Hey guys, my ESPN home league just cratered and I'm starting fresh with 3 of my friends. It's H2H FGPTS at the $50 tier, so first and second pay out. We're drafting from scratch this year and need 8 others to fill the league. Anyone interested?

Quick reminder, the draft is tomorrow night. See everyone then!
-
I still like the 48, but not a big deal either way. I don't always log in within 24 hours. Would at least want the opportunity to veto a trade if I preferred. It's about impossible to get a trade veto anyway, so no big deal either way.

Hey everyone, just to confirm, the draft is NOT tonight any longer. It's now scheduled for the 7th. ALSO, it looks like there is a new option where we can reduce the trade review period from 48 hours to 24 hours if we so choose. Would everyone rather leave it at 48 hours, or reduce it to 24 hours for the 2019 season?
-
Thanks guys, really appreciate it.
-
Let's keep the March 7 9p EST time. My schedule gets really screwy the following week as my baseball season really gets underway.

It looks like Thursday, March 7th is the other option. I'll reschedule it to that date for now, but if that's an issue for anyone let me know ASAP.
-
Guys, I have a work trip that just got scheduled for Monday. I will be flying to Texas. Hopefully I will be on the ground before draft time, but I also might have to go to dinner with my client before getting back to the room or somewhere to get on my laptop to draft. Do we have another option? Do I need to find a sub to draft for me?
-
In fact, my LAST Otto draft this year is scheduled for 3/4

To be honest, I've had drafts already or will have them in the next week and a half for three of my Otto leagues... and that's not even considering some of my other leagues that have already drafted. Guys get hurt all the time- that just comes with the territory.

Is there any way to push the draft out closer to the start of baseball season? Our draft date is a full month before the season starts (March 28). That's lot of time for guys to get injured in Spring Training for doing nothing on a roster. I don't know about you all, but I would be pretty disheartened if I drafted a guy for $20+ on February 25 and he got hurt for the season before it even started. That's a big hit to take mid-season let alone when it can be avoided altogether.

Ok, in that case let’s shift it to Monday, Feb 25th instead.
-
I totally forgot, I have prior engagements on two of the dates from the poll. Wednesday Feb 27th evening/night and Friday March 4th evening/night.
I apologise for setting myself as available for those two dates.
-
I agree that the draft doesn’t end until everyone has finished. As for your first request, I agree in spirit that everyone needs to nominate on their turn. My concern in enforcement is that I don’t really have any way of knowing if somebody is having genuine connection issues, or just makes a mistake and doesn’t realize it’s their turn (both of which I’ve had myself), versus somebody trying to game the system. I’ll try to pause it, but frankly I’m not sure I can guarantee that ever
-
I also think we should clarify draft doesn't end until all teams have left the draft room. There can be a strategy to be the last one drafting at the end all alone. In the past, there was a situation where an owner had many spots to fill and a different Commish ended the draft saying owner would have to auction through transactions. That owner should be allowed to complete roster at draft. Ottoneu actually states: e. Each owner can leave the auction at any time. Once all 12 owners have left.

I prefer we set some clarification regarding missed nominations before draft. I think we should pause draft and require all owners must nominate a player. Or everyone gets one miss, then done if miss again. Something set beforehand. Seems like every year, in at least one of my leagues, someone conveniently starts having computer issues right before their bid comes up. I do recognize that Ottoneu draft room kinda sucks. Maybe with the price increase, it will be improved. We can hope.

Thanks everyone for participating, let’s go with the evening of Wednesday, Feb 27th for the draft. 9pm EST (6pm PST) work for everyone? Also, everyone please pay your league dues prior to the draft.
-
I can make most draft dates with enough notice. I just have a strong preference for an evening draft and would prefer not to have anything mid-day on the weekends.

Hey everyone, so far we have 8 folks who have filled out the Doodle poll, and we are already down to 0 days everyone can make. If you haven't filled it out, please do so ASAP. If you have filled it out already, PLEASE take one more look at your availability and be as flexible as possible in seeing if there are any other dates/time that you can add to make work? Thanks!

Hey everyone, I put together a Doodle poll to get everyone's draft availability. Please fill it out as soon as possible, as the first dates listed are this Saturday I think. Please be as flexible as possible! https://doodle.com/poll/36sbxirm4gfecymt

Welcome!

Awesome! Welcome to the league.

Hi new owners! I would like you new owners to PM me with your round of penalty-free cuts so we can move forward. Once we get the league filled, we'll try to hammer out a draft date.

Hey Everyone, just took over Cleveland Spiders, I'm coming over from Bob Lawball's Law Ball with a couple of other owners here. I'll give Commish a list of players I'd like to cut ASAP. Glad to be here.
-
Maybe at least $5. I just know it probably sucks being on a competitive team in one league and taking over a less competitive one that you can’t make trades on in another league.
-
Hi everybody! Happy to be here. I'll be changing the team name to Declinometers.

Welcome new Expos owner as well!

I'm cool with Acuna getting cuts. If it happens again, Acuna should receive a punishment of 20 lashings with a wet noodle. I also want to be patient and keep league going. I will make efforts to recruit also. I'm new here, but it seems to be a good group in the league. I also have no problems with the incentives if needed.

Sure, no worries. Also welcome to the new Fantastic Voyage owner!
-
Acuna has informed me of a valid reason why cuts weren't made in time (hint: polar vortex chaos). I've given Acuna the ability to give me one round of penalty free cuts. As for the vacancies, I sure hope this league is salvageable and I'm more than fine being patient and offering the customary round of penalty free cuts. I'm not sure about the extra incentives, though, even though I think it's clear that the Otto price hike has created massive challenges for leagues.
-
I'm pretty sure the commissioner can adjust player's pricing. I know there are leagues with coupon systems where depending on your finish in the standing you get x number of dollars to take off of player salaries.
-
I think that makes sense. Fantastic Voyage is a pretty solid team for example, but Cleveland on the other hand is fairly weak.
