30 minutes...make it like the NFL and spend a couple days on the draft. All the more authentic ;-D

My leagues use 120 seconds...

Although, in my money league, we are considering dropping the time to 90 seconds, because now that everyone is bringing laptops, and trying to do their research on the clock, it's getting tedious...

We do 2 min each and it's worked fine. Very rarely does anyone go over 30 seconds though.

Interesting idea!

Then again, I have a feeling quite a few significant others wouldn't be terribly enthusiastic about that plan... :-?

We give 90 seconds for the first 5 rounds,as it should be fairly easy to make your pick at that point,but give an extra 30 seconds for the remaining rounds to serch through and find that sleeper or whatever.This is the first year of doing this,as in the past we had only 8 teams and never thought of time as an issue.Now we have 10 and while not a significant increase,we wanted to keep the focus on the draft and not let people's minds wander.
