And I'd need to be co-commissioner.
-
I have a paid couch manager account. I can run a slow draft. I've already run one this year. But everyone needs to be on couch managers to make it work.
-
Sorry to see you go, EOR. We need some decisiveness to get this together before the season. I think we can at least get proxies for the teams that have paid on slack or the forums. If we are slow drafting, we need couch manager accounts and someone with a paid one. Commissioner, what's the plan?
-
It says that I need to reach out to the commish to abandon. How do I do that?
-
Thanks. I really appreciate it. Unfortunately I think I have to bow out. Thank you all for having me and good luck. It's been a tough month and I just dont have the bandwidth sadly.

Hey Antics we're here for you. I know it's not much, practically a stranger to you typing away at his cell phone but just know that I care as a fellow leaguemate & as a married man with children.
Relationships are difficult and seem to be especially difficult in these crazy times. Don't be too hard on yourself and remember to love yourself first (as corny as that sounds). Love you for you and the right one will see that in you. God bless you brother, feel free to messa

Honestly I may need to bow out. How hard would it be to find a replacement? If it's a huge issue, I can stay. I've just had a lot of life stuff come up including a tough break up
-
I don't want to do it, but I've made two drafts at once work before.
-
But if someone else wants to take over antics, thats ok. I have a lot on my plate
-
it depends on time. Ill be busy Friday from 11am PST to 3pm PST
-
Works for me. But we should figure out something with Comfortable and their roster of 45 guys right now before then.
-
I'm OK with it
-
that's 2 days away? can the rest of you all do that?
-
That would good with me
-
I'm in another league w/ comfortable and he's dealing with some health/life stuff. He said he'd get a co-manager signed in today. Can we lock in 3/17? So far one conflict. 2 weeks from opening day.
-
I'm not a big fan of slow drafts unless it's a new league, but it might be the way out this time
-
Hi ho gang! Still on Saigon time over here... wondering what's going to come of this conundrum. On Thursday to Saturday (half a day ahead of EST) I'm auctioning at 6am 3 days n a row @.@
-
What’s happening with Comfortable? His team is 3 players over the maximum. He hasn’t checked in since February 18. He may be comfortable with that decision, but I’m not.
-
To be honest, given the state of this team I think it makes the most sense for the person who drafts it to be the manager for the full season. If we're sticking to the 3/17 date, I can ask around in Slack and the forums to see if there's a replacement manager available—I don't mind eating the $20 registration fee if need be. Sorry again!
-
Sorry to hear you have a conflict, Magnolias. What most leagues I have been in have done is use proxies when conflicts pop up. Life happens sometimes and we are already tight for the start of the year and doing a slow draft. I have use proxies before and it works well. Slack has plenty of willing volunteers.
-
Hi! Unfortunately, I just had a conflict for the 17th pop up since my update last weekend. I'm still free the rest of that week, but it looks like the only other time that works for Trash is the 24th, which is tough for a couple of us -- so I guess it might have to be a slow draft after all?
Sorry about that; I tried to push my 17th conflict off but it just wasn't happening. I'm also down to hand off the team to another manager if need be (as much as I was looking forward to the reb
-
Looking at the posts on the message board, I would like to propose Friday the 17th at 7pm central time for the draft. If anyone has a conflict, please post a response or message me directly.
-
Friday the 17th & 24th 2:30-6PM PST is best I can do. Otherwise I vote slow draft
-
I’m unavailable 12,13, & 14. I will be in Wash DC trying to get a visa to move to Portugal. Other than that, I can make myself available. I would prefer not to do a slow draft if possible. I think the live draft is one of the things that makes this type of league appealing. I really do hope that we can all carve a few hours to make it happen.
-
Well 3/14 is tougher for us, better option is 3/17?
-
We are flexible here, if the following week is any indication, maybe 3/14 is the best day? We'd prefer a live draft over slow if a date can be found.
-
I'm off the week of the 13th so every night is good for me then.
-
Yeah I would second that every weekday after 630 CT would work for me
-
Could we do the week of the 13th? I should be free most anytime then except 6-8 PM on the 18th and 1-4 PM on the 19th.
-
Actually the 20th isn’t possible for me either. Sorry.
-
That’s an awful week for me. I’m only fully free on the 21st. The 20th, 22nd, 23rd and 24th are possible but miserable. I second the request for a slow draft.
-
I have a pretty tight schedule. I'm available the 24th 6PM EST.- 9PM EST. Other than that I'm unavailable. Is it possible to slow draft?
-
Thanks! I'll be unavailable that Friday, Saturday, and (until late afternoon) Sunday, unfortunately, as well as Tuesday the 21st. I can make any other evening work as needed; I'm generally free after 6 PM ET.
-
Hope everyone is doing well and thinking about draft day availability. As a personal choice, I prefer to wait until as late in the preseason as possible. Allows for better planning due to injuries or surprise roster additions. The season starts 3/30. I would like to wait until the week of the 20th. That would give plenty of weeknights and a weekend to schedule a date we can all agree on. If everyone could post in the message board, I will keep everyone updated on a projected date.
-
Welcome, Toadfish! As far as the draft goes, I'm good most days, but M/W I work until 9 ET. Also I'll be traveling next week, 3/8-3/12. Apologies for the inconvenience!
-
Sounds great. I would be free most days Mon - Thurs day after 7pm CST.
-
Welcome, Toadfish! You bring us to a full league! Let's get a draft date set?

Hello All, just took over Yari's Autonomics, super excited to join the league !
-
Welcome Huntsville. You’ve definitely got a hill to climb but there are some decent guys in arbitration and you have plenty of cash to spend. Glad to have you aboard. One more team to fill and we can talk about draft dates.

Welcome, Magnolias!

Morning, all! Just took over for RISPie Treats — looks like I've got a bit of ground to make up but excited to join the league!
-
We had 3 teams that had to be abandoned due to owners not renewing their teams. One of those teams, EOR has been claimed (welcome to the league Boflows). That leaves 2 teams that need to be filled. If anyone has any potential new managers, please let them know we have two available teams. Once we get a full league we can try to nail down a draft day. Also, if anyone missed the cut deadline, I would be be willing, as long as there are no objections to allow one round of cuts ASAP please.
-
Not that our 2023 keepers are locked up, looking forward to what the 2023 season will bring!
I have availability on Thursday & Friday nights. If we can't get a day that works for everyone, have you thought about a slow draft, Monster?
-
Baseball fever being filled means we have a full league now! Should we get a draft day on the books?

Just wanted to update everyone. Diving Ducks has been claimed. If anyone else is contemplating abandoning their team, would really appreciate letting me know sooner than later. Would love to have as much time to get new owners before the keeper deadline. Ultimately, I hope we can keep all owners. I thought we had a nice competitive league and I really enjoyed my first year as commish.
-
Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. Now that Arbitration is complete, we are getting into the time of year when people are deciding if another season as manager is something they want to do. I have abandoned Diving Duck. If you know anyone who is looking for a quality team in a competitive league, it would be a great choice. Keeper deadline is next. Now might be a good time to work trades for those guys that might be on the cut line. Best wishes from The Chief.
-
Rice, Yari, and Fever, make sure to give your input on who to bid on before the deadline!
