Sounds good
-
Should we just lock in February 9th? I'd prefer an early evening start time, Eastern. So 4pm Arizona is 6pm Eastern would work, though an 7 or 8 pm easter time would be better.
-
I mean 2/2 isnt idea that's my bday. But 2/9 works any time after 4pm az time.
-
2/9 works for me as well.
-
Alternatively, 2/9 would work for me.
-
I personally like evening drafts. What about 2/2 at, say, 8pm Eastern? If we go 4 hours, that would get us beyond the half-way mark and we could schedule a 2 hr time on evening later in the week.
-
So, you just don't want to draft on your birthday, then?
-
2/9 I am.completely open
-
Is that central time?
-
i wouldnt be available on 2/2 until nighttime, 6 pm or later
-
That'd work for me too.
-
Works for me
-
Groundhog Day, Saturday February 2 sounds great to me. I vote yes.
-
Groundhog day draft?
-
So, if drafts can't be scheduled until after 2/1/19, what are those auction values on the crawler that are dated 12/4/18? I've always assumed the crawler values were from drafts conducted on the date listed on the crawler line. In any case, was glad to see a $48 value for Bryant, don't feel so bad for trading for a $45 Bryant in our original league.

I hear you!
-
I still want HENRY to get some Hill Farmstead
-
The Face Shot white IPA looks interesting
-
I'd be up for arranging a beer trade or two. http://salmonriverbrewery.com/ The Shiver IPA is excellent.
-
Niv is looking into changing the system to allow startup leagues to draft before the keeper deadline. He thought it was a pretty cool idea to draft on New Year's Day.
-
We are finally going to see Hamilton on Valentines Day.
-
Kidding. But I totally would.
-
It appears that the system is set to not allow an auction to begin before 2/1. I say we draft on Valentines Day instead of New years.
-
How about mailing me a growler of something hoppy and 7% plus ?
-
I'm spending my winter working at the Brewpub 100 yards from my house. I totally mention this just to say I could draft New Years Day but not NYE and not to casually bring up I get a free growler fill up per week as a perk.
-
New Years Day works for me as well. And it would likely avoid a 3 or 4 part draft like year 1 of FCA.
-
I agree with Mikey and hitch. Nye is a no-no but the following day is fine.

I'd have a tough time with a New Year's Eve draft, but I'd be all in for a New Year's Day draft.
-
I’m all for a New Years draft, alas I can think of a few married gentlemen in here that would probably suffer brutal and unnecessary ramifications for spending that occasion in that fashion
-
A shit-faced draft would be an epic start to a bizzaro league, and out of total unadulterated self-interest I wouldn't mind be the designated driver at the draft table.
-
Are we granting Home Brew's dream of a New Year's Eve draft?
-
To be serious, this is really cool and I'm excited for this league's season.
-
Nice work, us!
-
It's unbelievable that we could start a new league and have everyone signup at all, let alone so quickly and with no prodding. Impressive!
-
Excellent!
-
I'm here.
-
yeah, I like it. we can use the 48 hour approval period if it's easier, then you have two days to pay any taxes.
-
Requiring that taxes be paid before the trade goes through also defines an enforcement mechanism -- the commissioner rescinds any trade not paid for.
-
Both of those points are why I would prefer that taxes be paid before the trade goes through.
-
The thing about taxing loans based on the finances page is the loans column captures small loans by teams not over the $425 as well as big loans by teams that are.
-
Yeah, the finances page does show loans. It also shows base salary. We could use base salary - $425 as of of September 1st. as the tax basis. That won't capture fluctuations in a team's total salary over the course of the season, but it keeps things simple. However, it does allow a team that is falling short to cut salary aggressively on August 31st. to avoid the tax. That strategy, however returns players to the market that teams with salary can grab.
-
Doesn't the ottoneu finances page keep a running tab of everyone's incoming loans? Easy to use that on September 1st (day after trade window closes) as basis for everyone paying up.
-
Agreed. Option B with the yo-yo tax

Schmegs is the only one not in
-
Mikey's Minions's trade block has been updated!
-
Who hasn't joined the league yet?
-
I don’t think it needs to be that complicated. Instead of looking at salary used, you’d just look at how much space they’ve acquired via incoming loan. It doesn’t matter if they use that space or not, so it doesn’t matter if guys are dropped. It also doesn’t matter If they loan space back away, say late in the season when their bid to compete comes up short - they don’t get any credit back for getting below 425. It’s simply every incoming loan dollar in any trade all year is taxe
-
I like option B too. I agree that yo-yoing wouldn't happen a lot, but I think it will happen. Say a team goes to $450 on a loan. That means a $25 tax. Then they drop an injured player and their salary goes to $440. Then then make another trade with loan that puts them at $460. The yo-yo tax is $20, not $10. This will be easier to track then taxing against high water mark, and adds some extra cost risk for any team that goes over the $425 limit.
-
I vote option B, $425 until June 1. But I vote that at least some of the tax money go to teams 4, 5, and 6 to increase the interest of more teams; I'd also support something to the 7th team as well. I can't imagine we'll get that much tax money, but I'd be ok with some combination of something to incentivize interest among more teams and adding to next year's pot. All that said, I'll go along with the majority.
-
If we're voting, B and $425 till June 1.
