• Sounds good, appreciate your understanding. I fear it's permanent, but any chance you can re-enable my team to be able to nominate players?

• No worries Shoe, you weren't skewered at all, I've actually had the exact same thing happen to me that forced me to bow out of an auction. Our second night is scheduled for tomorrow at 730, so while there isn't much left for you to bid on, there's definitely still talent on the board.

• Hey guys, I'm really sorry about last night. I've been playing fantasy sports for more than 20 years, and I've never missed or had to leave a draft early. I'm sure I was deservedly skewered in the chat room. I'm glad you continued the draft after I left -- although this certainly puts my team at a major disadvantage, I'm looking forward to the challenge. It looks like the draft was paused before it finished. When did we agree to restart?
  Who Throws A Shoe? at Aug 28, 2019 8:11 AM
• We will wrap up our auction on Thursday at 7:30, should only take another hour or an hour and a half.
  Tonawanda Kardex at Aug 28, 2019 8:10 AM
• Just a reminder that our auction is tonight, beginning in just over 12 hours from now. #gethype

• We have had a hard enough time finding a date I saw we just keep it. None of the big guns play week 4 anyway
  The Dirty O at Aug 24, 2019 9:50 PM
• Anyone want to postpone the draft until after preseason to get all injuries and retirements out of the way?
  The Hopsmackers at Aug 24, 2019 9:47 PM
• alright league bozo chiming in, but isn't 830pm EDT --> 930pm EST, so i'm just nailing it down are we starting at 930pm EST?

• Hey fellas. I'm also good with knocking this all out Tuesday but wanted to confirm that the 9pm start time is EST. I'm in the Central Time Zone and don't want to be an haur late for the festivities. Thanks!
  Greenland Space Force at Aug 22, 2019 4:41 PM
• Correct, that's Eastern

• That sounds like instant cardiac death if this rusty old robot tried that
  Tonawanda Kardex at Aug 22, 2019 3:21 PM
• I like it -- I'm in for doing the full draft on Tuesday night. And I'm happy to share my proprietary formula of Red Bull, 5-Hour Energy, and Four Loko for anyone who may have trouble staying awake.
  Who Throws A Shoe? at Aug 22, 2019 3:08 PM
• Okay gang, Matt had to drop due to the auction schedule conflicts, but Brian has taken his place. We now have all 12 owners ready to go for next Tuesday evening. Right now the auction is scheduled for 830, but we will start around 9 (I'm leaving the scheduled time as is because the otto site won't let us start before our scheduled time, so if people are ready before 9 we will start before 9). My preference would be to draft as late as we possibly can to avoid needing a second night, since there are more conflicts with any other date (like Thursday 8/29), so if everyone can push it for four+ hours Tuesday night that would be ideal.
  Tonawanda Kardex at Aug 22, 2019 3:01 PM
• At this point 10 out of 12 owners have confirmed availability for Tuesday night, so that's definitely what we're going to roll with. I'll reach out to the two teams that indicated they weren't available to figure out next steps.
  Tonawanda Kardex at Aug 22, 2019 1:06 PM
• I can do most days after about 8 PM except for this Saturday (my birthday) and most likely next Wednesday the 28th (tentatively my home draft). I'm not free much before 8 PM because I have a 1 year old running around at home.
  Canton Bulldogs at Aug 22, 2019 12:47 PM
• I am also free Sunday all afternoon. We would all be watching football anyways in the season. I feel like Sunday would be a good day hat can work for everyone. So I can work with you all and be free this Sunday from 10 AM to 10 PM. If this doesn't work out consider me Miles Davis 😂
  Chicago Cheesy Beefs at Aug 22, 2019 12:27 PM
• We all spend a good buck on this league. Seems like a really good league. Let's all find a way to make it work and be accommodating. Let's do between 6-9 PM this Sunday!
  Chicago Cheesy Beefs at Aug 22, 2019 12:24 PM
• How about the weekend guys? That's when most schedules align on average. Can we make the weekend happen? I can draft as early as 7 AM on the weekends and as late as midnight. Let's do the weekends to accommodate everyone!?
  Chicago Cheesy Beefs at Aug 22, 2019 12:02 PM
• No matter what night we pick it looks like 4 owners aren't available, so there's not much I can do without flexibility from others. I can make any of those nights work, Monday would be the next best alternative, but I know Rhinebeck is out of town Mon and Pottsvile and Star Hollow also indicated they couldn't make Monday.
  Tonawanda Kardex at Aug 22, 2019 10:56 AM
• It seems like Monday got the most votes. (8). Tuesday had 7. Tonight had 8, maybe we can draft tonight? Lol. Is there a way we can all draft later in the evening possibly to accommodate everyone? Even if it means a start date at 9 pm for 2 nights. I think late night drafting tends to work better.Or if we can do the following Monday or Tuesday since It doesn't start until Thursday. Sorry, I don't mean to whine. I am surprised Sundays don't work for the majority. They have historically.
  Chicago Cheesy Beefs at Aug 22, 2019 10:55 AM
• Is there any way we can just this to Monday/ Wed. Or Thursday? I have really been looking forward to this. When I joined, I thought Thursday would work. Tuesday is the only night that I am busy, out of town. Can we all work together one more time please to find one or two nights that are not Tuesday? If I can't draft, unfortunately I may have to ask to leave this league. And I really wanted to be here. The auction is what sets Ottoneu apart from everything else.
  Chicago Cheesy Beefs at Aug 22, 2019 10:48 AM
• Based on the polling I'm going to reschedule the auction for Tuesday 8/27, with a probable second night on Thursday 8/29. Unfortunately there was no single date that worked for more than 8 of us. For those of you who 100% can't make the auction on Tuesday, you will need to find a proxy to draft for you (I can help with this).
  Tonawanda Kardex at Aug 22, 2019 8:44 AM
• Everyone please fill out this Doodle poll with your availability ASAP. Please mark any day that you can make work, we will likely need to find two dates to draft unless we commit to 4-5 hours on night one. https://doodle.com/poll/tnxy6xqk8myb3sa6
  Tonawanda Kardex at Aug 21, 2019 2:20 PM
• Wednesday would be very bad for us. Monday would work. We could make Thursday work
  The Dirty O at Aug 21, 2019 2:05 PM
• Yikes. I scheduled around that date and have another draft 8/28. I'll try to be as accommodating as I can, of course. These things are always tough to schedule.
  Greenland Space Force at Aug 21, 2019 2:01 PM
• I think that was just a placeholder. If possible, I'd propose the evening of Aug. 28.
  Who Throws A Shoe? at Aug 21, 2019 1:58 PM
• According to the league page, the draft is set for next Thursday, August 29 @ 8:30m ET. Is that just a placeholder date?
  Greenland Space Force at Aug 21, 2019 1:08 PM
• Looks like the league is full. Could we try to lock down a draft time now?
  The Dirty O at Aug 21, 2019 1:05 PM
• Planning on having the draft night (or nights) over that final week in August, as an FYI. I'll put up a poll once the league fills.
