I already have plenty of drafts on the 16 and 17, so if those are the only dates, I prefer slow draft (it's pretty fun when get the hang of it, easy to join and nominate and follow your bids ( all on the same page)

I prefer live draft either day anytime but will go with majority

I'll be honest, I'm not familiar with doing a slow draft. It's not something that I am interested in but if that is the path the league wants to take, I can give it a shot. So, at this point, I think we need to decide as a leaugue what kind of draft we want. I vote for live draft either the 16th or the 17th. Please respond back on the message board or message me directly. Would really like to nail this down by end of day. Appreciate everyone's patience.

Those dates should all be good for me.

slow draft is fine with me, the 17th, 18th and 15th work well. The 8th would be a bit challenging but I can potentially make it work. the 16th I cannot do.
-
Iโm good with all three of those dates as well, 13th 17th and 18th work well. Iโm also good if we try the couch slow draft.

I suggest we try Couch Managers slow draft this year. I'm in the middle of one now (in fact we've done it a few years running in that league and it runs nice & smoothly)
-
All proposed dates work for me, I have another league draft at 2pm MST on the 17th, but otherwise no conflicts

Messaging a few managers directly, but does anyone have conflict with the 13th, 16th, 17th? The 13th would be a late start on the east coast (after 9:30 est) and the 16th would be an early start on the west coast (9:30 in the AM).
-
Either 8th or 15th work for me. Start time is fine

3/15 mostly sucks, but if it was an hour earlier it would suck less.
-
Any date and time except March 2 good for me

The 15th would work better for me as well actually.

I'm ok with 730 CST start time just need 15th instead
-
I'll be out of town that week. I know it's a week closer until games start, but I counter purpose Friday the 15th instead?
-
Works for me
-
If I could get a Yeah or Neah vote from all managers concerning the draft date and time, it would be much appreciated. Thanks everyone.
-
With all of the input that I have gotten so far, I would like to propose 3/8 (friday evening) at 7:30 CST. The season starts with the Dodgers and Padres in Seoul on March 20th. I think the 8th is late enough in spring training to get a good feel for which players to go after in the draft and it gives time to work trades before the season starts. If there are objections, speak now or forever hold your peace.

Enjoy the Super Bowl with your daughter, that's cool

Just wanted to thank everyone for all of the inputs. I am currently traveling to Oregon for the weekend to watch the superbowl with my daughter. I am watching the message board and trying to put together a sheet to keep it all straight. It may be Monday evening before I can compile everything and have a few dates to vote on. Appreciate the patience. Go Chiefs!!!
-
Being on the opposite side of the globe, I'm usually pretty flexible. Hopefully it doesn't clash with already scheduled auctions (evenings 3/4 & 3/19 EST)
-
I canโt do 02/24, 03/03, or 03/05 - Mondays are typically not great, but I can make it work if needed

I'm not available Saturdays after noon or before 9 Eastern. I'm currently not available in the evenings of 2/25, 3/11, 3/12, 3/14, 3/15 and 3/17.
-
If we are talking late Feb and a weekend then I am available all weekend on the 23-26. Into March I am available the 2nd, 8th and 10th. Week evenings work for me too, most days. I am a shift worker so without listing my whole schedule its tough to narrow down completely. Slow draft might be better for me but I am good with the majority decision. Great to hear the draft talk is starting up!

Very flexible as well, preferably a time after 7CT however
-
Welcome to our new owners! As for draft dates, I'm pretty flexible--just most Mondays and Wednesdays I don't get home from work until about 9:30 ET.
-
No bad dates for me!

I'm also partial to a Slow Draft. The last 2 or 3 years of drafts I've missed either some or all of the draft ๐
-
For me, the absolute best are Friday nights. Anytime after 5 PM PST more specifically.
-
Because of three other drafts 2/25 not great for me but all other days will work

Welcome to all of the new and returning owners. I apologize for not getting on here sooner. It looks like all teams have been claimed and paid up through the year. We are in a much better position than we were at this time last year. Time to talk draft. As the commish, I try to do everything possible to afford everyone the opportunity to live draft. I know we all have busy lives but I hope we can all find a date and can carve out a few hours. Can we start with absolute no-go dates first?
-
Any idea when the draft is going to be?

Hey everyone, I have claimed Akagi. My predecessor left an excellent roster behind, so I hope to extend the success realized last year. This will be my first time playing Ottoneu, but have been a heavy dynasty fantasy player, so I'm looking forward to the new season!

Hello everyone - I'm Steve - I claimed Abandoned. I'm a long time Fantasy Baseball guy - since 1988. My dad was a broadcaster for the Atlanta Braves for 33 years, so I have a love of baseball and baseball numbers. Looking forward to playing in your league.

Too many things going on in my life, got to bring down number of Ottoneu leagues, so please abandon this team.

Update: Ozzie has also been abandoned. Holding off on Akagi for the time being just in case someone has a prospective manager to take over before making it public.
-
League update. OPL messaged me and has now been marked as abandoned. Akagi has also stated that they would be leaving the league as well. If anyone knows someone interested in picking up a quality team, let me know and I can mark that team as abandoned as well to let the new owner take over as soon as possible. Once again, thanks to everyone for an active and successful season.
-
Glad I could get as close as it wound up being! Congrats to Meat Tornadoes. Hope everyone enjoys October baseball. If it helps for planning next season, I am planning to bow out and exit (cutting down to just my first Ottoneu league). Willing to stay on through arbitration setting or however works best. I imagine an Acuna led team will be in high demand. Thanks everyone for a fun season! Also I am glad to see that there were a lot of bidders on the last weekend, a healthy league!

Thanks! Really had some squeaky bum time down the stretch thanks to Akagi. Looks like we're set up for some fierce competition next year, but I don't intend to relinquish the crown without a fight!
-
Great race between the Meat Tornados and Akagi Junior High. Both teams played very well this year.
-
Congrats to Meat Tornadoes on a well-earned League Title! Very solid, well-rounded team that had staying power. Also, props to Akagi Jr. High for making it closer than anyone expected with a frenzied run down the stretch!
-
Personally, I don't get "auction spam" because I must've adjusted the settings that way years ago. Might just need to double-check that such things are under owners' control.
-
I hate to lose any owner but if the league isnโt for you then itโs probably for the best. I disagree that the auction board is โspamโ. This is the time of year that guys are making moves and looking to the future. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for a good season and ask the league, if anyone else is looking to move on from the league, please let me know so I can look for new owners. Thanks everyone.
-
Iโm quitting this league after this season. The auction spam is unbearable
