Gentlemen. How does the weekend of 16th/17th March sound for the auction draft? I've created a poll with timing options for each day: https://doodle.com/poll/t8u7u5kgtknkq9b5. If you could all share your availability and preferences over the next 48 hours, we'll see if there's any consensus and set a date/time. Across all teams there are a little over 200 spots to fill on rosters, rather than the 480 this time last year. So am hoping we can smash out the auction over a few hours in one sitting.

Welcome to all the new owners! Been champing at the bit to begin draft prep and psyched that cuts are finished so we finally can start planning our draft targets.
Spring's almost here, gang. See you all in the draft.

Welcome!

Welcome, Sam and Joe!

Will see what I can do. Couple of other questions - is it right that the league fees are $20 per team? Any plans to use Slack again this year - it seemed to die last season?
-
Yeah we still need an owner for Waco Kids. We continue to try and get a new owner via various channels but if anyone has a friend they might think would be interested it would be great to get them involved.

Thanks, glad to be in the league.

Waco Kids are out for next season, just heard from one of their owners, and waiting on Rays in a Tank to come back to me. I've posted on the community forum and the slack channel requesting three owners.

Asking around in my other dynasty league (perfect world, we drag that whole thing kicking and screaming off of Y! and onto here), but I think we've got at least a nibble.

I'll get on slack in the next couple of hours. If anyone else has friends who want to get involved please spread the word.

Re: the draft. I should be able to do most weekend evenings if I have enough notice.
-
Also, draftwise we'll have conflicts 3/9-10 and 3/23-24. Any other weekend should be doable for us - the 3/16-17 weekend would be perfect. We're both East Coast guys, so drafting on a weekday evening for our European teams might be a little rough for us but we could make it work with enough notice.
-
Yeah, the #leagues-wanted Slack channel might be good. @Adios or @Chin, can one of you post our league up in there?
-
I'm a commish of another league and have had to set 2 teams as 'abandoned' today. I looked at the abandoned teams list just now and it's pretty big. It would be ideal to get interest from elsewhere like slack or we could be without new owners for a while.
-
So we have two teams that made no cuts and appear to be dead rosters, plus we know that Montreal has stepped aside. Have we posted these teams in the Slack or on the community board yet?

Thanks Chin Music - sounds good to me. And I’m definitely in for next season too.

We’re in for next year as well

"V. ADDING AND DROPPING PLAYERS; i. If a team changes ownership, the new owner is given the opportunity to make one round of penalty-free cuts." Right you are, Lawn Mauer. Saves us a job!

Count me in for next season.
-
I’m definitely in for next year. And new owners get 1 round of penalty free cuts whenever they take over, so the commishs wont need to manually do it for them.
-
We’ll send around a poll for the best auction date/time nearer the time, but most likely it’ll be early-mid March. I know Special K has already confirmed for next year; would be helpful if we could get confirmations from others, too. 3/3

As for the couple of active teams in negative cap space. Commish’s can manually cut players from teams after the keeper deadline to allow owners to participate in the draft. I’m one of those teams in negative cap space; am just waiting on a couple of last-minute trades before making my cuts ;-) 2/3

Apologies. Commish Steve (Adios Pelota) and I met yesterday to chat ottoneu. We sent emails to the three owners who haven't logged in within the past seven days. Thus far we know Montreal Mystery won't be returning so we'll be offering up ownership on slack; ditto any others as necessary. We'll allow new owners to make cuts after the keeper deadline as they see fit (this seems fair to us but shout if anyone has any issues). 1/3

I suppose the concern for me is that we still have owners who are either leaving it to the last minute or aren't interested anymore. From experience it's normally the latter which means we have potentially half the owners not participating - which leaves the future of this league in some doubt. Also no response from either of the commish's on the question raised by Monroe Doctrine 5 days ago. Worrying.
-
If they don’t get below the $400 cap, they won’t be able to participate in the draft, is my understanding. They will continue with their current rosters. Someone correct me if I’m wrong.

Question - what happens if teams don't vote off the requisite players to get below the $400 cap by the 31 January which is the keeper deadline? Also do we have a full complement of owners returning as I've seen a few teams with little movement or cuts?

Players also have to renew their teams every year, so we'll know if a team is completely unattended. At that point we can post in the Slack or on the community board for new owners, should we need them.
-
Currently, we have seven teams that have negative available cap space. I'm wondering who is still going to be negative after the keeper deadline. Also, if we resort to the commissioner(s) removing players from teams, I wonder if that gives back the full salary of the removed player back to the team?

Reminder:
e. The auction process in each later year is the same as in year 1.
i. Teams that are not under roster limits as defined in VII. c. are not allowed to participate in the Auction Draft
ii. Commissioners have the right to remove players from teams that are over limits after the keeper deadline in order to allow them to participate in the Auction Draft. Commissioners should work with the other owners in the league and use their best discretion in making these types of roster moves.
