Does anyone know how the draft works if someone doesn't show up? Will it auto draft like an ESPN draft or something would? Or is their roster empty?
-
Quick note. I removed myself from commissioner until the draft is over. As I'm getting a proxy for both draft days, I don't want to have anything go wrong. I'll be added back as co-commissioner once the drafts are over.

Lucky strikes says you have been added to slack. you will need to create an account now and we can add you to the league page
-
I'll try to help you out Maulers.

I still cannot get onto Slack. I believe I am the last one in the league still unable. I have posted to the beginners page asking Lucky Strikes to invite me but no luck. I do not have any social media accounts (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) so I cannot send him direct message. Could someone send him a message asking to send me an invite. I really want to be an active participant in the league, but am finding it frustrating in terms of getting this Slack account.

Go into draft day 1 with the understanding that it will be 4 hours. Not everyone can finish the draft all in 1 day, so we will need to find proxies for day 2.
-
The rumor is that first year drafts take between 8 and 10 hours. I was thinking that we draft for about 4 hours and then finish the remainder of the draft on day 2. Up for discussion though.
-
How long do we expect to draft on the 19th? Is there any possibility we can finish everything in one day?
-
Does anyone have any questions about anything?
-
This is hilarious, I know I created the league but events have happened & not happened that might jeopardize my draft day 1 status too. :) Regardless, this should be a blast, starting this league which has already been very active is great. I'll definitely need a proxy for Sunday day 2 as all of my friends will be hungover after a wedding we are all in.
-
Ill make it work on the 26th.
-
Sorry, everyone except Stumptown and Sammy Sosa's. Sammy Sosa - I can help you find a proxy. No worries!
-
Draft Day #2 - Looks like Sunday, March 26 at 1:00PM is the date we will hold the second half of our draft. That day works best for everyone except for Stumptown Lagers. I am sure we can find him a proxy though! Really looking forward to this draft!
-
Nice! Good to know, thanks
-
Also, if you have done your research into who you want to target, you can start adding players to your watchlist by clicking the W+ button. I have heard that this is a good way to "pre-rank" your players. These players will then drop off the list as they are drafted.
-
I encourage everyone to click on the Auction Draft tab on the top of our league page. Get familiar with this page, even though we can't do anything in the draft just yet, it will pay off to know where we have to click to nominate a player, bid on players, etc... there is a video that was posted on how the draft works too. I can repost it if anyone needs it.
-
Now that we have draft day 1 set. Let's nail down day 2. Mike (Baby Ruth) has created the poll http://doodle.com/poll/35rzetkhr4cq49qs that 10 managers have taken. Yes, I am only available Monday the 20th, and will be getting a proxy, either a friend or an ottoneu request. The quicker we nail down day 2, we can see what time works best for everyone to start that draft.
-
Thanks everyone for participating in the draft time poll for day 1.
-
It appears that the most popular time for the draft on March 19th is 1:00PM EST. 10 out of the 11 voters voted for 1:00PM. If anyone needs a proxy (stand-in) please let me know and I can try to find one for you.
-
2 owners haven't voted yet. Please vote ASAP. http://doodle.com/poll/uytxxi4mhfivtwg3
-
Maulers, let us know when you get on slack so we can invite you to the league page.
-
You are correct. Don't need to send an email. You either need to direct message him or post on the Ottoneu Beginner Leagues thread requesting access. Direct message works best.
-
Baby ruth will have to correct me if I'm wrong. When you go to community , click on Ottoneu Beginner Leagues and type in this message on the board @LuckyStrikes please add me to slack. When he adds you, we can then add you to our slack team page.
-
I still cannot get on Slack. I have tried and tried. I have followed the community link and tried to connect to Lucky Strikes, but I am not seeing an e-mail for him. Can someone invite me, I would love to join.....
-
So we have 11 of the 12 owners on Slack. Who are we missing? Slack is a great place to discuss trades, talk trash, and discuss baseball in general. It would be great if we could get everyone on slack.

Please respond to poll as soon as possible. Thanks.

Doodle poll to determine the best time on 3/19 to start the draft... http://doodle.com/poll/uytxxi4mhfivtwg3

What is your slack handle Dixie?

I am pretty flexible that weekend. Would be open to an all-day affair, splitting up, or changing times, whatever is best for the collective group..just need a few days notice to plan for it - 2 small kids run my life. I am in Central time zone, for what it's worth. In other news, I'm a little confused about the Slack piece. I'm on Slack, but apparently not able to see the Sultan's (curious, possessive or plural?) of Swat group. All I can see is the #ottoneu feed. Can someone explain how to join?
-
That works for me.
-
Is it possible for someone to invite me to the league group on Slack? @jruby

Sunday that it haha

I have the whole day Saturday open so I am good with either doing it at the set time or it being moved to the evening.

Hi Everyone, I've sent a few messages on Slack, but I didn't realize not everyone is on there yet. Our draft (at least Part 1 of it) is set for Sunday March 19, at 1 pm EST. Would it be possible for everyone to do this later in the day? My optimal start time would be 5. My work schedule changed for that day, so I'm no longer available at 1. Thanks! - Mike Tybursky
-
All right; I'm on Slack but not sure how to get on our league's page. When I click ottoneu.slack.com/messages/sultansofswat/team/ I'm redirected to ottoneu.slack.com/messages/announcements. Am I missing some obvious option to join the group?

We have 9 on Slack as of today and I would hope the remaining 3 can join before the draft.
How to join Slack: You will have to get on the Ottoneu Community (click the community link at the bottom of this page) and then send a message to Lucky Strikes. He will need to invite you to Slack. Once you get the invite, you can set your account up.
-
Thanks for creating the 2nd doodle poll Mike. I'll be in NY March 22nd - 31st for wedding festivities and visiting family and friends. So, my only chance at drafting would be that Monday, but that would be tough to go back to back nights for everyone. I'm hoping I can get a substitute to draft for me that week, but my dependable fantasy drafters are in that same wedding! Ha!

Alright guys. First draft date has been set for 3/19. I am thinking, with people being from different parts of the country and outside of the country, maybe can start the draft at 1:00PM Eastern Time which would be 10:00AM Pacific Time. I would like to at least get through half of the draft on that day. I think everyone agreed that splitting the draft was the best option. I will setup another poll to decide on the next draft date. I want to finish up the draft before 3/26.

Hey everyone- I know not everyone is on Slack yet, here is the poll I created for figuring out what Date(s) work for drafting http://doodle.com/poll/ft3hr66puadzi3qn . I can't do 2 back to back days of drafting so a Sat/Sun won't work for me. I think we are all leaning towards being free on Mar 19th, perhaps we can find another day that week that could work?
-
I'm pretty much good with any draft date/time on the weekends. Splitting into two sessions is probably best, but if we need to do it in one go (or maybe in 1 day, with, say, a break between a morning and afternoon session?) I'd be cool with that too.

I would like to have at least one half if not all of the draft on March 19 at 9 am est. Having that time posted on the league listings was one of the major reasons that I joined this league, as that time worked with my schedule.

I'm on Slack now, but still can't see our team page. I'm a software engineer who uses Slack regularly, so I'm not completely clueless when it comes to this....usually.
-
Hey guys, I agree with splitting the auction draft into two sessions. Maybe a Saturday night and Sunday afternoon consecutively. Just so we can finish it all in one weekend instead of waiting a week in between sessions.
-
Hello all! Seems like splitting draft up seems like the way to go, I would be good with that.
-
Ok. You will have to get on the Ottoneu Community (click the community link at the bottom of this page) and then send a message to Lucky Strikes. He will need to invite you to Slack. Once you get the invite, you can set your account up.

I have the slack app on my phone and I am not having any problems.
