Just to keep the drafting from going on for a month, I'd think it wiser to limit it to four rounds.

I'd like to use this league to experiment with drafting a bit. In essence, it's like the one I posted in the suggestions thread. Step one will involve setting the draft order:

Round 1: Names from a hat (or similar randomization device)
Round 2: Same, backwards.
Round 3: New names from the metaphorical hat
Round 4: The new names, backwards.

Once the draft order is set, we'll set a timetable for reasonable hours (say, 8:30 PM until 11:30 PM Eastern each night). Every ten minutes, someone will gain the opportunity to draft. They don't have to draft in that ten minutes (although that makes the most sense strategically), but they do have to draft before the trading deadline. Each empty slot at the trading deadline is a 25-point penalty. (The penalty exists because it's possible for someone to lose points on a team that they drafted correctly. It should be impossible, however, for a team that competes to lose 25 FF points.)

Trading your time slot is just like trading teams--one for one. Package deals with a team and a time slot are considered fair game, so long as both parties are switching equal numbers of teams and time slots.

Thoughts?
