Welcome Daryl!

I’d like to extend a very warm welcome to my new co-owner Daryl. Daryl is responsible for introducing me to and guiding me through my first Ottoneu and Scoresheet fantasy seasons. Since then, we have played against each other countless times, and I’m very excited to have him on my side in Screw Cancer!

CONFIRMED (and this time I mean it): our auction will be Tuesday, Feb. 19 at 9 EST.
-
We are still just waiting on one more confirmation for Tuesday, Feb. 19 at 9 EST...
-
Feb. 18 is officially *OUT* as well. It looks like there's a good chance Tuesday, Feb. 19 could work for everybody, just waiting for one final confirmation. Someone would need us to start no earlier than 9 EST on Feb. 19, however, and I'm assuming that time would work for everyone who said they're available Feb. 19...

Feb. 8 is officially *not* going to happen. However, we are circling back on Feb. 18 and 19 with the unavailable owners since we have 10 people available those dates and Feb. 21 is not ideal for Saratoga. Thank you all for your continued patience; we will hopefully have this resolved by the end of the day. In the meantime, if anybody who said they were "in" on the Feb. 18/19 is now "out," please let me know ASAP.

Waiting on a few private messages to come in, but we will either do Feb. 8 at 7:30 EST, or Feb. 21 at 8 EST. Please hold both of those dates for the time being if at all possible.

Last call on Betances for a lower cost player.

Severino and Freeman. All must GO!
-
Given that comment, can we please then keep it on the 8th at 7:30 EST?
-
And wrt proxies, if there is no date/time that works for everybody, then we have to pick the date that works for the most people. If you can't make it, get a proxy. Or better yet, recruit a co-owner who will make a donation to a charity.
-
Some late 2 cents: It's pretty easy to do 2 drafts at the same time (re: Saratoga's conflict on 2/21). Just set up a dual monitor or plug into your TV so there's room for both draft windows and your prep materials.
-
Shopping freeman hard. Tough to keep track of who has money. But please get at me and we’ll start negotiations.

Obviously I would prefer 2/8, and I don't think it's at all unreasonable to ask someone to stay up late on a given night (you know that is the same global time window in which MLB games are typically played, right?), but I'm not gonna raise a stink about it...really it's up to the commissioner.

Haha this is being made way to difficult. I just can’t to the 10th. Already got a draft. Half this league will be done drafting in like 20 minutes anyway
-
Ok
-
Sorry - I don't think it's fair to ask someone else to get a proxy in this case. Everyone has an equal right to draft their team.
-
Guys get proxy’s all the time. That’s what happens when you are in multiple leagues and it sounds like he is good with it.
-
That's not 100% yet though. I think 2/21 would be fine with me, IF it's fine with literally everyone else and we don't have to discuss this further. I can figure something out.

RIght, but then changing the draft date to be more convenient will force an owner to miss the draft. Better for you to draft late than for an owner to miss out.
-
I’m with Oxford. Drafting in the middle of the night sucks. I think the 21st is the best date (though not perfect). That slow draft isn’t looking too bad now huh ? 😜
-
If I had a nickel for every time someone on a different continent than everyone else didn't want to stay up late one night a year...seriously though, it's not that big of a deal to me.

"In that case, changing the date to Feb 21 won't solve that problem." I disagree with you. Since i am flying on the 20th I will still be on East Coast time that day.
I understand we are all compromising here and I appreciate it.

Marquez being shopped HARD
-
In that case, changing the date to Feb 21 won't solve that problem. I would propose a compromise of 7:30 PM on Feb 8 so we can still get 100% participation.
-
Because it's not fair to me to start at 1am, and have to draft between 1am and 4am (or, very optimistically 3am). The draft does matter to me.
Oxford United on

I second that
-
Can I ask why, given our 100% availability on Feb 8, we can't start at 8? Even if we start the draft at 7 PM, the draft will surely still be running at 8 PM as well. It seems like that is still the only day we can get 100% participation.
-
There is also a remote chance the Champs B draft could be changed, so again, if I'm the only one who it's not ideal for, that's fine, I'll figure something out. I won a league last year where someone proxied for me, and the only $250 buy-in league in all of Ottoneu was won by someone who had an emergency and literally no-showed, so I think the draft is something that maybe people make too big of a deal out of. :)

I have another draft (the Champs B draft) on 2/21 at 9:00 PM ET. If I am literally the only person who can't make it, I could have someone proxy for me, or try to do two at the same time. I'm the commissioner of 3 leagues, so I know how hard this stuff is, believe me.

Does Thursday, Feb. 21 at 8:00 p.m. EST *not* work for anyone? Based on the Doodle poll, and a couple of private messages, that should work for everyone unless something has changed. Turns out agreeing on a time when we have owners living across the globe is challenging!
-
February 21st is back in play since Oxford's flight was moved up to Feb. 20th. Mos Eisley was the only one confirmed "out" that day, but he has just agreed to do it as long as it's at 8 EST or later. As long as that still works for everyone, and works for Oxford, that looks like an easier resolution than trying to get multiple people to switch from "no" to "yes" on the 18th or 19th.
-
I can make either of those days work but it would have to be no earlier than 8p EST.
-
OK everyone, we're having a hard time agreeing upon a time that works for everyone on Feb. 8 (not just based on the Doodle results, but based on private messages to me). Would any of those who are listed as unavailable on one/both of Feb. 18 and 19 (David, Anthony, Brendan, Jamie, Andrew) be able to make one/both of those days work? Oxford will be in the U.S., so timing should be easier to manage.
