• Does it need to be a weekend? I am unavailable all day on the 20th. Could we go for 4-5 hours at night during the week?

  WAR Horse on March 9, 2011 11:06 PM

• My vote would be to begin the draft March 20th

  Kingdome Nachos on March 9, 2011 4:12 PM

• Good point. i think i favor a week early (20th) and then if we need to finish we give ourselves a chance to finish.

  Schumacher Swamp Donkeys on March 9, 2011 1:16 PM

• If we wait until the 26th and we don't plan to finish, aren't we cutting it a little close to opening day?

  Kingdome Nachos on March 9, 2011 11:24 AM

• If we do it on the 26th can we change the length of bidding from 15 seconds to 7 and amount of time to choose player to nominate?

  Schumacher Swamp Donkeys on March 8, 2011 6:37 PM

• I agree that we should hammer it out on the 26th, see how far we get and then figure it out from there.

• I am on board for multiple draft days (if necessary), but as stated earlier I am unavailable on Saturday March 19. :P

  Punxsutawney Whippoorwills on March 8, 2011 2:36 PM

• I like the three weekends idea.

  Schumacher Swamp Donkeys on March 8, 2011 2:13 PM

• Iagree with having rosters full by the 31st but I know that 3 weekends is not possible for some owners. Do you think we could pound it out over 2 days?

  WAR Horse on March 8, 2011 2:02 PM

• I would propose trying to complete the draft incrementally over each of the next three weekends. We could start this Saturday, if that works with everyone. I definitely would prefer to have my full team in tact by the team the season starts on the 31.

  National Security on March 8, 2011 1:59 PM

• With the pause function, maybe we should look to spread out over two weekends. also, we can set a starting roster and look to draft later in the season. thoughts?

• the comment section here is somewhat helpful: http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/index.php/ottoneu-how-to-the-auction-draft/

  Smoke on the Water on March 8, 2011 12:25 PM

• I've read somewhere that we can pause the draft then come back to it whenever we'd like. Maybe one solution could then be to schedule a certain amount of time on the 26th then just see where we're at after that time

  Smoke on the Water on March 8, 2011 12:24 PM

• Larry's Pants, good point. Even six hours per day is too much. Should we look into spreading it out?

  Schumacher Swamp Donkeys on March 7, 2011 11:55 PM

• 26th is OK with me... but yes, we might need to split it up.

  Release the Kraken! on March 7, 2011 11:54 PM

• Hi All. I am ok with 12 or 2 EST. Has anyone read how the earlier drafts went? Were thay able to finish in one day?

  WAR Horse on March 7, 2011 11:42 PM

• I'm fine with the 26th but agree that the auction can't be completed in one day with 40 man rosters so we should plan on this taking multiple days

  Smoke on the Water on March 7, 2011 8:14 PM

• And we have yet to hear from half the teams regarding the 26th. Is there a way to notify everyone without having to copy-and-paste all their e-mail addresses from their team page?

  Punxsutawney Whippoorwills on March 7, 2011 3:37 PM

• Even if we take just two minutes per player and filled just 30 players each (instead of 40), that's 12 hours

  Ripken Rhubarbs 🥊 on March 7, 2011 11:17 AM

• So, the more I think about this, the more I think we're going to have to do a multi-day auction

  Ripken Rhubarbs 🥊 on March 7, 2011 11:16 AM

• Whenever on the 26th works for me too

  Ripken Rhubarbs 🥊 on March 7, 2011 9:00 AM

• Saturday March 26 at 2 EST sounds good to me as well.

  National Security on March 6, 2011 2:01 PM

• Saturday March 26 @ 2 EST works for me.

  Punxsutawney Whippoorwills on March 6, 2011 1:49 PM

• Who is the commissioner?

  Schumacher Swamp Donkeys on March 6, 2011 10:27 AM

• Saturday March 26th @ 2:00 EST, does this work?

  Schumacher Swamp Donkeys on March 6, 2011 10:26 AM

• I would vote for 12:00 EST

  Release the Kraken! on March 5, 2011 2:51 PM

• how about 200 est on 26th

  Schumacher Swamp Donkeys on March 5, 2011 2:03 PM

• Whatever time is good for everyone else is good for me (I am one hour ahead of EST); all I ask is that it not be a Thursday evening or Saturday March 19.

  Punxsutawney Whippoorwills on March 5, 2011 2:03 PM

• I'm on the west coast. Let's please not do it at 7 in the morning PT.

  National Security on March 5, 2011 1:50 PM

• can we pick a time for the 26th? I nominate early, 10:00 am EST

  Schumacher Swamp Donkeys on March 5, 2011 1:59 AM

• I think it's going to take a pretty long time. Auction format - 40 players per 12 rosters.

  Ripken Rhubarbs 🥊 on March 4, 2011 12:15 PM

• Agree, lets set up a time
