It's been a rough year, but Providence is crushing it.
-
I just noticed that Providence has a 10-point lead. Aviary, are you going to take this lying down?

You need to lead by example, Uptown.
-
That's usually the sign of a healthy league, I like this one no horrible trade offers, on that note Nine lets make a trade.
-
Guys, I would appreciate it if you cut better players. Combing the waiver wire is like shopping at the thrift store, but this league never donates anything good.

Method to the madness...

Ha. That means a lot coming from someone who added and then dropped a player within the span of 40 minutes yesterday!

Personally, I thought it was a great add. Can't believe some fool dropped him :-)
-
Ha! The demon rum and fantasy player moves don't mix. Remember, kids, don't drink and transact! :-)

There's too many relievers named Tyler and Taylor, or Duffey and Pressly. I think I thought I was getting Taylor Rogers but I got Tyler Duffey. (Did I mention the drinks?) It's like Tyler. Taylor. Reliever. Guy.

That's funny, curious who did you think he was?

I had too much to drink and thought Tyler Duffey was somebody else. And now he's on my team.

hahaha, we are all just jealous of your success @Aviary

I feel personally attacked Uptown ;). I believe Empty & I are the only ones to make a case for vote off but are open to switching. As long as we have a committed group of owners who are willing to stick around for another year I am fine making the switch. The problem in the past few years in particular has been that we have had a lot of owner turnover year to year and if the allocation isn't done by all nothing will change. As of now, Mac's Squad is the only one that really appears inact
-
As a new owner, I want to share two thoughts about the vote off situation: 1) we could always try allocation for 1 year, see how it goes and if we want to go back to vote off, we could. 2) The same owner has won this league for like 8 out of 10 years. Maybe there are additional reasons for that besides the vote off system, but I have to believe that changing to allocation would help address that.

What I like about vote off is that it puts more high end players in the auction pool. It keeps a lot of other salaries low, which probably has a lot of negative effects.
I don't have a strong preference either way.
-
I vote yes

We have had a lot of owner turnover throughout the years and the allocation system is best suited to an active league with little turnover. At least with the voting system wildly underpriced guys make it back in the pool and the market corrects itself. That being said, we seem to have picked up more active & long-term owners where 1 or 2 teams not allocating would be less of an issue than 5+.
-
Just out of curiousity, why do you prefer vote off?

I do prefer the vote off, but if everyone else wants the allocation we can make the switch.
Just so it is clear below are the rules for allocation:
You have $25 to allocate across the league. You must add $1 to at least 1 player on every team but you cannot add more than $3 total to any team. You also have to allocate all $25. If you do not add $1 to every team or you do not use all $25, none of your allocations will count.

Not wanting to forget about this, and hearing no dissention... Can we officially switch our offseason arbitration from the Vote-Off to the Allocation system?
-
We did vote on it a few years ago but with all the new faces we have we can certainly have a vote again. Does anyone have objections to switching? If there is no opposition we can skip the vote.
-
Shiiiiiiiit sisbthe draft still active? Sorry guys my 8yo is Covid positive and I'm making all the arrangements for the next 2 weeks if quarantine
-
Draft still paused? I don't want to mess anything up, but we can't offer trades or bid on free agents until it's over.

I'm also a new owner but would be in favor of switching to the arbitration system!
-
I agree with Tulsa on switching away from the vote-off system. As I recall, the alternative is allowing owners to increase the salary of a player on each team, or something along those lines. That would be preferable, in my opinion.
-
I was a "new" owner 3 years ago, and now I only recognize maybe 4 team names from when I joined. The $ allocation system seems much more equitable.

Sorry, I posted all that from the rules and didn't see that Tulsa already answered the question. But yeah, I agree the vote off system is lame. I'd be in favor of scrapping it, but I'm a new guy so I get it if the majority of the league prefers it.

this is from the rules, about Vote Off system: a. The vote-off system gives each team in the league the ability to vote on a player on each other team.
b. The player that receives the most votes collectively on each team is turned into a restricted free agent that can be bid on by other teams during the auction draft.
d. The team they were voted off from will get an automatic $5 discount towards that player, so if they get the player back, they will get the player for $5 under what t

If the previous owner re-buys their voted off player, they get a $5 discount.
FWIW, I greatly prefer the other arbitration method. Any chance we could vote to change that for next offseason? We do have a lot of new owners now.

Can someone remind me about how the vote-off players are handled in auction? I vaguely remember something about a discount for the team who owned them before but I might be thinking of a different league...
-
Thanks Tulsa. I will add you as a co-commish & we should be set.
-
I could probably manage that if nobody else is willing.

Hey guys, so I have a family issue that has come up that will conflict with draft time. I will be travelling and available to participate in but will not be able to oversee the draft. Rather than reschedule I would like to hand off commissioner duties to someone willing. Really all you have to do is start the draft, then if any issues arise be able to pause the draft and put guys back in the player pool if platform issues take place. Please message me or leave a note here if you can do it.
-
Ok. Votes are in and we are set for March 27th at 1PM EST/ 12 noon CST/ 10 AM PST.
-
3 teams have yet to vote, please get your votes in tomorrow. Since we already have a leading contender of March 27th, I will go ahead and say that the draft will NOT be this weekend.
-
Poll is in CST
-
What time zone are those slots in? I'm free every Sunday and after 330 PST on Saturdays
-
Thanks for setting up the poll. This weekend is a hard no-go for me, I will be out of town for spring break vacation. I have another draft the evening of the 28th. Everything else in between (20th, 21st, 27th, earlier on the 28th) should work.

Welcome to our new owners! Sorry for the delay, but I just sent you all a link to the doodle poll to get a draft date nailed down. I started with weekends but if we cannot get a majority vote for a weekend time, then we can expand to the weekdays. Nothing better than watching some march madness while drafting a fantasy baseball team. Please get your votes in by Thursday this week so that if the votes come in for this weekend, people have more than a day to prepare. Link also posted on board
