Checked out the doodle and it doesn't seem like it actually has every day available? Like the way its set up, since some of the times listed start PM on one day and go to 1 AM, so it isn't allowing a PM start on the second day.

Wasn't actually going to vote on team config. Right now we're set up as QB/RB/WR/TE/Flex 1/2/2/1/1. If everyone is really gunning for adding a third WR slot we can vote, though I'd prefer to go light on rules changes this year.

Edit: added the Doodle link to the OP.

I just listed the dates when I was available. That's the beauty of being the Doodle Master

Gonna give until Midnight EST Saturday to get all our preferences down, in case it looks like we'll be drafting early early next week

There's always discrepancies when figuring out a date. What I do is wait until the league has voted, then I send out notices to people who marked "no" on a day when a lot of us can draft, saying "hey, is there any way you can make this work, let's work it out." Works most of the time. I am commissioner of a league where, last week, only 6/10 people could agree on any time but, by talking and tweaking the time, we found a spot where 10/10 are available

Auction is God

10/11 people can do Tuesday, August 20th and 10/11 can do Tuesday August 27th. Funkybottoms, Deedee Megadoodoo can we tweak the time to accomodate you? I'd be willing to put on a disguise and show up to your work for you.

Deedee'd had the opposite problem so if you can make the 20th work that's great.

So Tuesday August 20th, 8:00 until whenever we're finished. I'll set it up later today. Anybody who doesn't have auction experience, ESPN (and I'm guessing elsewhere) does have mock auction drafts you can take part in. Recommend you try 1 or 2 to get the gist of it.

Cooking breakfast or I'd have a little more to say now. Anyway auctions rule.

In the main FF thread I made a 6-step guide to getting up-to-speed quickly for those who are new to auctions:

Did google change the max users for hangouts? Last time we tried to do that during the draft it maxed out at 10. I can't remember what we used last year.

I think it's still ten, but usually 2 owners just dont have the bandwidth or desire to joined. Is that not true in here? Last time I did iso there were 16 teams

If you really wanted him then you can never overpay. It's like dating the partner of your dreams, it doesn't matter if you take them out to overpriced dates as long as you get laid.

I think I'm the only guy who loves their team. Too bad half of them won't play week one.

I like my team. I wanted DJ, Kerryon, and Cooper really badly, and I got them with enough left over to round out my starters decently enough

My bench RBs are not good at all, but I have some depth at WR and enough starting rbs to wait for someone on my bench to get promoted due to injury, a bench WR to pop and get traded for an RB, or lucky WW guess

I went to vote on it and it says "something went wrong" does that mean the trade got taken down?

I have ridley for $18, Davis for $6 compared to a hard $0 for Sanders, although industry is more like $8

bad trades

So campaign to have the "voting to remove bad trades" taken out before the draft starts.

You're a cool guy, but getting upset because people are debating about using an existing league rule to show their agreement/lack thereof for a trade is bad form. We're just debating about whether or not we should vote to reject this incredibly lopsided trade, which is a setting that's in the league. If trade vetoes weren't in place, I would definitely be on your side. But complaining about people discussing a veto rule that was in place at draft time is like complaining about 4 vs 6 pt passing touchdowns after the draft.

Eh, congrats Mikkyler 5oz pour. I think you jumped 3 people to make the playoffs!

This is one of my favorite leagues, because even though I finished one spot out of the money rounds, I get to hand-select a bunch of beer for someone. I've received 4-5 bombers for placing in this league, but whoever draws me you're going to get ~6 crowlers of insanity from my PNW nerd beer bar

My nerd beer bar has 40 taps that cycle on the reg and a crowler machine, so whoever gets me is getting like 6 32 oz cans of pure joy.

I would like someone who isn't totally averse to IPA. While every beer is good, I'm like 2 hours away from Yakima Valley so I love blowing people's mind with how powerful a recently hopped beer can be

I've been delayed in sending, but have not forgotten. Hope to have this done by the end of the week.

I often see advice to wait until there's a week when night temps aren't below freezing. That's what's delayed me in part. Often shipping facilities aren't heated at night.

You're shipping to beautiful SoCal - we don't freeze. Never had an issue with somebody shipping to me even when temps were in the 10s, but shipping INTO freezing temperatures is a bit more complicated.

Okay, cool. I bought the Crowlers yesterday and will ship today.

At my nerd beer bar I was polling people as to what local beers were best and they kept saying stuff like, "oooh speedway stout is great." I mean, it is great, but you can get that in SoCal, so eventually I just gave up and sample a bunch of beers myself.

Some favorites from the PNW here, and some new beers I look forward to trying. Thanks!

What were the favs and what was new*? I did a lot of research so I'm really interested in your opinions of what's new.

*I'm sure Boneyard RPM wasn't new. Every time someone comes into town and is like "what is beer like with fresh yakima valley hops?" I give them the RPM
