Added another nom for everyone.

If there's an auto pause at night, whats the disadvantage of cutting the time in half? That would be like a 4 hour slow NFBC draft

FYI, full transparency, I accidentally undid two bids on Joel Payamps. I thought I was using a regular tool and adjusting my high bid but it was a commish tool. It brought the current wining bid down by a dollar, but it reset the clock too. Just in case anybody noticed. I won’t do it again.
-
Looks like we’re well on our way. I went ahead and gave everybody a 3rd nomination to make. I want to see some auctions end before adding more but I plan to add one or two more tomorrow.
The draft will auto-pause from 12-8 (ET) but I think you can still bid and nominate during that time.
-
Once everyone feels comfortable we want max niminations/auctions going.
-
You're good. Just make sure you familiarize yourself with the interface and everything during this first round of auctions.
-
If this is delaying things I’ll do it tonight. Just wanted to do some reading tonight. Busy day!

Zito and whichever team is YRUNL need to make nominations and then we're at full tilt until tomorrow when I increase nominations.
-
Please read the league email. It addresses the nighttime pause. It also says we can adjust the settings. I just don't want to turn the dial too hard right as we get started.
-
sorry, night time pause was a dumb question. i didn't realize the timer resets for each bid.

We're live, guys. See league email!

No worries. We’re FULL. I’m out running errands with the kids but I’ll start it in about half an hour! Look for updates!

I apologize for the delay, I logged in couch managers as Ballan.

Yeah, join at 11 am. Don’t leave until Thursday. But just got done doing a home auction from my phone because a family thing popped up. Auction went well, cake came out when the reserve draft started, had to leave it to the queue for that. Driving to an ahl hockey game now. Let’s go!

Going to be away for a couple of hours. Won't let me change the name on the auction thing, so I'm MrDave on that if it helps.

Lets keep the questions and speculation to a minimum on the board here. I'm aware of the last holdout. Working on it. One thing everyone could do to make things easy for the rest of us is to make sure your Couch Managers team name matches your team name here.

Do we have the guy in Vegas?

I'm there.

Probably a good idea to draft two though. If you want to get your full 162 games out of the position.

We’re not starting until everyone joins.
If you don’t want two catchers, just draft a second catcher last and I’ll do a penalty free cut after we import the rosters.
-
Other thing is you have two catcher slots. Not an issue until the last pick if people only want to draft one.

2nd the notification of the draft. My gut is telling me that when I check to see if we are live, we will already be a few rounds deep. Cheers!

No nominations until everyone joins. I’ll start it as soon as we’re full.

Might want to at least get everyone in the draft first.

Going to be back and forth a bit today. Heading to lunch with the GF and then I'll be around briefly before my other draft.
-
I've never done a slow auction either. Kind of excited. I've written up a nuts and bolts information/instruction email to blast out once we're full. We're at 7/12 right now. LETS GOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good solution Russell! My first Ottoneu league and first slow auction!

I’ve only had good experiences with couch managers. Just check your roster after the final import. Sometimes Zac Veen turns into Zach Veen.

I'm reducing it to 2 nominations each to start, just so we can get feet wet. I don't want anybody getting stuck with six $40 player before we really have our heads wrapped around it. The plan is to increase nominations by 1 every 8 hours or so. If we want to finish by the Korea games I can ramp it up really fast. If we only care about domestic opening day, it can be a slower burn. Let's just get it going first and see how the first day goes.
-
Looks like it renders pretty nicely on web mobile.
-
That should work. Glad we were able to come up with something that can make this happen for everyone.
-
9/9 Replies are good with it, so I'm assuming the last 3 wont rock the boat. Here's a link to the league. Click "join" on one of the teams. The password is "Drebin." We'll start rolling as soon as we're full. We're going to start at 3 nominations each and ramp up as we get more comfortable and get the bigger players off the board. https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/?auction_id=871
