Move UP draft

I got a question from a new league owner, and he wants to know if he can move up the date of the draft since the league filled within a day or two and now they have to wait a week to start the draft

Unless any owner has experienced doing it ..

My second try would be to message jdb and see if it can be done.

I've intentionally not allowed it mainly because I don't want someone to think that they can wait until a certain date before joining the draft and then come in and realize that the draft is half-over on that date. I'm not opposed to giving that access, but I feel like we need a little bit better push notification system to the members of the league to at least allow the league owner to make sure everyone knows about the sooner start date.

Interesting
This group came from an offsite community so they have that kind of ability to reach everyone involved since the players were all hand-picked and communicated with directly by the league owner, but that's definitely an exception rather than the rule

I am sure most league owners agree they would like a method to be able to PM all 32 coaches at once. I lost a few months out of my life sending the same PM 32 times.

My freaking gawsh is it time consuming to PM every GM.
I would like to see Site Interface updates in the roadmap. There are so many things from forum ease of use, to ownership, to stats, to administering a league that we all want to see happen.

I am actually focusing on a site interface update above the game engine right now.
