Ooh, can some confirm that?
-
Yes blind auctions. As I understand if you have the winning bid you will get the player for $1 more than the second highest bid.

Are these auctions blind?
-
We've all got to fill out our rosters! Will be interesting...
-
Oh man there is like 3 entire rosters worth of players being auctioned
-
Thanks for getting this started Buhner. We should be able to set rosters around noon (eastern) on Opening Day.
-
Just to clarify, this isn't the regular bidding process with gradually increasing increments ($1, $2, $3). Instead, it is blind in the sense that you don't see how much others bid (and they don't know your bid).
-
Holy emails, Batman. I need to set up an Ottoneu filter...
-
Auction ended.

We've heard from 7, now. But still no word from the commissioner (Buhner). Any ideas?
-
Works for me
-
hey all, waivers is fine by me. i think based on our schedules it works best
-
Also, Felix Stoddeay's came up with the idea, so that makes 5 (and credit goes there for the idea).
-
Okay, that's 3 people in favor of the waiver wire idea. Can we get this thing started, Commish?
-
Time to scrap the draft and hit the waiver wire...
-
I don't think that more than four people showed because, while noon EST yesterday was proposed, it was never agreed upon or confirmed in any way.
-
I agree that if we can't get more than 4 people to show up for a draft that we should end the draft and start the blind auctions. Let's get this going!

So, what do people think. In particular, some input from the commissioner would be appreciated.
-
Under that scenario, all potential pick-ups would need to be initiated by March 26, so rosters are full by March 28.
-
Basically the blind auction works as a waiver wire, with bidding. You try to pick up a player and the league has 48 hours to bid on that player. The highest bidder gets the player.
-
We discussed potential options to salvage the season, it seems that "ending" the draft and opening up blind auctions is the best option (this is how free agents are obtained).
-
For those who couldn't make, the draft was an astounding success. Okay, actually only 4 people showed up and there was no draft because no one with the ability to "unpause" the draft was present.
-
So... the draft is on at the previously stated time (Saturday March 24 at 12PM EDT)?
-
I'll be MIA if it's anytime on Saturday. I could do anytime Sunday.
-
Is it the day or time that doesn't work for people? Opening day is in just 5 days..

Anytime should be good for me...we can also go to the open blind auctions that are available. I'm not certain how it works, but it seems that we don't all need to be available at the same time.
-
Well, three teams can't make it. Other suggestions for time?

working Sat. & Sun. 3/24-25
-
Saturday is out for me as well. Sadly.
-
two things -- 1) I like the attitude, Taco Salad, and 2) glad to have have you Sandmen!
-
won't be able to make the draft saturday. i have a two year. i can draft anytime after 730 cst. but i can win with team i have and picks. i am that good
-
Welcome!
-
hi, I just picked up the Sandmen
-
Sorry guys, I gotta abandon. Wish I didn't have to miss the draft, but nothing I could do. Have fun guys.
-
Have we heard anything from either team that didn't show up for the draft? Wondering if they're abandoned...
-
Well, the draft is where it ended up. I think the best thing we can do is try and pick it up later and see where it ends up. Any attempt to try and fix things will make it worse, so let's just move forward and see what happens. - Josh

I have plenty of money left. What are you talking about :P But we are jobbed by the two teams who didn't show. Values should have went down, but they stayed the same or went up.
-
fpb and buzz you didn't have any money left for most of those players b/c you had already spent all your money.
-
trying not to complain too much but i did ask about the length of the draft before hand and warned you that drafts like this take up to seven hours.
-
the reason so many values was because people overspent. the draft was also set for a specific time and people agreed to that time. that why it is important to be there. you want to see distortion wait to the teams with 400 bucks start bidding.

Hey all, sorry for leaving the draft on such short notice. Sat at 12 EST is good.
-
sorry about the triple post not sure what happened
-
12 Eastern works for me. Hopefully I can get to at least a finish up a starting roster in an hour or so
