If we can’t draft this weekend, I’m out. Weekday auction won’t work for me.

-
seems like theres a few managers looking for leagues in managers wanted. for some reason i cant email them on my computer. if anyone wants to reach out hopefully we can get this filled today
-
yeah we'll reschedule if we can't find a new team before the draft starts
-
Would it make sense to reschedule the draft to ensure that we get this last team?
-
We had another drop. It might have been the new team? I can’t tell.
-
welcome! seems like we have an enthusiastic group. excited for the draft tomorrow
-
Yes. One team dropped after the weekly lineups changed to daily. I just emailed a couple of folks from the top of the "Managers Seeking Leagues" page.
-
Did we lose a team? Dashboard is showing one spot open?
-
Agreed, I joined because I want an intense, higher entry ($100) and daily game with people who are serious baseballphiles.
-
definitely want a daily league for roto
-
Hey guys, somehow I had this league set for Weekly lineups. I just changed it to the standard of daily. Let me know if that is an issue for anyone
-
i don't think you can adjust the clock for the live draft. that's why having your nominations ready and not waiting until the last second to bid really speeds things up. it's easier said than done when you're lost in the draft but if we are all try our best to be cognizant of it we can shave off a lot of time.

Friday at 8pm eastern
-
When is the draft scheduled for? I seem to have missed that part
-
Is there a way to shorten the clock reset on bids during the live draft?

i think pushing until 2am makes sense. certainly some teams will be done by then. if its just a few teams left and they wanna keep going maybe we finish friday night. otherwise it's easy to just finish on ottoneu, avoid the headache of setting up a slow draft. happy to see what people vote on but i think that sounds like the best plan to me! it's usually smart to save a few roster spots to fill later anyway depending on how you've spent your money
-
Please vote below on the current proposal for limiting the live portion of the auction draft to 6-hours (end time of 2a ET):

Welcome Horsham United! We are discussing the very long live auction draft night. I'm coming up with a poll here shortly to vote on how we handle
-
I just joined. It said there is only one spot left so I think I may have just filled the league.
-
Sounds good, thanks for the clarification.

Hey guys, Commish here. A few things:
- It's already going to be a long night so we can't push the draft start time back
- People have inquired before joining about converting to a slow draft and I told them we would push through with a live auction as long as possible. But we should have a limit
- I'll put a vote on a stop time of 2a ET which would be a 6-hour live draft. All remaining players would be up for auction via the standard 48-hour auction process
- All t
-
That sounds great
-
i don't like the idea of 1 hour rebids. maybe 3. 1 hour rebid kinda defats the purpose of a slow draft. but ya i think we can finish it in time regardless. i'd vote to get as much done as we can on friday night. hopefully we get on a role. but i'm easy, just hesitant to start it much later.
-
i believe there's a way to break it up and do it in multiple sittings, or finish with a slow draft like was suggested but it can't be that slow with opening day not far away... if people r ready with their nominations and not bidding with 1 second left it will go considerably faster

from niv
'First year drafts can take from just under six hours to over eight hours to fill out full rosters for each team. However you can end the auction draft early at any point through commissioner tools. Once the auction draft is marked as done, 48-hour auctions and trades become available immediately. Using 48-hr auctions to finish the off-season player acquisition phase is common practice for all leagues, not just first years.'
-
8 hours??
-
ha, i was gonna ask to move it up but i know that might be difficult for people on the west coast, it's going to be a long draft, maybe 8 hours
-
Hey all, any chance we can move the draft back 15-30 minutes? thanks for the consideration
