Yeah DW we agree that if you had your pick ready, you should make it...if others are cool with us making ours right after, we're ready to go.
-
I'm out in the woods surveying so hard to communicate til evening. I feel like Uber should get his pick and we move on. Just my opinion though.
-
I messaged the commish last night (10:15 ET) asking what we should do about our pick, saying we could make ours at 10a ET. (I live on the west coast.) then this morning I double-checked with both commishes. I’ve already told one private who our pick would be.
-
Agreed with Fences, Uber responded TWO minutes after SEVEN posted and was ready to pick. In my eyes they're both on the clock

Seconded (and not just selfishly...I'm generally in favor of this for things like slow drafts and betting pools).
-
I would see no problem in, if a team misses their exclusive window then they are still on the clock to pick, but the teams behind them can also pick and may get in in front of them.
-
Commish just told us we could make our pick. We’ll check again
-
Lol that's exactly what I'm picturing. If y'all choose mercy we promise to be all over this the rest of the way.

Run up to the podium like the Vikings back in the day

Shoot, I totally overlooked this...can we make a pick or do we have to wait?

Just to clarify.
Last year this was the procedure.
There are 4 rounds. We didn’t need 5 because everyone kept at least 1 player. You enter the draft when the number of rounds remaining equals the number of players you need to get to 5. So if you kept 3, you enter in the 3rd round, and make picks in the 3rd and 4th.

Great draft guys, we hung in through some weird technical difficulties! We will start the clock for the MiLB draft at midnight tonight and Brushback Boys is on the clock. Please make your selection between now and tomorrow before midnight.
-
Alright, we will run it the same as it was run last year. Your MiLB players will occupy first available round picks and we will run the draft as a snake beginning with 12th place and moving in reverse order of the standings. There will be 4 rounds this year because we all have at least 1 Keeper.

SSC, you told us on november 19th "The only part of the ottoneu rules that we don't follow are how the Milb draft flows in that before the draft lets say you have 3 Milb players, those players would occupy your first 3 slots and you would draft in the 4th and 5th rounds to fill your roster." you were clear about the mechanic with us. we're just not used to snake draft. in our normal keeper league, you have the same slot every round. how a snake draft functions hit us when we saw the dr
-
I don't think you dropped the ball at all, SSC. FWIW, I think we should do what we did last year and not penalize a team for keeping an extra player(s). I say that as someone who only kept 1 player. I appreciate the argument for having a kept player count as a pick, but I think we should follow what we did last year and let everyone pick in the first round. If we want to deviate from precedent, then it's a discussion for the off-season, not on the eve of the auction.

I feel like I've dropped the ball here as far as communication and staying on top of/having a clear understanding of the 5 MiLB system. I was in another league that used it and it was fun. I realize it's pretty late to start messing with it too much since we're about to draft, so I'm hoping we can just make it work for everyone this season based on what we did in the past. After that, we could totally over haul this, or get rid of it, or whatever people may be interested in.
-
Thanks, ssc!
-
It's odd that you're penalized this year because you drfated good last year or the year before. It should be independant from what was kept or not. You finished last, you have first pick and so on in a snake draft, when you get to five you're done (my two cents)

Robert Hassell added to Gout Wars

Sounds like that's what we are doing and have done in the prior year.
-
If my two cents are worth anything I would say that the first round of the draft is the first round. Therefore we should go inreverse order of last year's finish.

I went back to look at the league messages and the intention was that the last team in the standings would be the 1st pick of the milb draft and then go from there, regardless of what round we started on. Last year we were in the same situation and we started the draft with the last place team amd continued in the reverse order of the standings. I'd like to just continue with this standard and have the 1st pick begin with last place.
-
Understood. Thanks for all the quick replies. We know this is coming late, obviously we didn’t totally understand all this, especially the snake part. If we had we would have called up Hassell. Would it be possible for us to do that now and go down to one keeper?
-
And by delay the start of the draft, I mean the Milb draft, this has nothing to do with the main draft.
-
Oh wow, I guess I hadn't thought that deep. If that's how it should work and people agree I can make that happen. I feel like there's some good questions/concerns coming up and I don't want to make hasty decisions that affect the league. If we need to discuss this more, the start of the draft could be delayed a bit.
-
It is a snake and yes, that means you'd be picking as we're coming back down. The rules say randomized order, but we had decided the first year of the league to use the reverse order of the standings.
Axiom, I posted another link below. I had found the wrong set of rules first, but posted the ones which we have been running by.
-
yes, although technically the "first" round is actually round two (since all our first kept minor leaguers count as round 1). so the "first" round we draft should be reverse standings and the "second" round we draft would go according to the standings. not sure how technical this all is supposed to be.
-
It's a snake draft according to the link to the MiLB rules sent out earlier: https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/ottoneu-101-the-5milb-structure/
"Each of the twelve (12) teams in the league may draft up to the maximum of five (5) minor league players (“5MiLB”) during the MiLB non-roster “snake” draft"

is the minors draft snake? does this mean if we don't pick until round 2, we're actually in the back end of that round? obviously sucks for us. we come from a league where we don't do snake so i always forget about it.

5MiLB RULES - https://community.ottoneu.com/t/5milb-rules-for-ottoneu-champions-league/1016
Finally found it in the messages. This is the link for the Rules we follow which clearly say what Swinging for the Fences mentioned.
-
So when you look up the 5 MiLB rules there are a couple different sets used and I think I did the exact same thing last year and referred to the wrong set. My bad and the new order should reflect the rules of our league.

Round 1 -

Alright, sorry guys, Swinging is right and I'm not meaning to confuse the entire league. My apologies.
I went back in the league messages and it looks like last year, the players you kept occupied the earliest rounds of the draft, meaning if you kept 2 MiLB players, you didn't select until round 3.
I can update the order to reflect this and again, my apologies for all the confusion 1 day before the draft. Should have been more on top of it.
-
After all the call ups and cuts, each of us has either 1 or 2 MiLB players, so we will have 4 Rounds with a few people not making a 4th selection.
-
Last year we definitely did the reverse order of finish snake, but it also factored in if u had a player "kept" in that round then you got passed over.
-
Per the Rules - "5MiLB keepers will be kept in the latest possible round, which means each team that keeps < five 5MiLB players prior to the 5MiLB draft will receive a 1st round pick."
I thought that this is how we'd run the draft in past years, but I have an absolutely terrible memory and if I'm wrong I can definitely make the switch to what Swinging is saying.
-
Just some clarification, wouldn't it be Dominican Uber, Tigers 2025, Sanford Sour, etc. Since Brushback and others have more than one player kept on their MiLB rosters?

And some of my first message was cut off.

thanks, ssc! bb, moving completely sucks. glad you got your cuts done.

Went back through the Milb Roster and realized I hadn't deleted a few of the guys that had been promoted/cut last year. It should be all good now, including the latest round of drops. PLEASE take a second to look and make sure your roster looks correct. I will organize them by draft order in the near future. Thanks

Good morning all, I'm so sorry I missed these messages. Turns out when I was moving, I had mistakenly put March 15th as the new date for cuts instead of March 5th, ugh. I made my cuts this morning and hope that's ok.
