Vin+ 3,121 Posted July 13, 2012 (edited) F4E brought this idea up a while back and it's time to get the ball rolling. The rules, for those that aren't familiar with auction drafts: http://games.espn.go...=drafts-auction Participation is open to everyone, regardless of whether or not you're in another official league. Also, I'm open to suggestions on scoring, rosters, draft date preference, etc. Participants (I'm not going to set a strict limit on this. However many people we get is how many we'll roll with. If it's more than 10-12, so be it.): 1. Vin 2. F4E 3. ATL 4. Blue 5. Oochy 6. Cuda 7. Thanatos 8. Sean 9. Ranga 10. Romo Edited August 18, 2012 by Vin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BLUE 1,026 Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) I've never done an Auction League before, but I told Vincenzo to count me in, so...count me in! Edited July 15, 2012 by BLUE 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vin+ 3,121 Posted July 19, 2012 MOAR PEOPLE. I'm also gonna need your emails for invites. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oochymp 2,393 Posted July 19, 2012 MOAR PEOPLE. I'm also gonna need your emails for invites. yeah, we need to get membership settled soon because scheduling the draft is going to be a pain because it's absolutely critical that everyone make it to the draft, I'd also recommend everyone do at least one mock auction here (join any lobby that's listed as 'auction' rather than 'snake' under draft type) so that you'll know what's going on Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vin+ 3,121 Posted July 26, 2012 ESPN has such a good system it'd be a shame not to use it I don't plan on it, but it is an option. Surely we can get at least two more people. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Thanatos 2,847 Posted July 27, 2012 I too have never done this, but it looks fun. I will probably suck ass, but why not. Count me in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oochymp 2,393 Posted July 28, 2012 I too have never done this, but it looks fun. I will probably suck ass, but why not. Count me in. I have a feeling nobody is going to leave the draft completely happy with their draft, but I think that's part of the fun of an auction draft Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vin+ 3,121 Posted August 12, 2012 Need one more person. Don't make me randomly select someone from the "members online today" list... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
oochymp 2,393 Posted August 13, 2012 we need to start figuring out an auction time, my schedule is pretty crazy for the next two weeks so I'm going to suggest sometime the week of the 26th, about a week before the season starts, from the mocks I've done it takes about an hour and a half and you don't want to have to leave early, the end is when you get all of your $1 sleepers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vin+ 3,121 Posted August 14, 2012 Guess we have people post dates that work for them and just pick the one that works for everyone. If possible, I'd like to avoid having it on that weekend (25th and 26th) unless it's sometime during the day. Seems the majority of the other leagues I'm in want to have their drafts on that weekend.

Barracuda 629 Posted August 14, 2012 (edited) Pretty much any day works for me. Would prefer a early-mid day or late draft. Edited August 14, 2012 by Barracuda Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
