Terrible situation. I am all for doing what needs to be done to keep people from bailing. Also worth noting that the draft date has been posted since February 28th and although it was pushed back two hours it still happened on the posted date. There was enough communication for 10 out of 12 owners to make it and the same level I have had with the other leagues I have drafted in this year. Completely understand the frustration.
-
Otherwise, I have no reason to play this year with whatever scraps are left out there no matter how much money I have.
-
Nobody informed me that the draft was happening either. Just like sabertooth, I was at home and could've drafted. But like sabertooth, the last word I saw from the commissioner was that "we will move the draft back in time" and I was sitting like a dumb shit waiting to find out the new draft date and time. If indeed the draft did happen last night, I think it's only fair to delete everything that happened and set a draft date and time that every single team knows about and can particip
-
Wait… Did the draft still happen yesterday?? And if it didn't are waivers open now?? I am so confused. Commissioner… Would you please let us know what is going on??? I am kind of with sabertooth here…
-
Honestly, a commish statement that it was happening would have been nice. Also, normal Otto practice is to pause a draft when a manager is missing and send them an email or message that draft is taking place. I was sitting at home and could have drafted.
-
I am new, to this league, and Ottoneu, but I vote to let SABRtooth Tigers fill out his roster with $1 players before waivers if that is possible. If he was on the draft and did not pick up any players and just waited until everyone was finished, he could have done the same thing.
-
I either want the chance to go to free agents and fill my team with players for a $1 or you can abandon my team. Your pick commish.
-
I also Have no message in my inbox of someone trying to tell me we were drafting.
-
Did we draft last night? The commish said this, “Sorry I haven’t been on in a while. We will move it back in time. I’m truly sorry for you loss.”
-
We are able to add players right now before there has even been a draft??? Waivers are open?
-
I very much appreciate all the effort to move it. If the easiest is just later tonight I’m happy to do it that way. Otherwise I’m open to any other solution come up with that allows us all to auction. And may I add, F@$k Cancer.
-
It is pretty common for Otto leagues to draft on couch managers. You just allow each team to make 4 nominations or so at a time, so it moves kinda quickly. You can adjust timer for length of time, normally about 8 hours and resets with each bid.
-
I love the idea of a slow draft but how do you do a slow draft on Ottoneu that is an auction draft? Someone would nominate a player and then there's like a timer on bidding? Wouldn't that take forever? Is it even possible for an Ottoneu auction draft? I just don't know. I'm asking!
-
I think this late, a couch managers draft might be the best way to proceed? we probably all play in multiple leagues and finding a draft night where all of us can make it, might be rough. so I say we either 1) commit to a couch manager draft, or 2) someone send out a doodle poll to find a date.
-
Thank you.
-
Sorry I haven’t been on in a while. We will move it back in time. I’m truly sorry for you loss.
-
If we really don’t think we can find another day between now and march 27th how about pushing it later by a couple hours, say 9:30pm eastern. I’d literally be drafting in the car on the ride home from the wake but my other option would be to essentially throw away a full season of a league I already paid for.
-
Should we consider a slow(ish) draft so we don't need to align on a single date/time?
-
I would appreciate it if we could find another day.
-
I agree with Donutz
-
I meant to say I have another draft next Wednesday night. Of course, we can always leave it at the original draft time and unfortunately Saxonville would probably be the only team that couldn't make it. But the preference would be a time that works for everyone obviously. Remind me, who is our commissioner of this league?? Have we heard from them throughout this discourse?
-
The only night I cannot do is Monday nights and I have another job next Wednesday night. That being said… You're never going to find a day and time that works for everyone so you probably just need to set a day and time and we all just have to live with it good or bad.
-
I could probably do any evening next week except Friday. So Mon-Thu.
-
How about next Monday or Tuesday evening?
-
Impossible for me, already have four drafts tonight at 21:00
-
I can draft any evening this week except Friday and probably Saturday. Also, I personally don’t care if the draft is after the Japan series if that helps others.
-
I have another draft Monday night
-
I can do Monday night
-
or is that too soon Saxonville?
-
Could we do Monday, March 10 at like 9 ET. It shouldn't take longer than two hours?

-
Have we decided on a new draft date and time? Or are we moving it from this upcoming Tuesday, March 11? I am just trying to figure out if my Tuesday afternoon is free or if we are still doing the draft. Saxonville… I am so sorry to hear about your loss. Definitely sending waves and waves of healing energy to you and your family.
-
I have a draft for another league on the 13th at 8 PM ET.
Other than that, I’ll be good to go whenever.

For me, I would like to do the draft as soon as soon as we can, but if it works better for others, I do not consider the Japan series very consequential and think we should allow later if necessary for everyone. For me, Sundays are the hardest as I usually am traveling then, and during the day on weekdays since I work. But pretty much any evening except Sunday (and maybe Sunday if necessary)
-
Thank you. I will make myself available as much as possible. So I could also do late Sunday 3/16 like after 8:30pm Eastern
-
Sorry for your loss.
Unfortunately, I'm not available Friday. Could do Saturday earlier (not evening). Sunday I'm only available in the evening.
(Question for you Ottoneu pros....how long do we expect the draft to take?)
-
Ok thanks. Friday? Saturday? I could do Sunday before 3pm EDT. Monday. The Japan series is Tuesday so not sure how important it is to everyone to get that in. Thanks for working to figure this. Hard time for the family over here but I really enjoy this league.
-
I’ll be traveling at that time. (With family)
-
Can I suggest Thursday 3/13 at7:30 EDT as a starting place?
-
Thanks I can do almost any other day beside Sunday the 16th
-
I am okay with moving it, and pretty flexible
-
It would be much appreciated as I don’t think I can find anyone to cover for me
-
Hello everyone, I am sorry to say that I’ve had a death in the family and the services are Tuesday and Wednesday next week. Is there anyway we can
Move our auction to another day?
-
Looks like it’s Eastern time
-
Is this 7:30 central time? If so I should be able to do it. If Eastern I'll be getting kids to bed by myself and that would be tricky.
-
11th is good. 7:30 will be tight for me. may be a few minutes behind but I’ll try!
-
3/11 evening works for me too.
