Beginning on Tuesday, 9/8 we will be adopting a wave format for the rest of the draft. Please read carefully so you understand how this works. Each Round is 36 picks that are grouped into 6 groups of 6. At 6 designated times each day the rounds will be run. You can send a list or the draft picks will be done/announced live on slack. Each round will take no more than 10 minutes to complete. There will be no time allotted for talking trade etc. You have until your wave time hits to do all that. So be prepared or face the dreaded auto pick.
WAVES? WHAT? EXPLAIN?
All rounds after the Labor Day Holiday (Tuesday 9/8) are done via the wave method. That means, rather than each pick having an individual time slot, a series of picks have the same pick end time/date. You can continue to pick live on the boards as soon as the team ahead of you makes a selection, however, your pick must be made, you must be on slack OR you must have a list sent . Not doing any of these things and you will be autoed. To be safe you should always send a list.
Here is an example of what the top of each post for a round will look like
Wave #1 is in red and hits at 8 AM CST on 9/8.
Wave #2 is in blue and hits at 11 AM CST on 9/8
Wave #3 is in green and hits at 2 PM CST on 9/8.
Wave #4 is in white and hits at 5 PM CST on 9/8.
Wave #5 is in yellow and hits at 8 PM CST on 9/8.
Wave #6 is in pink and hits at 11 PM CST on 9/8.
Just so we are clear, here is an example of how this will work... if CSKA, Generals and Maccabi make their picks today, but the Lakers do not and the wave hits at 8 AM CST tomorrow morning, the Lakers, Raptors and Flamengo all must have lists sent via PM, be active on Slack at exactly 8 AM or they will be autoed. Those lists need to have at least enough names on them to take them to their selection (i.e., the Flamengo, in this instance, should have at least three players on their list)
