We're actively drafting during the day between 9 AM and 11 PM. Let's say LastWhiteSoxFanStanding makes his next pick at 10:30 PM tonight. Now cubboyroy1826 is on the board. Let's say he makes his pick at 11:30 PM. He "used" 30 minutes of game time. Now I would expect to have to make my pick by 9 AM since I had the entire overnight period to pick. Is that correct?

Let's say also that cubboyroy1826 did not make a pick in the overnight period. When would his deadline be the following morning? Would it not be 2:30 PM since he had 30 mins from the following night?

Aren't we always going in six hour time increments during the week?

If I'm reading it correctly, essentially it's like this:

Standard 6 hour pick time limit: 8am-10pm CT

If you're on the clock more than an hour prior to the cutoff (10pm), you have 1 hour when the clock starts in the morning to make your pick.

If you're on the clock less than an hour before the cutoff (or if the pick is made during the dead time [10:01pm-7:59am]) then you have 2 hours from when the clock starts in the morning.

So essentially the dead time counts as around 4 hours worth of clock time.

Sort of a check in last thing/first thing setup from what I'm seeing.
