So if everyone's ok with it, I'm going to look for a new owner for Big Red. He hasn't responded in Slack, here, or through email.
-
Thanks!
-
If you click "players" at the top of the site, then type the player's name you want, click on his name, it'll bring you to his page, and you can click "start auction"
-
How do I put a player up for auction?

Hey Big Red, are you still playing? You haven’t set your lineup or anything, but it looks like you’ve logged in. Let us know

There's baseball tomorrow everyone!!! Don't forget to set your lineups
-
Sorry, added him
-
I'm missing Austin Barnes ($2)
-
OK, everybody double check there teams. Make sure I got the correct players & prices
-
yeah for sure, this message board is useful but not ideal
-
2 of my fantasy leagues use Slack. It works fantastically for trade discussion and updates. :thumbs up:

Another league I joined has a Slack channel for messages, both league-wide & DM’s for trade chat & stuff. Seems way easier than this message board honestly, anyone up for it?
-
Yeah I agree. Can cut short some guys instead of just waiting 12 hours when everyone knows they won't bid
-
Seems like the key to keeping this draft reasonably short is to hit the PASS button when a player gets out of your price range. Then that player can get off the board and a new one nominated.
-
FYI everyone the auction has begun
-
Solid Seinfeld reference.

Do we need to create an account for couchmanagers? I copy and pasted the link and it took me straight to our draft page.

2 folks left let's gooo

For those of you wondering, you can change your team name to match this league by clicking 'Edit Team Name' down on lower right of couchmanager page.

Apparently there is an 8 character limit on passwords so FOFauction was too long lol
-
Sorry, I'm dumb.
Password is: FOFdraft
-
I am trying to join just it says that "FOFauction" is the incorrect password
-
https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/?auction_id=144
Auction created here.
Password: FOFauction
Double check rules & roster for me to make sure I didn't make any mistakes since this is the first time I've created an auction there. We'll start as soon as everyone is in.
-
Alright, looks like we’re full & ready to go! I’ll get the auction started on couchmanagers in the next day or two & let you guys know how to join etc.
-
Just joined! Looking forward to the league. I am good with a slow draft.

Yeah the clock resets on a new high bid, so sniping should not be an issue. We just have to set the reset time to something fair, so you don’t go to sleep with the high bid, get outbid & then auction is over before you wake up. That’s why I think 8 hours seems fine.
-
Awesome, that's good news, thanks Plebian Nation! I've never used that site so I'm not sure what to expect.

Hi all, just joined. I believe the Commish mentioned doing a slow draft on couchmanagers, so yes there shouldn't be any sniping if we're going to use that site. I've used it before and its great.

Sure, that sounds good. Are we going to allow sniping? It looks like you can make the rules such that when a bid is made on a player it resets the clock for that player. Thus nullifying the act of "sniping", when someone comes in at the last second with a higher bid (like happens on eBay all the time).

Ok, just getting two new owners for the empty spots. As soon as we have them, we’ll get drafting.
What does everyone think for nominations per team at a time & hours? I think 3 per team, & 8-12 hours is standard
-
I agree, seems like the offline draft is the way to go at this point
-
Yeah let's do it! Get this ball rolling

Since we can’t agree on a time best for everyone, should we just go with Offline draft, make sure we have all managers ready, and get started?
-
That wouldn't quite work for me sadly.
-
730 PT on a Friday or Sat is something I would not want to do, but could. I cannot do 7pm PT Sun- Thurs. What about 2 hours Friday night, 2 hours sat morning and finish sat night?

Is there no time in the mornings that work? We could do 2 hours in the morning, 2 hours at night on a Saturday and Sunday? That would spread the pain of wacky hours a little more evenly, perhaps.

I could do weekends, but it'd have to be like 730pst and I don't think that would work for a few of us, right?
-
Catching up on messages... I would love to make a live auction work if possible - are weekends out of the question? That would seem easiest to accommodate folks being on opposite coasts. If not, I think the slow auction is a great idea. I've done something similar for a fantasy Game of Thrones league before :D
-
Yeah I did not realize the draft would be at 10 pm ET on a Monday and Tuesday. I work at 6 am ET during the week and could not do that

So do we want to do a late night auction (7pst) or offline auction? Either is fine with me, I just want to make sure everyone can make it & be happy
-
Hey guys - first time doing Ottoneu. I am stoked to try this out. I am based on California, huge Padres fan, going to AZ spring training in a couple weeks. Mondays are hard for me to draft but I will make whatever work!
-
awful how? I am curious

"Abandon Team Please reach out to your commissioner in order to abandon your team." This is what it says on the team settings. Please let me know how to proceed. I did an offline auction last year and it was awful.

I'll have to do offline, then, as I am on the East Coast and get up early for work. But I'm definitely still in and willing to try the offline auction.
