ok, I'm going to turn off the nomination rule, but if it seems that someone is consistently missing his turn to nominate we will deal with it then

May I suggest that you have your wives have a "girls night out" or something. Get her movie tickets or something to get her out of the house
-
Please leave it unchecked!
-
Agreed. In my last auction I missed two nominations out of sheer distraction. If we have someone who is consistently missing the nominations, then we can deal with that then. But ususally checking that box means the commish has to let owners back into the auction over and over, which has to be a pain.
-
Not a big deal to me either way on the auction nomination rule, but you might as well leave it unchecked, because people inevitably accidentally miss their turn, and you really have to let them back in - you can't kick someone out of the draft for having to take a leak or getting distracted by a kid or girlfriend or whatever.

Draft Auction starts promptly at 9 PM EST on Tuesday, March 7th. Good Luck
-
The Nomination Rule reads as follows: "Check this box if you want the auction draft software to require every team to nominate on its turn. If this box is checked and a team misses its nomination window, that team will be locked out of the auction draft. Good for highly competitive leagues". What do you all think of this setting for the draft? I can turn it off or on, let me know what you think.

The March 7th draft date works for me too.
-
Damn, Nuke, keeping Sale AND Kershaw? Figured you'd throw one of those arms back. We won't exactly be having a star-studded draft; apparently we're a bunch of hoarders.

Nuke Laloosh never cut anyone and is over the cap. Is Nuke still playing?

Works for me, too.

That draft time works great for me.
-
I'm in on that date. It would be perfect
-
Welcome aboard Nat and Easydemon! Easy, you still have one round of penalty free cuts to get your roster below the $400 salary cap. I propose that we draft on March 7th @ 9 PM EST, that would be 6 o'clock on the west coast. Let me know how this works for all of you.

Alright, all teams are manned. Welcome, Nat. Now, let's schedule the draft. I'm free the rest of the day today. Let's do it tonight.

big ottoneu ad campaign on rotowire today. Today would be the day for abandoned teams to be available to be claimed.
-
I cant do the 8th. Best nights for me are probably the 7th or 16th. I could also easily do the 5th, even though its not an option.
-
Any of those nights are fine by me. To get those teams filled, just mark them as abandoned and let them be posted as available on the main board. They'll get picked up soon enough.

Tentative Draft Dates March 6th thru the 9th and the 13th thru the 16th, Mon thru Thurs. start time 9 PM EST so we can accommodate those on the west coast. Let me know the date that works best for you and we will make every attempt to fine tune it so everyone can participate. Also, we still have two abandoned teams. Gold Sea bowed out this weekend and Nuke. I'm trying to find owners, sent out a bunch of new emails, but its been difficult. Can't draft without a full league

I'm good through most of March. Thursday, the 9th is not good. A few weekends I'll be checking out some college baseball around the SE. I doubt we have a draft on a Friday or Saturday night so it shouldn't effect things.
-
Fellas, we should really start trying to find a draft date...Bunt, can you start setting this up.

I am the new owner of saratoga, will make all my cuts by end of the day feb 12th, will change team name, thank you for adding me , and giving me a franchise with such young talent
-
Ok we have two new perspective owners, thanks to Walkoff and Bryce, thanks guys! I had sent out dozens of emails to "available owners" from the Fangraphs list, but some of those had posted last season and responses have not produced much interest. So once the new owners have joined I will be sending out info this week for the draft, sometime early in March.

I offered the commish a guy to take a spot and never heard back. Between that and an absence of draft scheduling, I'm a bit concerned that we may have lost him.

I have taken the liberty of sending an email to the owners of a CBS league I am commissioner of, asking whether anyone is interested in taking one of our two open teams. There are 24 teams in the league, so maybe we will get a bite--but If I shouldn't do that, let me know.
-
I imagine the closer we get to the season, the more difficult it will be to find a draft date that works for everyone. I'm unavailable the last weekend in March, the 5th, and the 12th. Can do any other day.

We still need two owners for Nuke and Saratoga. Working diligently, but no luck so far. Hoping to accomplish this soon, in a week or so. Will keep everyone posted. I would like to hold the draft somewhere in the first two weeks of March.

The league has an interesting past. It started as a league for premium account followers after a website called Scouting The Sally ceased operations, as the owner moved on to writing prospects at FanGraphs. Some prospect writers were among the owners! A couple of the writers are now MLB scouts. Prospects were terribly overvalued in those days. I hung on, more to keep current on fantasy trends and to stay current with this format. Last yr was first year championship didn't seem wide open.
-
Sorry, wrong league. dammit. sorry guys.
-
Just did a little perusing in the Otto community and looked back at some league rankings by Vibber. Did yall know that we scored the 3rd most cumulative points in 2015? I know we talked about our power ranking, but man that is damn awesome guys. Vibber doesnt provide that exact data for 2016, but our league rank did go down (from 14 to 32).
