BTW. Commish, thanks for setting this up. Much harder for you than a normal draft. Hope you can easily import buy from Niv's comments, that is not available yet. So thanks. For that, you should at least get first nom. Lol.

Yep! No need to actually be there when it starts. I will be in the room to kick it off at that time and chat for a few if anyone is interested but otherwise folks can nominate & bid at their leisure.

We won't need to actually be there at 8 EST on 3/1 though, correct? Since it's a slow auction we can log in at any time?

We have at least 8 votes for a 3/1 draft start. DRAFT is set to start on 3/1 @ 8pm est. I will be sending an email out to the league shortly with all the details. Thanks!

Hi Adam - majority of league wanted to go with points so we opted for the change. Totally understand if you're not interested but please let me know soon as I have folks on the waiting list and we are trying to nail down a start to our slow auction. Thanks!

Sorry I think I am a bit behind. Any day is fine with me for the draft. Curious as to why we are doing FG Points? The only reason I joined this league was because it was advertised as 5x5...not a huge deal but as I have been in a FG points league for 7 years I was looking to add something different.
-
I vote for 3/1, but anytime will work.

Let’s do 3/8 so everyone has at least a week.

I vote 3/1 anytime after 5 PM.EST

3/1 is awesome with me - what's the thinking for a start time ? One suggestion - if the room can be set up and we all meet to chat about the process and stuff. Just a thought

FanGraphs points is going to be the scoring type. 3/1 kick off is in the lead right now, seems like that will give everyone the time to get settled and familiar with couch managers for drafting.

What was decided on the scoring method? If that’s not decided yet, then I vote 3/8. If it’s decided today, 3/1 or 3/8 is fine. I want to have time to review projections with our official scoring method.

Draft order does not matter with this auction. Each owner can nominate maximum 3 players at a time to be auctioned.

League is now filled. Welcome to all the new owners. We can now move onto deciding when we want to kick off the draft. As mentioned before the slow draft will take somewhere between 5-7 days and we will need to allow for some time after that to get the rosters imported to Ottoneu. With that said, I propose either starting on 3/1 or 3/8 to give us plenty of time to work through the draft and make sure everything is set for the start of the season. Please share your thoughts.

If we are a full league, can we set the draft order ? I am in the Couch Manager looking at it and seems like a good idea to do a mock draft on there for those of us who have not used it before.
Dying Quails on

Yes, that’s the idea. With this draft format, as long as you can check twice a day you should be fine and won’t miss out on any players you may want. Working on making sure all owners are squared away logistically and then we can decide when to kick off our draft. Stay tuned.

Not trying to be a dick but if we are doing a slow draft shouldn’t that work for everyone’s schedule? Just gotta check every 4-8 hours, right?

Anything but 3/15-17 for me as we'll be at spring training!

I vote to wait a bit to see what happens in spring training. 3/8 sounds good to me. 3/15 would work too.

-
Do we have a target day to start the draft? Friday evening March 1? That’d give us the weekend to get use to the slow draft style. 3/8 could work too.

Hi Pecota, welcome! It is going to be a slow auction draft. Each owner can nominate three players at a time (maximum 36 players being auctioned at time) and utilizing the site it is eBay style auction. 12 hours is the initial timer per player which resets to 8 hours each time a new bid comes in. Once time runs out the highest bidder wins. Overall process should take 5-6 days. Once we get deeper into the draft I can adjust the auction timer (say to 4 hours) to quicken the end process.

Is the slow draft an Auction or a Draft? How does it work if it’s an Auction (or a draft I guess). I logged in and created an account so all set.

Hey All, Steve here from the Windy City. Go White Sox! This is my second Ottoneu league but my first year in both so I’ll be learning. I’d prefer fangraphs points but up for anything.

We play in the CanAm League - I am a 10+yr fantasy baseball veteran and looking to advance the experience, so pleased to be here !

Slow draft is the plan and we are going to utilize couch managers (https://www.couchmanagers.com). If you haven’t visited the site before I would recommend checking it out/creating an account as we will kick off the draft shortly after the league fills. I’ve paid for the premium service so we have the ability to run the slow draft through it. Let me know if you have any issues/questions about the site.

I am not a fan of fan graph points and will most likely drop out if this is the choice ..

I prefer classic, but will still play if FanGraph Points. It will be a learning experience.

I've been asked to see if there is any interest in turning this into a FanGraphs points league? Want to check with the group (I've already heard from a few of you) before making any changes. Feel free to private message me any questions/concerns.

Here’s a slow auction draft taking place live now. This league has long time Ottoneu players (5 years+) taking part in it.

If you’re familiar with NFBC (big time money leagues) they have a lot of slow draft options. You’ll find it’s pretty easy to pick up. I’m happy to walk you through the process if you’d like.

I'm sure I'll be fine ..but as with everything in life if your out of your comfort zone it's a bit scary ..I just hope we can fill the spots with this format ..I've been doing fantasy for over 25 years and never heard of this type of draft.
-
Oh Lord, this is already confusing ….

Hello everyone, excited to be in the league! Ive not done a slow draft, but from what I’ve read, if it starts to drag on and/or you’re down to bottom tier players, you can shorten the reset timer. Also, the draft pauses overnight, for example from 11pm Est to 7am Est, the clock stops. I’ve heard this is a fun way to do it as multiple of your target players could be on the board at once and having to manage your overall cap with multiple bids out adds an interesting layer.
