Post here which team you select when it is your turn to draft.
You will have 6 hours to make your pick after the team ahead of you has made theirs. After 6 hours you will be skipped, and will be eligible to draft any time. I will send an email to you after 6 hours to alert you of the skip.

I will go ahead and make my pick. The next pick will not be on the clock until 9 tomorrow, but I'm not trying to get up that early. Lol.
With the first pick I will take my hometown team- The Texas Rangers

With the second pick in the Full Count Franchise Draft, I will leave a lot of good teams on the bored and take an up and coming franchise with a lot of potential- the Cincinnati Reds

The draft doesnt officially start til 9 AM EST in the morning... we all just made our picks to try to speed it up but i guess the 4th person is not picking so what we'll do is we'll start the 6 hour timer @ 9 tomorrow morning and after that 6 hours the next pick (#5) will be eligible to draft

It shouldn't take each team six hours to pick, should it? Okay, maybe later in the selection process it might take somewhat longer after the premium teams come off the board, but six hours is a stretch. We certainly don't intend to sit here for sixty hours waiting for our turn.

i think picking 4 th- they have until 9 am tomorrow. so i wouldn't be surprised until then. first pick on clock at 9 a.m.- 6 hours everyone has. so that could be only 4 picks a day. that's why should be patient not to skip anyone. i pick 18th- that could be like day 5. i'm ready to pick now but like some one said can't be at the computer 24/7 to see when it's your turn. we where moving fast but the other guy probably figured he had a lot of time before his pick.

You have 6 hours from the last pick. The last pick was made about 18 hours ago but the draft didn't officially start until 9 this morning. So the 4th pick has until 3 this afternoon. If they make the pick before then, the next pick's 6 hours start at that moment.

This is right... so the 4th pick has until 3 PM EST. If he hast picked by then he will be skipped but he will be able to jump in and pick at any point after that. Whenever the pick in front of you posts their pick from now on u have 6 hours to post your pick... It shouldn't take 6 hours to post but we are trying to give people the opportunity to get to the computer. Also, the 6 hours won't count overnight... I don't expect people to be at their computers at 2 or 3 in the morning waiting to pick. So we'll cut it off @ 12 AM EST. If people log in and draft it shouldn't take that long... It's if people don't log in that the 6 hours is going to be detrimental

because the clock on collin (the 10th pick) will run out at 11ish my time (12 EST), this 10th pick will be the last mandatory pick of the night... meaning that the clock for the 11th pick (or any pick that is on the clock if there are picks made tonight) will not officially start til 9 AM EST tomorrow.
