Drafts - Extended draft pick times and slow drafts
This would allow commissioners to extend the time that is allotted to each team for each pick during the draft longer than the current maximum. Currently, the maximum draft pick time is 2 minutes.

You can also do an off-line draft and then import the results into Yahoo! afterwards. That might be the best option to look into.

Send text messages and/or emails to the remote player so they can keep up with the picks.
Skype and similar products would be useful for situations like this.

We have 8 guys inour league and only 7 of us get together for the draft. So I usually enter the picks as we are drafting but I need to call the other guy and explain who has been taken and who is still available which takes a lot of time. It is impossible for the out of town guy to get his pick in if he is limited to 90 seconds. We take about 5 minutes on our picks and it would be nice to give the out of town guy that same option.
