(2/3) I plan to stick around until the transition is settled so that the league is left in a good place. We had a lot of necessary turnover to bring new owners in here and spice up the league a bit. This is a great league with a great group of people and I'll miss competing with y'all here to bring another trophy to the Oysters. I'll do my best to find a solid replacement owner from the community to carry the torch, as well as someone for Fairhaven unless y'all have any names (let us know!)

(1/3) Hi all, mmaude here from Oysters. Just wanted to share that I'm planning to leave this league ahead of the 2023 season (as well as co-owner slow, an absent owner all throughout 2022 but brought tremendous vibes). This also means I'll be departing as co-commissioner. I can work on finding my own replacement within Slack (and get someone willing to Co-Commish w/ Moon Shots) but if there are any volunteers to partner with Moon Shots please reach out. Note we also need a replacement for FHVN

Is the plan to use the slow draft again in 2023?

Thanks, guys! Great run by Stu's Crew there at the end - and I lost a couple other leagues in the last week of the season after maxing out GS and IP, so it feels like I was just saved by the bell! lol

It was an expensive Trout. I think that was the only way he was going to leave Dreidel City and showcase his talents before free agency this next winter.

I’ve never seen a loan for $100+.

Thanks for the heads up Fairhaven, sorry to hear you're leaving, and hope for all the best for ya! Feel free to reach out if you ever want/are available to rejoin, would love to have ya back if you want in the future. League - i may have a replacement available, so i'll reach out to them

Hey all, unfortunately I’m going to have to bail on my team. Suddenly life got very busy and I don’t have time to devote to remaining competitive. I will abandon my team so a new owner can take over. Best of luck to all!

Hands up if you're the massive idiot who meant to auction off Taylor Ward but ended up auctioning off Tyler Wade

Good luck this year, everyone!

hey folks, i have (hopefully) imported everyone from our auction draft, we're now officially in the preseason! thanks for a fun draft, and i'm glad we had positive feedback on the draft, will definitely have it as a strong option for next year.. please review your rosters and let me know if you see any discrepancies, everything gets imported from a CSV so there shouldn't be any fat-finger errors, but just let me know
-
If you want to discuss trades or start auctions on non-drafted players, I’m ok with starting all that now (if the system lets ya 👍)
-
Will import later today, sorry for the hold up
-
Really enjoyed drafting this way. I may make 1 more nomination this afternoon when I get home. Thanks for organizing this.
-
I agree, this ended up being an enjoyable way to draft. Thanks for setting it all up!

Well, this draft was both maddeningly slow and shockingly quick! Thanks for organizing, Oyster. This is such a great way to bridge the time zones. I was skeptical, but am converted.

My impression was that wording applied to the initial auction draft only (i'm completing one in another league and trades are locked in Ottoneu whereas they aren't here). No stress, happy to follow the rules but was just surprised we couldn't.
-
The rules allow trade discussion during the auction:
"You may not make any trades during the draft. Trade discussion is acceptable, however no trades can be processed or acted upon from the time the first player goes on auction until teams involved in the trade both have full rosters as defined above"
But given the the length of our auction, trade talk might distort our behavior more than during a traditional auction. I can understand having a lid on trade ta

Any reason why?

Please no trading until after the draft, thanks!

Hi all, I have a surplus of 3B. Josh Donaldson, Justin Turner and Kebryan Hayes. If you need a 3B and don't make it out of the auction with one let me know. I'm willing to part with them in that order. Keen on almost any other position.
-
Great. Thank you. I prefer not to be up all night. 👍

There is a text box on the right-hand side of the draft room that explains the Max Bid process. Basically, you make certain that the "make max bid your real bid" box is unchecked, then enter your bid in the black text box for where you would normally enter a bid. I tried it already, works great. My bid went one dollar higher than the current high bid, and my "max bid" was hidden from the draft room (it will display for you, in the block "bid" box".

Ok. So how do I set a max bid and what does it mean to make your max bid your real bid?

you can set a max bid, and you'll only pay for $1+ the next highest bid, you won't be on the hook for your whole max bid unless someone else bids you up to that point.. thanks
-
Many of these auctions end when I'm sleeping. Can I set a maximum bid on a player and if I do am I on the hook for that whole bid even if the next closest bid is $10 less?

Good morning! I have now started the slow draft, you may begin nominating players for auction. please let me know if you have any questions, and good luck!! (note: i validated salaries on all teams so it should be accurate, even lux)
-
G’day folks, just a heads up I won’t make my moms for a few hours after the auction opens as it’ll be 3am my time when it starts. Also please don’t outbid me on my guys, that would be great, thanks

We are doing 24 auctions at once in another league I'm in. It's working great and there's enough pace. We just ping people on Discord when their nomination turn comes up, as there's no notification from Couch Managers as push notifications weren't invented when the website was designed in late 1996.
-
@Tonic I plan to keep a close eye on pace and can adjust timers / # of concurrent auctions if we need to speed up, but hope not to. I've been reading up in the forums and people recommended starting with two nom's per team instead of one, so I'm going to do that (so we'll have 24 auctions going at once) which will hopefully keep things quick. @Fairhaen, yeah I think we stick w/ slow draft this year, love live drafts but we have teams all over the world here.. will revisit for 2023. thanks
