I’m down for a slow draft but not sure how it works with an auction

I haven’t done a slow draft, but it looks fun. I’d be down to give it a try if we’re all on board

I would like to try a slow draft
-
I haven't done a slow draft but could be interesting. If we go the slow route would probably want to start sooner rather than later. For instance, the draft in my other Otto league is live and basically one week before Spring Training ends. Won't be able to start a slow draft that late. Could leave teams open to drafting players injured during Spring Training.

I can do either but the slow draft has my vote. I haven't done an auction one, but I did a couple slow snake drafts and they are some of the most fun I've had playing fantasy.
-
Alternately, I did a slow draft for the first time last year and it could be a great solution for our many time zones and busy lives. Let me know if you'd prefer a slow over live draft and if we have a critical mass that is an avenue we can take. There's currently another ottoneu league drafting on the public site so you can check it out to see how it works here: https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/?auction_id=373

Thanks for making cuts, everyone! I'm checking in with the two teams that missed the deadline. In the meantime, we can start coordinating draft date. I've created a doodle below to help with recording availability - please enter your responses as soon as you are able so we can lock something in. https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/bDqWvjKd

Well boys - I've cut dang near everyone. Going to be a wild draft!

Welcome aboard, Donkey! Reminder to all that tomorrow (1/31) is the keeper deadline. Get your cuts in!
-
It might take more than a year to turn this team around - seems pretty neglected.

Welcome to the league, Donkey Hote. You will find many windmills to fight here.
-
Hey guys - happy to join this league. I'm an experienced Otto player in Texas. My other league is going into its 5th year. Good luck and I'll get my cuts in before the deadline. Looking forward to getting to know y'all and a fun year.

Additionally, remember that January 31 is the deadline to make penalty-free cuts and re-up for this season. If you haven't re-upped, you should see a bright red banner at the top of your ottoneu screen with a link to do so. Thanks!
-
Drewville let me know he doesn't plan on continuing in the league, so we have a team available heading into the keeper deadline. If we don't find a manager in time, we'll allow one pre-draft round of penalty-free cuts once someone is on board.
-
Sending this quick reminder that we have a little less than 2 weeks left to make penalty-free cuts for the upcoming season.
-
Welp. I missed it too. I consider myself a fairly active participant in the league, but this November deadline caught me.
-
Sorry I missed the allocation deadline. I never missed one. I haven't been active since the end of the season and was not aware of this deadline. Being in the European timezone, I also missed last nights reminder.

Are we moving on from teams who don’t do arb? It’d be nice to have an active trade season!
-
Still 4 teams needing to make allocations by tonight’s deadline!
-
Congratulations to Jose, Sandy and the Hardheads, leaders of the world this year.
-
Congrats! And thanks for posting the timeline. Always takes me a minute to find it.
-
Wednesday, 10/12: Cap penalties will be removed, loans will be removed, and default salary increases will be added to player’s salaries.
Saturday, 10/15: Arbitration opens up. The season rolls over to 2023, which means position eligibilities for 2023 will be reflected on the site and trophies will be added to team trophy cases.
Monday, 11/14: Arbitration deadline.

Talk about a photo finish, I’m still surprised I snuck into the lead in the final week! Was a truly fun and competitive race all summer long and already looking forward to decisions about how to compete again next year. To that end, upcoming dates of note:
-
Same here — what an exciting finish!

congratulations Jose on the title! thanks to you and Sandy Land for making it a great close finish.
-
I’ll definitely be back next year. With the exception of my inexplicable decision to throw Bradish against a good Sawx offense with a tight lead on ERA late in the season, it’s been a fun year with this league! Everyone’s cordial and great to work with. Hope to see you all back next season. Thanks for your hard work, Commish!

It’s also looking quite likely we’ll have three new league season records set this year: SB (Albhaino), Wins (Sandy Land), ERA (a few contenders).
-
Hi All, we’ve got a really tight three way race for the championship this season with eight days left! It’s been so close all summer so a fitting end to the year. After the season ends ottoneu will give us a short break for the MLB playoffs before offseason actions start with allocations in early November. If you know now you won’t be returning next year, let me know so we can strategize about timing for looking for a new manager to ensure we get allocations and keeper decisions squared away.
-
FIRESALE at The Futures Game! No player is safe. Do you like Carlos Correa? Well I don't! Come and get him.
-
Hi all, the manager of Sl8r let me know he didn't plan to continue in the league and asked to be removed as owner. I posted on the community forum and fortunately, a new owner responded right away. Welcome to the new owner of Sl8r and enjoy getting acquainted with your new team!
-
Excited to announce I have 12 - 12! - players on the injured list. Is that a league record?
-
Been there myself before. I added Garcia back, so you should be free to cut whichever player you'd like now.
-
We are living in a society!
MERCY!
-
I’m for giving mercy. I’ve made this mistake too.
-
Asking for mercy, just cut luis garcia but meant to cut will smith.....
-
Looking for a 2B. Outfielders and/or 1B available for one.
-
3 days to Opening Day! Hoping my Nationals can stay under 100 losses this season and all of your favorite teams do, too.
-
So much for my $30 deGrom bargain buy…. Anyone looking to build for the future and wants to stash him, hit me up!
-
Sending a notification as a 10 minute warning for the draft.
-
Hope to see everyone for tomorrow's draft! Happy prepping.
-
Saturday March 19 at 1pm Eastern appears to work for all 9 doodle respondents. I believe only Dead Money, Albhaino, and Slater haven’t responded. For those three, any of you definitely unable to do that time? Otherwise let’s lock this in.
-
I currently have no weekend drafts scheduled. So I can make any of those dates work. In the rare case something comes up, I'll get a proxy to draft.
-
The link again: https://doodle.com/poll/ix93hgtkvckx6hpy?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link

Actually, since we’re closer to the dates of a draft now, could everyone revisit their selections and be as flexible as you’re able with what times might work? I’ve also added an additional weekend since games are pushed back. Futures, I think you may have also only completed the first week of the poll. So far we have two times on Sat March 19 that work (I think) for all but one team but I’d love to find one good for all.
-
Well, call me a monkey’s uncle. I thought we’d be waiting until June for games. Yeah, let’s schedule a draft! I’ll give the doodle another look over.
-
Any probable date for draft yet?
-
Thanks a lot, Manfred. https://twitter.com/JeffPassan/status/1498783115103326213

Thanks -- I'm excited to get the season started! Filled out my portion of the Doodle poll.

Welcome, Sandy Land! We’re back to full up for this season so everyone be sure to complete the doodle to input availability for a draft in March. Assuming the CBA negotiations conclude by the Feb28 deadline, I’d like to get a plan together before calendars start to fill with other obligations. Thanks!
-
Welcome! Yes, the previous owner did not renew so the team is all yours. We don't have an additional prospect roster or buy-in outside the $20 ottoneu registration. Beyond that, active participation throughout the year is the only expectation. We've not scheduled a draft yet, though I'm collecting availability here: https://doodle.com/poll/ix93hgtkvckx6hpy?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=l. We have managers in Asia, Europe, and N. America this season so a slow draft is a potential option.
