6 weeks until opening day. Plenty of time for whatever type of draft we want to do. Still waiting on a couple people to fill out poll.
-
Honestly slow auction on couch tuner is a good idea at this point, this is why it's better to book a date earlier.
-
I picked 16 different dates I’m available.

Alcides is a firefighter, cross fitter and entrepreneur. Seems like everyone here has a life! Congrats everyone. I work, coach high school baseball, play in 6 fantasy leagues and my wife is due with our 2nd child March 7th. But I picked all but the due date to draft. Just wanted to put my brag out there.

Throwing this out there: slow auction?

For 48hrs/wk I’m a full-time firefighter in an extremely busy east coast city, plus my band travel all over the northeast almost every weekend as we’re also extremely booked and we’ll be in Ireland/England the week of 3/18-3/25. I’m trying.
-
I’ve put down a total of 16 days I definitely can draft. I think that’s pretty flexible. I’ve also said that if 3/17 is the only possible day that everyone can do it, then I’ll try and get someone to draft for me (wife), provided it’s at 8pm.

Please fill out if haven't already

Nothing has been decided. I haven't "eliminated" any dates. I'm simply throwing more out there to see if it's possible to get a date that works for everyone.
-
How about everyone just fills out the new poll and we see what happens? As it stands there are 3 dates that work for all 5 who have currently voted

Last time the date worked for 11/12... I don't understand changing it. Nobody is going to be happy. Now to help one person you are just going to screw over another.
-
You eliminated all of the weekends, which are generally the best days for drafting. I picked about 8 days last time, all weekends.
-
Thanks Cary

I'm busy too. However, in this newest pole I selected every date possible except the 4 days I'm traveling and cannot possibly participate in any outside distractions whatsoever. Many of the dates I selected as "good" draft dates I already have conflicts. I will just have to rearrange my schedule just a bit and make the draft a priority. Frankly, if people are too busy to show any (or very minimal) flexibility in their schedule, perhaps they shouldn't be in a fantasy league? Just s

Trying to make a date work for everyone. I've offered up every single day in March.

Alcides, and you do cross fit. Def built different

I see how that could be difficult but I own 6 companies and work 100 hours a week and I still make it happen. I guess I’m just built different

Hey Mark Cuban, if you’re the owner of the company can’t you just do what you want? Just make a new company holiday for draft day. Just an idea. Shark tank.

Where are all the FEB dates? Why are there no weekends? IDK about you guys, but I own five companies, work 80 hours a week and don't have free time during the week.
-
Not yet. New Poll:
https://strawpoll.com/BJnX8oDAOnv
-
Did we finalize a time and date?
-
If I'm the only one holding up 3/17 then just go with it. Can I just please request that the draft start around 8 or 8:30pm? I think I'll be able to get someone to draft for me at that time.
-
I'm also OK with going earlier than usual, if that's when everyone is available.

Don't mind a FEB draft. My personal schedule is more predicable then. March 17th works. Prefer late afternoon/early evening.
-
I'm for considering an early-mid February draft. Yes, there are learnings to be had from spring training. However, no matter what date you pick, it's the same situation for everybody. Lets get something on the calendar. And as I type this, I'm not just picking on our commissioner(s). The WORST part about being a fantasy commissioner is getting the damned draft scheduled.
-
Can we see what availability is for everyone after March 20th before committing to it? Would be bad if we forgo a draft on March 17th that 11 people can attend to do the week after and even less people are available...
-
I like earlier, we have 40 man rosters anyway. I'm down for a FEB draft.
-
It's not looking like any dates in the poll will work. I'm thinking we will just draft after 3/20. Its only 2 games for the Dodgers and Padres that will be missed. The first week matchup runs from 3/20 - 4/7
-
Here are the seven dates I stated on Feb 3 that I can definitely be available: 2/27, 2/28, 2/29, 3/1, 3/6, 3/11, 3/12. I also said I have drafts scheduled on 3/3, 3/4 and 3/6, so you can add those to the list and I’ll do simultaneous drafts if need be. That’s 10 dates. I’ve also been in this league since its inception.
-
11 of 12 can make the evening on Sunday, March 17th (Prestige only dissent). Next highest is 9 of 12 for evening of Sunday, March 10th, then four other options that 8 people can make.

I cannot get to the results page. The first time I voted, I got there AFTER voting. Now the system recognizes my WiFi connection and I get an error message. The site states at the bottom of the page "One vote per IP-Address allowed."

I’m just fucking with you Prestige. But for reals, let’s be a little more flexible please

It's best if you ignore him PW, he thrives off replies

I’ve been here since the inception of this league. I’ve picked an abundance of dates and times that work for me and that’s with my wife’s due date being 3/12. So why don’t you group up and draft at work or give more than 4 options. And trust me, with my profession, I can guarantee staying up late isn’t an issue lol I still think you could get Wendy’s to draft for you

Thank you

Prestige we're trying to make it work for everyone, let it play out and we will find something to make sure all 12 people will be there
-
I made a ton of moves at the end of last season and this offseason to help my team out. Having the draft scheduled at a time I can't make it will hurt. I have no idea if I can find someone to draft for me, and even if I do, we all know how that goes.
-
Reposting this for those who haven't seen as I've added a few dates.

Grow up BF. I've been in this league for 5yrs. This year I happen to be working on those weekends and am completely unable to make the drafts. Just because you can't stay up late on a weeknight doesn't mean you need to be a keyboard dbag.
-
3/12 could work if everyone can commit to a week night
-
You should just see if Wendy’s can draft for you

Bo Fedes, it’s pretty obvious you’ve never played this format before, because there is no auto draft in Ottoneu.
-
3/1 and 3/12 look like they could work for all of us.
-
How about we pick a night we all are available?
-
Better get to work on that draft board then @prestige your auto draft is gonna be busy

You should be able to update/edit your vote in the results page

Your poll app only allows use to vote once.

I've added some more dates if everyone can check them out. Thanks
