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.
-
Yes, sorry Canucks, busy week at work. Welcome/thank you for taking over GR's old team.

Hey all. Good news! We have a new, but familiar, owner for the team formerly known as Gentlemen Rebels. One of Canuck's co-managers will be taking it over and Canuck will now have a single owner. Cheers.
-
So, we good for one of us take over the empty team?
-
All good, no rush. Enjoy the weekend
-
Thanks for offering. Ballad has taken over as co-commish. Let me get back to you about splitting your team to take over GR. Sorry traveling today.

Ok, well we are willing to split up and take on our own terms. Let us know if that works for you. Also I(Greener) would be interested in a Commish role if you need help
-
No replacement yet for the previous team named Gentlemens Rebels. We had a false alarm on a potential owner

Hey Panda...did you get a replacement for Gentleman?

Last reminder, 1 more day or so of arbitration for those who haven't allocated yet

Just a reminder to complete arbitration, ~ 9 days left. Also want to announce that Ballad of Sandfrog has volunteered to help with the commissioner role. Thank you Ballad!

As a reminder arbitration starts this Saturday October 15th! I know it is football and almost basketball/hockey season but please remember to submit arbitration. I will be looking for a new manager to take over Gentlemen's Rebels' team, shouldn't be hard, his team is loaded :). If anyone has a manager they think would be a good fit let me know. Additionally, if anyone else plans to NOT return next year, please let us know ASAP. Thanks

I would very much appreciate having assistance running the league. Is there someone who would volunteer to co-commish with me? Otherwise, we may need to end the league which would be quite unfortunate. I don't have the bandwidth to be a solo commissioner.

Hey everyone, it's been a pleasure playing with you all this season and the past few years. I let Pandman know earlier this week that I'm going to step down as commissioner and depart the league. My wife just had our second child and things are going to get quite busy, so I need to consolidate my fantasy participation. If someone else would like to step up as co-commish with Pandman, I know he'd appreciate it. I'm also happy to give guidance on how to find replacement owners if helpful.

Yea its usually a week or so after the season ends

Per Niv’s end of season Megathread; he’s expecting either Monday or Tuesday.
“Monday, 10/10 or Tuesday, 10/11: We will start sending out money via PayPal for both Ottoneu Fantasy Baseball and OPL.”
