One renewal to go, then we are officially full for 2024. I will create a slow auction for us and send out the link with password. Once we are full we can talk auction timing. The nice thing about a slow draft is that we do not need to do a survey to identify one time slot. Thanks, everyone!
-
Just a reminder to please renew for the 2024 season. We are close to going live for auctions!
-
Ok, if anyone has reservations about the slow auction, please contact me. Otherwise I will set up the page and send out the password and information here. Thanks, everyone.
-
I am good with a slow draft. Works much better for my schedule.

Fast or slow, pre- or post-spring training, are all good with the new guy. Only bad date for me is 3/10, other than that, whatever works better for others is good for NBo...
-
Commish, thanks for the quick response. I like the idea of a slow auction as I believe more people would be able to participate over the time period than it would be to getting all 12 people scheduled for the same day and time for a fast auction.

To steal a line from Futurama - I have no strong feelings one way or the other
-
Yes, I would probably start the auction timer at 24 hours and shorten it as the auction progresses. Electric City: there are several options for overnight bids, including an overnight freeze. Another option is to add additional time to the auction in the event that someone is outbid within the last hour of the draft. That added time can be whatever we want, with eight or nine hours being typical.
-
I'm fine with either. With this much notice I can make pretty much anything work. FWIW, I've done Ottoneu slow drafts before and they are a very good alternative to the normal draft. As I recall we had the league setting for the winning bid at something like 24 hours, meaning the bid had to stand as the high bid for 24 hours for the team to win the auction on the player.
-
Commish, I work night shifts during the weekdays (Monday thru Friday nights) and would prefer a weekend if we do a classic/fast auction. If we go the slow auction route, what would be the time interval between a winning bid and the second place bid; in other words, how long must a bid stand before it is declared the winning bid?

Being full, let's talk auction scheduling. If people are interested in a slow auction, I set one up for another league and feel comfortable with the process. It is an easy alternative for scheduling. But if we are fans of the classic auction, let's get it on the books. Spring Training begins Feb 22. Non-Opening Day is March 20 this year, with the games in Korea. My preference is for an early auction...before Spring Training, even. But let's get some other opinions and start a conversation.

Just wanted to say thanks for the welcome 1.06ers! I'll definitely reach out to you guys if I find myself in the metaphorical woods as we go along. I'm new to Ottoneu but I've played fantasy for about 20 years (played Game Day Ritual forever--anybody else miss GDR?) so hopefully a not-too-hard transition! Also, love that the league is 6 years old--great to join a stable league so you can build your team over time...john

Great to have you join us, John. It is an awesome league with lots of activity. If you have any questions, reach out to us.

Another reminder that tomorrow is the last day for arb.
-
Friendly reminder: seven days left for arbitration. It would be great to have 100% participation. Cheers, everyone!
-
We are full up for arbitration! Thanks, everyone.
-
Welcome!

Hey, I just joined the league, a buddy of mine that I work with was showing me this league and decided I would join when this team became available.
-
Congrats to the champ! Thanks for letting me take over this team. Looking forward to another fun season next year!

Congrats to Hayden Sidd Finch on the back-to-back title defense. And three in four seasons!
And thanks, everyone, for a good season. Lots of engagement all the way through the end of season!
Arbitration should begin in a couple weeks, and I would love to have 100% participation. If you will not return next season and want to leave pre-arb, please let me know.
Enjoy playoff baseball!

What time is it? Whoop! Whoop! It's Elly De La Cruz time, ya'll!

This team ain't it. Time to sell. Willing to sell current value and loans for future value.

Betts is on the market. One GS away from SS eligibility!

All Proofs, thanks for taking on your new team, you have plenty of time to right the ship.

Welcome to the league All Proofs!

CKFROMSFV had to step away from fantasy baseball, and has been replaced by KKOSSICK as owner of What's That Snell.

Good to hear you are well. This storm system is intense.

I live in Arkansas and my phone and internet is down because of the storms. I’m at a McDonald’s twenty miles from my home.

I'm 59 yrs old and she is 54 years old so we are not spring chickens for sure. lol We challenged each other early in our relationship to come up with fun and spontaneous dates/outings that would bring back a little bit of the spirit of our young adulthood. Maricela is an amazing lady who has captured my heart, and is the reason for my smile nowadays.

My apologies for missing the auction/draft. My fairly new girlfriend wanted a surprise weekend get-away to the mountains after I got off work Saturday morning.
-
Thanks for a great draft, everyone. Rosters are unlocked. Good luck this season!
-
Draft is beginning. Still waiting for two, in case anyone mis-remembered the start time. We will wait for a few minutes and then begin.
-
Sorry to hear, Big Papi. We have another manager, Napalm Bombs, who also cannot attend. See everyone else tonight. Or, at least, see the digital representations of your being.
-
Won't be able to make it early for draft tomorrow night, have tickets for months for a show, was hoping date would change but it didn't. Good draft and GL to all

Ok, draft time has changed. We are now scheduled for Saturday, March 25, 8pm EST. Thanks everyone.

A Draft time change to 8 pm (EST) is good for me.
-
Time change is ok. Looking forward to our draft. Thanks for your hard work.

Our draft is scheduled for 4pm PST. Sounds like you will be able to draft beginning 5pm PST (8pm EST). Is that fair?
I am fine moving the draft back an hour. Anyone have a strong objection?
