so we're waiting on one more? If it's down to 1 we may need to do this regardless, just my opinion

Not confirmed yet. Still waiting on responses from two people. Fingers crossed.

Have we confirmed tomorrow night?

Tomorrow sounds good, go as long as we can

The 23rd was perfect for me. But I'm really packed otherwise. I could also do tonight or tomorrow night. The rest of the suggested nights, I have drafts or I am traveling and cannot draft. If that means I can't do the league, I'm willing to gove my spot to someone else.
-
OK good to know. any other times unanimously lining up with the 9 so far?

And for a full update: 9/12 surveyed and tomorrow night is the only window with everyone noting that they're available. Maybe we try to do 3 hours tomorrow night and figure out the rest later. Another option is to do live auction as much as we can, and then mark the draft finished and handle the rest through the in-season free agent auction process. You nominate players and there's a 48-hour blind auction for the player. We could have 20+ auctions going at once.
-
9/12 have responded and we have one no on tonight. I'd hate to kick this thing off at a time when somebody will miss the first few hours of the auction. So, unless that person messages me and tells me they actually can make it, I don't want to do that.
-
is tonight looking like a possibility on the results so far?

Need everyone to fill this out: https://forms.gle/3aSVxkatZA2pJfud9

Ok, everybody. In addition to the public statements here, I've had private messages saying the 23rd is no good. So, Please take a minute and fill out this Google survey. It has a bunch of windows on it. Might need to break this up over multiple nights. Note that the first slot it lists is tonight. Then there are multiple windows tomorrow. We might need to get creative. If we can't make it work, we might just have to punt this to next year. https://forms.gle/3aSVxkatZA2pJfud9

Looks like no auto draft, but you could find a proxy. It's going to be hard to find nights we can all do this, everyone is drafting this week. I have a draft the 17th, cant the 19th, and was looking to enter a Main Even next week. I could tonight but can't imagine everyone can pull that off on this short a notice.

Sorry to be that guy, Im usually pretty flexible. Im in LV from 03.20-03.25. I'm probably not going to want to spend 4-5 hr drafting that day from my room, plus I have a draft 2 pm - 5 pm est that day. Not sure how the auto draft works on this, or if Russell could have a fill in. How bad is it to draft from your phone? I'm free tonight, Sunday 03.17, 03.18-03.20 I'll make whatever time after 5 pm est work. Same for 03.26 + 03.27.

I have done that! I'd call it a sacrifice, but we all know that kind of thing is fun. No kidding, last night I did an auction on my phone while reading Harry Potter to my 10 yr old.
-
Thanks. Tried google searching for it and couldn't find anything that really helped.
-
an online polling tool. I will work with Noon EST, ill just draft on my phone while my wife drives home lol

What the hell is a Doodle pool?
-
Only if the requests get out of hand. Right now it sounds like the current time, while not ideal for everyone, is the best option.
-
Does it make sense to just set up a Doodle poll?
-
I have a hard stop right before 3PM CT / 4PM ET. But I'm fine rebuilding my team if my preferences are incompatible with everyone else's.
-
I have plans till noon EST and a 20 minute drive home

I should be awake by then. Morning beer tastes just as good as afternoon beer.
-
Can't make everyone happy. Can we all make it work if I push it up half an hour? 10:30 (CT) / 11:30 (ET)?
-
I’m pretty sure it displays our own time zone. I see central time. So let’s just say “two hours earlier than scheduled” rather than have everyone guess what you mean.

Let's party!

Looks like only Ted wants morning. If I have to push it to noon I can do it, just would prefer a touch after that if possible.

I can do the 23rd, but can't do the morning. 12:30 start would be ideal

I'm still trying to get my act together so I'm worried I'll reverse myself. Is it possible to start closer to, say, 10AM ET? I have a family function at 4PM ET.

Hello everyone! I'm excited about this league. I joined an ottoneu league two years ago and love it! The draft moves well and the commish can stop it for breaks but we can knock it out in under 5 hours. March 23 works for me

Draft date/time works for me. I've never done an Ottoneu league so I apologize if I'm a bit slower on how things work since I'm not the most tech savvy person out there and can get very confused very quickly.
-
And WELCOME! Thank you for joining up. We'll make this league a great one!
-
So, sound off on the date and time, and you're willingness to bang the whole thing out on that day and we'll go from there.
-
OK, everybody. We are FULL! The first and biggest order of business is the draft. We don't have too many options, so is Saturday, March 23 at the listed time doable for everyone? My hope is to stick with that date and time, give it 4-6 hours and see where we are completion-wise. I've done a new Ottoneu once before and we knocked it out in about 5 hours if I remember, but everybody needs to be humming along with the nominations and keeping the one-second-left bids to a minimum.

Let's get the league filled and then we'll have those discussions.
-
I'm reading that a start up draft can take 8 hours - are we thinking of breaking this up into 2 nights?
