2 hours doesn't even seem that long for an auction
-
I would say that sketchy is a nice word, not acceptable
-
Agreed 👍

Last reminder: Draft is TONIGHT at 9 et!
Sidenote… in one of my other leagues the commissioner abruptly decided to end the draft prematurely because it had been going on for 2 hours, so we should handle everything else through FA bids. (He coincidentally was out of money when he decided this). IMO, that was super sketchy; just wanted to make sure we’re all on the same page going in that we will keep the draft open until rosters are all full or decides to leave.
-
Ope, yes , FRIDAY at 9 et! Thanks for catching that
-
Wouldn’t it be Friday not Thursday?

Great , thanks all — set it for Friday March 8 at 9p

Works for me!
-
I’m ok with later too
-
That works the later the better, I’m out west so 5pm is a little early
-
fine by me

That works for me — @all, any objections to moving back an hour?
-
Any chance you could move the draft start time to 9 pm Eastern? I might be able to make it for the second hour that way. If you start at 8 pm EST, I'll have to miss the whole thing.

Not new to Ottoneu but also new to this league, welcome aboard

Hello! I'm also new to Ottoneu and claimed (and renamed) the Tulsa Trolley Dodgers this morning.

Welcome to the league— we now have all 12 managers set! The next-most popular time for the draft was Fri Mar 8 @ 8p ET. I’ll go ahead and move it there to give everyone a chance to settle in, unless there’s widespread change in availability.
-
Thanks for joining and welcome.

Hey guys! New to league and first time playing Ottoneu. Looking forward to it!
-
There were a couple other thurs/fri nights that had similar availability, so we can push it back a week or 2. I’ll check the poll and put a new date out there tomorrow. In the meantime if anyone knows someone that might be interested in trying ottoneu…
-
Given that we still have two openings are we going to consider moving draft to later so those teams are picked up before draft?

I guess I'll have a better reason than normal for sucking this year. But I get it. Can't please all the people all the time.

Now just have to hope the two open spots in the league fill up

The least unpopular date for the draft is Thurs 2/29 at 9p ET— so that’s the one we’ll roll with. Sincerely sorry for the 2 people that doesn’t work for; there were at least 2 people that couldn’t make every option so I just went with the one that was more preferred for the most people.
-
Thanks I think I’m good now lol
-
Yes— Bobby Cox team— it’s a bit of a long story (thread below if you’re interested) but we extended PF cuts until tonight at 8p. However, if you don’t do it all at once, I need to go in and manually reset them for you— so if you have more cuts to do it will be easiest if you do them all at once. I’m resetting yours now, assuming you’re asking cus you want to do more
-
I almost certainly can't do the March 3rd option. If we go with that date I can probably find someone who will draft for me.

Bonus time? So if I cut anyone else today it’s still penalty free?
-
Reminder that tomorrow is the last day for the bonus time for cuts! Planning to turn them off for everyone at about 8p ET so be sure to finish up before then
-
Awesome, thanks-- yeah I'm definitely the same way and would prefer evenings. I'm surprised that the noon slot is what's looking better for people but if that's what works best for the most people, I'll roll with it.
-
I would definitely prefer the evening option if possible, just doesn't interfere with family time, but I'll make sure to make it work obviously either way
-
Update on draft scheduling: I put out 8 options, but so far at least 2 people have said they can't make each date offered (it's different people for each date). Right now Sunday March 3rd at noon ET seems to be the least-bad option, Feb 29 at 9p was close. If you said "no" on one of those dates and have any way to move things around, it would be greatly appreciated.
-
Welcome! Let me know if any questions or anything. We have a poll open for draft date so please fill that out when you get a chance

Claimed a team from the open claim team forums. I play in another league and have been enjoying Ottoneu more than traditional fantasy I've played. Been playing fantasy baseball since about 1999-2000 in the infant Yahoo days.

Got it. Thanks.

@Purple Cactus, I saw you only cut one player, so might not have noticed that the workaround is to turn on the PF cuts the same way that you do for a new owner, where they get “one round.” So I hit the checkbox again for you so that you can make another round. @everyone It will be easiest if you can do them all at once so that I don’t have to keep going in and checking boxes all week, but do lmk if you miss someone and need me to turn it on again for you
-
Just realized my roster is still locked (although I was able to drop Kirk for some reason). Is it showing up differently on your end commish? Or if you are planning on opening it back up later nbd.

Thanks for the flexibility on the cuts date. Sounds good as far as hard deadlines going forward. Excited for another season!

Completed the survey, and remembered that I'm flying back from Houston on the evening of 2/28, and will be out of town from 3/6-3/12. But other than that, pretty open in the evenings.

Yeah, I just threw 3/1 out there as a placeholder as my last unofficial act as assistant vice-commissioner :-D
I'm pretty flexible, as long as the date doesn't confilct with any of my home leagues, but they usually don't start planning until after the Super Bowl, so whatever our consensus is should work.
It would also be nice to fill the abandoned teams before then.

Draft Date/Time Poll: Please be as flexible as you can... coordinating schedules for 12 strangers across 4 time zones is pretty difficult so most of us will inevitably have to move things around to make it work. The sooner you can take the survey, the faster we can lock in a date to make that process easier for everyone--- thanks! https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/QWJY6D3
-
Sounds good, I’m CT and also a dad so later is better for me too. I’ll make a poll
-
My only issue is the time that would be 5pm pst and I have young children, that would be dinner time. Am times or later pm times would be easier for me. Maybe a poll would be best
-
Yeah it was pre-set as that 3/1 date , which actually works ok for me—- but are there certain days of the week that people absolutely can’t do? I’d love to target 8p ET on 2/29, 3/1, 3/7 or 3/8 if one of those work for everyone. Thoughts ? I can make a poll if needed
