At first I was blown away, feeling sorry for these guys, but then I realized. If you want to pick that badly, and you REALLY want on the clock, you can make a good offer and make it happen. Startup drafts are a ton of fun, but I think what is going on here is that after the first few took most of the clock to pick or trade, by the time the next guy was on the clock, he said, "you know what? I had to wait, so I'm going to take my time and see what offers come in. "

 

Most of the time however, as a general rule of thumb, I think if an offer hasn't came in in the first hour of being on the clock, its going to be up to you to send an offer that somebody else wants and even then, I'd likely only do that with somebody that is in the chat so I get a quick response.  I really hope the action picks up in League 6, but I can tell you that it's not for a lack of trade offers. Plenty of offers behind the scenes, just not a lot of accepting going on.

 

I think I agree with CKC. Sometimes you're on the clock and you just want to evaluate every possible option. Would a shorter clock help? Perhaps, but then again, with everyone's schedules, co-managers and time zone issues, I think the longer clock is better. We're rooting for you guys in League 6! You can do it!

Any Ties will result in split winnings. 

1. Remove the LIVE DRAFT ROOM.  The league doesn't receive emails when someone drafts this way so it's not meant for a slow draft. Remove it altogether.

 

2. Turn commissioner lock out ON. Theres no need for this to be off. A lot of money is at stake and I think we would all be more comfortable with it on. Our trade offers, pre waiver requests, and pre drafts are personal and should not have the possibility to be seen.

League 2, 3, 6 and 8, some of you could really speed things along with better communication this week and picking up the pace if possible. It's one thing to use your clock, nothing wrong with that, that's what it's there for, but please do make time in your busy day to let the league know when a trade or pick is coming. Nothing like sitting by a draft board waiting to be on the clock, but not knowing when it's going to happen, We allow for 24 hours, mainly for emergencies and hectic days that happen to all of us, but let's try to do our best here to move the draft along. Our rules do allow for us to step in and do what's best for the league interests, but we'd rather not have to exercise the right of reducing a clock to keep up. 

 

Thanks everyone, feel free to post any comments about teams you've assembled. I'd like to see them!

Agree..I have little problem if someone lets the league know if there will be a delay of exorbitant time. But when they check in, and the reasonable time frame for trade offers has been exhausted, they say nothing and disappear for 8 hours then it's a lack of league etiquette and courtesy. Especially when it's habitually the same owner.

There is no reason to routinely need 24 hour on the clock imho - you can plan ahead and say I want one of these 2-4 guys before it gets to you.

If they are all gone, you have a busy day in RL or you want to wait to trade occasionally then sure take more time and don't rush. But to claim you are using the time on the clock to think/decide just means you aren't preparing properly...

It almost feels like these guys are so affraid to make a mistake that they wont make a pick.Its one thing if someone cant get to thier computer,at work,on vacation ect..but when these guys are in the chat multiple times throughout the day and still wont make a pick its frustrating.They don't care that 11 other owners have paid good money for enjoyment.It takes alot of the enjoyment out of it for me(and Im sure many others)when people do this.They claim they are trying to make a trade but never do and make a pick 20 hours later.

 

Like Scott said.If an offer hasnt come in within an hour,it probably isnt going to come in.And if you are having to send out offers for your pick,you should be ready to accept far less than value,in my opinion.

 

Maybe its a viable stratagy to frustrate your competition so much that they trade with you just to get the draft moving..but it's not a stratagy that I would or could ever employ.

 

Just my opinion.

League 6 has some sharks in there but are very competitive.

 

You have to wake up pretty early in the morning to beat those guys.

 

How can you tell?  The league has only made 7 picks total and only 6 trades.  A couple teams in various leagues have made more trades than 6 on their own.  Sounds to me like there is a whole lot of indecisiveness going on, and that waking up tomorrow would suffice  

 

Kidding aside, I do see a number of sharks in that pool and at least one known dyno-shark. 

Missed out on TRich at 1.05 so traded down to 1.08. Figured I would join our leagues trading parade

Here is a helpful link if you want to check in on each league http://football.myfa...013&SEARCH=dfwc

Wow. Capernick at 1.02. Wow. Who wants to bet the next 4 out of that guy's 5 picks are 9ers?

 

This is taking Invictus' disregard for ADP a little too far.    

 

Then again, the guy at 1.03 might have sniped him.  You never know.  

Yikes, Kaep owner also traded his 4.11 for a 1st and the 12.12.  

 

Is this league the odds on favorite to produce the champ this year? 

Rotobowl is a great tourney with a great history in the market.  We are so happy to work with Matthew Falkow and his partners at Rotobowl in order to grow this event to new heights.  Its a great price point with a great ROI opportunity and we think players will enjoy the variety of a high payout league with tournament prizes with the challenge of the 11-man lineup with Dual Flex. Our prizes are also fixed and will not be adjusted based on signups. All of our tournaments are setup this way and have been since day one, to ensure fair play for all. Thanks for the early support! Now who's ready to draft? 

I feel certain we will swap a couple of our $350 leagues for this rotobowl league. Makes sense when payouts are similar and buyin is lower - just appears to be a great value. Still a tad early - but we are liking a lot of what we are seeing. Appreciate you getting the info out so we could be a part of this.

Great post William and I was happy to see your name in our league. I know you'll be an asset to all of our fun factor experience.

Look forward to some deals and narrow victories that go to me!

 

Catch up soon Brother!
