• We did vote on it a few years ago but with all the new faces we have we can certainly have a vote again. Does anyone have objections to switching? If there is no opposition we can skip the vote.

  Big Papi memories on March 27, 2021 9:57 PM

• Shiiiiiiiit sisbthe draft still active? Sorry guys my 8yo is Covid positive and I'm making all the arrangements for the next 2 weeks if quarantine

  Bohm's Away on March 27, 2021 7:31 PM

• Draft still paused? I don't want to mess anything up, but we can't offer trades or bid on free agents until it's over.

  Onett O-fers on March 27, 2021 6:54 PM

• I'm also a new owner but would be in favor of switching to the arbitration system!

  Bobby's Cox Arraez on March 27, 2021 5:23 PM

• I agree with Tulsa on switching away from the vote-off system. As I recall, the alternative is allowing owners to increase the salary of a player on each team, or something along those lines. That would be preferable, in my opinion.

  None More Black on March 27, 2021 12:44 PM

• I was a "new" owner 3 years ago, and now I only recognize maybe 4 team names from when I joined. The $ allocation system seems much more equitable.

  Onett O-fers on March 27, 2021 12:44 PM

• Sorry, I posted all that from the rules and didn't see that Tulsa already answered the question. But yeah, I agree the vote off system is lame. I'd be in favor of scrapping it, but I'm a new guy so I get it if the majority of the league prefers it.

  Uptown Nine on March 27, 2021 12:37 PM

• this is from the rules, about Vote Off system: a. The vote-off system gives each team in the league the ability to vote on a player on each other team.
  b. The player that receives the most votes collectively on each team is turned into a restricted free agent that can be bid on by other teams during the auction draft.
  d. The team they were voted off from will get an automatic $5 discount towards that player, so if they get the player back, they will get the player for $5 under what t

  Uptown Nine on March 27, 2021 11:38 AM

• If the previous owner re-buys their voted off player, they get a $5 discount.
  
  FWIW, I greatly prefer the other arbitration method. Any chance we could vote to change that for next offseason? We do have a lot of new owners now.

  Onett O-fers on March 27, 2021 11:35 AM

• Can someone remind me about how the vote-off players are handled in auction? I vaguely remember something about a discount for the team who owned them before but I might be thinking of a different league...

  Harper Hammers on March 27, 2021 11:21 AM

• Thanks Tulsa. I will add you as a co-commish & we should be set.

  Big Papi memories on March 26, 2021 8:47 PM

• I could probably manage that if nobody else is willing.

  Onett O-fers on March 26, 2021 3:48 PM

• Hey guys, so I have a family issue that has come up that will conflict with draft time. I will be travelling and available to participate in but will not be able to oversee the draft. Rather than reschedule I would like to hand off commissioner duties to someone willing. Really all you have to do is start the draft, then if any issues arise be able to pause the draft and put guys back in the player pool if platform issues take place. Please message me or leave a note here if you can do it.

  Big Papi memories on March 26, 2021 12:53 PM

• Ok. Votes are in and we are set for March 27th at 1PM EST/ 12 noon CST/ 10 AM PST.

  Big Papi memories on March 12, 2021 12:19 PM

• 3 teams have yet to vote, please get your votes in tomorrow. Since we already have a leading contender of March 27th, I will go ahead and say that the draft will NOT be this weekend.

  Big Papi memories on March 10, 2021 10:38 AM

• Poll is in CST

  Big Papi memories on March 8, 2021 1:54 PM

• What time zone are those slots in? I'm free every Sunday and after 330 PST on Saturdays

  Bohm's Away on March 8, 2021 11:53 AM

• Thanks for setting up the poll. This weekend is a hard no-go for me, I will be out of town for spring break vacation. I have another draft the evening of the 28th. Everything else in between (20th, 21st, 27th, earlier on the 28th) should work.

  Onett O-fers on March 8, 2021 11:51 AM

• Welcome to our new owners! Sorry for the delay, but I just sent you all a link to the doodle poll to get a draft date nailed down. I started with weekends but if we cannot get a majority vote for a weekend time, then we can expand to the weekdays. Nothing better than watching some march madness while drafting a fantasy baseball team. Please get your votes in by Thursday this week so that if the votes come in for this weekend, people have more than a day to prepare. Link also posted on board

• I just took over the last open team and made my cuts. Looking forward to the season!

  Thunder Road on March 7, 2021 8:31 PM

• Welcome aboard! Very glad that you joined us. Looks like we have only one more slot to fill.

  None More Black on March 7, 2021 9:12 AM

• Awesome, welcome!

  Harper Hammers on March 6, 2021 2:02 PM

• Just took over Find a Millisecond, made my cuts, and name to Providence Graves! Excited for the season!

  Bobby's Cox Arraez on March 6, 2021 11:23 AM

• I was hoping to get 1 more signed up before setting up the draft but I can create the doodle this week and look for a date next week or later. I will send out the poll when it is ready today or tomorrow.

  Big Papi memories on March 2, 2021 10:26 AM

• Are we waiting for teams additional teams to join to determine a draft date?

  Bohm's Away on March 1, 2021 8:31 AM

• Thanks I appreciate that

  Bohm's Away on February 11, 2021 12:01 PM

• Per site rules you are only allowed one set of penalty free cuts after joining a league after the cut deadline. Because you cut Swarzak & noone else they count that as your one time free cuts. Since you did not know, please let me know who else you want to cut and I can remove them without the penalty. Make sure you let me know all the cuts you want to make though, anything after this one will be with penalties.

  Big Papi memories on February 11, 2021 11:21 AM

• Hey guys quick question, says rosters are locked so I can't anymore and will I be able to cut penalty free before the auction?

  Bohm's Away on February 11, 2021 8:35 AM

• I'm good, thanks. It was pretty clear; I don't know why I even asked. Looking forward to the season. Hopefully we can fill those last 2 spots in the league.

  Uptown Nine on February 8, 2021 7:13 PM

• Welcome! It is one shot at free cuts & it looks like you may have went under that assumption. Let us know if you did not do that and we can decide how to handle.

  Big Papi memories on February 6, 2021 7:38 PM

• Hi guys. I just took over Make it a Double. How does this work as far as cuts? I get one shot at penalty-free cuts? I want to clarify if I should make all the cuts I want at once, rather than a little here and there.

  Uptown Nine on February 6, 2021 6:08 PM

• Reminder that the keeper deadline is tomorrow. Please make sure you cut anyone you plan to prior to midnight eastern tomorrow. Cuts will still be allowed after tomorrow's deadline but you WILL have to pay half the salary.

  Big Papi memories on January 30, 2021 3:52 PM

• Don't forget to post my team. I do not intend on returning. Thank you.

  All Proofs on December 2, 2020 5:38 AM

• I didn’t get any notifications until I asked if I’d been in this league as I had my first notification that day. Please take me out of this league, thank you.

  Bohm's Away on November 26, 2020 12:27 PM

• Clearly you were in the league if you were getting notifications. I will post your team likely in the next few days.

  Big Papi memories on November 26, 2020 10:34 AM

• You finished 5th.

  All Proofs on November 26, 2020 10:12 AM

• Yes, you were.

  All Proofs on November 26, 2020 10:12 AM

• Again I’m asking if I was in this league per my previous message?

  Bohm's Away on November 26, 2020 10:10 AM

• It is not my intent to return to the league next season. Please post my team so a replacement can be found. Thank you and good luck.

  All Proofs on November 26, 2020 10:02 AM

• Reminder to get your arb votes in by tomorrow. Tomorrow is the last day.

  Big Papi memories on November 13, 2020 9:19 AM

• I keep getting messages the last couple of days but none at all until now. Was i in this league?

  Bohm's Away on October 1, 2020 7:10 PM

• Thanks, Commish. You know it's a strange year when Aviary Connection doesn't win the title. Thanks for the work you do as the commissioner.

  None More Black on October 1, 2020 4:11 PM

• Congratulations to our new league champion None More Black. It was a weird 60 game fantasy season but I hope you all will be back next year. Arbitration voting starts in 2 weeks on October 15. You will be able to vote for 1 person on every team that you would like back in the player pool for the draft next year.

  Big Papi memories on October 1, 2020 3:15 PM

• Every team can veto or approve a trade by reviewing it. Trades require I believe 6 teams voting to veto before the trade is overturned.

  Big Papi memories on May 23, 2020 9:00 PM

• Franco for Urias? is there a veto button?

  Bobby's Cox Arraez on May 23, 2020 8:40 PM

• And you have a staff from hell

  Purple Cactus on March 24, 2020 8:01 PM

• Still a lot of talented FA's also

  Purple Cactus on March 24, 2020 7:59 PM

• You're going to need to fatten up, auctions over. Didn't realize that when I joined and we still need to get another owner for New Ownership.

  Purple Cactus on March 24, 2020 7:45 PM

• Another new owner here. I will cut a player or 2 tonight, but pretty well trimmed down already
