30 second picks is crazy.
My private draft we tried 1 minute once and found it all a bit rushed. 2 minutes works well. Still get a draft done in 2-3 hours.
Its hard to do that when people are across multiple timezones, and a few people draft at work.
Its easy to pop into a draft window regularly to check progress whilst working, but you can't dedicate a couple hours to it.
Having a draft take place over a couple of days is fine - but it still needs to actually progress. You guys have been going over a day and made 7 (?) actual picks plus one autopick.
If you are timing out on a 12 hour draft something is going wrong.
