I don’t disagree with you. I hope that players want to use their nominations. It’s good for the pace of the draft. It’s a dollar bet. If a player knows his/her finances, they should know when to spend at least a dollar.
-
I do wish there were a way to make owners nominate before they can bid on other players. That skipping nominations can be helpful as we get late in the draft. Part of the challenge is trying not to get stuck with a $1 player you don't really want or when to try to call out the $1 player you do want. I think all teams should be required to nominate so they will face that challenge as well.
-
Oh, I just realized you meant 8 on rebids. No problem there. If I can't get it done in 20 hours, I can't complain.
-
I'm cool with the 12 personally. That 8 hours can be tough for me on certain days.
-
I just updated the overnight auctions. Please check your teams to make sure names and salaries have been transferred correctly. The next batch seems to be later tonight. Looking at our auctions right now, we do not seem to be resetting many of the auctions more than 1 or 2 times. What do you think of resetting all new bids at 8 hours? The initial bid will still be 12, but any rebid will be set for 8. Keep using those nominations!
-
Everyone received 1 additional nomination this evening. Use it wisely. (or not)
-
Last thing: if you want to move the auction along a little faster, you can "pass" on any player you do not want to place a bid. If 11 players press the "pass" button (drag your mouse over the name of the player and a "pass" button will be revealed), the player's auction will automatically stop and the player will be assigned to the team with the highest bid at that moment.
-
Quick update: In about 4 hours, I'll be adding one additional nomination per team. This should loosen up the auction a bit. I'll keep the 12/12 auction limit for now. A few of us will have 2 nominations to use. Should be fun! I'll also be updating rosters tonight on the league site. Please double check these adds to make sure that 1. you have the correct player and 2. you have the correct player at the correct salary.
-
Yeah I know that - The black box and bid buttons disappear whenever I try to click on them.. I could send a picture.
-
Once the auction begins, you have a couple of options to place your bid. If you want to increase your bid by $1 over the current bid, click "outbid by $1" next to the list of auctioned players. However, if you to place a max bid, you can insert a dollar amount on the blank box to the far right of the player's name. Enter in your highest possible bid and this will be set as the number that your opponents would have to beat in order to overbid your highest bid. This max bid is obviously
-
I might just be doing it wrong, but for some reason the bid box and buttons disappear whenever I try and put my mouse over them to make a bid... I can figure out how to nominate but not how to bid.
-
A quick instruction-If you want to bid on a player, you have to click the player's name. The site will ask you if you are sure, you can confirm. If you want to put a player in your list of nominations, you can click the Q+ link on the right and your list of favorites will populate on the right hand side.
-
And...the auction...has begun!
-
2-Once your auctioned player has reached a roster, you will receive a new nomination. I will adjust the auction time once we have auctioned 20-30 players. I will update rosters as we move along. I'd like to promise every night. We don't have a lot of players to nominate. I think Daniel and I have the most spots to fill. Most everyone else is 25+. We can problem solve as we move along the auction. Good luck!
-
OK. The auction is full and we are ready to get started. I will start it at 2pm ct. (about 25 mins) Please take a look at your rosters to make sure I have everything set correctly. You will all begin with 1 nomination. Each auction will take a minimum of 12 hours to complete. If anyone bids higher, the auction will reset for another 12 hours. Please, if you know your max bid, submit this early in the bidding process to prevent the back and forth bidding thus resetting the auction each time.
-
My team looks good too. Thanks Rizzo for all your work getting this setup!
-
Alright Sheryl girl, come join us at the slow draft so we can get this party started up. Time for the Slow Ride, Take It Easy....(name that artist/band without looking it up?)
-
My team is correct
-
I assume it would be the same regarding RP
-
@rizzo the C’s issue in our other league is totally fixable. The roster position should just be labeled as Bench/ pitcher. I labeled two positions strictly catcher in accident just because I was mirroring roster construction.
-
I’ll look into roster controls on the auction site. If not, we can adjust as needed via the ottoneu rosters. You can win all the players you want until you get to 40 players. It will be up to us/me to monitor these odd roster maneuvers as they come up. For example, we do not need to roster 2 catchers. It’s doable.
-
I figured you were on top of it. You've nailed it getting everything set up. Nice job man!
-
Yeah. I just requested he be added to the auction. If not, Hot Mess will have 39 spots to fill for the auction.
-
I think Hot Mess is missing Scott Heineman TEX $2. Maybe not found on site but just letting you know.
-
My team is correct
-
I'm cool if we actually do require all teams must draft 5 RP's, but wanted some clarity beforehand.
-
I've got a question. When drafting, it shows 5 RP like Ottoneu has in the starting lineup. Does every team have to draft 5 RP's or can a team draft like 3 RP's instead? And if they do, how will the 2 vacant RP spots turn into bench spots(to draft something other than a RP) on the draft site? I could be mistaken, but I don't think Ottoneu requires all teams draft 5 RP's. I think it's just the 40 player max. Hopefully this makes sense, let me know if not and if someone knows the answer.
-
I'm in
-
For the teams that have joined the auction site, your teams are populated. PLEASE, check your rosters. I double checked everything myself, but I'm certain to have made a few errors. We are waiting for Hot Mess and the Chihuahuas to join the auction. We are hoping they join soon and we can begin our auction. Thanks for the input. I took Uehara off of Margarita's team this afternoon. It only seems fair. In the meantime, check those rosters!
-
No problem
-
No issue here
-
Me neither
-
No problem myself
-
Does anyone have a problem with me taking Uehara off Maragaritaville's roster without penalty before the auction? I don't care. I'd rather do it this way.
-
Thanks for the info Krushers. I fixed it.
-
I can't speak for everyone, but I don't have any problems if we let Margaritaville go ahead and cut Uehara. I didn't even know he was in Japan and kinda hard to predict that. Besides it would make it less confusing at the slow draft as well. Just a thought.
-
To change your team name, scroll to the bottom of the page, and you will see a box titled "Auction Settings." There is a link to "Edit Team Name"
-
Thanks for joining the auction. I'm a high school teacher, so timing for setting rosters will be a little wonky. I can do sporadic work throughout the day, I'll do most of the work after 5 CT.
I did notice Uehara wasn't added. Because he's no longer on an MLB roster, and he has signed with a Japanese team; he isn't available in our auction. Margaritaville this morning informed me he will choose to auction 39/40 players. He can then cut Uehara (if he chooses) post auction.
-
just joined
-
I've joined the draft
-
Margaritaviile is missing Koji Uehara
-
Well damn! I put Aldo Nova as my username on draft site. {Poof} is Aldo Nova. Sorry. Can't figure out how to change it.
-
Got it. Double check your roster and let me know. Thanks for the help.
-
rizzo i have luis urias(SDP) the 2b/ss - not julio urias(LAD) sp/rp
-
Sorry. It asked for a password. I probably could have avoided it, but it sounded dumb enough for me to try. The password is "Baseball". I'm updating rosters right now. Daniel's is ready to go. Please double check for accuracy.
-
just register. then on right side of screen you'll see Join typed in red - you'll see rizzorectors name etc. click on join. It asks for password. Enter Baseball
-
is there a password on the couchmanagers site??
-
I registered on couch managers! Good to go for slow draft Looking forward to a full year with this team and a few less self inflicted hiccups along the way :)
-
Hello Everyone, My name is Daniel- I am ready to rock. I am already signed up for the slow draft and I am ready to make unreasonable bids on anything Seattle Mariner, so lets do this.
-
You will need to sign up to couch managers (it's free). The password for our league is "Baseball" (yeah, I'm breaking the password challenge). Sign your team in as close to the approx. name of your team so that I can assign you players. Assigning players will take me a bit...maybe a day. Hopefully we are ready to go by Friday.
