Hey I have another Ottoneu league (already established) that had a bunch (5) of owners drop out. Would anybody be interested in a $20 league? Last year's championship team is available for instance so not just crappy teams. We just don't want the league to fold lol.
-
Thanks for the responses regarding the draft. The plan is to have a slow draft, which I hope to set up within the next couple of days. I'll follow up after with the start date. Thanks!

I'm in support of a slow draft.

I appreciate the responses regarding the draft. As of now, it's looking like it will be a slow draft, but would like to hear from a few others. If we do a slow draft, the next topic up for discussion will be when it should start. Thanks!

Like the sound of a slow auction. I'm in.

Really like the sound of a slow auction as well!

Slow auction sounds fine. If you need any help just let me know.
-
I would prefer March 5. I have a week long business trip before the proposed Feb 27 date. Probably coming home late on the 26th.
-
I’d prefer a slow draft because I work about 50 hours per week, and sundays can be very full with family stuff and kid stuff. But I’ll make whatever work
-
I am down to do a slow auction. Never gotten to do one before! Especially if it means we get to start a bit earlier and work on it over a few weeks.
-
...The slow draft should take 2-3 weeks (I'm guessing). I'm looking for a co-commish who can assist with the league and if necessary with the draft (if we do a slow draft) and importing the rosters. Send me a PM if you would like to take on that role. Thanks!

...strongly suggested first year leagues with some new players use CMs. I trust his opinions and suggestions. He also suggested each owner be allowed two nominations, 12 hour auctions with 8 hour extensions. Those can be adjusted as we move along in the draft. This is merely a suggestion, so please let me know what you think. This may also help because of our different time zones and obligations not related to fantasy baseball. If we choose this option, we can get started anytime we all agree.

Hey Guys. My apologies for the numerous messages, especially regarding the draft. Although I suggested a live draft, the more I think about, I would like to get your thoughts on doing a slow draft. Otto has a partnership with Couch Managers. Once the draft is over, I simply import the rosters. I'm in a league that uses CMs and it's not a bad option. The interface looks dated, but that's not a big deal. The commish of that league is a veteran Otto player and he...

Anywhere along the lines of 1pm - 11pm pst is good for me. I can wake up a bit early to meet with the draft! I would preferably like drafting on saturday since that would mean I would draft in the sunday morning, but sunday would be fine also.

I work Sundays so the earliest I can draft those days is probably 2:00.

Feb. 27 I am free until 5pm pacific time. March 5 I can make open all day.

Hey everyone. With this being a new league, the draft will take longer than it will in future years. To avoid a long draft day, we may need to have two sessions. Based on some comments below, I think the earliest to have the draft would be February 27th and if necessary, the following weekend. Or we can wait and have the draft start March 5th. Either way, we can complete the draft March 5th or March 6th. Because of different time zones, I would like to start at 12pm (PST). Thoughts?

Thanks for the information regarding your usernames on Slack. I was able to invite a few, but was not able to add a couple others. You'll need to go to this link as ask to join the Otto Slack channel. Once that's been done, I should be able to add you to our private channel. Let me know if you have any issues. Thanks!

@Hey Nelson - I understand having the our league chat on Discord, but because Otto Neu's community is on Slack, I would prefer to have it there.
As for the draft, I would like to have a live draft rather than a slow one. The option for a slow draft is the site couchmanagers, but having been in a league that used that option, the live draft in my opinion is much better.

Tech semi-illiterate here. I don't have slack for any other purpose. how do I join the ottoneu community on slack? the link you posted doesn't seem to work for me. appears to be a dead link? I created a free account on slack.com, but not sure how to connect. Appreciate any help. Thanks.

Or discord? I'm already on there and it would be more convenient, but obviously I'm good with whatever the majority prefers. Also, will this be a slow draft? Excited to get things rolling soon!

If you're not familiar with Slack, there is an app as well as a desktop version. I may set up a private channel on Slack for our league. I'll let you know if I do. In addition to our league message board and private messages, Slack is another great way to communicate with our league mates.
Looking forward to interacting and getting to know all of you.
Thanks for joining the Boys of Summer.

I will follow-up later today or this week with some proposed draft dates and times. I'm not sure which time zones you all are in, but the Fortuneville Magnets is in South Korea. With this being a new league, the draft will take "several" hours to complete. As I previously mentioned, we may have to do the draft over two days.

For the draft, if we keep the 27th, can we not do it too late? It is my birthday and have reservations for dinner out. I am in pacific time zone
-
Sweet! Looking forward to it. What do y'all think about the draft date? I left a comment earlier and someone else said no earlier than Feb. 25th would work for him. I would just prefer later on the 27th if we keep it to that day.
-
Hey everyone. We are full and the draft room is now available for you to review and to get familiar with. The "Auction Draft" tab is near the top of this page. If you want, you can now add players to your Watchlist via the draft room page or by visiting the "Players" tab at the top of this page. Simply click the star next to the players name.
The draft selection for each team is on a timer, so you may want to become familiar with the draft page.

We now have 10 spots filled. Two others have expressed interest and a couple others in line if necessary. Once we get to 12 (hopefully this week), we work on setting a draft date or dates. Thanks for your patience.

Just a heads up that I'm traveling that whole week before, so I'm strongly in favor or draft not happening any sooner than the evening of the 25th. Given the amount of time before the season starts, if that weekend isn't good for people, I'd be in favor of pushing it a little later as opposed to earlier. Just my two cents.

Hey CB...Great question and one I think we will have a better answer to once we get three more players. It may also depend on time zones. I'm also open to having the draft prior to that weekend. With several new members to Otto, it might be a good idea to take our time to draft; at least at the beginning.

Hey question about the draft date. My wife and I are expecting our first and we have a baby shower planned for the 26th and will have family in town and such. Would we be able to push the start time of the draft to that evening and maybe do half that night and half the next night?

Some of you may already belong to the Otto Neu community on Slack, but if not, follow this link and make a request to join: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/ottoneu-on-slack/5774/269
The Slack channel has a lot of great information related to Otto Neu and there are a variety of channels to join within the Otto Slack community. I highly recommend it.

Hey everyone. Thanks for joining The Boys of Summer Otto Neu league. I have the draft set for February 27th, but if you want, we can break the draft into two days. With this being a first year draft, it will more than likely take several hours. I'm up for what the group wants.
Otto Neu has a Slack channel which is very informative and is all things Otto. Be on the lookout for an email with an invite. It's not required, but you can learn from many others in the Otto communit
