Have you thought of doing the draft over a few days and assigning time slots? It appears most of the people that signed up are very young and don’t really care or are complete flakes.

we should call it quits now. If we have to I can do the 5th round but people are not interested at this point

I will be honest. In my heart I want to do round five. But people need to pay attention and my trigger is going to be short on assigning picks if people screw up and draft players already taken.

I adjusted my schedule, did a lot of prep work to be able to have picks ready. And others didn’t have the courtesy to take it seriously or even follow directions to shut the hell up while picking was going on.
