League Message Board

February is a really bad month to do drafts. There are players still unsigned, it's early and trades matter determining values. And closers.... way too early in my mind.
-
I think it is going to be pretty difficult to get all 12 team owners to be available at exactly the same time especially as time goes on. I think owners are going to have to be a little flexible on the time. We are looking pretty good for at least Saturday morning on the 3rd to get it started I would think.
-
I appreciate the poll as well for whomever set that up, but hopefully the site doesn't take that long... there was a huge lag when trying to select boxes and weeks.

Sorry guys, Superbowl weekend is horrible for me because I have several people coming in for the weekend as I do for the last decade. I can also do the weekend after the 18th. I couldn't get the poll to pull up after the 18th. -Jason

To those that are filling out the poll: make sure you scroll and put down times for all of the available weekends. I have all weekends in Feb and early March, but you have to scroll over to see them

Alright guys, league is full. This is a doodle poll with a ton of weekend times that we could potentially draft (in four hour increments in case we decide to split over two days). Please fill out and then we can get a time set!

Splitting days (sat and sun) sounds great

I would be on board with the splitting of the days.
-
We could also potentially split the draft (i.e. half on Saturday and half on Sunday)

the otto draft software is kludgy and 1st auction can take a ton of time if owners aren't paying attention or very prepared. I'd rec a couple of weeks min between when we set the date (when the draft tab appears and owners can check it out and start prepping) and hold the auction esp if there are new-to-otto owners.
-
Super bowl Sunday might be tough. The draft is supposed to take 7-8 hours.

I agree! Maybe a early Super Bowl Sunday draft if people are up for it.
-
The sooner the better! Once we fill the league, which will hopefully be in the next few days, we can get a date set. We will likely use a doodle poll or something like it to gauge availabilities. I imagine it will be a weekend in February or March.

Thanks for the invite. Any idea when you're thinking of setting the auction?
