I'm happy to serve as trustee of the league funds again this year. If you want to paypal me the entry fee (jwbixby at gmail dot com) with a note including your name and your team's name, I can hold the funds until the end of the season.

We are now 12 for 12 in confirming that the night of Match 8th works for the draft, so we're locking that in! Thank you all for somehow making this the easiest ever ottoneu draft to schedule, despite the 12 hour time difference between our most occidental and oriental members. I also have the full league's go-ahead to raise the buy-in to $35. We'll keep the ratios of prize payouts almost exactly the same, paying out $185, $125, $75, and $35 to the top finishers.

We're currently 11 for 11 on the night of March 8th working for our draft. I've tentatively booked it for 9pm eastern on that night. Please reach out to me directly with concerns, comments, or conflicts. I figure 9pm may be the sweet spot to accommodate our West Coast and Turkey contingents, but let me know if that isn't the case.

So far we're looking good for Friday nights in March. Still waiting on 2 people to fill out the survey, but hopefully one of those works for everyone!

How late would make sense?

Regarding the auction times, I’d appreciate if it could be late on a Friday or Saturday night EST, since I’m 8 hours ahead in Turkey and could wake up for it. Alternatively, a Saturday or Sunday morning for you all would be an evening for me. Also I’ll have no money so maybe none of this matters.

Hey all! I just sent out a Google form to try and get the draft scheduled. I also included a question about raising the league buy-in by $10 to see what the level of interest in that is. Please fill it out as soon as possible (and be generous with your availability pretty please!)

(Just joking of course: you have to allocate at least $1 to each team. Davis Schneider's mustache alone looks worth the $1 hit from each of you, to be honest.)

Thank you! After 10 years of struggling, I do want to share a couple of the lessons learned from my championship year:
1) I never assigned any arb dollars to my team, and encourage you to follow suit.
2) I must be the league leader in off-season trade offers, and therefore 2023 showed a correlation between quantity of trade offers made and league championships. Look forward to an active off-season!Contreras Tour (Naylor's Version) on October 15, 2023 3:31 PM

And my belated congratulations to our new champion, Doron! You really poured your GUTS out for this title. I'll try not to be Sour about it as runner-up, but you've truly represented the Best Of High School Musical: The Musical. Well-deserved!

I like how my season exactly mirrored the narrative arc of my Cubs, right down to monkeyfarting away a playoff spot right at the end. Fantastic!

Great season, everyone! But especially great season by Doron, who led wire-to-wire and obliterated the rest of the league en route to his first championship! Congrats!!! Also shoutout to Reinheimers, who finished 2nd overall(!!!) in OPL with his team from our other league.

It may be recency bias, and I know I could go back and actually check, but does it seem to anyone else like we've had a LOT of FA auctions so far this year compared to years past?

Okay, should be no problem to push it back to 7:30 eastern, but I don't want to start too late since it looks like we were a little more aggressive on cuts this year than previously, which means a slightly longer draft time. Would there be objections to an 8pm start time?

Okay, Kris has a proxy for a draft on the night of Sunday, March 12th! Our long, league-wide nightmare is hopefully coming to an end. Please let me know if 7pm EST on March 12th is problematic and we can adjust it if need be (but pretty, pretty please try to make it work if possible). Thanks, Kris, for taking one for the team and helping to get the draft booked!

It looks like we've got just the wrong combination of stuff going on in our lives to make finding a good draft time impossible. Kris is currently looking into finding a proxy to fill in for him. If he can, we'll draft the night of March 12th.
