League Message Board

One other order of business. We need a league name. Half the league has participated in a NL-only league we refer to as the RNC, hence the working title. I was trying to think of something catchy along the theme of tolerating the JR circuit and their hideous unnatural creation, but I've got nothing. One of you wittier bastards come up with something.

ok, sounds good. I may try to get off that shift, just so I don't run the risk of not being able to be around. The rule of thumb is if you need to do something personal while at the station, you will end up running calls the entire time. I will make it work though.

Yes, you are right.....I'm rarely gone for hours at a time, so I shouldn't have a problem on Sunday night. When you say night....any idea of an exact start time?

Alright fellas, based on the feedback I've gotten, looks like our best bet is to schedule the first half Sunday evening the 6th, then the second half Thursday 3/10. I believe that cuts out conflict for all except possibly Erik on the first night. Erik, i conducted half of my first ottoneu draft on my iphone. While its not ideal, that would allow you to participate while on duty unless something's burning down?

Better to avoid the evening / night of the 13th too....also, sorry about the multiple postings...

I cannot do the 7th or 12th, but I can make it work any other weekend days or weekday evenings between 3/1 and 3/20

(2/2)....I can try to get out of my shift for the 9th so I don't run the risk of being on calls all day and not being able to get to this. Looking forward to the season. :)

(1/2) Hey guys. My name is Erik and I am one of the last 2 spots. My buddy Jon is (Channeling Kenny Powers) is the other last spot, and he has done the majority of research on this. We have always played in Standard leagues, and are tired of that format and feel this is much more our style. I wanted to chime in for draft dates, and let you know I am a Firefighter/Paramedic, and am on duty for 24 hours at a time. I am on duty on March 6th, and also the 9th. So the 7th-11th would be good for me.

Ill be on Mountain time from the 9th to 16th, but can likely be in any night sessions those days. If we do go on Sunday the 6th, Id prefer to start somewhat on the later side. Also, Id be available Saturday the 12th if that works for others. Maybe a shorter set on the 9th and 10th and a long session to finish it off on the 12th?
-
We will have 12 teams. Just waiting for the last 2 to sign in. More than 2 guys have expressed interest in the last spot and have been given the password

as long as we set it in advance i can make any draft arrangement work, are we going to try to get 12 teams for the league or are we stopping at 10?

Works for me !

So how about if we go 4-5 hours on Sunday afternoon March 6, then finish up drafting at 7:30 or 8 eastern on March 9 or March 10? Can you get one weeknight off, Zach?

March 7 - 11 is good for me too. From what I remember about my other otto league's inaugural draft, 8 - 10 hours is about right. Sunday's around that week might get tricky. A few of us are in a league drafting Sunday the 13th, and I think there is another group that drafts on the 20th. Is the 6th too early?

Spreading the draft over a couple of nights works best I think. Eight hours is a lot of time to spend all at once.
March 7-11 works for me. Perhaps we could start with a couple of sessions during that week Monday to Friday and then use the Sunday to finish up ?
-
That should have read starting "on a" Sunday afternoon. Obviously I'm not suggesting this one. I don't recall how long auctioning 480 players took, but I think 8 hours is a decent estimate.

Alright guys. Let's start looking at scheduling the draft. I'd prefer to do it on a couple of weeknights 3/7-3/11. On March 13, we put another hour difference between the Raleigh/Phoenix time zones. If any of you new guys are on the west coast, let me know as DST will no longer make a difference. If any of you have 1 night that absolutely won't work, let me know. Also, if everyone would rather knock it out in one marathon session starting Sunday afternoon, pipe up.

For those of you new to Ottoneu feel free to post or email me any questions about the format. Yes, the site is clunky and not real intuitive, but the format is a real nice change of pace from the standard leagues or the RNC. I had to put a draft date into the setup, but obviously that's flexible and we'll decide on one in the spring.
