I just turned email notifications on, then pmed myself using another account and got an email notification immediately with zero delay.
Doesn't this draft give you a 12 hour window once it's your pick? Added to the ability to look and see "oh there are so many guys still ahead of me so I can probably assume it will be so long before it's my turn" This isn't rocket science. Aside from when I was asleep I've literally never taken more than 2 hours to make a pick in keeper because I can look at a clock.
