• I likely only have one more person coming at the current moment. We really need to try and find 2 more people. let's see how much peer pressure your friends can take

  Dinger Derby on March 19, 2014 12:23 PM

• I think it would be best for us to set an amount of time for our auction on Sunday then finish Monday. Not just completing our starters because the nominations may not allow that. Let's just plan on four or three hours Sunday and the rest monday

• I'd rather do a complete pre-season auction over two days than fill reserves with in-season free agent auctions. Would like to see all teams establish a full roster before the season starts, if possible. But that's just my vote.

  wRC Digs the Long Ball on March 19, 2014 8:19 AM

• that auction plan works for me as well

  Trolley Dodgers in the Outfield on March 19, 2014 8:09 AM

• Sorry about the double post, no idea why it did that.

  Trolley Dodgers in the Outfield on March 19, 2014 8:09 AM

• To clarify, we could run the auction Sunday until everyone has their starting lineup filled, and then do the standard in season auctions for reserves.

  Trolley Dodgers in the Outfield on March 19, 2014 8:06 AM

• I got one more. Let's keep going almost there.

  Dinger Derby on March 18, 2014 9:28 PM

• works for me

  The Syndicate on March 18, 2014 4:46 PM

• we will then pause for the evening resuming our draft on March 24th at 8pm until finish. If anyone cannot do this let me know ASAP

  Dinger Derby on March 18, 2014 4:38 PM

• Ok here is what we are going to do. We will draft March 23rd @ 8pm until march 24th @ 12:30 am

  Dinger Derby on March 18, 2014 4:37 PM

• I would rather split it over 2 nights as well, but we don't have a ton of time to finish. We are already starting after the season begins.

  Trolley Dodgers in the Outfield on March 18, 2014 4:15 PM

• BTW I just joined today... hoping to get this full!

  The Syndicate on March 18, 2014 4:09 PM

• I would be opposed to that, I'd rather split it over 2 nights if necessary

• See the following: http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/ottoneu-how-to-the-auction-draft/

  Trolley Dodgers in the Outfield on March 18, 2014 4:07 PM

• You definitely can extend the auction over multiple days, I have been in leagues where that has been necessary. Another option would be to run the auction Sunday night to a certain point, and then just run free agent auctions after that.

  Trolley Dodgers in the Outfield on March 18, 2014 4:05 PM

• Could we do enough picks on Sunday night starting at 8p to fill an active roster, and then finish the final 15 spots or so with a second draft sometime next week? Even next week Sunday night starting at 8p? (March 30?) Just an idea.

  wRC Digs the Long Ball on March 18, 2014 3:59 PM

• I basically can't draft before 8p eastern (I'm also on the east coast). I read somewhere, though, that you can run the fangraphs drafts over the course of a couple days.

  wRC Digs the Long Ball on March 18, 2014 3:57 PM

• I think my preference would be 4, then 6 followed by 8. Not a strong preference between 4 and 6 but really rather not be up until 2am drafting again (and u left before everyone was done)

  TreeHouse on March 18, 2014 2:52 PM

• we are sticking with the day of the 23rd, but the hour in which the draft starts is the question.

  Dinger Derby on March 18, 2014 2:48 PM

• My preferences in order: 1,2,3 but I can make it work regardless.

  Trolley Dodgers in the Outfield on March 18, 2014 2:39 PM

• I am on the East Coast, so I would certainly prefer something before 8 on a Sunday. If we are talking Friday or Saturday then I don't have a problem with 8.

  Trolley Dodgers in the Outfield on March 18, 2014 2:38 PM

• if there is no consensus it will stay as it is. again sorry for scrambling but hopefully we can get this tied down.

  Dinger Derby on March 18, 2014 2:38 PM

• Option 1: 4pm draft time Option 2: 6pm draft time Option 3: 8pm draft time (as is current)

  Dinger Derby on March 18, 2014 2:38 PM

• i agree but somewhere along the line someone said they could only do an 8 or later draft. Lets have two options and everyone vote.

  Dinger Derby on March 18, 2014 2:37 PM

• Small suggestion: I had another ottoneu draft last night and it took over 6 hours. Maybe we should start our draft a bit earlier in the day

  TreeHouse on March 18, 2014 12:02 PM

• I found one who's in. We're getting there slowly!

  wRC Digs the Long Ball on March 18, 2014 11:59 AM

• Also, I'm fine with the current draft time, but if you're needing to move it at all to finish before the first games or to entice new owners, I could do this week Wednesday or Friday nights, any time after 8p edt.

  wRC Digs the Long Ball on March 17, 2014 8:06 PM

• I'm trying hard but no luck so far. One maybe. I have one other group of guys that I just invited, so I'll let you know if anything turns up. Glad to hear you two have had greater success!

  wRC Digs the Long Ball on March 17, 2014 8:04 PM

• Found 2 people who 100% want in. How do I invite them?

  TreeHouse on March 17, 2014 7:44 PM

• they just go to ottoneu home page and find our league but if you send me their emails I can specifically invite them

  Dinger Derby on March 17, 2014 3:44 PM

  TreeHouse on March 17, 2014 3:43 PM

• i have 4 people i actually think would join this week, but that still leaves us short 3

  Dinger Derby on March 17, 2014 1:55 PM

• Any updates on more people joining? I've asked a few but we're still far away from being a small league

  TreeHouse on March 17, 2014 1:54 PM

• i have some people ready to join, but please spam anyone. also I just noticed our draft is after the start of the season. the stupid game in australia is the day before our draft, i dont mind missing one game but if you guys do we can reschdule

  Dinger Derby on March 12, 2014 1:41 PM

• I Have also been trying to merge with another similar structured league but still nothing. I am open to you guys recruiting anyone and everyone you know, or also posting on various website and forums.

  Dinger Derby on March 12, 2014 12:34 AM

• I don't know I had more inquiries last week and I have been pounding the message boards. I actually posted in the comments section of a fangraphs article and I am pretty sure that I got a record amount of downvotes.

  Dinger Derby on March 12, 2014 12:33 AM

• Any way to recruit new owners so that this league launches?
