Hey guys, I'm Dominic. I am also on the West Coast and would prefer a live auction draft, but I'll go with whatever the group wants.

Welcome glad to have another owner. Looking forward to the season I have three more owners that stated they would be signing up this week.

Hello, everybody. I am Scott, the owner of the Lake Erie FireSurfers. Discovered FanGraphs in the last year, wonder where it had been all my life. :) New to Ottoneu and dynasty league in general. Should be lots of fun and a great intellectual challenge.

Sent messages to all available owners will send another round in case I missed someone

Welcome new owners. Glad to have you, and certainly I am ready to compete. I will be contacted ottoneu this week to see about changing the league from private to public in hopes of filling up quickly so we can begin. If anyone objects or would like to share thoughts and or issues please let me know.

Hey, everyone. Thanks for bringing me aboard. I'm Arik, and I'm the "west coast" owner. I prefer a real live draft too but I'll do whatever works for the league.
-
I'd prefer a standard ottoneu auction if at all possible but am open to couch managers if absolutely necessary.

There is a fangraphs article on it for you all to check out. Sleepers are less likely to be sleepers because it allows everyone to do there homework on all players elected. I'm willing to do it if it makes sense and we all agree. I am recruiting owners as fast as possible so we can begin, and I welcome you all to recruit as well. I think we are all in agreement we want long term owners that are active and competitive. Any feedback on couch managers is welcome.

Ok I personally have never used couch managers but from what gathering we choose a certain amount of players to elect to draft over a period of time. Once a new owner bids on an elected player the time period for more bidding will decrease by an amount we set. I believe desired players will fly off the board whereas other players will last the duration of time. I am reading alot of positive feedback and seems like it would allow owners from all timezones to be able to competitively bid.

I have no objections to letting a west coast team in the league, also if you guys believe that couch managers would make the draft easier and better than i’m totally okay with using it.

It's a free auction site that allows us to draft over multiple days from what I understand. I am looking into it later once I'm out of work. Ive heard it's easy and one of the most enjoyable ways to complete an auction

No objection here. My only criterion is an active owner. I just finished a draft that had an owner in San Francisco and one in London, so it can be done.
-
Also I did get a west coast team who wants in any objections??

I believe it will be a couple days of auction as you said so we should plan for that. If you all want to bring other owners in I have no objection. I am disappointed some of my other league members haven't joined as I thought we would be full by now. My goal would be full by next week so we can vote on draft day and time so we can move along.

Let us know if you need help recruiting owners.
-
Sounds good, 'cause I know it will be increasingly difficult to find a draft time the closer we get to the season. Also, the draft from scratch takes about 6-7 hours, so we might even need two days.
-
Yeah I was waiting on some friends but I'm not waiting anymore I got the itch to start asap. I will be opening IP to public and also putting openings on slack community

The long wait of no baseball is officially over. League will be filling quickly over the next couple weeks then we can vote on days and time for auction.
