncomfortably put your life on hold for several days so you can do this draft while you would rather be doing something else. My opinion is if we relax a little bit with the draft, we won't have to make any sacrifices to our regular lives and can enjoy this thing for as long as it will last.
Also, I am not at all complaining about the 3 hour time limit - I think that works well. Just adamantly believe that the punishment for missing the window can be we way to severe in some instances.

If you don't have consequences it holds up the draft for everyone else.

I realize no one can draft now until this is resolved. So let's just give me Lowrie and move on. However, I hope written or unwritten, people will give this some thought in the future before they contribute to "blowing past" someone in the draft.

zill - I never said there shouldn't be consequences. Just think the punishment should fit the crime. I also think that capping the speed of the draft to 1 pick per 1.5 or 1.0 hours when someone is skipped should not be intolerable to anyone. That is probably the average speed of the draft anyways. In some instances the draft moves slower than 1 pick per hour anyway so during these times, if someone is skipped, then the proposed limit would not affect the draft speed at all.

3 hours is plenty of time to make a pick.

I believe that the clock runs out on Augusta at 12:51 pm PDT if I did the math right.
