Having your watchlist full helps alot---good idea with three hours {although I have reservations about finishing the draft in 6 hours!

New this year, if you fail to nominate when its your turn you get taken out of the draft{commish can put u back in} it really slows things down! BE sure to be ready when its your turn!

Did a draft to fill all rosters. The Auction Draft software had problems after the 3 hour mark. I think for our draft, we should limit the first day to 3 hours. Judging by the draft that I was just in, we should be able to easily finish on the second draft day.
-
DRAFT DAY LESS THAN A WEEK AWAY! Please let me know if any body has any concerns.
-
5 X 5 must be popular. I received 2 more emails of guys looking for a league to join.
-
We are starting a fresh dynasty. Most of last year's owners abandoned their teams for reasons unknown. So I claimed a team and we decided to do a redraft to attract new owners. I am new to the league also.
-
Re-drafting this year due to turnover. Most owners here are new.

New guy here.. Looks like I grabbed the last spot. I was just reading over the message board and was looking for some clarity. Are we re-drafting at the end of every year, or are we starting a fresh dynasty due to league turnover?

Welcome to our league Ty. We now have a full league of committed owners. Only two weeks before the 1st part of the draft starts. Good luck to everyone! I think we have a good group.
-
To update our status, we now have 11 owners who have paid for their teams. There is one abandoned team which needs to be claimed and paid for. I anticipate the abandoned team will be claimed quickly.
-
Yes, that is the plan. We are drafting on the 23rd and the 25th, both at 8pm, EST
-
No worries, 23rd works too. Just trying to find a workaround. from what I understand, drafting from scratch takes 6+ hours so we should split it out over 2 days regardless
-
I won't be available to draft on Thurs, the 24th.
-
Would anyone have a problem with starting the auction on the 24th instead of the 23rd? I'm ok with the current date but I have a chance to join a work league that is drafting on the 23rd.
-
We have a new owner for the team "warren K". Welcome to the league.
-
Ok. One of the 3 teams paid and the other quit. Still waiting on the other team to see what they are going to do. If you know anybody interested in joining our league, please let them know. I will advertise. Laurence
-
Thanks for letting us know. Good luck in the future.
-
Sorry, I've decided to quit the league. Lost all of my advantage from my team last year. Good luck.
-
There are still 3 owners who have not paid for their teams. I have sent numerous emails to them. This is the FINAL NOTICE. ! If your team is not paid for by March 8, you will be removed as owner. At that time we will begin searching for three new owners . This should give us enough time to find new owners if needed.
-
I think we should put the payment in advance on hold this year since it was not a stipulation for those joining the league. Let's see how this year goes and we can revisit it after the season is over if we think we need it. I think we have a good group and am expecting a lot of competition.
-
On second thought, paying for 2 years seems a bit much.

Leaguesafe is the BEST way to go! Everything above board, NO payment problems and NO payout issues! The ONLY way to go in IMO!

I understand you guys wanting to make sure people are active and that this is a good league, but I am not on board with having a guy lose 100 dollars if and when he leaves. Lets make this clear, I plan on staying on for a while, but let's face it this league won't be around forever. So, at some point everyone will lose $100!?!? Sometimes a person realizes they just need out and it is in the best interest for everyone for that person to leave. It shouldn't cost them. My two cents.

I wonder if that's something Niv could set up? I have never used LeagueSafe but that could be an option as well?

I'm also in favour of paying for 2 years at once, for what it's worth.
-
We should make a deadline for payment that would give us enough time to find new owners before the draft.
-
What is the deadline for paying the league fee? Hate to see any teams drop out right before the draft, or not show up at all

Warren, all teams have been claimed but not all teams have paid their fees yet. I'll let you know if something opens up.

Sucks for me but I guess you guys are right. What a team I had lol. Do we have room for 1 more to join?

I would think if we force people to pay a year ahead of time, it could force soneone to "ride out a season" if they dont want to be in the league but already paid. I'd rather have people in here that want to be. If a league is competitive, fun, active people will want to stay
-
We will only know after the season starts.
-
Most of the time owners leave is IMO A. They get beat very badly B. They know stars but little else when it comes to bidding C. Most people just are NOT knowledgeable enough to really compete!

I think it is a good idea to pay for next year's league this year in order to keep owners thereby keep the competition strong. However, there may be some owners who may not be able to afford it or have already committed their money to other leagues this year. For those in the league last year, what do you think was the reason for so many owners abandoning their teams after the season?
-
Hate your situation Warren, but your beef is with owners that are no longer in this league. Your old league fell apart. Aces took over as a new Commish and has made very fair decisions to get life back into a league that failed. Most owners are new here and it was a clear majority vote to redraft, And it became that redraft was gonna be the only choice left really. Hate you were victim of a failed league, but it appears to be fixed now. Looks like a good league.

If you want owners to stay--the only real way IS to PAY for next year this year. I am in two leagues that do this and in 6 years we have had two owners leave, when a new owner comes in all he pays for is the next year.

I'm hoping that this is a real competitive league. I'm in a points league and we don't have much turnover. I envision that this league could be the same. Do think there is a difference in turn over between points leagues and this type? If so, is there some kind of special rules we could establish in this league to keep it competitive from year to year.
-
Completely understand where Warren is coming from. But, I wouldn't have joined unless redraft, and I assume same for others. So choice may have been redraft league or no league. But I get it sucks to build a team only to lose it. I don't know if people can afford it, but I'd be willing to put next year's $100 into LeagueSafe now. If everyone did that, I think it would make people less likely to leave and more likely to compete all year since next is already paid for. Just a thought. Thanks.

Sorry that happened to you. So far I think we have a bunch of new guys who want to compete. Hopefully every owner is in for the long haul and won't quit after one year. It seems to me like we have good communication so far.

Did anyone else currently here play last season?

I shouldn't have to lose my entire team and do a redraft which is -EV, since my team easily would have won this pool, because other people were lazy with their teams. I specifically asked in the draft chat last year and was told that this is a commisioner. It's only 100$ for a season, but it is more about the principle of taking a likely 400$ out of my pocket because other people didn't try in the pool.

I can do the draft on this day. Disappointed in the communication last season. I was under the impression that this was a dynasty league and I drafted my team and did adds/drops based on that. Why would I draft Zach Wheeler last year if it wasn't a dynasty, and why would I only draft young guys early in the draft? I get that there are new teams, but this is pretty unfair to lose a team with Kershaw, Greinke, Degrom, Thor, Archer, Donaldson among others when I was told otherwise last year.

Remember it's Eastern time guys. Just a reminder. Look forward to the draft and a fun season. Looks like we will have a strong league. Good luck to all and let the competition begin. Have fun!

It looks like most people can do the Mar 23 and 25 at 8:00 - 11:00 so I will set the draft for those dates and times
-
Thanks for the info Speed. I went to the auction draft in my commissioner tools and found the "manage locked out users link". I'll make sure I know how to use it

23rd and 25th is good for me. Any time. I'm in Memphis, Tennessee.
