Would the auction be the same time tonight? Maybe start a bit later? Whatever people want
-
We can do tonight or tomorrow. And I can be flexible with time. And if people who can't be there wish to submit a list of players that they would like to hold off of, I am amenable to that.
-
So are we drafting tonight?

That'd be fine with me. We could probably do everything we wanted to do in 60-90 minutes. Then we could start the season tomorrow instead of waiting till Monday
-
Yeah that's my reasoning myself, I'd prefer to even do just a bit more of an auction.
-
Here is my concern. I, along with a few other teams still have a lot of slots to fill even for my starting roster (indeed, my problem). Because FAAB has a 48-hour window. I don't want those of us that need to fill out to have to submit an exorbitant number of bids, because we won't know if we've obtained a player until a full two days later.
-
I thought it was decided last night to move to FAAB. Is it possible to open the FAAB up now and start the season on Monday? That would give teams enough time to fill rosters at least enough to have enough starters.
-
My team is mostly drafted, so I'm okay with either doing another draft night or going to FAAB.
-
I'd be happy to auction for a little longer, but am good for whatever everyone else wants!
-
I’m fine either way with a slight preference for just starting and using free agency.

I'm OK with moving to FAAB. If there's a draft I might pop in but probably not
-
I'm equally fine with drafting tonight or moving to FAAB. But if multiple people can't draft tonight then it might make the most sense to just start the season and move to FAAB instead of extending the drafting process another day.
-
Unfortunately I'm not available tonight until after midnight EST. Same for Friday night.
-
I am open to continuing and can be flexible with the time. I know someone said that they are engaged tonight. We could start earlier or later. Or even tomorrow. If none of those work for most, then we can go to FAAB.
-
Are we going to try to do another day of auctions sometime or go to FAAB for the rest of the player pool?
-
Fuck me. An hour or so after I drafted him, Andrus got a fractured elbow on a HBP from a 97 mph Middleton fastball. What's worse is that I own him in all three of my Ottoneu leagues. Hopefully he only misses 6-8 weeks and makes a full recovery.
-
I'll also be late tonight. Not heading home from work until 9 pm EST, so I may not be on until 930-10 tonight. Don't want for me though, I'll catch up. Thanks!
-
I have something Thursday night. At this rate we're going to need to do both days anyway. We're probably floating around half done.
-
Would people mind pushing to tomorrow?
-
I will also be at least an hour late tonight. I didn't realize we would be going this many nights and had a prior commitment. No one draft Bartolo Colon while I'm gone! He's mine!!
-
Posted this last night, but wanted to make sure commish saw: I have a thing that starts at 8 eastern, so I'll be late to the draft. I'm hoping that I'll be able to join around 10 at the latest, but either way I'll join in as soon as I get home. Just wanted to make sure you guys didn't wait around for me
-
Almost everyone is in here for Day 2. Just waiting on Grungeworthy.
-
I set up the Hangout. If anyone else wants to join, my email is joseph.n.grochowski@gmail.com.
-
We probably can't call as well, but can be on Hangout: pompfantasy@gmail.com
-
I dont think I will be able to call in either, but I do like the idea of a Hangout. I'm at elanstrait@gmail.com
-
I likely wouldn't call in either, but I will be on Hangouts (dbreer23@gmail.com)
-
Just a by the way that I may be 10-15 minutes late to the auction from coming back from my event, no concerns, just wanted to let you guys know in case it shows up that I'm not active at first that I'll be there. Excited for tonight!
-
I probably won't call in. There will be stuff happening in the background, might have music on, etc. But sounds like a good idea for people who can call in, so I'd say go for it.
-
Excellent. We are all set. I am thinking of setting up a toll free dial-up in case people want to chat while it's going on. Would you all be interested in that?
-
Glad to see the league full! I'm happy with any of the formats proposed above for the draft/auction. Agree that later is better each night. Thanks all! Looking forward to it.
-
I just joined. So we're full!

Great, welcome. Just one more team needed.
-
Just joined, looking forward to this league! I've done Ottoneu before, but not in a H2H format. Spreading the draft over 2 or 3 nights next week starting after 9pm EST works fine for me. Prefer team nominates, but auto nominates might make the draft go a little faster.
-
Just joined, thanks to those who reached out! We're a duo who will be co-owning the team. We are fine with drafting Mon-Tue-Weds but if the draft time can be 8:30 PM EDT or later each day that would be preferred. We'll make it work though if it can't. Thanks for letting us join!
-
All works for me! Auto-nominations might be a bit quicker, but I don't feel strongly either way. If possible, is there any way we could start round 2 a little bit earlier on Tuesday? I'm going to be unavailable on Wednesday, so I'd love to get as much of the draft done in the first 2 nights as possible. But if there is still drafting to do on Wednesday it's no problem. I don't mind missing the end of the draft, and there's no need to move it just for one person
-
Okay, that's a good plan. Let's do the first 75 players Monday night starting at 9. How do you guys feel about nominations? Auto or teams can nominate?
-
I like that.
-
That sounds good to me. Rather than a pre-selected number of players maybe just set a time limit. Either way works for me though.
-
We could do this MLB-draft style - go through a pre-selected number of players (75? 100?) on Monday night, then complete the draft on Tuesday and Wednesday nights. I presume that the first few rounds will be more intense/take longer.
-
Monday Tuesday and Wednesday are all OK by me.
-
9 on Monday works fine for me. per Peons' point: if this is going to be a several-hour draft, might make sense to get at least a few hours in on Monday and then finish on Tuesday at some point.
-
Whatever everyone prefers (break it up over Tuesday and Wednesday?).
-
No problem. Can make it 9. If that's bad, let's do Tuesday.
-
Hey guys, I hope I'm not being too much of a bother, but if we could push the draft even an hour past to 9:00pm EST on the 9th so I could make the beginning that would be much appreciated! Nonetheless I'm excited for a fun season!
-
Its an Auction I believe, so if you miss a half hour here and there its not that bad. I don't mind starting earlier or later too. One thing to note is that since we are drafting a fresh league it will probably need to be started on monday night and then finished on tuesday night. Takes between 6-8 hours to do a full auction from scratch and I doubt we will be doing it all in one night.
-
Sorry, correction: he needs a 1-hour push forward.
-
I'm EST, and am totally fine with moving the draft forward or backwards. I know Ethan (Scottie Smalls) could make it with even just a 1-hour push backwards.
-
looks like we need 3 more to fill up? ive been sending some emails to the "available owners" list to recruit people. if anyone knows anyone who would want to join that would help too
-
I'm PST so later is not a problem for me, nor is another day. Might mess with anyone east of the Mississippi, though.
-
Hey everyone, glad this thing is filling up. I can adjust the auction time. I can push to Tuesday or I can make it later.
