Thanks Reggie! It was a strong run but we just ran out of gas, would have been tough to compete in this next round with Darvish out and Ohtani not pitching. We had a lot of fun and were excited to make it further than last year!
-
Congrats to Chocobos and Moogles who made it to the final 8 of the OPL and cashed for $400. I am sure they were hoping for more, but a great showing from our league!
-
Trade deadline this Thursday. Time to make those last minute deals
-
And DEFINITELY a record set for most consecutive auctions won by one team :)
-
I think it has to be - could start a new team with number of guys out there now
-
Is this the most auctions we’ve had at one time?

Just seeing this. Draft definitely didn't lock anyone out last year for missing a nom. I don't see any issue with just skipping nom's if you wanted. Like Wally, it sometimes just comes down to finding guys fast enough to nominate. If anything, it's a disadvantage because other people are nominating at $1 and your only choice would be to go to $2 if you wanted them (i assume $1 guys is mostly where this comes into play)
-
Draft Day tomorrow!. Course I will be a JAFO for this.
-
3 Seems fair.
-
Sounds like a great plan commish. I'm excited to get this draft underway, last one before Opening Day. MLB baseball is almost here!
-
I think we can roughly stick to a 3 strikes and you're out, but not going to be dogmatic about it. I'll also try pausing the clock at one second if it seems like the manager is just searching for someone to nominate. We can talk it through in the chat while it's happening. Excited for the draft - 4 days away!
-
I missed a bunch last year, not on purpose, I just couldn’t find guys to nominate fast enough. I think a limit is fair if that’s what we all decide on. Seems like work for slama to track though

Yeah I'll definitely allow anyone back in for missing a nomination. I think the setting is in place to keep someone from doing it repeatedly. 3 misses seems fair
-
Shit happens and it's pretty hard to prove any reason evoqued by owner (kids, connection, too much beer, etc.), a lot of leagues I'm in say you are allowed three misses (whatever the reason), after that you are done and out of draft being blocked by Commish That's my two cents
-
It's a default setting in the draft room. May not have noticed it last year if the commish unlocked anybody that missed a nomination regardless of reason as soon as they were locked out and didn't penalize those that had multiple missed nominations. It will be up to the commish to decide how they want to run the draft room.
-
Thanks - sorry I misunderstood how the auction works (it was all new to me last year). I don’t recall teams getting shut down for passing. I am fine with how the system works as Mississippi explains it. I would then request that if a team does not have a “valid” reason for passing, they not be allowed back into the auction.
-
The system is already set to "lock" an owner out after the first nomination is missed. The commish can unlock the owner if this happens and the owner says something in the message area of the draft room. Being locked out means the owner will not be able to participate in bidding as well. It will be up to the commish as to whether an owner will be able to continue participating or decides that too many nominations have been missed and the owner is not allowed to continue in the draft.
-
Have 2 additional points on my auction rule proposal: 1) Okay with me if a team claims some type of “operator error” on an auction pass to not count it against the 2 skip limit. 2) As an alternative, I’m fine if we all make a “gentlemen’s agreement” not to routinely pass to game the system rather than imposing a rule. Thanks.
-
Have an auction rule proposal. Propose: After a team skips 2 times in nominating a player to start an auction, team is considered “done” for draft (commissioner shuts team down). Reason: Prevent team from continually passing to “wait out” the league so they can later nominate players & get them for $1 because no one else is participating. This happened last year and I don’t think the practice is in keeping with the spirit of having a competitive auction with multiple teams participating.
-
I'll be open for last minute offers until around 11pm est. After that I'll be doing a final once over the roster and start making cuts.
-
REMINDER, in case anyone needs it: Today is the cut deadline!!
-
Ditto for bo bichette but inexpensive offense
-
If you’d like to lock down Tatis, I’m looking to move him for inexpensive pitching.

Open for business if anyone is looking for trades before the cut deadline.

-
I am available on any of the days that have been posted as potential draft days. Thanks.
-

3/27 is good. But all the dates listed in slamma’s poll post could work at this point. Later in the month and Monday are both preferable.

Any of those dates should work for me.

I think I can currently make 8pm work on any of those days.
-
Right now 3/27 is the only day everyone has said yes too
-
They all work at the moment for me.

We are available 3/15-3/18 and 3/27. Looking forward to it!
-
Since this is the first league I'm in to start looking for date, I'm open to anything.
-
IMPORTANT: Can everyone please post yes/no on whether you could draft 3/15, 3/16, 3/17, 3/18, 3/19, 3/21, 3/27? In all cases I think it would be at 8pm est - in my experience that's the time when most people are free. Thanks - would love to find a date asap!
-
I am unfortunately traveling 3/28 and 3/29.
-
Can also do 3/15-3/19, 3/21, 3/27
-
I will be in California on vacation 3/26. Could we do the 28 or 29?
-
26th is good by me
-
March 26 works fine for me. Thanks.
-
The date and time currently works for me. The sooner we can lock this, in the better.

Let's go ahead and set a draft date. The last few years we've done the Sunday before the season starts. So I've set it for Sunday March 26 at 8pm est. Please post here if you can make that time, and if not, please suggest some alternatives around that date that work.
-
Just a heads up, same managers here, just no longer named Marte Partay.

Merry Christmas to you
