Though I support a 12 hour clock, I think a 24 hour clock is the best (with no waiting until Friday for it to start). No matter what amount of time we choose as being logical, we are not going to guarantee many picks. The 8 hour clock (waiting until 9 PM ET Friday) would guarantee 6 picks. A 24 hour clock would guarantee 2 picks.
Is a difference in 4 picks worth having a GM pissed off because something came up and quitting? I get it that we could allow for extenuating circumstances to allow for a temporary extension on the clock, but that opens up gray areas and the necessity for Andy to (basically) constantly check the chat and forum PMs to see if anyone has told him they'll be delayed.
A 24 hour clock is simple, straight forward, and at least gets the draft rolling to an extent. A lot of times it's one person holding it up and a number of other picks would happen if at least one person could be skipping NFL style. It's not asking much for people to check the site once a day when they know the draft is coming, but 8 (even 12) hours could be seen as unfair if real life events come up.
- 24 Hour Clock when Sim #4 is posted
- Team is skipped after 24 hours from last pick (or file being posted)
- Clock resets to 24 hours once the skipped GM picks
