Ok I'll add one nomination per person first thing in the morning
-
good with 3
-
I know I am new and all but that's basically 5-0 for the 3's is what I'm hearing. Maybe we can open up tomorrow with 3 noms per unless there is some heavy opposition?
-
3

I’m good with 2 or 3

We're at 12, maybe 13 soon here in over 24 hours. At this pace we'll finish in 14 days, just 4 days prior to season start. Let's have some offseason hot stove. 3 noms per team!
-
I'm good either way

Im fine with 2 or 3
-
It's me. Yes. Let's get the trade blocks open asap. 36 is the same management as 24.
-
Think we're off to a good start here with the slow draft, but thought I'd check in quickly since there was a suggestion in the draft room that we bump it up to 3 nominations per person. Are people (1) bored with the pace and wishing we could add a nom or (2) busy enough tracking 24 concurrent auctions at once and happy to leave as is?
-
*** DRAFT IS UP AND RUNNING ***
Good luck all!
-
The final reminder (#6) got cut off - it just said that if the draft is moving too slowly, I can always add nominations to each manager - we can discuss if it gets to that point, but I'm hoping the pace should be pretty good with 2 each
-
Reminders:
1) Draft sleeps 11pm ET - 7am ET
2) 8 hour clock per nomination, clock resets to 8 hours with every subsequent bid
3) 2 nominations per team, for a max 24 auctions running at once; you get a fresh nomination as soon as any auction you started is completed
4) Be mindful of position eligibility! Ottoneu position eligibility is not identical to Couch Managers - Ottoneu is what matters
5) DO NOT DRAFT OHTANI (SP) - he's already taken
6) If draft
-
Roman Empire's keepers are set and the available player pool should be final on Couch Managers. Check your rosters if you haven't already. I'm going to give everything a last look but I think we should be in good shape.
Thanks for the confirmations. I've heard from everyone except Jobu. We're going to get started at 6pm ET anyway - hopefully we'll see that his nominations have been used at some point this evening. If not, I'll revisit / try to reach him in the morning.
-
No, there is no link back to Ottoneu. I’ll need to import all the drafted players on to Ottoneu rosters at the conclusion of the slow draft. If you want to monitor your roster in real time on Ottoneu, the best way to do it is just to use the Roster Organizer feature and manually input names/salaries as you draft them.

Clarification of my question. Will THIS website be updated (manually) as the bids are won on the OTHER web site

it will adjust your team as you win a bid yes
-
Will the web site be updated as the bids are WON on the draft site ? I’m assuming this can be done ?

I know BBT and Roman Empire are good to go for a 6pm start; can everyone else please confirm here that you’re good with a draft start this evening? Thank you!
-
Alright! Almost there.
Let’s start at 6pm ET tonight. I don’t want to catch anyone off guard by starting mid-workday. With a 6pm ET start, folks will have time to log in at any point this evening. And remember the draft will “sleep” starting at 11pm ET so we’ll still have a minimum 3 hrs to run in the morning on any auctions started right at 6pm ET tonight.
Having issues inputting Roman Empire’s (new owner) keepers from my phone, so I’m going to finalize that from home
-
ok new owner has done his cuts joined couch manager now GC has to update his team and we should be able to start
-
as you can see by the post Horton has a new owner, I messaged him as soon as he took it over to do cuts and join couch managers, that message is so far unread, nothing more I can do at this point.
-
Hey all, going to spend some time reviewing this team tomorrow but it's promising. Eager to catch up with you all
-
fyi Horton has again been abandoned, I put his cuts back..he doesnt want to do a slow draft, I removed the 3/16 draft date which was the problem
-
I cannot thank Big Bong Theory enough for graciously taking over commish duties post-draft! BBT runs another league I'm in that runs like butter, we will be in good hands.
-
So just waiting on new team to join couch managers so we can proceed horton was our commish but he bailed..Generous is running slow draft only..after sliw draft I will be taking over commish duties so things will run smooth from there since we have had two commisioners quit recently.
-
Ok got it, thanks. Yeah we can't do anything until he joins Couch Managers. But if it helps with his schedule, we could start at like 6pm ET? That way the clock runs for 5 hours tonight (until 11pm ET sleep time) but there are another 3 hours tomorrow morning before any players could possibly be awarded to winning bidders.
-
Ive been in contact with him he says he cant draft till tonight or tomorrow, i got him to do cuts he hasnt joined draft yet and i told him we cant proceed till he does , he did say start draft without him but we cant till he joins so lineups and free agents are right
-
As a reminder, the slow draft will use an 8-hour time limit with 8-hour extensions (so the fastest a player could be awarded to a winning bidder is exactly 8 hours after nomination, which would happen if there is no second bidder; otherwise, the clock re-sets to 8 hours with each new bid). Therefore, it's not necessary for people to be available right at the moment the draft starts, you just need to make sure you can log in and make bidding decisions at some point within the first 8 hours.
-
Ok, I'm back and am happy to report that we have some forward progress! 1.5 out of 3 conditions to start the slow draft are now complete, as Jobu is good to go and Mark has made cuts.
Mark, assuming you're still on board with us, please confirm your cuts are complete and then sign up on Couch Managers with the login/password I provided earlier. Once that's done, I'll just need a few minutes to import your roster to Couch Managers and then we can get started.
-
Ok, looks like cuts were made

Things we need to get the slow draft started:
1) New owner (Mark) makes penalty-free cuts and joins on Couch Managers
2) I need to re-enter Mark's roster on Couch Managers (takes 5 mins once I can sit down at my laptop later this afternoon)
3) Need confirmation from Jobu that he is good to go for the draft
-
Guys, I'm unavailable for the next few hours. I have family in town and we're heading out to lunch. Thought I'd just be pressing the "start auction" button at 12pm ET, nominating a couple guys and then heading out...suffice it so say the day is not playing out as expected! Please bear with me.

Nice! Welcome to our new owner, Mark. Mark, as mentioned, please ignore the draft date in the banner on the league page. We are holding a slow draft using Couch Managers. If you are good with this and want to proceed, we just need you to (1) make your round of penalty-free cuts as necessary, (2) join the Couch Managers draft room (link to follow). We originally planned to start our slow draft at 12pm ET today (before chaos ensued!), so we will look to get started as soon as we reasonably can.
-
Any update on new owner ? When is eta ?

Welcome, new owner! Congrats on claiming this already-paid up team with good keepers! Let’s get you up to speed with Commissioners on our slow auction and get rolling today!
-
Hi new owner so you know we are doing a slow draft not on 3/16
-
I agree with the economics point. $138 free for that team is a lot to leave on the table during an auction and would have long term implications for the salary structure of the league.

I can ask someone to draft for him so the team at least has a person behind the draft, even if that person doesn’t take ownership
-
Totally bizarre. Seems like Horton was pissed about the slow draft all along and wanted an excuse to leave. Sorry for you having to deal with it, GC. I’m good waiting or going forward. My question is: can we even input draft results if we have an abandoned team?
