/I'm going to use a business analogy:
If an employee of mine is taking too much time to do the task (using a system that is known to work - and works for others) - I sit with that employee and work out why they are taking longer and look to retrain/upskill the employee - if that doesn't work I change the employee. I don't go and change the process to do the task.
What we're doing by suggesting to move the draft is saying "we're happy to have lazy GMs who don't check how the draft is going (one of the main responsibilities of being a GM IMO), and we'll gladly make changes to accommodate them"
What should be happening is the first 12 picks are done before the Championship series is completed. Typically what happens is the team drafting first takes 3 days to draft as there's no timer or impetus on them to draft, then the 2nd pick takes 2 more days and so on. Start slow continue slow.. start fast and at least set the scene for others to follow.
Yes, I am still against moving the draft for 2 reasons:
1. There is no fair way to create the draft order (lottery doesn't work, a tiered or weighted lottery doesn't work either, last season's standings is definitely not fair)
2. We're changing a system to accommodate our weakest link as a league (The GMs who don't pick in a timely fashion)
