Figured we can get the ball rolling discussing the next big draft.
Personally I'd love the two team format to return.
Any thoughts?

Easy!2) IF we bring back trading, it'll be tougher to administer 2 teams per GM. .
I like the idea, but I also don't want to go back to one team already
There was talk about an auction-based draft a year or two ago. There were logistical challenges in running the draft; setting those aside, is there any interest in that format?
1) Bring back trading! It's been, what, 3 drafts in a row with no trades? Time to mix it up.
2) IF we bring back trading, it'll be tougher to administer 2 teams per GM.
3) To me personally, I care more about mixing up the number of teams in the draft vs whether we have 1 or 2 teams per GM.
I will only be handling one team this year.
If there is trading we should limit the draft to one team per GM.
If I had my way, I'd have an even tighter cap on the number of trades. I'd limit to three. But then, I'm probably not going to jump into the fray this time- so no-one has to be too concerned with my preferences. [Make my 1st Main ATD a trades-allowed ATD?! Why don't I just style what's left of my hair with a MixMaster while I'm at it!?]
Agreed. Each pick has a single clock that doesn’t change if it gets traded.
I thought that’s was already the rule.
Yeah, the biggest issue IMO with trading was when we’d see a GM use 95% of their clock (all day, in prime drafting hours) only to trade the pick with 20 minutes left to go on their clock. Then, the team who acquired the pick could take hours to select. That exact scenario may not happen often, but it still can be enough to disrupt an entire day of drafting which could be frustrating for those few GM’s who are itching to pick within the next few.
I’m good with trading of course, but I think we should try to eliminate that above scenario from happening too often.
I also think we should have a max limit per GM. I’d hate to see the ATD becoming a GM game with certain teams making 10 trades and trading just for the sake of it.
Indeed.Traditionally, we have banned trades on the clock, ...
