I went ahead and closed the poll, and while the vote shows 9-9, my no vote doesn't count as I said before. Even if I do count it, it's a tie.
Whichever way I decide, half the voters want the other way, so which side should I upset? If I upset those who want a break and keep the draft going, they might just ignore the draft anyway and possibly resent their "autopicks". If I upset those that want to keep drafting by stopping the draft, they'll just have extra time to watch football and/or eat turkey.
With that in mind, I'll be pausing the draft for 2 days after the last pick tonight.
I mentioned before I want a 2 day break to keep the same game day schedule, so why Wednesday/Thursday instead of the holiday and Black Friday? I work in the pizza business and tomorrow is one of our busiest days of the year as people don't want to cook for themselves when they're cooking a big meal Thursday. Black Friday seems more like a chill day and easier to draft.
