Not sure where else to put this, but just thought I would throw out a proposal now as the draft is coming soon and think this idea would create more action around draft day.
I'm in 2 hockey drafts and 1 baseball draft and all 3 we have moved to what we call a "slow draft" The draft is completed over 3-5 days via a what's app draft thread rather than a live draft over a few hours. We could post on the 2025 draft thread on CP.
I'd like to propose that we switch to this format. I think we could make a schedule and complete over 4 days with 1 round needing to be completed each day. Not sure how we enforce people who take too long, but I would love to see the pace of the draft slowed up a bit to allow more trades. In all my leagues the activity spikes on draft day. This typically happens when a player a GM likes slips and there ends up being tons of picks for picks trades. Ripping through the draft doesn't allow for trade talks and once a player is drafted, most GMs hesitate to move a player they drafted and like.
Just a thought, but I think it would create more activity around the draft.
