We're going to go with running the entire Amateur Draft in Statslab offline using the draft timer with pick selection time windows since it's shown tough to find a good time to get everyone together for a live chatroom and draft. Here's how I'll conduct the draft...

-6 hour draft window for the 1st and 2nd round with the 6 hour clock adjusting after each pick
-4 hour draft window in the 3rd and 4th round
-2 hour draft window (possibly smaller window) in the 5th, 6th, and 7th rounds to finish the draft
-Draft clock runs from 8:00 CST until 20:00 CST during the week with the timer pausing on the weekend
-I'll adjust the draft window past the 4th round after we finish the 2nd round (Statslab restriction) so don't look too far ahead as an accurate draft pick time window
-I'll try to send updates to the team up, on deck, and 3rd in line as much as possible.
-If you'll be away from the computer due to work/family/school, set up a draft queue list in Statslab, not the game or send me instructions via email/PM.

We are currently at the #5 overall pick which is Indiana. The Vipers are on the clock until 2:00pm CT tomorrow (11/6/13). Thanks for the understanding guys. Please voice any questions or concern here or to me in an email/PM.

David (PA) just messaged me a few minutes after his deadline pick at 2pm about his eventful morning. We might rollback to his pick (the CPU pick for him at 9 and Ohio's list pick at 10) if he wants to. Just an update!

Not to sound tough, but isn't that why we have a timer and lists - if someone gets auto'd they had a 6 hour warning on things?

Also couldn't someone (not suggesting at all that David is doing this) see who the teams after them draft and then pick one of those guys?

We're all good to go. David was cool with the CPU pick.

Currently at 12th overall which is my 1st round pick. Potential deals being discussed so likely going close to the deadline  8).

I wonder if 16-year-old prospect Chip Foley is current Colorado 1B PJ Foley's son?

Colorado decided to make a selection at 12th overall. New Jersey is on the clock. If we don't have an Oregon owner by tonight, I'll CPU their 1st round pick.

I took Jones in the end - flipped a coin over him and one of the hitters.
