so, if some folks can't resume drafting Saturday week (which will be 10am PT/1pm ET), then they should plan accordingly for that next Friday (2/23) to be smart how they bid to fill their team...

Click on "Auction Draft" above and you can see the draft room and build your watchlist. Watchlist can also be imported from the watchlist on your team page. Nominations are in order of joining the league. You get ~30 seconds to nominate, and nominations are required...no skips. Auction starts with ~15 seconds, and resets with each bid. More bids, auction takes longer, but no more than a minute or two at most. Player is won, then, on to the next nomination. (seconds are from memory, don

Just curious how long does each individual auction last? I don't see any info on how the Ottoneu draft works besides that it is an auction.

Hey all I just joined. Looking at your past messages it appears you already had a full league so I'm a little confused lol. But if I am actually the last member Id just like to say I'd also like to split the draft into two sessions.

Welcome everyone! Congrats on filling our league!! And I'm excited for such an early draft (it will be the first among the 12 or so leagues I play in or commish)
We'll keep the Friday eve draft (2/23, 4:30pm PT/7:30pm ET) but keep the option open of pausing it around 12:00 am ET (depending on how many east coasters haven't finished drafting by then) and resuming the next day/Saturday at 10am/1pm ET.

I would also prefer to split it up but am down for whatever. It’s most important that everyone can be there obviously.

Hi all. I took the last slot. Glad to be here. In part I chose this league because the auction date fit my schedule. My first preference would be to complete the auction on Friday night. Alternatively, if we must divide, I would like to get in as many hours as we can on night one—go til midnight for example.

Both options are fine with me. However, I do like the idea from my fellow Canadian to split the draft into 2 parts.
Especially since some of us are new and have never participated in an initial auction draft. It can quickly become an exhausting marathon of 6-7 hours. By dividing it into 2 separate moments, it allows us to catch our breath and make more informed decisions.
-
I have no issue with either way. What about keeping the time, but limiting it to 3 hours, then picking it back up for another 3 on the Saturday?
-
I'm cool with pushing the draft to Saturday 2/24. It will definitely be a long evening if we keep it to just Friday eve... and we'd most likely would still have to schedule another date to finish.

Hey all, one manager DM'd me to ask if we could move from Friday eve (2/23) to Saturday (2/24) at 10am PT/1pm ET b/c the draft could last 6 hours (or more). Bc we've all paid with a draft date/time on 2/23 I won't move it if anyone objects....but it's going to be like 1:30am ET by the time some of you finish

welcome Bryan. Hopefully we stay at 2/23 (or 3/1 or 3/8 at the latest. We're up to 5 teams so well on our way!

Hi there! Bryan here - "Emy Awards". This is my 2nd time playing Ottoneu and I'm looking forward to getting back into it. I'm hoping that the $75 level proves to be more engaging than the cheapie league I played in before (2018).
Just a heads-up that if for some reason the draft has to get pushed to mid-March, I'll likely have to drop out as I will be in Vietnam from 3/15 - 3/31. I'll still be able to monitor activity, etc., but won't have time to lock-in for a long draf

Looks like I'll have to push back the draft day a bit to ensure we fill...
