Actually, lot's of people go to bed at 9-10 PM and get up at 5 or 6. Or is an eight hour time limit during the clock on period too short for you?Seriously, the same logic would say that midnight is too late to end the clock for those on the East coast, since most people in 8-5 type jobs aren't likely to stay up that late on a regular basis.Sorry, but this is just unnecessaryseriously, nobody gets up at 5 A.M....and our draft clock ends at 9:00 PM.As blatant as the bias in the BCS polls
and west coast

I have to say I disagree with this in so many ways. I think a more fair thing to do would be to go by central time then east coast time. That one extra hour can make a huge difference for the west coasters.Actually, lot's of people go to bed at 9-10 PM and get up at 5 or 6.

well, cuz 1)we rule and 2)BK was smart enough to put the left coasters on the same side of the draftafter a couple hic-cups getting started w/2 Rd1 time outs, we are well into the 12th round entering day 9...that's some nice drafting!but PDSL1 has no issues.

You don't want all of that excellence in just one draft.

We have an eight hour clock. If you check at bedtime, regardless of how late that is for you, then you ALWAYS know when you go to bed how far it is from your pick. All you have to do is plan accordingly. If you are within a couple of picks and want to sleep in a little, then send a list.
Not so hard.

Is there anything you don't ##### about? I'm sure if you ask nicely your shift manager will let you use the computer in the office if you do a go job cleaning the bathroom during your hourly checks.
Check before you go to bed. If you're up then pick. If not then worst case you'll be 3 hours into your 8 hour clock at 8am your time.

I don't have a problem with my picks...ace. Just pointing out the obvious bias that's exhibited in the draft policy.

Excluding the mulligan change and edit deal.The only bias being exhibited is that we let a chronic underperformer like you into these leagues. Please go back to watching the LAC10 rhythmic gymnastics championship and stop cluttering up the big boy forum.

Again...there is no bias. This isn't the fifties anymore. People work all kinds of crazy hours and shifts. Many people get up and are off to work by 6 AM on the East coast, and are in bed by 10.
Tell you what...when you start running some, you can change the "clock-off" hours to be midnight to 8 AM Western. Let's see what kind of a differance that makes.
Predicted result...a couple of East Coasters use a couple hours of clock time, and a couple of west coasters who used to now don't. Draft itself finishes 6 hours later then it would have before.

Its easier to time out for a west coaster than an east coaster the way the clock hours have been setup if one just checks during normal waking hours. Yes.

I would turnoff the clock from 1 AM to 9AM...which is still slightly beneficial to the East Coasters...just not as blatantly bias.Link?For trying to improve the process? I guess if you want.Jeff Pasquino said:I agree. Should I ban you?Just saying there's an opportunity for improvement here.

Now then, that's much better. I would not have any difficulty supporting this and I am a Central Time Zoner. Sad that it took this long to get a suggestion though. Why don't you start a new poll with a vote either for or against the new clock hours.
Might be better if you got one of the Jeffs to post the poll because others might be less swayed to just say NO.

Seriously? One friggin' hour? When you have eight hours to make a pick? What does that improve?
