Chris, we WILL resolve this before next year's draft.
Having an owner draft remotely due to a business trip is hardly unprecedented. Having 25% of the teams not represented on Draft Night is. It definitely slowed down the drafting to the point where everyone became impatient. We should resolve this before next year’s draft.
Go back to the sticker system with a person we all chip in to pay to take care of the stickers and keep the draft moving. The way we do it now sometimes the team that is one the clock doesn't even know they are on the clock....how do I know that because we did it a couple of times. If you have somebody there to gently nudge the owners it will go faster. The only time we did this above we were done by midnight. And we had more teams and drafted more rounds. Each team chips in $20 and walla a quick fun draft.
And start the draft at 7pm instead of 8pm, it Greg and Scott are ok with it.

Dude, have you attended Draft Night? We make that resolution every single year and a .300 average is still regarded as a respectable benchmark.
