Draft complete, great job guys, just over 2 hours
-
draft will begin promptly at the scheduled time. See you in 30 minutes.
-
The length of the auction depends on how many roster spots need filled. There are approximately 180 spots across 12 team so i would project 2 minutes per spot, of course it goes a lot faster at the end, and some managers fill spots quickly at the open of the auction and leave early which helps the draft go faster also.
-
If I remember rightly, our very first draft lasted about 6 hours, and last years was more like 2 and a half: though there were only 5 or 6 active players in that draft. I'm expecting this draft to last somewhere between those two times....
-
Hi Colonel, I don't think it'll be anywhere near that long. If I remember rightly, when a player gets nominated, there is an initial 30 seconds on a countdown timer: every time another bid is made, the timer resets to 15 seconds if it was below it. I think managers get either 30 seconds or 1 minute to nominate their next player. The Fangraphs 101 video shows the process, bidding starts about 13 minutes in: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZxgR25aJaY

I meant hours
-
Question how long is each player who is being auctioned going to last? The reason I ask is my last draft each auction lasted 12 jours.
-
Aye, I'm looking forward to the draft. It'll be the first time I've drafted without copious pre-prepared spreadsheets, but I only have a few positions to fill and not much money so thought they would be overkill this year. I've caught a few spring training games, but they always lull me into a false sense of how good my team is going to be. I have to keep reminding myself that spring training stats don't matter!
-
looking forward to the draft as well -> probably going to end up watching more of the WBC than spring training. Season can't start soon enough

We are a week and a half away from the draft. Looking forward to the season. Anyone getting into spring training yet?
-
Great, thank you. Everyone is renewed and all cuts have been made. Looks much better this year going into the draft with everything set. Great job, managers. Your commissioner team appreciates the commitment of every team in making the league the best it can be.
-
Sorry for the delay. I have renewed.
-
Colonel Rebels, to be fair to the rest of the managers who all renewed before the deadline as requested, I would like to know when you will renew.
-
Only one team left for renewal
-
All teams have renewed for 2017 except Urban Shockers and Colonel Rebels, both have confirmed via messages this week they are in. It has been requested that all teams renew by the cut deadline.

Reminder to get the cuts in before tomorrow's deadline. Also, there are no trades between the cut deadline and the draft, so plan accordingly.

Send me an offer if you are interested in a lower tier 3 closer package. KRod, Johnson, Kintzler. Decent salaries and will trade for one player that is a fit on my roster.
-
Aberdeen, there is already a deadline on renewing, we have requested everyone to renew before the cut deadline.
-
AUCTION SET: We have 9 of 11 in favor of the March 19 at 11 AM ET.
-
The following 5 teams are not paid up past the end of the 2017 season: Scratch My Ichiro, Colonel Rebels, Hakuna Machado, Urban Shockers, and See Ball Hit Ball Jog Bases. None are expired yet, but please get the renewals in ASAP.

Do we have all teams confirmed and paid up for the coming season? If not, can I suggest a firm timeline be given to those teams that are not so that there is time to get a new owner in place should it come to that. With the keeper deadline fast approaching, time is running out if a new owner is needed.
Cheers,
Matt

Guessing, but looks like the 2 left to vote are Urban Shockers and Hakuna Machado.
-

I appreciate the feedback, but we will use the time that works for the majority. There is very little chance everyone will be available at the same time. I have learned in 20 years of running leagues, not everyone will be happy. Please try to make as many times fit as possible.
-
I can't do weekend daytime unless someone wants to pay for a babysitter
-
there is currently an AM option on the board. right now it appears to be the option of choice
-
I am living in France so an 8 p.m. start will not work for me (that's 2 a.m. local time). I am flexible on dates but would prefer a start time of late morning or early afternoon EST.

Follow the link to select times that would work for you. Please select all the times you could make work, not just the preferred time. It is always hard to get 12 people on the same schedule, this will give us the best chance to make it work for everyone.

DRAFT TIME POLL http://doodle.com/poll/79cik6u6qmimu8t8

Thanks for getting the conversation starting on 2017 draft timing Kenesaw.
Obviously this needs to occur in the 2/1/2017 (day after keeper deadline) -> 4/1/2017 (day before opening day) window. My preference would either be on the March 18th or March 25th weekends. Thoughts?

Hey all - any idea when the draft day is likely to be? I know it's early days at the moment, but because I'm in a different time zone it takes a bit of forward planning for me to be able to make them!
