Yeah, my local IDP 12-team league is redraft and we don’t allow for mid-draft trades. It’s 26 rounds and already takes 6.5 hours. Plus breaks.This is the biggest benefit of slow on-line drafts.....the ability to work deals.But we do a live in-person draft and I don't want to sit there trying to make deals and make it last an extra hour for everyone, haha.
In my live dynasty draft we do have mid-draft trades but usually it is due to a specific draft pick situation (too many picks, or desperately needing a pick). We have a 25 round draft as it is full IDP, rookie, and due to salary cap we only keep 15 players so a lot of room to maneuver.
We’d be here all weekend if we let folks trade during the draft.
In theory we could just say, “ok 2 mins on the clock. Pick or trade GO!” But that would be chaos.
Slow draft format is perfect for trading. 3 hour clock, clock paused 9 PM - 6 AM
