if we are 15 teams and we need to draft 12 players each, with 4 hours between drafts and the nighttime pause, it could take 720 + hrs to complete the draft. I understand that not everybody will use the 4 hrs, but just in case, what happens if we are not done and the season start gets close? I think we could accelerate the draft like after the 7th round, having teams 1-5 pick 1 player, teams 6-10 pick 2, teams 11-15 pick three and then not reverse the order of the drafters but the number of the picks, like team 1-5 pick 3, teams 6-10 pick 2 and team 11-15 pick 1. If we do this twice we would get our 12 player rosters. I would consider this anyway to accelerate the drafting process a little!

6 picks every 24 hours, the first match of the season on January 3rd (as of now)

34 days from the start of the draft to first serve. So, 34 days x 6 picks a day = 204 picks

You can also draft during idle time.

All right, it's going to be a trickle.... The positive side is that every pick can be somewhat responsive to the other team strategies

peaks out of my bubble of mostly P4/quality mid major D1 womens volleyball - some of these mens programs are fake right? like I've never even heard of half of these colleges.

It’s amazing isn’t it

I’m not sure I understand the placeholders..?

The last three that signed up are the placeholders and coincidentally are all in different divisions. Placeholders are there since we have no idea who the eliminated teams are yet. Hopefully, by week three, we'll get a pretty good idea of who's safe and who's on the chopping block.

I think there is a slight chance this ends up as a 14-team league.

I still don’t get it. Lol. So after Week 4, 3 teams one from each division get eliminated. Do the placeholders play in division play in Weeks 1-4?

[Timeless]

yep, the bottom team gets the boot. The placeholders are for when the 15-team league shrinks to a 12-team league, and I generated the schedule using a 12-team league. Trying to configure a 15-team league gave me a headache.
