Ok, we'll try 2-drafters-up-after-a-4-hour-headstart starting in the next round.
I didnt invent the method so please correct me if I'm wrong...
So Magrat has the double pick,
then Line & Length starts his 4hrs,
JOJOXI can jump in after 4 hours,
but ankitj has to wait until either 'both L&L & JOJOXI have picked' OR '8 hours after L&L was on the clock' whichever is first

To clarify bold
After the round starts with Magrat (assuming she has had her pick to end the previous round) Line & Length can jump in after 4 hours of Magrat's allocation have expired.
Line & Length's formal 8 hour allowance doesn't begin until Magrat has made her pick or has been timed out.
JOJOXI can jump in after 4 hours of Line & Length's allocation has expired.
ankitj has to wait until either L & L & JOJOXI have both picked OR after L & L has picked (or been timed out) and 4 hours of JOJOXI's 8 hour allocation have expired.

Don't L & L's timing out and 4 hours of JOJOXI's allocation expiring happen at the same time?

Happy with that interpretation.

The whole half and half thing is too complex for me to follow. Just tag me when I'm up.
EDIT: I have to admit I'm not a fan of the weird timing setup. 8 hours per pick is fine and a fair amount of time. If you might be unavailable when your turn is almost up, just leave your pick with someone else who is online at the time. Works well enough in some other forums I'm on and we normally have 16 teams.

To illustrate, say my turn comes up at 3 am and I'm obviously asleep at the time. When I get back online at 7:30 am someone else has picked ahead of me. If it was the player I wanted, I'd be annoyed because it's still technically my turn but I've lost out because I was understandably asleep at the time. It's just not a great way to start a morning.
Let's say I was awake at 11 pm and I know my turn is a couple of picks away, if I leave the pick I had in mind with someone online at the time, my pick gets made on time and doesn't impact the folks on the other side of the world plus I wake up next morning and see that I've got my first choice pick. Even if the pick I sent in was taken ahead of me, it matters not as that's all fair in the game of drafts and I can pick someone else at that point with considerably less frustration. Sure, the draft might be a little bit slower, but it is certainly a more fair approach.
Just to clarify for sure about the rules as I am a bit confused is this a change to the system used by L&L?
As if I am not mistaken in L&L's system my formal allocation would only start once L&L had timed out so my 4 hour allocation would be up 4 hours after L&L timing out. No issue if its just a case of you are up 4 hours after the last person was up or earlier if people before you have all picked but just want clarification please.
Will pick in the next 5 mins
