Ok, seeing no better option, we are moving to a slow auction. One year only. The link to join is here: https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/?auction_id=156 and the password to join is thefirst (all one word, all lower case). I'll get an email out to the league shortly with a lot more info on how this works.
-
Yeah, I think that is where we are. If anyone has another idea or anyone can reschedule something to make one of the weeknights work, fine...but if we don't have a better plan by tomorrow, I'll get us set up at couch managers.
-
I'm fine with slow draft, since we can't make a date work for everyone.
-
Ok we officially do not have an option that everyone can make for a weeknight. We have a couple options that we can get all but one. So unless someone can be flexible one of the nights they said no, I'm not sure we have great options

Parker Geoff Dustin, need your votes
-
last shot - here are a bunch of weeknights. since we can't find a weekend, hopefully one of these works. if not, we resort to a slow auction and next year hopefully there won't be a lockout and we can get planned earlier.

im fine with weeknights if it works for more people
-
Alright, we are looking at April 2 or 3 with no Parker or Jee Hang, or March 20 with no Parker or Allan and only one of Horwitz/Miller. We don't have votes from Geoff or Dustin, so could be without one of them too. we could try to find a weeknight but we'd be talking about like 6 PM PT/9PM ET/3 AM Swiss time, which seems crappy for almost everyone (not so bad for us west coasters but real late weeknight for ET and awful for Shanas). So...have we exhausted all options except slow auction?
-
I can't do 3/20 at 3pm PT - I think I thought it was 6pm PT
-
Maybe I misread the time. If that is Sunday at 3:00 pm PST, then I can make it.
-
we have ten responses (from 9 teams, since Horwitz and Miller both replied). the closest. thing we have to a time that works is 3/20 where Allan can't make it, Horwitz is a maybe/Miller a No, and Shanas is a maybe. Assuming Geoff and Dustin can make it, we could do that day and figure out a proxy for Allan, but that seems not ideal.
-
I can't do the 27th and Doodle is super stupid and won't let me put in a date and then say I'm unavailable. Apparently since I am setting up the poll I can't say no.
-
maybe I'm looking at the doodle wrong, but I don't see any times listed on the 27th?
-
if it helps and people wanna do a night draft, im def willing to do the asshole of night/morning swiss time. totally free on the 27th. only times i cant do are 18-20th, and 26th 6-10:30pm swiss time
-
Ok, please fill this out. If we find a time that works, great. If not, we will go with the slow draft. try to fill this out ASAP! https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/NbWRAMEa
-
prefer live too, but if we don't have any choices then so be it.. did anyone object to the 27th?
-
I can send out a lot of details later but no you can't just wait. Any change in who is the leading bidder with <8 hours left resets the clock to 8 hours. You can also enter a "max bid" so if you start an auction on a guy at $1 but put in your max at $60, then I bid $45, the system will up your bid to $45 and you'll still be leading. I'll email out a lot of info if we go this way.
-
I would much rather do a normal auction, if it's at all possible. The slow auction should be a last resort.
-
I'm fine with that here, but I've never used it. How do slow auctions work like this? I mean, I get the nominating part, but are people just waiting until the last second to place bids?
-
I'm good w a slow draft given the situation. in the future we should pick a date in early February

So given the limited time before the season, there was a motion (and a second) to do a slow auction. We'd use Couch Managers and teams would be able to nominate two players at a time, with each player being up for 12 hours. Would likely take us about a week to do this. I've done it for a number of other leagues over the years and it works well when you can't schedule. Alternatively I can send out a Doodle survey tonight. Thoughts on slow auction?
-
I can’t do 5 PM Central. I’m open on the 27th.
-
I am ok with the 3 pm/6 pm/11 pm swiss time on the 26th.
-
April 2nd/3rd doesn't work well for me, so I strongly support something on the 26th/27th
-
I had my Swiss time wrong, but also that time doesn't actually work for Shanas. so proposing 3 PM PT/6PM ET/11 PM Swiss Time. If that doesn't work, think we might just push back a week and try the next day or the following weekend. let me know!
-
9 a.m. PT on the 3/26 works for me.
-
We got a season! Yay!
3/26 draft? Suggesting 9 am PT/noon ET/6 pm Swiss time? Is that too early for the west coasters? Too dinner time for the Swiss?
-
3/26 or 3/27 would be fine with me.
-
Right now, they're saying they need as little as three weeks to get a season started. We could wait but we may find ourselves rushing to schedule something in a three week period. My opinion is that we all have the same info/lack the same info so I think it's fair and fine to auction without waiting.
-
Does anyone else think we should hold off on doing the auction if the lockout is still going on? There is going to be a lot of player movement once this ends.
-
3/26 and 3/27 work for me as well.
-
3/26 or 3/27 looks good for me
-
It looks like a delayed start to the season, unless something crazy happens in the next few hours. Based on that, I think a 3/5 or 3/6 draft seems early and I know a couple other managers agree. Last we chatted, 3/26 or 3/27 looked feasible and maybe we should target that? it would either be right before planned opening day or hopefully no more than a month before unplanned opening day. we typically do something sorta mid-day. early afternoon ET?
-
hey guys, was with geoff and chad this past weekend and we were talking about bauer for the 2022 season whenever it may happen. given his limbo wrt potential MLB suspension, we thought it might be best to put him on the restricted list for the 2022 season, eligible to come off post-arbitration this year so no one can roster him for the 2022 season. if anyone has issue with that or has questions about why this makes sense, let me know

less than four hours to go
-
Just a bit under 27 hours to make cuts or trades
-
cuts due in 1 week (and 2 hours).
-
all of those dates work for me. only the weekend of 3/18-21 wont work for me so should be good. as always if we can start earlier in the day that's better, but i am flexible on time.
-
Two weeks until the trade/cut deadline. Also, re: draft, it seems like 3/5, 3/6, 3/26 or 3/27 would be our best bet weekend days. Anyone have a conflict with any of those?
-
hey guys, because of the lockout i've delayed the keeper deadline universally to 2/15. a bit more time to make final trades/cuts. if the lockout persists into february this date may change again.

i'm unavailable 2/18-2/21, as well as 3/9-3/14. anything else should work just fine.
-
Welcome Dustin! I can't do 2/19-20 or 3/19-20; First or second weekend of March would be ideal for me...
-
Hey all, just a reminder that the cut/trade deadline is end of January (11:59 pm ET 1/31 I believe). Update trade blocks and get ready to make cuts! Also, we'll need to find a draft date soonish. If anyone has any Feb/March dates that you definitely cannot make, let everyone know. I'm out 2/20-2/27 and 3/13 I'm out until 5 pm ET or later
-
Welcome Dustin!

I've brought this to Dustin and he has seen the roster and despite that is still interested in taking the spot. If anyone has someone else please let me know and we can discuss, otherwise I'd like to give the spot to Dustin.

I support Dustin's candidacy

my buddy Dustin, who many of you have met, would be interested in this spot. he's played ottoneu for a few years but only 5x5.

We also still need a new manager to replace Brandon if anyone has any ideas!
