Do we know what day the draft starts?

Here's the link to the draft:
https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/index.php?auction_id=511
The password is "772draft"
As people join over the course of the week I'll upload rosters. I know there were varying opinions on how long the auction length / extension should be: we'll hammer that out over the course of the week.
-
Alright folks, no time really worked for everyone, so we'll do a slow draft. They take a little time to run, so I figure I'll start it next Saturday at noon Eastern. I'll set everything up tomorrow and send out links and info.
-
I think my preference would be a slow draft as opposed to a weekday draft.

Hi again everyone! A couple people reached out with zero weekend availability, unfortunately. I put a second poll together to see if we might be able to swing a weeknight evening. The times on the poll are Eastern Time, so I figure the only possibility that will work out will be around 830 Eastern, considering our west coast folks. It'd be late but I'd be willing. If this doesn't pan out, we'll do a slow draft again.

I think we should try to do a live draft this year, if we can. Here's attempt #1 at a poll:

I thought I'd start with weekends, and put a range of times with the understanding that we'd want to finish any draft we have by about 10 PM ET. (And I didn't go to early because we have quite a few folks on the west coast.)

Reminder to make cuts! Today is the last day.

Welcome Rake!

(Of course, it goes without saying: the team cannot be claimed not by anyone already in this league, lest we have a Yankees-Kansas City A's-in-the-1950's situation. But we should be welcoming a new league member shortly.)
-
Seatown has been abandoned and may be claimed!
-
Don't forget to renew your subscriptions, everyone! Also, absent objection, I'm going to designate Seatown's team as abandoned. He hasn't been active since June. Depending on who takes over and when, this could mean that more players enter the FA pool after the keeper deadline (which could affect how you all decide to budget).
-
A controversial prediction, Shock. I'm going to go with Los Angeles... 😇
-
I predict a repeat for the Astros this season.

Anyone know someone who might want to take Seatown's team? He didn't participate in arbitration (or respond to my November message asking if he planned to return) so I assume he's not coming back.
-
I would like to say congrats to the Astros for their World Series victory.

Here's my very specific trade target - I would like to find an outfielder who is in the $10-20 range for trade. Let me know if you have something that matches that that you're willing to move.

I'm returning. Trade block is updated with the guys I'm most interested in moving. Standard obligatory 'everyone is available for the right price' comment.

Arbitration ends tomorrow! Only a couple of stragglers left.
-
About one week left for arbitration!

I will be back.

I'll be back and thanks for running the show.
-
I appreciate that, Colonic! And thanks for keeping this league up and running, even though time has been a scarce commodity lately. I hope the new job is going well and does afford you more time to be at your best in the league.

My apologies for falling short of a few playing time marks this year (and the last couple years). I started a new job that should give me the time to be a more active participant/commissioner in seasons to come. I'm excited for arbitration and the rest of the offseason (hard to believe we've had it going for six years now!). And as always, let me know if you're planning to come back!
-
Congrats on another strong showing from our reigning champion! And congrats to Schrute for putting such consistently impressive teams together - you've been top three for five straight years!
-
Congrats to the Champ!
-
Well, Ranger Suarez is making this a bit more interesting, Schrute.
-
Congrats on making it 2 in a row, Highlands! First to do it in our burgeoning league. Burgeoning!

Just noticing your post, Colonic. But yeah, I assumed the game was over but caught the situation as I was checking stats. Turned the game on just in time to see Yaz’s blast. My first reaction was elation. My second one was, Oh man who had Hader?
-
Any Giants fans catch the walk-off grand slam last night? Hader earned me a cool -50 pts, so I'm hoping there was some real-life joy out there to offset my losses.
-
I can't even be terrible properly :/

Excellent reverse jinx from Fidelio
-
The more I try, the less ground I make up, so I think I'm open for business. While I make it a habit to never say someone is truly off the table, some guys are more 'on the table' than others. Looking for 2023 value, I think I can turn this around next year.

Happy opening day!
-
I think Commish has to click on the "done draft" Ottoneu thinks we are still drafting. So no trade/rosters changes.
-
Same here, Say-Hey.

Are we not allowed to trade? I get a message that says rosters are locked and trades cannot be made!

Alright, I imported everyone's rosters. There were 4 minor league guys that gave "bad data errors," so I added those manually. Let me know if there are any errors!
-
Stopping the timer every night is prolonging this draft. A slow draft is already too drawn out. Can we please allow the timer to run 24/7 going forward?

Draft is live! Every draft lasts a minimum 24 hours (hopefully dispersing the effect of the disruption) but I am sorry about the delayed start..
-
I have 30 minutes and then I will be unable to participate for 8 hours. It’s disappointing because I planned my life around today’s 10am Pacific start time. It seems as though one team has no problem inconveniencing the rest of the league; TWICE!

I’m at a one year old’s bday party, but I logged in on Seatown’s behalf. I sent him the login info. Duda will upload his keepers and start the draft (because I can’t get to a PC!)
-
So, what’s the latest news on the draft?

I still don’t seem to be able to nominte anyone in the draft. I get an error message saying it hasn’t started

Last call for Seatown to join! What I'll do is, if he's not here by 4 ET, I'll join for him so I can upload his team. That way we can all get started, with minimal delay (and I'll send him the login info).
-
Good morning. I got on the couch managers sight. Not sure how to transfer my team to it. I will be in and out today. I have a funeral at 1:00 and I have to feed the family afterwards.

Still missing Fideliio, Seatown, and Shocknawe, I think..
-
Reminder for everyone to join! We’ll shoot to start on Sunday at, say, 1 PM ET (and since it’s a long auction, we don’t all have to be present to start - as long as we’ve all joined the auction!)
