Let's just plan on 1:30 ET and if China is a couple minutes late, it won't be a big deal. If he makes it before or at 1:30, all the better. Should be fine either way. Thanks for the headsup, China.
-
If POTENTIALLY starting the draft 5 minutes late is SUCH a big deal start it exactly at 1:30. I'll probably be there in time. Jeez.
-
Can we just start the draft 5 mins late? Is there a default or anything if china isn't there at 130? Maybe we should push the official time back 10 mins?

I will not be more than 5 minutes late and hopefully will be logged in with time to spare.
-
Sounds like you he wouldn't be very late, if at all, right? I'd hate for the guy to miss early picks, I don't know what the strategy is over there, but it would suck if he showed up and never got to even bid on Harper, trout, Stanton, strasburg, etc

Or there is a chance of being later, couldn't he just login before class? Wouldn't miss more than a few picks.
-
Given WHIPlash's comment, my vote would be to wait to start until China is able to login...which is to say that, for a yoga instructor, we can be flexible
-
If it helps, I got out of my Sunday evening commitment, so it's no longer a problem for me to start a few mins late or take a break or two

we're not gonna be able to start the draft without all 12 players logged on and in the auction page ottoneu just won't let us
-
It would be no more than 5 and probably wont be needed.
-
I'm the worst... Could you guys give me a few minutes leeway before starting the draft? I'm a yoga instructor and teach a class til 12:15 CT. I should make it in time but on the off chance I get held up, will you just wait a few minutes?
-
Thanks Hughes and whiplash.

Also, fun bags - wil myers is listed as "william myers" - that may be what's causing him not to show up when you search for him

Hughes - keepers will be handled through the allocation process (where you allocate dollars to players, not the vote off system)
-
click on "include minor leaguers" option in the draft page, Myers shows up when i do that
-
I also did a search for them on the draft page with no luck.
-
I have a concern. I was creating a watchlist for the draft and can't find any prospects. For instance, Wil myers is not there amungst many other top prospects. Does that mean there will be no bidding on prospects for he draft?? Wheeler isn't there either.
-
What was the rule we are going to follow for keepers? Are we doing the assignment system or the vote off system?

you can go to the auction page right now and set up a watchlist , the link is below the league menu under "auction draft", the page should then go live when the page starts.
-
What's the deal with the mechanics of the draft? Do we just show up at this site at draft time and then we're able to enter a draft page (like espn or yahoo)? Also, I'm going way at least $20 on quintin berry

Although it sounds like the longer the draft goes, the more likely it is that we can get 5th Inning to go double digits on someone like Quintin Berry (remember, it's a deep league!)...
-
Actually, I think it sounds like everyone will be able to make it (China is getting a sub)...or, at least, no one has indicated his/her inability to make the draft. I am ok with not planning any breaks and taking a short one or two as necessary
-
sorry we're gonna miss someone...please don't schedule any more than 30 minutes of breaks I you were still planning to have breaks. I can barely stay for the whole draft as is, so any long breaks would knock me out at the end, thanks!

No problem.
-
I'll be blunt. It is St. Pattys Day and the longer the day goes the drunker my partner and I will become. Haha, and the last thing I want to do is spend waaaaay to much on Bruce Rondon. Oh, and Go Tigers!
-
So I will just be the bad guy as commish and say it'd probably be easier if you could just get the sub. Hopefully that will work out.
-
It'd be easier to poll the room if we all knew each other, but I feel like it is a tough in a group of strangers for people to be blunt and/or not worry about offending their new-found friends (i.e., potential trade partners).
-
Sorry, I'd like to help you out but that's a pretty long break and I don't want to presume to inconvenience everyone else who has already planned on doing the draft straight through from 1:30 EST if you can get around it by getting a sub.
-
I'd need about an hour and a half. I can get a sub if I have too.
-
This season, and many more....
-
And by the way, to all, welcome, I am glad we were able to fill the league and am looking forward to the season!
-
I don't mind scheduling one or more breaks/pauses, but I'm betting that fifteen or thirty minutes wouldn't be enough time for you to take care of teaching a class. Thoughts, anyone else?
-
Hi China, welcome to the league. We will be doing allocation for the arbitration method, and the plan was just to blaze through the whole draft in one sitting.
-
Hey. Just joined yesterday. I'm just wondering about the arb rules for next year and the logistics for the draft. Are you planning on powering through or might there be a break? I just have to plan. I teach a class at 545 I'll have to find a sub for. Tha
-
Looks like we're full. Awesome legwork, danks.
-
Just here to say hello. I'm gonna be co managing the team with a friend.
-
I am not sure, but I do not believe so. We are up to nine now, so hopefully that will be a moot issue. Would love it if the league filled by the end of this weekend.
-
Can the league go off with less than the maximum number of teams? I mean, that's not ideal but I'd be ok with 10 if that's all we can get, not sure about everyone else

Email sent. If I don't receive a response in the next day or two, I'll try the $100 buy-in commissioners next.
-
Good to know. Admin changed the join league page so we can see commissioner email addresses, so I will try emailing the other points league commishes who don't have full leagues and see if they have any interest in joining in the fun here.
-
FYI - i sent a question the help@ottoneu email, any times listed on the site are EST
Yeah Jeets! on

1:30 pm (EST) it is. When I get a moment tonight, I will reach out to the site administrators and see if any of the other points leagues that aren't full would be interested in consolidating.
-
Just let me know the draft time and I'll make it work.
-
I hope we get enough players! I'll do either allo or arb.
-
At any rate we do have a pretty short time period to find six owners. I've been dangling the hook out to some fellow fantasy players, but not much luck thus far.
-
How 'bout a good old-fashioned compromise at 1:30pmEST
-
I'm ok with allocation. Wouldn't want to start the draft much earlier than 3 EST. 1 or 2 maybe?
-
Would anyone object to starting at 12:30 pm EST rather than three to help with ESTers who don't want to draft until midnight? Let me know if that would be a problem...otherwise, I will change the draft time tomorrow am.
