Hi All: excited for the draft Wednesday. I wanted to put it out there that initial drafts tend to run pretty long (5-7 hrs). I’m guessing we don’t want to be up until 2am. Any clue when we’d want to have the second part? Friday night? Monday the 24th? Same time? Thanks all.

Alrighty we finally got here! Final draft date and time will be on March 19 starting at 5PM Pacific! Regular season starts on March 28 so we need to get as much done as we can on the 19th so come prepared with your snacks, waters, red bulls (with or without vodka), and cheat sheets. If this is your first time draft in Otto it is a fast paced draft that you need to be tuned into at all times as anyone of your targets could be nominated at anytime. Good luck to all during your prep.

Hi everyone. Trying to get the draft date locked up. Got a few dates that were highly clicked ok. Wednesday March 12 and Wednesday March 19 start at 4PM pacific time. Since this is the majority vote we will proceed with 1 or the other. Please message me on the side if you 100% cannot do either 1 of those dates.
-
Just an update. Appears march 19-21 seems to have the most approvals so far.
-
Hi all. Here is the link to the draft schedule poll. If you could please respond in the next 48 hours so we can game plan. https://doodle.com/group-poll/participate/dy7gDGna

Yep we will get a poll here rocking and rolling in the next few days. Be on the lookout!
-
Two sessions sounds good to me. Weekends would be preferable to me, but weeknights work as well provided they don't stretch past midnight EST. Maybe a Doodle poll would be helpful to plan them?
-
I'm typically up until 2 or 3 in the morning (much to my wife's dismay), so I wouldn't worry about a later start on my end.

I’m on the West Coast and generally work until between somewhere 4 - 6 on weekdays. I know that would be a pretty late start on the East Coast, so weekends might work best for me.

I’m up for anything after noon central time and agree, two sessions would be ideal.

Glad this filled as early as it did. Agree on the initial session starting first week of March. I'm an East Coaster, with Tuesdays and Thursdays currently the only weekdays where I'd need a later start time, but that could change as we get closer.

I’m open to whatever works best for the group. I agree. The draft will need to be split up into two sessions.

Super excited to see the league fill up so quickly! I think either first/second week or second/third week of March makes sense (that being said, I have a child due on the 11th). I would say weekends are better or after business hours if during the week.
-
I vote we aim for the 1st week of March to do the first 3-4 hour session and get the "high" dollar bids done. Then do the 2nd session the 2nd of week of March to allow people to re-strategize based on first session spend and see how the mlb rosters are coming together with final cuts and roster moves. Open to discussion.
-
As for the initial draft. the draft usually takes somewhere around 8 hours and it it pretty grueling as any player can be nominated at anytime. So walking away form your computer for 5 minutes you could miss out on a few potential targets of yours. I have already seen some comments about splitting the draft up into 2 sessions. We just need to find the available times for everyone who could be in different time zones.
-
HI all. League filled! I want to officially welcome you all. This is my 3rd year for Ottoneu and I can say it is the most fun and realistic fantasy site out there. It allows everyone to implement different strategies on how to tackle this salary capped dynasty league. I hope we can keep this league going year over year so that the teams that strategize on youth and prospects have the ability to see there team come to maturity years down the road.
-
Hey Fellas - Happy to be here! Hoping we can potentially do the draft in 2-3 sessions? Weeknights would work best for me but I can be pretty flexible
-
What’s good everyone?? Long time Yahoo user. First time on here.

And during the sessions we can take breaks as needed for people to use the bathroom and refill drinks as this is a very focused can't leave your computer screen type draft style
-
I was going to pose that question once it was filled up. A full draft takes a good 8 hours so I have no problem splitting it up. Also gives some time to restrategize after the first session. Just got to find 2 dates that work for everyone.
-
Getting closer. Are we planning to do this initial draft in one sitting or split it up?

Nice, welcome! It's a ton of fun!
-
First time playing Ottoneu after years on Yahoo, looking forward to it!
-
Excited for the season!
-
Got another, over half way there! Welcome everyone
-
Hmmnnnn. I like the league name... it's cool. How about "WiffleBall WHIP Crawl" or " Phantasy Apathy" or "90 feet DopeSheet"? Something with a little more "pizzaz"?
-
New friend. Yay.
