• Couple of quick questions/clarifications:
  1) Dropping a player puts them on waivers at their current salary - no waiver claim leaves 50% of that salary on the dropping team's roster, and any subsequent bidding on that player must start at that 50% value, correct?
  2) Per V.b, I assume the bidding is a blind bid submission? All using our $400 salary cap, right...ie no FAAB.
  3) Waiver claims are similarly blind as FA bids (but obviously, a claim, not a bid)

• Another thing to note: players on the 60 day IL will count against your roster during the draft. Basically, no one can draft more than 40 players, but then immediately after the draft, you will get the extra roster spots available.

• the rules are very important guys....ive learned from playing in my other lg...you get penilized money when you cut a player...also if you go over budget, your roster is locked and you wont be able to change your line-up....then to get under budget youll wind up cutting a player you dont want to.....just be careful...and its a lot of fun

• I'm OK with anything. I generally stay up pretty late normally (Midnight/1 am) and am in CT. I'm new, so not sure if we have any West Coasters or not, but even fine with pulling forward if that makes it easier for anyone.

• I'd be ok with that, or alternatively, we could aim to stop halfway through to avoid either night going too late (e.g. stop after ~240 players or so, or less since I'm assuming the later 1$ bid players take less time).

• Any chance we can stop the draft after 3 hours on Wednesday? That would be midnight on the East Coast.

• i did a draft last week...it took about 7 hours,,,,once you filll your team...you have to wait around for regular draft after auction part is done...you make like another additional 6-8 picks if i remember correctly....but its real involved, very interesting

• Think i'm the last guy in. Let's get this rolling.

• Yea, 8 hours total is probably about average, but first year drafts can range from 6-7 hours to as long as 10. Just depends on the draft

  Bogaerts That Joint on March 12, 2021 5:45 PM

• Probably more like 3-4 hours on night 1, with the rest being night 2. My understanding is that these startup drafts can take a while because of the deeper rosters. But yes, that's the basic idea.

• Hi all. Just joined the league. New to Ottoneu, but have been in keeper leagues, as well as my main league, an 11 year running Dynasty league at CBS. Looking forward to auction next week - how is it being split? Something like 1-2 hours, then finish the next night?

• Thanks guys - going to confirm the draft dates as March 17 and 18 starting at 6PT/9ET (draft will be split over two days).

• As long as it’s the evening time—like that 8CT start, I can be good for most nights.
