Sandy Trout: I was skeptical of the slow draft at first, now I love them. We don't need to wrangle 12 schedules is a big thing.

I’m happy with either draft. I’ve done both kinds.
-
Also in favor of slow draft

I vote in favor strictly because it makes A Sandy Trout uncomfortable.
-
A vote in favor, thank you.
-
We’d prefer a fast draft. Strictly because we’ve never drafted slow before
-
I am also in favor, as I mentioned it was a unique selling point of this league for me.

I'm heavily in favor of a slow draft over a fast one!
-
Also, does anybody have an objection to doing a slow draft this season? It seems as if we have momentum towards the slow draft. If anyone would like to further discuss this please let us know.

Thank you to Sandpipers. That was an excellent explanation on what to expect from a Slow Draft.

How about we all take a week or two to digest all the Slow Draft information and then take a vote on whether that is the direction we want to go. Post any questions or concerns on the message board and we'll try to answer them.

Oh man, slow drafts are great. There are different parameters you can set, but the two I have done were similar:
(1) Each team can have two active nominations.
(2) everyone with roster space can bid on any active nomination, up to their roster and cap limits
(3) nominations run for 24 hours, and then can be shortened toward the end of the draft
(4) you set your bid, along with a hidden max price, and the auction will automatically up your bid as other managers rais

(5) if someone enters a winning bid close to the auctions scheduled end (like, say, one hour left), another set amount of time is automatically added to the auction. This is fantastic for sleep, and along if we have managers in outside the Americas
(6) it requires a decent amount of front-end work to load rosters into the auction system
(7) your rosters and cap space are automatically updated as you win bids.

I like the idea of a slow draft -- how does that actually work?
-
Thank you. The idea of the slow auction and all the offseason activity has sold me on this league. Excited to get to work on this team!

I have done slow drafts before and I think they are great. I would say yes to a slow draft.

Sounds good! How do people feel about the option of a slow auction? That way we don't necessarily have to find one day when everybody is free.

The action lately has been fast and furious. We need the MLB network to commentate on our league's hot stove action. We still need one more owner. It's a VERY good team so it shouldn't take to long to fill. When it does we will start discussing a draft date. I personally like earlier drafts but we can discuss that later.

Just a reminder that arbitration ends tomorrow. Wednesday opens up trading season which continues into January. Update your trade block so we can have an eventful couple of months. At some point we can look into setting a draft date that works for everyone. We currently are short two owners. Hopefully we get those teams filled sooner than later. Good luck everyone.

Hello all. F.Y.I., myself and Sandpipers will be co-commissioners for the upcoming season. Arbitration is due by the end of next Tuesday. Please make sure that you complete that. Remember, up to the deadline you can always go back and make changes if you choose to. We have one team to fill yet, with the assumption that everyone else is returning for 2024. Enjoy the upcoming trade season.

If no one has any objections I'll take over as commissioner. I would need someone to go in Commish tools to include me as a commissioner. I would then remove everyone else from the commissioner roll and then take over the job.

Hello All. I know that I'm new to the league and am not the best option for commissioner but I have been doing Ottoneu for several years now and do have experience as a league commissioner. If nobody wants the responsibility then I will volunteer my services to take over the roll of commissioner.

How do would I get my winnings if PayPal is not working? I got a email and they didn’t explain what I wanted to know

I don't want to be manager. But I did post in the forums to try and get the league filled before arbitration.
