I was thinking you could 2-3 per day on a first come, first serve basis. Or better yet, as guys pull out and say they're done with their cards, you could have guys make 2-3 picks more than once per day so long as the other participants have also picked. I guess my take would be this:
- Start with even round order.
- Two picks per person.
- Just keep following the snake draft. So if C, B and then A draft, if the window is still open C can draft again and so on. Then the next day you just pick up where you left off.
- You could also shorten the time limit to say 6 hours.
I hear you, but I think there has to be a reasonable limit in place. I work and I have a shifting schedule at times. I can't necessarily always be on while I'm at work either. That said I've done a lot of soccer drafts and am completely reliable. Punishing tardiness also keeps up the pace in my experience. I would suggest the following:
- 8 hour time limit minimum.
- No draft window, or at least a larger window if you're going to have one.
- If you go past 8 hours, you drop down to a 7 hour time limit. Next offense 6 hours and so on. Something like that.
