I'm personally open to either a slow draft or a normal draft. Last year I was a no vote on the slow draft because we were having a baby in March and I just wanted something quicker, simple and familiar. I'm somewhat curious about a slow draft having never done one, though don't have a strong preference either way. That said, unless a majority of the league prefers to switch, I would lean toward defaulting to the status quo...

I'm available after 6 p.m. Eastern.
What is the possibility of doing a slow draft on Couch Managers? I know it was mentioned last year, just wondering if anyone has any different opinions this time. Thanks.

I’m available after 5;30 est on the 15th

Hey everyone, I want to check if there are reasonable options to start a draft other than the typical 5:00 or 5:30 PST (8:00 or 8:30 EST). Could everyone send me a quick message with their general availability during most days, specifically their availability throughout the day on March 15 (either earlier or later), and maybe their time zone for reference? Hoping there might be a time that can work for everyone. Thanks all!

Time of day is almost more important for me than the day itself. 5 - 730 pm, for example, is dinner and kid crazy time before bed. That would be a hard slot for me - no matter the day.

I need to edit my dates, I am not available on the 5th,10th,11th and 19th in the evenings. Open to Feb draft too. Any day in Feb

Note I set the poll for the 3 weeks in March leading up to opening day, but if there's a general preference for an early draft in February, that's an option as well.

Looks like everyone renewed and got their rosters in order on time, thanks all! Time to schedule the draft. Please fill out this Doodle poll so we can narrow down a good day. Note, I set the same time each day, but for a weekend we could probably adjust as needed.

Which means, less than two more days to make trades until cut day, so get those trade blocks updated! :)

Quick reminder, tomorrow at midnight EST (9pm PST) you must have your rosters cut back down to a legal state in preparation for the draft (i.e. 40 or less players and under $400 in cap). There are no additional transactions allowed after that time until after the draft. I'll send out a doodle poll for draft availability in the next few days.

Looks like almost half of the league has renewed for next season already (thanks to those that have!), but just a reminder to please renew ASAP, and that the deadline is January 31. If you aren't planning to renew for any reason, please let us know as soon as possible. Thanks all. Once we get renewals squared away we can start planning the draft!

I have inherited $681 in salary. I obviously will be dumping a boat load of players. Everyone is looking for low cost players prior to the auction. I am more than willing to trade market value players. Take a look at my roster, do you think any of these players costing more than $10 will go for less? If you’re willing to talk trade, make an offer.

Quick reminder, there are 6 days left to complete arbitration. Thanks to those that have already submitted. If you haven't submitted yet, please either do so soon or send me a quick note confirming that you are aware and will submit before the deadline. Thanks all!

One last thing (unless I think of another), hopefully everyone is planning to return next season! If anyone isn't however, please let us know ASAP so we can try to find a new manager in time for them to finalize arbitration as they see fit. Thanks all!

Sorry to see you go Ocho, been fun playing with you the the past ... what ... 4-5 seasons or so! If you could pop in at some point and put in some initial arbitration that would be helpful just in case. Then we'll start working on finding a new manager.

I immensely enjoyed playing, but I am going to quit next year to find out what the extra time of living without Ottoneu will bring me. A sincere thanks to all for a great experience; you are great league mates! If needed, I could do arbitration. If not, please abandon my team…. Thanks!

Congratulations to Club 393 on a resounding victory! Pure dominance wire to wire, and he did it all without making a single trade. This was a lot of fun and I am very much looking forward to the off-season. We've all got a lot of work ahead of us if anyone is going to challenge him in 2023.

Two quick reminders. Wednesday is the last day of the season, which I believe means today is the last day to start auctions that will end in time for players to potentially be kept. Unless there are possible tiebreaker scenarios out there that might bleed into Thursday? Also, everyone must have a legal roster as of the end of the day Wednesday as well (based on each team's own individual number of roster spots and cap space as of that day). Thanks

I know about the penalty free cuts but mid season it seems the bypassing of waivers is unfair to the other teams- at least in terms of the waiver function. Wonder if this has been addressed by niv before
-
There's a rule built into the game that a new manager gets one round of penalty free cuts when they claim a new team. It's always seemed a little wonky when it happens mid-season, as opposed to before the draft when it makes perfect sense, but that's what happened. I can't remember if that manager is allowed to bid on the cuts, or if the 30 day wait period applies though.

Can someone explain all the cuts and why they skipped waivers?
