Re: 2024 Idea: Should We Offer Slow Drafts For Primetime & OCs?

So, was curious on the impact myself so I pulled some data together from a well-known competitor for football who has been offering slow drafts for similar contests.
Not sure if this will post well, but basically I didn't find any statistical difference when it comes to winning overall prizes between teams that qualified for the overall sprint from fast drafts vs slow drafts.
For the $350 level contest, Slows represented 21.7% of the overall # of leagues and won 21.3% of the # of overall prizes. Didn't have the patience to pull that last number by % of overall prize $ won, but the distribution of winners looked normal (that is, there were 15 slow winners in the overall top 100 and they were equally distributed in the top 100).
For the larger buy in contest, the numbers were similar. Slows represented 18.3% of the overall # of leagues and won 18.7% of the # of overall prizes (and had 16 winners in the top 100, again equally distributed in the top 100).
