Currently we are set for 5PM Eastern time on the 20th. The later start times don't work great for me as I'm based in UK so I'm 5 hours ahead of Eastern. I can start a bit later than 5PM Eastern but as thats 10PM my time so I don't want to start too much later than that. I'm happy to push it a bit later than 5PM though if that doesn't work great for you guys.

I'm totally going to need those beginner guides! Thanks for posting. In terms of splitting the auction, it's going to be tough for me, but I'll make it work. I'm going to take the day off of work on 3/20, but 3/21 I have an all day meeting. Currently we were looking at 3/20 at 8pm eastern... if we split it, might I request an hour later start on the second day? So 3/20 at 8pm eastern standard time, as it was, but 3/21 at 9pm eastern standard time?

Haha I like your name too! It was originally Tigers as they've been my main team since the start, but now that he's in sunny Anaheim I'll have to change it to something relevant to my team once we get some players as I often do.

Welcome! I have to ask about your wonderful name...Tigers or Texans-based? Or will I have to wait until draft day to find out? Ha

Hello! This is also my first year in Ottoneu, I've played fantasy for 6 or so years and am looking forward to having a very involved league with a new and interesting format! I'm good for those draft dates as well. -Josh

Hey Y'all, just joined! This is my first year in Ottoneu. I joined a FGPTs league a few weeks ago, and decided I wanted to try it H2H as well. I 'm a 20+ yr Roto guy, with a few years H2H as well. The proposed split draft sounds good to me and I'm clear on 3/20 and 21. Unfamiliar with Slack, I'm down if its a tool that makes communication and such easier. Looking forward to grinding out the season with y'all! ~Astraea (a-stray-ya)

I'm down. Fangraphs recommends spreading out draft as well. Plus, since we're all new, the extra night will help to readjust strategy for rest of draft. "Dang! All my pitchers are over 30???" Etc.
-
question: since brand new auction drafts usually take 7-8 hours, how do people feel about splitting it up into 2 parts, 240 players on 3/20, and 240 players on 3/21? might help to have a breather for more planning and research too

Hi John, yea that sounds great. I think that'd be a pretty handy thing to put in place.

Hi all!
Did you guys want me to set up a Slack workspace for the league? Recently did this in another league, and it's a pretty cool way to keep in touch throughout the year. If so, i can post the invite link here. Also, I'd be sure to add both commissioners as admins; would be nice to have a few different channels. Cheers n Beers, John

I've set the league to have 3 divisions of 4 teams each. Because we are playing with playoffs and wildcard, the top two teams from each division will make it to the playoffs and be seeded according to final standings.
