Subject: Auction League Interest
Posted by: barilko6
- [22121613] Fri, Feb 06, 2009, 14:35
I am looking to set up one of the Roto Auction leagues through ESPN this year.
Categories would be standard 5x5. (OBP and AVG. can be debated once we have our 12-14 managers)
Just wondering if there is interest out there. Since we all have to be online at the same time during the draft, I am suggesting a Tuesday night with a draft start time of 9:30 pm EST. This is flexible.
Anyone interested? |

Those settings, time per pick and nomination will have to be changed once the draft is launched. In a custom draft there is a tab called LM tools. Using this tab you will be able to edit these.
As for availability I will be available any night except Wednesdays before 9:30pm. I'm also away 3/10 - 3/19 but assume we wouldn't be drafting that early anyway.

Wednesday the 1st is the 2nd night of the 2-night tourney, so I can't really plan anything for that night either.
So far it looks like I'm the only one unable to make the Tuesday. Its still early of course, but if we can't find another day I'll back out and you guys can run it on the 31st with a replacement.

Just need to hear from Wiggs and Loki. And Proteins still needs to respond to the invite.
Guys, are you out there?

Thanks Golf.
There is no rush needed to actually sign up for the league, but it would be much easier to send mail-outs to all the managers involved to get certain things worked out.

Loki...you didn't receive the invite because I didn't want to waste time sending it to randomly selected email addresses. (In other words, you never responded to the 4 requests for emails here on this forum until now...haha!!!)
Invite sent!

Just an FYI:
My buddy did a full auction draft with ESPN last night, 12 guys (2 less than us) same sized rosters and he said it took 4 hours and 15 minutes.
All the managers were there. He said time was wasted on the nomination of players (too long, which we can change) and then 2 managers gettting into "a pissing match" by continually bidding each other up with one second left on the clock for about 5 or 6 guys---which of course irritated everyone.
He said the actual bidding clock was good. It started at 20 seconds, and if someone rebid with less than 10 seconds left, it would reset to 10 seconds, which was a good amount of time. I asked, and he did suggest that the inital 20 seconds could have easily been lowered to 15 without any concerns.
So I think we can honestly look at a 4 hour draft, maybe less depending on how we tighten up the nominating time. (If a manager doesn't nominate, the bot just takes the highest rated guy.)

Would anybody be interested in expanding this league to 16 teams? Might make for some fun competition. I am still interested if you'll have me. Peace.

I think we need to make sure we can get 14 guys on a certain date before we expand. As it is, we might have one manager that cannot make the date that everyone else can make.
Once I have everyone signed up onto ESPN, I can start sending group emails talking about specific dates.

If the draft is going to take several hours I would prefer a tuesday night to a thursday.

I think expanding to 16 would be too much- 1st of all it makes things real thin- which I could live with, but 2nd it add like 50 more players to the auction that is already expected to take like 4 hours.

As per post 115, I would prefer a Tuesday night also, and I would rather not have another night added to the mix.

Yeah, it definitely looks as though Tuesday March 31st is the day that almost all prefer.
R9, I sent you a quick email with some ideas of how we can make Tuesday work for you.

As I am the only one unable to make the Tuesday, and since Fosten is ready to step in, I'll back out and let you guys run it on Tuesday.
Good luck everyone! :)

Unfortunately I need to bail on this league. I found out today that there is a review session for a stat class I am taking scheduled at the same time. LAst time the session was very helpful so I do not feel I should miss it. I am sorry for leaving so alte and I hope it does not mess the draft up for you guys.

barilko66-Very nice pick up of ROY Travis, any relation to Duke, Snider. I thought he was taken, or I would have grabbed him. I haven't played in more than one league per season before, and I find it difficult sometimes to keep the FAs straight. 3 leagues are enough for me, and I am a little in awe of those in more.-l
