Twice, my pick came while I was sleeping.  If I exclude the time between midnight and 8 am, my average response time is 51 minutes.  The average response time for all picks since the start of the draft (excluding the 8 hours between midnight and 8 am) is about 2 hours..

Evidently not everyone has access to WIS like you do schwarze!

Next version of this theme, if I run it again, the draft will be done differently. Would speed it up to 1 full round per day.

When you think about it, 2 hours per pick is pretty reasonable for an untimed draft.  If course, this is an average... which means for every instance where there's three picks made in a hour, there's an instance where 7 hours pass before a pick is made.  It's those delays that can be frustrating, especially for those who are just a couple of picks away.

Honestly, for a draft that doesn't really allow advance research (because the person ahead of you could do anything), I think the current rules are reasonable. Certainly, we only have time to coordinate and make a selection at specific times of the day during the week, or slowly doing it over email, which can take a while. I would have to conclude that we wouldn't be able to play in a league like this if it enforced one-hour time slots. At least, not as things currently stand in Life.

We can do wizard drafts because we can set up our draft board in advance the night before -- really easy to just pull a name off a list.
