I corrected the dates in the poll. And I also allowed respondents to go back and edit their replies.

Damnit, you are right. Yes, the dates are meant to be March 26, April 1 and April 2.

Maybe it's because I'm on my phone but the link isn't working for me. Is it working for anyone else? I'll try on my laptop later tonight

I think you confused March and April again. You want Friday April 1 (not 4)...

Ok, new poll is here. Please note, there are six options. For each option, please first select whether the date and time is possible for you. Then please rank the dates/times that do work from first through sixth.
I know this is still two or three weeks away, but please try to submit answers quickly...I don't want these dates and times to evaporate as we all make plans. Thanks!

I’m good any time on the 19th or 20th. Whatever works best for everyone else.

My travel days for our vacation are March 25 and April 3. For weekends before Opening Day, that leaves us March 26, April 1 or April 2. I will send out another poll for those three days.

So, of course, right as we move the draft baseball comes back!! But now our draft is after the start of the year. What are we wanting to do?

Weekdays/weeknights are a hard no for me. Let’s leave it on March 19 (or 20 if needed)
-
Yes, March 19. Ok. Well, it might be the only weekend that works. Can we schedule for a weekday? It is feeling like I need to send another poll. How about this, in general, would a weekday at 5pm EST work for people? And then, specifically, how about Monday, March 21 at 5pm EST? If the 21st is a no-go, I will send another poll. Sorry, everyone! I actually believed them when they said April 14 would be the earliest Opening Day, should have recognized it as the public pressure it really was.

I'll assume you meant March 19. I'm going camping that weekend (I didn't pick the date so I can't change it). If that is really the only weekend to do it, I can drive to a wifi spot. Earlier in the day might be better.

Ok, let's try for our original date, March 19, but earlier. LAGamer reminds me that we "Spring Ahead" this weekend, so the time difference is only 5 hours moving forward. So...would either 4pm or 5pm EST work for everyone on the 19th?

In appreciation for our league mate in Spain, I propose Sunday, March 20 at noon EST for our auction. Our original time, 9 EST, is 3 am for LAGamer. Please let me know ASAP whether March 20 works. All my other league boards are lighting up, trying to schedule auctions.

Monongahela just informed me that April 7 is now Opening Day, and that appears true. So...sh*t. We can revert to the previous draft day, though that might not be a good fit for our new manager. I really hate MLB right now.

Thanks. My confidence in an upcoming deal made me willing to grab another team. Also love the fact that the draft is at a Europe-friendly time (6 pm), as I am in Spain. Looking forward to the league.

Maybe I am naive, but I expect a deal in time to preserve April 15, the 75th Anniversary of Jackie Robinson integrating MLB. I think MLB might even view an April 15 Opening Day as a marketing "win".

Auction date officially changed to Sunday, April 10 at noon EST. News today is that the earliest Opening Day would be is April 14.

Auction update: Sunday, April 10, Noon EST is currently our best fit. I will wait a few more days for the labor negotiations to continue, on the off chance that it is resolved and that MLB then decides to begin the season April 8, or something crazy that would jeopardize the April 10 date.

I created an online poll to track our preferences for the league auction. Please complete it, and hopefully a consensus date appears. The poll is ranked choice, and all proposed times are EST.

I’m good for whenever. I never thought I would say this, especially after their previous disasters (you think all parties would have learned something by now), but baseball is really pissing me off.
-
April 10 is fine. Fine with staying on March 19 as well.
-
April 10 works for me.
-
I would not be able to draft on April 10 unless we're done by like 3 pm central.
-
April 10 is fine with me. Anyone have a schedule conflict? I will wait until Tuesday morning before making the change official.

Based on responses so far I think the 10th is the current option? I'm good that day I think.

I think the 4th or the 10th would be best for me.

Weekdays starting March 14 don't work for me. Baseball season (coaching) and tryouts/practices will all be at night until the snow melts

Wedding in the 2nd so that is a no. Rest of the weekend should be fine.

I missed that news. Ugh. I am fine with moving the draft, but April 2 and 3 do not work for me. April 4?

MLB has announced that spring training will start no earlier than March 18. I propose we reschedule the auction by 2 weeks to April 2. Thoughts?

Ok, 19th is good for me. Re: slow auction: I have never participated in one, to be honest, not certain I find it appealing: 12 players on auction at a time; each auction last 24 hours; the bidding works like Ebay, where you are notified when your bid is no longer the highest; bidding time is extended another 24 hours if the top bidder is outbid within the last six hours of the original 24 period.

I am good with the 19th. Hard to find a date that works. I would keep the one that does.
-
I like the idea of moving it but also wouldn't mind it staying as is. One concern I would have with moving it is finding a new time that works with everyone's schedules in what might be limited time.

These are all valid considerations. I think the lockout is here to stay for at least another month. I wouldn’t mind drafting before anything changes, but I understand that others might care to wait.
-
I received a question about the current auction date...now is a good time to revisit the issue. If the lockout continues past March 5, I think we should consider moving the auction date. I know everyone would prefer to draft with free agency, and rosters, as complete as possible; and though it is possible that free agency will move quickly after the lockout, it might be prudent to allow two weeks between the end of the lockout and the draft date. Any thoughts?

There are still a lot of teams available on the 'Claim a team' page. Hopefully when/if the lockout ends people can start to get excited about baseball again and it will fill quickly.

Surprising. That team has some hot commodities.

We still need to fill Ghastly Monsters. If you know someone looking for a team, please have them check out the team. I posted on the message board, but no takers yet.
