"If an owner misses a draft window entirely then all of their subsequent windows for the current draft will be halved (this applies to the Rule 5 and Rule 4 draft). This penalty clock halving can occur twice during a draft. This means than an owner's pick windows can shrink from 12, to 6, to 3 hours if they miss two pick windows. Windows cannot shrink below 3 hours in length. In the event of extraordinary or unavoidable circumstances (for example, a hospital visit or family emergency) the penalty may be revoked or not implemented at the commissioner's discretion."
