I wasn't around for the first creation draft but this is how it looks like it was done:
Round 1-4: 1 Round live per day (sometimes with a day in between) with you being able to make your picks on the board if you were up before the live draft
Round 5-8: No live sim but picking once you were up on the boards (3-hour rule during these rounds it seems) and you could also send in a list.
Round 9-15: CPU Picks to get through it
An original ABCA Legends member can correct me if i'm wrong. It seemed that everything was done in about a week with the original draft.

Sounds about right - I think we made a mistake doing 9-15 as CPU as some gems were picked there.

List on the board would be ideal for this guy, my new job has me unable to do anything live here and those lists would be hell for John to go through

I think the first two rounds we did as live sim only last time around which I wasn't a big fan of. I prefer to do as much on the board as possible personally, but starting on the board and finishing on a live sim might be the best time wise, depends how quickly picks go by on the board I guess.

Yeah we are getting close. Pretty excited to find out the draft order so I can figure out what I want to do before the actual draft kicks off.

Time frame wise, how far away are we from figuring out a draft order in your opinion? Not something I can comment on since I'm not handling that. I'd be surprised if it is much longer after we get the final draft class out but that is a guess as a regular GM and not something I'm saying as a committee member.

Think I am going with the... let the draft come to me mindset. Last time around, I forced going after young players and it took a couple seasons to get things right. No excuses this go around. Draft position and what is available this time!!
