Very few teams run the ball. In the old days a close game would mean lots of running but those are gone. I'm also hoping "establish the run" goes away too.
on average auction takes longer. You have to set nomination times and bid times to reduce that. Also some teams are finished before others and you have a couple of teams filling out their roster so you can complete in a shorter time than some. Not perfect but you don't watch players you want get drafted and feel helpless
Correct, our league is a bit better than that. If you nominate the worst player at the start , you're stuck with him. Do you draft 7th string WRs in a snake draft? Why would we bid on them in an auction? 20 seconds to bid so if a team nominates a K it only takes 20 seconds to be awarded. Not really a long time
I get that but auction is a lot more fun for us. I had skeptics in my league and now they'll never do a snake again
why would you want to pick a player then wait while 20 players get picked and you just sit and watch? Auction is fun ,exciting and stressful. It does take some effort and I know many would just prefer to wait for their pick, but that's boring to me
that's the fun part....I guess you prefer to watch 20 players go off the board while you wait your turn?
I'm commish of our league and there are no complicated rules
it was amazing how quickly it happened. 10am was a busy time for departures at that time. I was driving around checking on things and the quiet was very errie
I was at Phiily airport working for USAir. My wife a FA who flew to Madrid the night before. Received a call from the tower to shut down operations and get everyone inside. Cell phones and messaging apps not as advanced back then so could not get through to her to tell her what was happening. She was in Madrid for a week before she was able to fly home. Scary time for us
