Tentatively, lets go with a live draft at 11:00 EST, 7:00 PST on Tuesday 9/4.

Autodraft: I'll do whatever, but I already have 2 other drafts I need to attend. I was looking forward to having a random autodraft league. Also, getting 10 people to agree on a time is going to be a bear this late in the season.
Question on autodraft: How does it work exactly? Will it give me a complete roster before picking up a 3rd RB or 4th WR?
I haven’t done an auto-draft in ages, but from what I remember reading - at least for Yahoo FFL, yes, Auto-Draft will fill out a complete starting roster before picking up your bench players. And that’s where auto-draft starts getting wonky. It gets even more wonky when you have, for example, gotten one of your top choices for say, QB, but if you have any more QB’s ranked high on your list, you may end up getting three or four more of those before getting a player you really actually would have of picked given you got one of your top QB choices. You’ll get weird rosters with 6 QB’s, two back up-type RB’s as your starters and 3 kickers. Like I said, really wonky and potentially disappointing especially if 10 btc means something to you. I've done about 20 mock drafts based on my rankings and the only anomaly is one draft I got 4RBs on my bench, but they were good so I had no complaint, I think it just so happened that they were the highest players on my list that were available. They have probably refined the system a bit since you've tried it. |

Ok. I would like to hear from ttbit, but a live draft is sounding like our best shot at making this happen. Do we need to get in before the season opener or are we okay with a week 2 start?
If we want in by wed. We're looking at a Tuesday night draft.

Here's another option. A "Blind Auction" facilitated on the forums. This is how it works:
1. Everyone get's a $200 budget.
2. A list of players is posted in the auction thread.
3. Everyone submits blind bids based on those players to a 3rd party within ~2 hours.
4. The winners of that round are posted.
5. Repeat.
Round Ideas:
Round 1: The top 5 ranked players.
Round 2: The next 10 highest-ranked players.
Round 3: The next 20 highest-ranked players.
Round 4: The next 40 highest-ranked players.
Round 5: The remaining starting QBs.
Round 6: The next 40 highest-ranked players.
Round 7: Defenses & Kickers
or
Each round is simply the next 20 best players based on an agreed upon list.
Any remaining budget funds will be assigned to the player's FAAB budget to complete their roster.

Draft options: 1. We could do a live draft for those who can attend and as long as your personalized rankings are setup correctly, you should get basically what you intended to get. 2. We could do some sort of offline draft here on the forums (either auction-style or regular), where everyone gets a few minutes before being assigned the next-best player based on ESPN rankings. 3. We could do a "no draft" where an auto-draft takes place, then all players are dropped and everyone picks up their players in FAAB auction-style "draft." I can assign a 1 day window where everyone must place their bids. In a Free Agents Acquisition Budgets (FAAB) waivers system, each manager receives a dollar amount to place blind bids on waived players. The manager with the highest bid at the end of the waiver period claims that player and that bid amount is deducted from the team's acquisition budget. If multiple managers place an equal bid on a player, tiebreak options are available as described above. |

How does this still look? I'm interested but i'm not so sure about 10BTC. Is the buy set in stone?

I've thought about lowering it to BTC5 or even BTC2 if it meant getting enough players. Is there interest in a lower buy-in? |

Is the auto draft setting set in stone? Because if it was manual draft, I would definitely join.
Not set in stone but scheduling will be a nightmare. IMO.. randomly determine a draft time. It still favors people who are less busy over people who are busy, but it removes the back-and-forth and everyone knows what they're signing up for. I'd maybe play if it wasn't escrowed by someone running one of those "savings accounts" that pays out a really high %. if you aren't going to play, don't play, you don't have to crap on my thread...  |

Are you now going to default, thereby "teaching" us to not trust anyone?

Yup Here it is
Direct from IRC
[19:54] <@pirateat40> As much as I've tried to meet the deadlines within the community, there're conditions beyond my control which have escalated the process to the point it is today.
[19:55] <@pirateat40> Bitcoin Savings & Trust has hereby given notice of default to it's account holders.
Damn I know I should have bet Matthew
So am I crazy, or would the logical thing to do if he was honest, be return what $ he has left from the fund proportionately back to their owners? If he had 500k BTC, and only has 400K left, why not just pay 4/5th of what you owe? At least that way, people aren't entirely screwed. This. Even if he has to payout in fiat, he needs to do it. |
