As we get the hang of it, we can reduce timers or increase number of players up for auction at a time. Based on open roster spots, the auction will probably take about a week. I can set everything up early this week and once everyone creates a free account and joins the draft on the couch managers site we can import rosters and set a start date.

The goal is for every team to have a chance to bid on every player and respond if they are outbid, so my recommendation will be to set initial auction timers to 12 hours, with new high bids resetting clock to 4 hours (if the remaining time was less than that when new high bid is entered). We will pause overnight - since we span UK to West Coast US that will probably be something like 10pm to 7am Eastern Time. That gives everyone a chance to check auctions within 4 hours before and after pause.

As a convert to slow drafts I’m excited to set one up for us. It’s essentially the same as a live auction, just with really long timers to accommodate different schedules and time zones. To help things move along faster, multiple players (up to 2 nominations per team) will be up for auction at the same time, and teams can bid on however many they want to win. Some players will be won ‘quickly’ once their initial timers run down, and others may take a few days with high bids resetting clocks.

Jeff - Clase will provide more details, basically everyone nominates a few players and then you have 8 hours to create a "max bid" - think ebay. Clock resets with new bids, kind of like the Free agency process but with multiple players at once. Since it is slow we will have plenty of time to answer questions and get everyone acclimated.
It's not ideal to spring this last minute, but given the scheduling realities I think it is this or a good chunk of the league drafts vi

How does this work.. the link is a faq but does not explain anywhere how a slow draft in auction would actually work.

Alright we are going to move forward with the slow draft, Clase Closed is going to take the lead since he has experience with this. I'll get with him and we will get information out to everyone asap.

I am convinced a slow draft is the best case scenario for our league, I am going to give until tomorrow afternoon in case anyone seriously objects and then we will turn it over to Clase Closed to set up the slow draft. We will make sure everyone is comfortable and understands it.

We have a recommendation to do a slow draft, this would be handled on another site but it it would fix our scheduling issues.
I think this would be a good option, i am going to talk to clase closed about the details and consider it. Please message me ASAP if you are against a slow draft. I dont want to make last minutes changes but i think it would be preferable to having 3-4 teams draft via proxy

I am going to give everyone until the end of the weekend to take the doodle poll and then we will have to select the most popular time, I don't think getting 12/12 on the poll is going to be possible.

It looks like we are have already narrowed it down to the following dates:
3/16 - 3pm central
3/16 - 4pm central
3/17 - 2pm central
Tim W - it looks like none of these dates work for you, can you please double check and make sure none of these could be made to work?
I'll be honest guys we are getting close to just setting the best date and trying to figure out proxies, I've given 34 date/time options so far and some have only selected 3-4 slots

I can understand that, I've got a couple little ones myself. A$$ in the pocket, could you make the 3/13 - 7pm Central work? Matt - would the 7pm work for you?
If we can't make this round go I can fire off a brand new sets of times/dates.

My wife has prior plans so I'm (Jeff) on my own for the kids' bedtime that night - at best my attention would be pretty split and at worst someone might draw a giraffe on the living room wall while I'm overbidding on Clayton Kershaw. I marked available for 7 and 8pm Eastern since one kid will be in bed by then, but those will be an adventure too.

Crawfords - it appears you clicked maybe for one date and did not select any of the others. Do you have any suggestions on what type of day/time would work for you?
So far we have 9 participants and our most common time/date has 6 "yes" votes. Please take a chance to review and make sure if you have something not selected you absolutely can't make it work.
If we can't get closer to a resolution I will just have to start picking dates and working through iss

The only time that won’t work now is March 16 at noon CST. I am retired so unless I have to watch my granddaughter I’m open. Unless my wife decides she wants to head out on a vacation at last minute. Noon March 16 right now is another draft for me in another Otto Neu league I’m in.

I am going to send out a doodle poll early next week to determine draft date/time. In the mean time, please message me if you have any specific requests (for example - after 7 bc I live in the UK, not on Wednesdays because I work, etc.) I'd like to send out a fairly solid set of dates/times.

That is correct, the first line of league description. $50 prize fee gets split between total points and H2H playoff winners. 100% payout I don't keep any rake obviously.

I received a paypal for $20 a few minutes ago, a quick clarification. The $20 renewal is the ottoneu fee, or league prize fee is $50 and I'll collect around draft time. Whoever sent that $20 can send $30 more or hold it until draft time.
Don't forget keepers deadline 1/31!
