We need a fool proof way to announce that your on the clock as well. We could have each GM join Discord or Slack and after each pick you tag the next GM on the clock.

I'm all for shorter times between picks. Just need to make sure, as Bob said, GMs are notified when OTC. Either through slack or discord, or conscriptor notifications.

(a)I made a discord bot that pings each owner for IFL when they are up, could easily configure to use in other leagues.

I'm working on a new draft tool (not conscriptor) that will have auto email alerts that can be set, but testing is just now getting underway, so not sure how quickly emails will be delivered yet. I'll post an announcement about the draft tool once testing is done.

It may not be popular, but I'd be okay with a fully AI-generated allocation draft. Hit the button, be done, get playing the game.

I ran a draft through the new tool and it was very promising. I received emails within seconds of going on the clock. Can't do anything about how often your phone is set to pull new emails, but the tool spits them out quick.

Hey guys, i thought i’d jump in here to help as it was Rob and myself who set up the V draft.

Firstly, you’re going to have a snake draft, some one needs to go into the draft utility and change it to 53 rounds, i am not sure it’s best to ask Rob but i think that was an issue and possibly Hooper got involved, but i could be wrong.

Secondly someone will also have to go into the utility and put all the teams in order for 53 rounds of the draft. I did this and it was long and boring work.

Thirdly I thought there were way too many studs generated. Maybe that was the luck of the draw and maybe if we’d have done it again we’d not have got enough. It was also clear some were getting bored by round 20-30. Any I hope that helps and good luck with the league.

Oh PS look at those real NFL Raiders 🏴‍☠️ Just win baby
