This has been my experience also.12 Team dynasty draft
25 player rosters
heres a tip...
go to http://mockdrafts.thecommish.tv
create a draft with an unlimited timer. Everyone can log in and draft online. You don't have to pay a dime and it organizes all of your draft information for you. You can even make draft trades and enter in your keeper players.
I don't know, that just seems easier to me.
Edited to add: You can also prerank your players and have the computer draft a player for you. So say you are up in 3 picks, you can autodraft 3 players and when your turn is up, the best available player that you chose will get picked for you. That in itself can speed up the draft for you....

Doesn't a slow email draft allow for the potential for one owner to gain an unfair advantage due to it being his turn when some important news breaks? I'd encourage another drafting method.

I have 2 leagues that have used the MFL version of slow email drafts for several years.
25 or so man rosters, 12 teams. More like 22 rounds in the draft since we have keepers using up about 2-3 rounds worth of picks. We normally make it through in 10-14 days. 4 hour timer that runs from 8 am to midnight but is turned off overnight. If your timer runs out your pick is skipped until you submit it via email to the entire league.
Getting everyone's cell phone numbers together helps. People frequently will call each other if they have been on the clock an hour or two. We have 1 owner who is bad about making picks in a timely manner. There's been some talk of a rule that if your timer expires twice during a draft, you get the MFL option set where as soon as it is your pick the cpu selects from your pre-draft list and moves on.
The later rounds seem to take longer than the early ones as people get tired of having paid attention to it for a week and don't watch it as close.
