The 10 hours is there so that the draft somewhat flows. Once we start, people get really into it and can't wait for their next pick. It wouldn't be fair for us to have 13 people sitting and clicking refresh to see how close their pick is, and one person who consistently took over 10 hours. Some people would lose interest, others would get frustrated...we can't do a live draft because of time zones, plus it's fun to have more time to strategize and adjust, but the least we can do is keep the draft moving at some kind of pace.
We usually start fairly early and could stand to start a little later because you guys are right, we're still 20 days out. But I think that's separate from whether we have a time limit.
Something that has been an option for years is sending a list of choices to someone else, via PM, or text, etc, and I don't see why that's such a bad deal. 10 hours is a long time considering that option is available. We picked 10 hours because that allows for more than a "normal" night's sleep and also more than a "typical" work shift. And because if 10 hours isn't enough, a list can easily be sent to someone.
