thanks for being patient with the draft everyone. glad we got through it. double check your rosters and make sure they look ok. there's always a couple issues with uploading from couch managers. i had the wrong jose ferrer for example
-
Rosters are uploaded and we are live! Good luck to everyone this year and thanks for hanging in there thru a difficult draft experience.

I added another roster spot so everyone has 41. This is only for people who don't use one of the predefined roster spots. If you use all of the predetermined positions, DO NOT BID after you have 40 players. If you do, I get to pick any player from your roster I want. J/K, but seriously make sure you only have 40 players. Thank you.

To try to speed up the draft a bit, the auction length of time are set to 10/5 now. Everyone can also nominate 3 players now. Please try to have at least 2 nominated at all times.

Nappy, the screenshot had Fairbanks at 7 hours so I'm leaving at is. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Nappy. bid $5 now, but make your actual bid $5. There's some glitch in the database for players who were being auctioned when it crashed. That will get you to the lead at $5. Then I'll shorten the time to what it was on the last screen shot. BTW, my name's not girls

I think we have a problem Houston. I am showing fairbanks at $1 to someone else but I am pretty sure I nominated and was the high bidder when we went down.

North Stars, I posted in the auction but forgot to post it here. I missed two transactions. We determined you won Miranda for $1 based on 2 screenshots. I added him to your roster. Your team is now complete.

The rosters should all now be accurate. Everyone please double check it. If you think something isn't right post here immediately and I will research it. Fry Guys and I both had screenshots and logs and we were able to piece everything together. I will give everyone 80 minutes to check and confirm their rosters. The auction will restart at 1 p.m. ETZ, Noon CTZ, 10 PTZ.

Restart time is scheduled for 11 ETZ, assuming I wake up in time. Once appropriate, I will provide another update. Just plan to be bidding by the previously mentioned start time. I'll also backup our auction as best I can each day to be safe. Once we get a better idea of where we are it with the draft, we will reassess the time allotments for each nomination to get thru this quickly before they fuck up something else.

$1 Nominated Players in Current Auction
----------------------------
LOWE RIDERS - Max Scherzer
SALMON - Justin Slaten
TRASH CAN - Drake Baldwin
WRONGSIDE - I will end the Finnegan auction and then you please re-nominate him for $1
Please re-nominate them as close to 10 a.m. ETZ as possible tomorrow. I will do the rest.

UPDATE- PLEASE READ - I did what I could last night to update rosters and salaries. I was limited in what I could do because the auction is on a schedule and you aren't supposed to interrupt it. Once the auction starts on Sunday at 10 a.m. ETZ, I will immediately pause it. Then I will try to update the incorrect salaries and finish assigning players to their respective teams. DO NOT NOMINATE ANYONE - TEAMS WITH $1 NOMINATED PLAYERS WILL NEED TO RE-NOMINATE THEM SO I CAN UPDATE THE TINE LEFT

No transactions here are valid until after the entire league rosters are completed from the draft at couch managers. Salmon will end the auction when he sees it.

Are we bidding on ottoneu the rest of the way? Or is the McCarthy auction an accident?

The Couch Managers site is back up. I will restart it at 10 am ETZ tomorrow morning and it will pick up from where it left off before it died the second time. I'll message everyone after the auction have been rolled back. Please check your rosters for accuracy before the auction starts. Thank you

Latest update from Niv regarding Couch Managers.
The hosting company is working on getting the server back up so Mike can start transferring data. They believe they will have an update tomorrow. I’ll update when I have more.

Lol, it am makes sense now. I emailed with Mike, the owner of CM, today. He apologized and he's pretty upset with the web hosting company. It's their issue and they are apparently not savvy enough to fix it. He offered to refund me the extra $5 but I told him to keep it because who knows if he'll be able to recover from this shit show?!? Hopefully this weekend it will be up and running. Fry Guys and I were about to capture screenshots of the auction so we will be able to move forward ASAP.

Haha, I never envisioned all this stuff going down. I might have to change auctions to 2 hours/1 hours on reset just so we can get thru it before it crashes the next time. I'm kidding of course.

I am happy you took the lead on the slow draft Fly! Thanks for that!

It's $5 now, but it's going to be $10 because I have to renew the subscription because of the outages. Shit rolls downhill! LOL. It sounds like it is the website host, truly feel for the guy. I don't care about the cost, I just want it to work like everyone else.

Feel bad for Mr. Couch Manager. He’s just a single guy and this happening to him at the worst time. All
For the $3USD it costs to run the draft lol
-
From the website owner:
It is an issue with the kernel of the new server we are on. The hosting company is trying to fix it as we speak. I'm at the mercy of their team right now. Sorry about this mess.
Translated for non tech savvy persons: We don't know WTF we're doing. We're just trying to fake it until we make it.

I have updated the draft settings to 12 hour auctions with 6 hour resets. If this is an issue for anyone, please LMK before 10 a.m. ETZ tomorrow.

I got the auction times updated. Like everything else with this website, resetting times doesn't work right., The good news is every auction is within 5 minutes of the original time left. Please check the CM site and let me know if you have any concerns. Assuming there are none, we will start it at 10 A.M. ETZ tomorrow morning. Thanks

oh man thanks so much! what a screw up by couch managers during draft season

It's going to require more effort than anticipated to get the auction bank to where it was. I'll try to get it done tonight and Fry Guys is going to help where he can. Auction should resume at 10 am ETZ tomorrow morning.

COUCH MANAGERS IS BACK UP! I have paused the auction until I can revert all the players back to where they were prior to the site going down. I will have FryGuys send me his screenshot, then I will reset all bids accordingly as quickly as possible. Once I have had the opportunity to do so, I will post a message and with the time I plan to restart the auction. I will give a buffer of 2 hours before restarting the auction to give everyone ample time to rejoin it.

I can still see the draft in it's final frozen state on my laptop. Have a screenshot of the current board and was able to copy out the draft results for the 45 players that have auctioned so far. In case the data doesn't transfer to the new server, we should be able to put the pieces together to get back to where we were one way or another.

It sounds like Mike is working closely with his hosting company to get everything back up. They have data as of yesterday when the downtime started, and the main problem has been that the new beefier server he moved to failed immediately. His hosting company is on it and hopefully we’ll see a positive update soon.

I can undo all auctions changes so once available, I'll update our draft to match Sunday morning at 7 am. Please, for the love of God, once the auction is live, DO NOT BID OR NOMINATE ANYONE UNTIL I'VE POSTED THAT WE'RE G2G.

oh man! im not sure if anyone else has been tracking the picks but i do have it up until friday afternoon...

Some not so good news: Update from Ottoneu Slack: "They apparently have not been able to finish or correct the server upgrade issue yet. Site is still down, and Mike is not responding to emails, but that could be tied to the email being tied to the server/site. You probably want to start discussing potential alternative options with your league if it's not back up by the end of the day. It's a bigger issue if he can't (or decides it's not worth the cost to) fix this."
-
Good news
-
I emailed them and here's the response:
Doing a transfer now to a new server. If everything goes well, it should be up and running this afternoon. Sorry about this mess.
Might need to put a few hours more time on the auctions that ended in the past few hours. You can do that from the Manage Auction page on your auction when it comes back online.
