Rich - it varies from league to league. I even heard of one league that
takes callers one by one - call up, get the last 10 or eleven picks, make
yours, hang up - all within 30 seconds! What a nightmare that must be.
We prefer a conference call where everyone is on at the same time. That
way you can hear the pain in the other guy's voice when you steal his
favorite player. We do it on an 800 line so the call is free (of course
you reimburse us for it in the entry fees) but then you don't get a big
phone bill to boot. Some leagues charge you for the phone draft then you
don't get a toll free line.
We had rave reviews on our drafts last year and nobody lost their place
as we read back the rosters 3 or 4 times. Phone drafting is the best part
of the season!
