I'm finishing up my home league. How do I join?
-
No nominations until everyone joins. I’ll start it as soon as we’re full.
-
Might want to at least get everyone in the draft first.

Going to be back and forth a bit today. Heading to lunch with the GF and then I'll be around briefly before my other draft.
-
I've never done a slow auction either. Kind of excited. I've written up a nuts and bolts information/instruction email to blast out once we're full. We're at 7/12 right now. LETS GOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good solution Russell! My first Ottoneu league and first slow auction!

I’ve only had good experiences with couch managers. Just check your roster after the final import. Sometimes Zac Veen turns into Zach Veen.

I'm reducing it to 2 nominations each to start, just so we can get feet wet. I don't want anybody getting stuck with six $40 player before we really have our heads wrapped around it. The plan is to increase nominations by 1 every 8 hours or so. If we want to finish by the Korea games I can ramp it up really fast. If we only care about domestic opening day, it can be a slower burn. Let's just get it going first and see how the first day goes.
-
Looks like it renders pretty nicely on web mobile.
-
That should work. Glad we were able to come up with something that can make this happen for everyone.
-
9/9 Replies are good with it, so I'm assuming the last 3 wont rock the boat. Here's a link to the league. Click "join" on one of the teams. The password is "Drebin." We'll start rolling as soon as we're full. We're going to start at 3 nominations each and ramp up as we get more comfortable and get the bigger players off the board. https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/?auction_id=871
-
Sounds good.
-
The slow draft looks good to me. I recommend allowing each manager to nominate 3 players at once starting from the beginning of the draft to get it moving. If we do this, we should start ASAP. We all have 40-man rosters to fill in.
-
I meant less than 8 hours with a nighttime pause of course. But maybe 8 hours straight with no pause is just as good. In any case, I’m down, maybe we can get going today.

We did this couch managers slow draft in another league, and it was very easy. Highly recommend.
-
It sounds good to me. I see we can make it less than 8 hours, could we do 4 or even less? Seems like it wouldn’t be too difficult to check in and place your bids

I just sent a league email with a final proposal of sorts. A slow auction option. Chad Young from Fangraphs and Pitcher List says it's very common and a lot of fun. The email has more info. Take a look and then give me a survey answer. We could get started as early as tomorrow if we're all in: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScUAhFpuhlEUHetXoIDsOkWmysCWMYaxZcZAXthV49-NCMHDw/viewform?usp=sf_link

Can we just call it the 23rd and those that can't make it we find replacements? Is it just one team?

well commish - it's either Marty leaves and we get someone before tomorrow or we stick to the Saturday the 23rd at noon EST time, either is fine with me. I just don't want to delay the league a year

Using shitty truck stop wifi for this. I ABSOLUTELY cannot draft tomorrow night. It's the night of my dynasty draft (league has been going for 17 years). Part of joining this was because I was told this draft would not be on the same night. If the draft is tomorrow, I have to leave the league. Sorry about that, but I was very up front about this in the Discord chat before joining.
-
I agree. I think we should blow this out tomorrow

so we're waiting on one more? If it's down to 1 we may need to do this regardless, just my opinion

The 23rd was perfect for me. But I'm really packed otherwise. I could also do tonight or tomorrow night. The rest of the suggested nights, I have drafts or I am traveling and cannot draft. If that means I can't do the league, I'm willing to gove my spot to someone else.
-
OK good to know. any other times unanimously lining up with the 9 so far?

And for a full update: 9/12 surveyed and tomorrow night is the only window with everyone noting that they're available. Maybe we try to do 3 hours tomorrow night and figure out the rest later. Another option is to do live auction as much as we can, and then mark the draft finished and handle the rest through the in-season free agent auction process. You nominate players and there's a 48-hour blind auction for the player. We could have 20+ auctions going at once.
-
9/12 have responded and we have one no on tonight. I'd hate to kick this thing off at a time when somebody will miss the first few hours of the auction. So, unless that person messages me and tells me they actually can make it, I don't want to do that.
-
is tonight looking like a possibility on the results so far?

Ok, everybody. In addition to the public statements here, I've had private messages saying the 23rd is no good. So, Please take a minute and fill out this Google survey. It has a bunch of windows on it. Might need to break this up over multiple nights. Note that the first slot it lists is tonight. Then there are multiple windows tomorrow. We might need to get creative. If we can't make it work, we might just have to punt this to next year. https://forms.gle/3aSVxkatZA2pJfud9
