yeah, I think we certainly got a little over-excited LOL.. That said, I just think Houston will need him going forward, since JV and Lance McC aren't exactly made of steel and their young guys could stumble.. and if Ronel comes back down to earth hard, he's 10 bucks for a rainy day
-
$20 Ronel Blanco??? We have to be the max on him

Yes, vote off players could be bid on by anyone.
-
OK thanks, didn't remember he was the voted off guy. Question - were we allowed to bid on the voted off players during CM process? I guess so if three teams got their cut off guys

Because Bellinger was the vote off player from your team. When I went to finish the draft, the vote off players reverted to their teams from last year, so I had to manually move them to the teams that won them in the couchmanagers auction. In three cases, that was the same team. However, that was not the case with Bellinger. So he was cut from your team and placed on the team that won him in the couchmanagers auction, which was my team for $30.
-
Can I know why Bellinger was cut from my roster by Commish?

Okay, sorry about that. We should be good to go now. I've learned quite a few things about slow drafts and vote off leagues. I've double checked numbers and overall salaries. They match between here and couchmanagers. Please check your rosters to be sure nothing really wonky has happened. But I think you are free to start auctions, make trades, cut players etc. Thank you all for your patience in this.
-
Don't make any trades or auctions for the moment. The vote off players have reacted unpredictably, and I have to do some more fixing.
-
I believe we are finished the draft. Chief, either you can temporarily make me a co-commissioner or I can walk you through the procedure for importing the results back to Ottoneu.
-
Thanks for handling that

Temporarily deleting the player from the team I meant to say.
-
It will involve temporarily deleting the player and manually awarding the player at a salary 5 dollars less.
-
I have a list. I will apply the discount as soon as I can.
-
Was a list created of the player that was voted off for each team so if they are resigned the $5 discount can be entered or is it on the honor system?

The slow draft at couchmanagers is live. Have fun.
-
It will take awhile but multiple players are nominated at one time. Some players could take a few days if people keep making late bids as it resets timer to 8 hours I think when that happens but we will finish in a week or so

There are 30 plus nominations going at once. Once a player auction time drops below 12 hours, the auction only resets to 8 hours. As we get farther along in the draft, the auction time will drop. I've never seen one of these drafts go beyond two weeks.
-
That works for me. I’ll post my question over here as well, but my reading of the settings are that each nomination will be 12 hours. If so, I don’t think we are getting through this draft before the season starts

Okay, I've imported Big Papi's team into the draft room. We can start any time. Currently the couchmanagers site is running very slowly and there's a banner at the top of it saying "Working on improving site performance". I have to step out for the afternoon in an hour. How about we start at 10 AM EST tomorrow?
-
yes I am DelTropo!
-
Sorry guys if I slowed down the slow draft, was in and out of doctor the last two days, I joined a couple of minutes ago

I believe you are correct. I messaged Papi to see whats up. I'm hoping we can get the draft started by tomorrow and have the weekend to get things really rolling. Big thanks to Blues for putting this together and to the rest of the league for coming to a decision and hopefully making this draft happen.
-
Process of elimination says deltropo is Saigon. If that's true, we're just waiting on Big Papi.
-
Saigon, is deltropo you?
-
OK I'm in now too... Just 2 more owners left
-
Whew, thank you. That worked

Ok, I signed up for the Couch managers website, have the password, and I still can not get into this draft? The link above takes me to a whole different league. There is no search function to find the right league. I honestly am lost.

Gotta work a little late tonight but when I get home I am going to register and join the group.
-
Players have been imported for the four teams registered in our draft room.
-
The five dollars will have to be taken off the player's salary manually.
-
Registered in Couch Managers. Only question I have is about the player voted off our teams and how that will work through Couch Managers since in Ottoneu we get an automatic $5 discount for that player if we get him at auction.

Sorry about the password. It’s 24Gulps

I’m also waiting on the password for our private draft.

Just saw this one posted in Ottoneu Slack.. nice to have a look at current values etc. (though each league kinda has its own unique economy)
-
I registered for the couch draft site but can’t join our draft until I have the password. Let me know and I can take the next step. Thanks for doing this, should be fun.

And for anyone still reluctant, I'd suggest giving this a go as an alternative experience (Big Gulps is just a fun league --free league!) -- add slow draft to your toolkit lol
-
what's the password?
-
Thanks for all your help Blues! You a real one! I'm logged on and all set to join.
What's the password for our League Action? It's asking me for it in order to join the auction.
Again, thanks for all of your help man! I'm excited for everyone to get draftin'!
-
We don’t have to go forward with this - I’m just letting you see what it looks like.
-
I’ve set up the slow auction room at couchmanagers: https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/?auction_id=768
If I could get you to log into couchmanagers, go to the room and enter yourself as one of the teams, that would be great. I could then start to import your players tomorrow.
-
At this point 9 managers have either voted in favor of or said they were open to the slow draft. I consider that a strong majority and vote that we move forward with it. I have messaged Blues to see what help he is willing to give me, as I am a newbie to this process. I will post more info soon and hopefully we can start the bidding.
-
I know nothing about the slow draft process but if that is the league consensus, then let's get this party started.

I prefer slow drafts. I will help set up a slow draft if you'd like. For regular drafts: the 16th if it starts before noon CST or after 7 PM CST. The 17th if it starts before 3 PM CST.
