Any chance we could move the auction to a weeknight or next weekend to accommodate the new owner? If he's new to the league and new to ottoneu, it kinda sucks to miss the biggest event of the year and the best chance to build his team.

I prefer to keep the existing draft day/time. I think finding someone to draft for you is the best approach. Give that person a list of targets with max spend for each. Good luck.

Yeah, sorry, this Sunday was the one day I really didn’t want to do the draft, I was able to make it work but absolutely can’t do the evening

This post here talks about trying to find a proxy drafter
-
I recall there were a few conflicts with a later draft time due to other drafts/ obligations so I hesitate to move it again without hearing from None or Betances.
-
Alternatively, not sure if we could make this work but you could submit a list of players and the highest you’d bid on them. This would still be a big disadvantage because we’d know the price to beat on them, but at least you’d end up filling your roster. Not sure how this could work on the commissioners end tho
-
I have another home league drafting at 8 CT/9 ET on Sunday. I could move to a little later, but we need to be wrapped up by around 7:30, so I can change gears. But I don't know about everyone else.

You can sometimes message in the ottoneu community forum to try to find someone to do the draft for you. I could do later in the day but I think others had conflicts
-
Unfortunately something literally just came up and I won't be able to make it to the draft. I could do approximately 3 hours later if that works, otherwise I realize my team is going to look rough. I'll still play the season if that works or if you want to kick me from the league and find someone else, I'm cool with that too. I'm really sorry since I know it makes the league a little less competitive and fun.

Welcome aboard!

Glad to have you on board! Be sure to make all of your pre-draft cuts in 1 move, since the normal deadline has passed.

1250 min for pitching, no min for batters

One last question for yall. Are there IP/GS minimums for pitchers and hitters?
-
Thanks for handling Tulsa, and welcome.
-
I think I found it on a different screen. You should have 1 more round of penalty-free cuts. Choose wisely!

No worries if you can’t figure it out. My other ottoneu league was able to reset it but that’s SABR points so maybe that’s the difference? If you two can’t figure out how to reset, I’m happy to DM one of y’all the other players to cut and we can do it manually that way. Excited to draft on Sunday!
-
Welcome aboard! I don't think your round of cuts can be re-set, but I do believe I can remove additional players from your roster with no cap penalty. Aviary might know of another option, but this is the only one I see. I'm only the emergency commissioner, so I'll defer to him first, but I'm happy to help if needed.

Hey fellas, stoked to join the league. Hopefully another person or two hops in to make the league viable. If possible, could one of the comissioners reset my cuts. Forgot I've only got one round of cuts at this point and didn't cut everyone I wanted to just now. Will make sure everyone I want off the roster will be cut by tomorrow evening. Thanks!

does the system let a league conduct a draft if you don't have all 12 teams claimed?

Yes, sorry -- 3 pm Central would be better for me, but I could make 4 pm Central work also
-
4 CT will work, 3 CT would be better. Assuming we will only draft for ~ 2 hours, either one is fine. I just need a bit of a break between this draft and my other one that night.

Yes, I can do 4/3 at 3 CT/ 4 ET.

We can certainly push it a little earlier if that works for everyone, I just didn't want to put anyone else out since some blocked that off. Uptown think you can make 3 CT/ 4 ET work?
-
That works for me, but I'm down to do a little earlier too if that works better for people
-
yeah I can make it work will just have to buy my wife something nice for giving me a whole day of drafts… but if we can start as early in the day as possible that would be great.
-
Alright so it sounds like 4/3 is the day. I am seeing evening conflicts so maybe 4 CT/ 5ET? None More Black, Betances, & Tulsa would that work? I believe you all indicated evening conflicts but that seems to have the highest votes if we can make it work.
-
What Providence said. Direct them to our league name and they can decide which of the available teams they want.
-
They can see the available teams here: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/claimteams
-
So I found a person who wants a team, I posted on the Athletic we are looking for 2 owners. How do I send an invite or just tell him to search for the league name?

I could possibly do morning (10 am Eastern or earlier) or afternoon (between 2-5 pm Eastern) of 4/3.
-
Morning or afternoon of 4/3 is ok for me, just not evening

4/3 works better for me. I could do anytime that day!
-
4/3 is definitely the best for me :
-
Sunday 3/27 would work much better for me than 4/3 also.
-
How can we have a draft if we don’t have 12 owners? No one will want to pick up an abandoned team after the draft. Right?

Yeah, I’m out on 4/3 also. Sorry, I was just thinking of the next 2 Sundays (3/20 & 3/27). I have another draft that night too.

Would really prefer not to do evening of 4/3 because I have another draft at 7p CT that day.

I am good with either Sunday.

Thank you everyone for quickly filling out your timeslots. The leading votes are for any of the upcoming Sundays. 2 owners have yet to fill out the poll so please get your slots in so we can secure our time. Also if anyone knows someone who wants to join, feel free to invite/ or send along the league info.
-
Apologies for the delay, poll is live. Please get your dates in soon so we can schedule the draft date. Opening day is April 7 so we need to get it in before then. As always we will go with the best weekend time.

If anyone has people who want to join up please feel free to invite them or let me know which team they want & I can send along the join. Now that we know there will be a season, hopefully people will regain interest. I can set up a poll for potential draft dates and send it out this weekend.
-
Oops kinda put the carriage ahead of horse on that one, I'll ask around might be able to rustle up a coworker or 2 unless anyone knows of any others.
