Keep them like it says. Anyone that goes on the clock after 10:00 pm EST will get until 8:00 am EST the next morning to pick. Ace gets until 12:23. He has 6 hours from about 6 to midnight, that's sufficient.

Yeah, it is confusing, I think what cpaw meant was that the miswording is where he probably meant that any pick whose time ran past 10 would get until 8AM ET. I probably got that confused when I agreed with cpaw as well. I run the 2nd GM Draft, and I do it so that anyone whose 6hr period runs past midnight ET, gets until 8AM ET the next morning to make their pick. Ask ZAE to reword it Sorry for the confusion everyone.
The timing makes sense to me. Maybe we could give people until 9AM instead of 8AM. In my case, 8AM ET is 5AM PT which is just a little on the early side. The 10PM cutoff is 7PM for me, which is plenty reasonable to respond to an email notification of a PM and make a pick.

Btw I want it noted that Denny I read your post on the selections thread about Ace's choosing of Biedrins, thank you for letting him and I know. I have deleted both his selection as well as your post. But I wanted you to know that I got it and thank you.
Shucks, I'm afraid he just posted his pick and moved on. I was hoping he'd see my post and make another pick. I would rather pick now, obviously, and see him not lose his chance at his choice of guys left, than wait another 3.5 hours to see him skipped.
I sent him a PM, too. He's not going to be listed as on the site for more than a couple more minutes. No activity since 17 past the hour.

Thoughts on Daniels? I took him about the same time last year, and I took him again this year for similar reasons. I wanted a veteran point who takes care of the ball (one of the best in the league at assist to turnover ratio), plays good defense, and is versatile enough to play the 2 guard position. Plus, he can still score enough to keep the defense honest. I really like that I have no defense liabilities right now.

He's a great veteran to have run your team and is very underrated IMO
I love Daniels. He's as good a backup PG as there is. He can do tons of things well and your team doesn't skip a beat. He has health issues, though, and he is getting old.
I think Skip has a case for Rockets MVP last year. I can't believe some of the PG that went before him. He played much smarter last season. His understanding of team defense and the way he guards the perimeter are terrific. He's a legit starting point. One of the better ones.
