Sorry, Spanky's. I could have been more clear/worded that wrong. You can draft to your bench while you have "starting" slots open. You just can't get an extra bench spot by leaving a starting slot open. For example, at the end of the draft, if you only drafted one catcher and tried to use that 2nd catcher slot for another position.
-
Thanks for sending this out! A quick question though. We have to fill starting spots prior to bench? So as an example I currently don’t have a second baseman/ second catcher. If someone I want doesn’t get put out there or I miss out on a guy and want to wait for like a $1 2b or C from what you said I can’t bud on higher end guys? If that’s correct seems like a disadvantage. I know when we draft on Otto this rule isn’t there
-
Hi all, I just sent an email with an update and more details on the draft. Let me know if you have any questions. Cheers.
-
My goal is to get rosters up today. Stay tuned!
-
Looks like we have everyone! Any chance we can get rosters etc in today? I’m heading out of totem first thing tomorrow so wanted to familiarize myself with so when rosters are there best I can. Thank you
-
Thanks for the tip regarding name change, I updated my team name. I tried the settings way previously but it didn't update it in the draft room.

On a desktop, in the bottom right of your the screen (in very small print!), is an edit team name button. It took me sometime to find it. On mobile, you can find it in the settings tab. I’m traveling today, but will follow up on remaining stragglers by tomorrow..

We are missing two teams, I'm Canuck Madness since I have two drafts in couch managers with two different team names and I don't think I can have two different names on there. Anyhow, who we missing?
-
Draft begins Monday, March 13.
-
when does the draft begin?
-
If you haven't already, please go to this website (https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/?auction_id=471) and join the league auction. If you don't have a couchmanager account, please create one and then join. When you hit "join" you will be prompted for a password, that password is Ottoneu.
Once I have all managers joined on the website, I can upload rosters to the couchmanager site.
Thanks!
-
Hey all. I just sent everyone an email about next steps for the auction. Let me know if you didn’t get it or have questions.
-
Great news, and thanks for switching to a slow draft on Couch! Co-manged teams will appreciate this the most I feel; plenty of time to discuss a player and assess your budget.
Keep it up Commish!
-
Will do. I’ve found CouchManagers easy to use on mobile devices. So there’s flexibility for anyone not close to their computer.
-
Love it! As soon as you can send it out. I will be starting the draft while on vacation so would love to get as familiar as I can before leaving

Hey all. I am circling back to confirm auction plans: We'll be drafting via a CouchManagers slow online draft beginning Monday, March 13. I'll follow up with details and instructions closer to the start. Cheers.
-
I'm traveling from March 3-12 so would be ideal for me to have this post 12th.

Learning more about it, seems like a very cool option that gives ample flexibility and time, appreciate everyone's input and Ballad and I will work on finalizing details. If there are objections please speak up soon. I imagine if someone is out of town for a significant stretch of time in mid-late March this may not be ideal

No issues with a slow draft from me, but never done a slow draft auction style but willing to learn

I also have another league that has always drafted on CouchMangers and it works great. I haven’t heard anyone opposed to a slow draft, so that seems like a good option. I’ll pull together details and circle back this week. But I expect we would plan to begin 2-3 weeks in advance of the regular season. Cheers.
-
Aligned with a slow draft on our end
-
Awesome! makes sense to me

We are shooting for the 13th of March. Then it’s 2 nominations per person for the first 50, then go to 3 nominations per team. We are drafting around 150 players. Leaves plenty of time.
-
I agree. I'm in a slow draft on couch managers in my other league and I think it goes very well. Would prefer this option over a live draft if most agree.
-
How long do we have to give ourselves for a couch draft to be ready by opening day? 2 weeks?

I am in an Ottoneu with couch and it is flawless. Plus like mentioned, it gives everyone ample time to decide on a player
-
1. Just added my times. Didn’t pick most of the 10pm slots simply because I wouldn’t want to start then but think continuing then is fine.
2. Didn’t pick Fridays or Saturdays but can probably be flexible if that works the best.
3. Open to slow draft. Looks like couch managers has some Ottoneu drafts.
4. While drafting closer to Opening Day is theoretically preferred also don’t want to get into a bind on dates so let’s draft when we can.
-
Couch manager is pretty solid. 12 hours once a player is nominated, but pauses overnight to give everyone a chance and avoid 3am sniping
-
A slow draft sounds more reasonable. Gives us all time...Never heard of couch managers but a previous league gave us hour slots throughout the day for initial picks then reduced to thirty minutes. Granted wasn't for auction so not sure how that works

Based on current responses to the Doodle, we may need to consider a slow draft. A number of managers have indicated they have very limited availability.
-
I will go and vote on the doodle today, but just a thought, have we considered a slow draft via couch managers?
-
As I learned through a poll for another league, Doodle will adjust and show things in whatever your local time zone is.
-
Correct. All are Eastern time. I listed most options at 8p or later to accommodate any west coast league mates. Do we have Mountain or Pacific time zone folks?
-
The vast majority of times start at 8 PM or later I am assuming it is Eastern time. I would be avalable for more times if there were some earlier starts
-
Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Do we have anyone in a non-U.S. time zone? Cheers.
-
LET'S DRAFT! I setup a Doodle poll so we could narrow down a date and time for the draft. Check out this link and mark your availability: https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/bWPzwood
-
If memory serves, we typically draft mid to late March. We’ll work on setting up a date in the coming weeks.
-
When is the draft?
-
IT’S CUT DAY! Don’t forget to make your cuts by midnight eastern time.
-
Blanket apologies to all. Worked kicked up last minute for me these past couple of weeks. I know some of ya'll sent me trades then had to rescind before we chit chatted. Plus to be blunt I wanted to wait till some ppl cut players to get an idea of "perceived value". First time doing one of these leagues haha.

Hello Nick Greenhorn Society members! Two reminders: 1) The keeper deadline is January 31st and 2) The deadline to renew your team (i.e. pay the fee for the upcoming season) is also January 31st. Make your trades, be thinking about your cuts, and make sure to renew! Cheers.
-
Anyone interested in picking up another team? 4x4 daily league. Bit of a rebuild but has Tatis ($50), Tim Anderson ($24), Nate Lowe ($13), Melendez ($12), Hoerner ($8), Raleigh ($3). Been in the league a couple seasons and it’s solid with good people. Message me if interested.
-
Coke Hamels accidently made those cuts. I'm going to add the players back to his roster.
-
Welcome Jonathan. @The American Dream, maybe we are the only ones left!

Hey gang. Diamonds and I were negotiating a trade and had multiple trade offers live. He accepted the wrong deal. I’m going to reverse the trade so he can accept the one he intended.
-
Thanks for the welcome. Some of Ya'll sent me trades. Still learning the rules and probs wont get around to responding to these for a while (Early Jan) . Feel free to rescind or keep them up. Def interested in making moves, but need to figure out some things before I can properly respond.

Welcome Jonathan. How many originals are there left? Panda and I?
-
Hey gang. We have another transition. The owners of Pooch and Tooch are moving on from the league. It's sad to seen them go as they were original members of the Nick Greenhorn Society. The good news is they had someone interested in taking over management of the team. So please welcome Jonathan, the team's new owner.
