Rebels - Still good info. Probably gonna suggest it for a football league that uses myfantasyleague for some reason. Wish I had a home league but there are no more than 6 of us who care enough to play and only 3 who are really serious. Our old home league sucked about 30 seconds after the draft.
-
I use Fantrax but only for my home league with a group of people I have known for years - I don't have any experience with what it's like to join up in a random league. Ours is also highly customized so we pay for the extra services, which makes it super flexible (almost everything is customizable); we moved over from CBS a few years ago because CBS was both more expensive and less customizable.
-
Anyone use fantrax here? Or other platforms? Looking to get into a basic redraft league. I’ve entered NFBC leagues the last couple seasons. I like NFBC but most of their options (read as: lower priced options) are either best ball or don’t have free agency. Think I just want a very traditional league.
-
Correct!
-
To confirm, our auction is tomorrow night (3/27) at 7:30 EST?

Pandaman messaged me as soon as his cuts processed and let me know Maeda was inadvertently left off his list of cuts, so I have removed Maeda from his roster without cap penalty.
-
Make your cuts by the 23rd but it doesn’t matter to the American Dream. I’ll see you all at Starcade where Dusty Rhodes will show you what nemesis means. Bring your Horsemen, the Dream is coming.
-
Agreed, but I also think having less options available could be better in the future.
-
There were 4 owners who ended up being available on 3/27 who originally said they weren't available in the Doodle poll. In the future, please complete the poll as accurately as possible to help us make the best decision for draft time.
-
Auction time has been changed. Your one round of cuts must be made by March 23 at 11:59pm ET.
-
Sorry I didn’t realize I had to confirm. I can do 3/27 at 730 eastern

27th 7:30 works for me
-
I don't know that we saw an answer from Pandaman on the 27th. Canuck, were you in for the 27th or were you only agreeing that you preferred slow draft?
-
It seems as if everyone can make the 3/27 date. One manager asked that we start at 7:30. Is it a go for that date and time?
-
All sounds good to me!
-
Thanks to everyone for making the new draft date work.
-
makes sense to me. gives 4 days to evaluate the FAs. also, gives us this weekend to decide who to cut (if we haven't already;))

Also wondering if it makes sense to move up the cuts deadline to Wednesday, March 23 to give at least some time between the final cuts and the auction. What do others think?
-
Seems like we have 100% buy-in on March 27 for the draft
-
both work for me as well

3/27 fine on my end. Would prefer a 7:30 eastern start if possible.
-
Open to the 27th and slow. Also willing to stay up late on a Tuesday and start a draft later for 2-3 hours and then finish on another night if needed. Sleep when I’m dead.
-
prefer a slow auction but can make the 27th work.

March 27 works for me. Also fine with a slow draft.
-
Agreed. Slow draft on couch manager works perfectly for everyone.
-
We can do Sunday, March 27 at 7 pm. But to others' points, it may make more sense for us to do a couch managers draft this year to accommodate everyone's schedules. We're doing it in one of my other leagues where a similar issue came up. https://www.couchmanagers.com/
-
Ok, week nights are out. How about Sunday March 27th at 7 PM ET. If that date does not work for you, please let us know within 24 hours by Friday 3/18 at 10 AM ET
-
Is slow auction not an option?

I’m unable to that night until 10 PM eastern (live on west coast and have work until 7 PM local time)

How about this? Tuesday March 29th at 7PM ET was second in the voting. If that date does not work for you, please let us know with 24 hours by Friday 3/18 at 10 AM ET

Thanks to the commissioners for allowing me to find another date for the auction. I took over a depleted team last January and drafted, traded and selected free agents with an eye to the future. My team sucked (last place most of the year) but I enjoyed looking at the future potential of my team. Going into the 2022 auction without being able to select players is not appealing to me. The joy of this format is following the fortunes of the players you select, not random players
-
But I'll ask that the work be done ASAP - if we don't have agreement on a new date by end of day on Sunday, March 20, we'll stick with our currently planned time.

Olneyville, I understand your frustration. I'm not sure if others can see the results of the Doodle or not, but there were 16 total times offered, including every single day for 2 weeks before the season started. There aren't a lot of other options. How about this - if you can work with the league to find a date and time before the season starts when more than 10 owners are available, I'll be happy to adjust the auction timing.
-
I'm not sure what the solution is, I do understand his frustration tho. Have you guys ever done a slow draft? In my other ottoneu that's what we do and it works for all.
-
I don’t think it is fair to put scheduling on the
Commissioners. All they can do is see when people are available. The 3rd works best for the most. I get that it sucks. I know Tuesdays are close in terms of availability. I don’t know if there is a solution.
Unrelated, how did folks like the OPL that did it last year?
-
I understand it is an unusual year, I am in five other leagues, and all have been able to find a date that works for all. The weekend of the 3rd, I’m traveling 1500 miles to see family. I cannot reschedule. I stated my unavailability early.
-
This year isn't like other years. Everyone is scrambling (in real and fantasy baseball) to get things figured out on a short timeline. I, for one, think a little compassion and understanding for commissioners and others trying to help us play fake baseball is welcome.
-
I have played fantasy baseball for years and I never experienced commissioners not finding a date and time to accommodate everyone. I sent a note to fangraphs asking for a refund. If they reject my request, request, I will stay, but I’ll be one disgruntled manager.
-
Works for me! Thanks Commish.
-
What do folks think about a cut deadline of Friday, March 25 by 11:59pm Eastern time? There's no way to make the site enforce this directly so we'll all just need to be responsible and hit the deadline!
-
I certainly understand that perspective, Olneyville - we'll hate to see you go. I don't have any information about refunds because all of that is handled through Ottoneu itself. I recommend reaching out to Niv via the Ottoneu community forums, though I'll caution you that I don't think he generally does refunds. Your best bet might be to take over another team that is also already paid (if you can find one) so you end up netting out at zero cost.
-
I’m disappointed, but I understand that it is difficult to find a date that works for everyone. I spent the last year building a viable team for 2022. The fun of this hobby for me is just that, creating a good team. Not being able to draft my own players takes the value out of this game. What do I need to do to get my money back?
-
In terms of the process, in a moment I will turn on penalty-free cuts for all owners. It's important to know that you'll receive just 1 round of penalty-free cuts, so please make all of your cuts in a single transaction.
-
Thinking perhaps we set the cut deadline ~1 week before the auction - hoping to give as much time as possible for free agents to sign. Maybe we put it on Friday, March 25 to give a full weekend for prep?
-
And is there anything we need to do to make the cuts? Will they just be recognized by the system as free or should send a list…?
-
Do we have a cut deadline now that the draft is just about set?

I am not available that weekend. I’m not comfortable having Someone draft for me. Is there another date?
