Sounds good.
-
The slow draft looks good to me. I recommend allowing each manager to nominate 3 players at once starting from the beginning of the draft to get it moving. If we do this, we should start ASAP. We all have 40-man rosters to fill in.
-
I meant less than 8 hours with a nighttime pause of course. But maybe 8 hours straight with no pause is just as good. In any case, I’m down, maybe we can get going today.

We did this couch managers slow draft in another league, and it was very easy. Highly recommend.
-
It sounds good to me. I see we can make it less than 8 hours, could we do 4 or even less? Seems like it wouldn’t be too difficult to check in and place your bids

I just sent a league email with a final proposal of sorts. A slow auction option. Chad Young from Fangraphs and Pitcher List says it's very common and a lot of fun. The email has more info. Take a look and then give me a survey answer. We could get started as early as tomorrow if we're all in: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScUAhFpuhlEUHetXoIDsOkWmysCWMYaxZcZAXthV49-NCMHDw/viewform?usp=sf_link

Can we just call it the 23rd and those that can't make it we find replacements? Is it just one team?

well commish - it's either Marty leaves and we get someone before tomorrow or we stick to the Saturday the 23rd at noon EST time, either is fine with me. I just don't want to delay the league a year

Using shitty truck stop wifi for this. I ABSOLUTELY cannot draft tomorrow night. It's the night of my dynasty draft (league has been going for 17 years). Part of joining this was because I was told this draft would not be on the same night. If the draft is tomorrow, I have to leave the league. Sorry about that, but I was very up front about this in the Discord chat before joining.
-
I agree. I think we should blow this out tomorrow

The 23rd was perfect for me. But I'm really packed otherwise. I could also do tonight or tomorrow night. The rest of the suggested nights, I have drafts or I am traveling and cannot draft. If that means I can't do the league, I'm willing to gove my spot to someone else.
-
OK good to know. any other times unanimously lining up with the 9 so far?

And for a full update: 9/12 surveyed and tomorrow night is the only window with everyone noting that they're available. Maybe we try to do 3 hours tomorrow night and figure out the rest later. Another option is to do live auction as much as we can, and then mark the draft finished and handle the rest through the in-season free agent auction process. You nominate players and there's a 48-hour blind auction for the player. We could have 20+ auctions going at once.
-
9/12 have responded and we have one no on tonight. I'd hate to kick this thing off at a time when somebody will miss the first few hours of the auction. So, unless that person messages me and tells me they actually can make it, I don't want to do that.
-
is tonight looking like a possibility on the results so far?

Ok, everybody. In addition to the public statements here, I've had private messages saying the 23rd is no good. So, Please take a minute and fill out this Google survey. It has a bunch of windows on it. Might need to break this up over multiple nights. Note that the first slot it lists is tonight. Then there are multiple windows tomorrow. We might need to get creative. If we can't make it work, we might just have to punt this to next year. https://forms.gle/3aSVxkatZA2pJfud9

Looks like no auto draft, but you could find a proxy. It's going to be hard to find nights we can all do this, everyone is drafting this week. I have a draft the 17th, cant the 19th, and was looking to enter a Main Even next week. I could tonight but can't imagine everyone can pull that off on this short a notice.

Sorry to be that guy, Im usually pretty flexible. Im in LV from 03.20-03.25. I'm probably not going to want to spend 4-5 hr drafting that day from my room, plus I have a draft 2 pm - 5 pm est that day. Not sure how the auto draft works on this, or if Russell could have a fill in. How bad is it to draft from your phone? I'm free tonight, Sunday 03.17, 03.18-03.20 I'll make whatever time after 5 pm est work. Same for 03.26 + 03.27.

I have done that! I'd call it a sacrifice, but we all know that kind of thing is fun. No kidding, last night I did an auction on my phone while reading Harry Potter to my 10 yr old.

Thanks. Tried google searching for it and couldn't find anything that really helped.

an online polling tool. I will work with Noon EST, ill just draft on my phone while my wife drives home lol

What the hell is a Doodle pool?

Only if the requests get out of hand. Right now it sounds like the current time, while not ideal for everyone, is the best option.

Does it make sense to just set up a Doodle poll?

I have a hard stop right before 3PM CT / 4PM ET. But I'm fine rebuilding my team if my preferences are incompatible with everyone else's.

I have plans till noon EST and a 20 minute drive home

I should be awake by then. Morning beer tastes just as good as afternoon beer.

Can't make everyone happy. Can we all make it work if I push it up half an hour? 10:30 (CT) / 11:30 (ET)?
-
I’m pretty sure it displays our own time zone. I see central time. So let’s just say “two hours earlier than scheduled” rather than have everyone guess what you mean.
