• Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad it was brought up before the draft. I guess in my opinion it's not a strategy, it's a semi-legal way to skirt the rules that are in place and can throw off the competitive balance. I understand missing a few nominations due to error but intentionally skipping 15 nominations keeps roster flexibility while other teams fill theirs with market value players.

• That’s… certainly A strategy. I don’t have an issue with skipping noms. I don’t think that would really deter that strategy either way. I’m really excited for this inaugural draft
  Shrimp Shack Shooters at Oct 11, 2021 11:13 PM
• Yeah I’m not a fan of requiring noms. If you want to blow $100+ on 3 guys in a dynasty league, that’s a strategy that might work, but might not. I’d hope everybody here is just planning to be cool.
  Rade Could Ball at Oct 11, 2021 10:59 PM
• I don’t have a problem with it. That manager got lucky the guys he wanted were still available. That strategy can back fire too

• There's a thread on skipping nominations in the Ottoneu Forums where a Manger spent $300+ on 3 star players then skipped his nominations till everyone else was out of cap space and the manager won several below market value auctions. What is this league's expectation with skipping nominations?
  
  PS less than 1 week till draft day🙆‍♂️

• October 17 at 1900 EST works for me

• From those who have weighed in I think we're good with one night w/ breaks. I'm going to bump the time up an hour to 7pm eastern
  Rade Could Ball at Sep 29, 2021 8:18 PM
• *sure to be available
  Predrag‘s Royal Court at Sep 29, 2021 7:57 PM
• My vote is one night with breaks when needed. If the vote is 2 nights I’ll just need to know as soon as we can and I’ll make Ute to be available.

• i'm good playing it by ear that night
  Reignmen at Sep 29, 2021 4:01 PM
• Yeah I'd prefer we just start it a bit earlier and plan to take a couple of 5-10 minute breathers. Sounds like everyone's got otto experience and knows the initial draft is going to take some time.
  Shrimp Shack Shooters at Sep 29, 2021 3:29 PM
• I think starting it earlier and powering through is probably the best bet. Hard enough to get everyone together for a single night, much less two. We can intermission as needed.
  Rade Could Ball at Sep 29, 2021 2:18 PM
• I'm good with one night as well. I've done several baseball drafts on Ottoneu and they go pretty quick. Maybe we start an hour earlier if it works for everyone, just so it doesn't get too late? Just bringing it up now before it gets too close.

• I prefer to suck it up one night, but whatever you guys want

• I'm open to splitting it if people would rather do that. It will for sure take a while. We could alot a specific amount of time night 1, then come back for however long it takes night 2. let me know everyone's thoughts.
  Rade Could Ball at Sep 29, 2021 1:43 PM
• Just want to confirm we are completing the draft in one night. Not sure how long it will take to draft 300 players.

• starting similiar set-up on cbs site. $100 entry, if anyone is interested
  Mo Cheeks, Mo Problems at Sep 23, 2021 9:18 PM
• For now I think we stick with the set date. If anyone has a hard conflict we can look at moving to that Monday night.
  Rade Could Ball at Sep 21, 2021 9:21 AM
• Weekend is better for me; as long as we know enough in advance I can make it happen, 24 hour trade works for me
  Reignmen at Sep 20, 2021 1:00 PM
• I'd prefer a draft during the week, but as others said, as long as I know in advance....
  🥇 Are the Knicks Good? at Sep 20, 2021 12:24 PM
• Hopefully you will all be active - looking forward with mt first BB auction
  🥇 Are the Knicks Good? at Sep 19, 2021 5:46 PM
• Yeah any draft durning the night works for me. I’m pretty open, I like the idea of waiting till closer to start date but I’m good with whatever. Also agree with the 24 hour trade.
  Predrag‘s Royal Court at Sep 19, 2021 5:28 PM
• I tend to agree on the trade review window
  Rade Could Ball at Sep 19, 2021 2:33 PM
• Hi all! This should be a fun format for fantasy basketball, I'm excited to get started! I'll default to the rest of the league for division numbers. One thing I'd like to throw out is reducing the trade review window to 24 hours. Once a player is traded my thought is the trading team shouldn't benefit from that player for more than a day. The current draft day looks good for me and my schedule should be flexible if the date needs to change. Can't wait to draft and trade!
  Cuz I'm Gonna Dunk It! at Sep 19, 2021 2:30 PM
• Excited to get started on what should be a great NBA season. Both of those options work for me, but I’m also pretty lenient on draft dates as long as they are set long enough in advance.
  East Bay Funk at Sep 19, 2021 10:14 AM
• Welcome all! Glad to have everyone for this new league. I "know" a few of you from other leagues, but thanks to everyone that joined up blind. Much of this deal will be run as a democracy, so major decisions will a lot of the time be posted here for feedback, and if there are differing opinions, we'll vote via surveymonkey. First items of business are draft date and league format. Draft date is currently the last Sunday night before the start of the regular season. I figure this gives us the best picture of injuries, player situations, and to look at some pricing data from the other drafts that have taken place. If that doesn't work for you, let me know. Other item is league format. We're currently split into 3 leagues, with 6 playoff teams. 3 division winners make the playoffs, along with 3 wild cards based on record regardless of division. If people would rather go another route, let me know. Excited to see how this all goes in year one.
