Hey ya'll, it was @realBitcoinDog's idea to record a podcast during our draft. I created a scheduled zoom link to start Tuesday at 3:15pm so someone can record their screen if they want I supose. This meeting link will only last 40 minutes though, and the draft will take longer than that. We can also use Hive Talk (nostr live video, no log in required). But I don't think I can schedule a Hive Talk meeting in advance so it's a bit cumbersome to organize.
Here's the zoom link, if you need a password it's: BIP

Draft order is live! @Undisciplined @chrisliss @Jer @Cje95 @realBitcoinDog @grayruby
Rigged!
it's because you haven't paid the buy-in yet. Oops!
(not actually...it's ESPN set randomly)
Have I not? Send me a bill
10,000 sats to needcreations@strike.me
thank you sir!
still waiting on @realBitcoinDog too! :)
I’m here! ðŸ˜
How do you like your team?
I hope you at least set your draft order
Swap our draft spots then!
sorry bro lol
So is the draft starting now? Where is the live podcast?
Live Zoom starts at 3:15 EST
Draft starts at 3:30 EST
The order just gets randomized and shown 1 hr before the draft start.
Zoom link: https://us05web.zoom.us/j/88949455767?pwd=QNCqraqa6yAn4ATZttDhZR4EiGjIps.1
Btw, we could do a recording on Riverside, if that would work better for everyone.
I've never used it. If you wanna make link I'll share it to others. The zoom will last from 3:15-3:55pm EST though and everyone already has that link
I can set it up. This way we wouldn't have the 40 minute restriction.
ok. let's jump on zoom first and then we can share the riverside link on there for everyone who joins the call?

I can't join the Zoom but will be drafting.
Waivers settings was changed FYI. Basically means they'll process weekly instead of daily @Undisciplined @chrisliss @Jer @Cje95 @realBitcoinDog @grayruby
Lol whattttt my strategy last year is dead hahahahaha! I will say that was in part due to the roster construction..... Autopick was not my friend....
On a side note it looks like we only have two players on the bench now? Is that correct? Just wanted to check so that I know what I am doing pitching wise!
Autopick boned you so hard last year
I remember just gutting the hell out of the roster at one point 😂
that is correct. 2 bench players. Roster settings were adjusted from last year
also FYI on Ohtani rules
Is anyone opposed to changing draft time per pick from 60 seconds to 45 seconds? It'll help speed things up since we have 12 teams and 26 rounds...
Faster is better. Assuming some will miss the draft and auto draft. Will that be automatic or will we have to wait 45 seconds while the bots pick?
you only have to wait 45 seconds once, then it's set for that team to autodraft immediately for the rest of the draft (unless they come back, then autodraft turns off)
Can we set waivers to weekly also?
I replied on X, please see that chat. I don't see a way to change waivers to weekly. Unless I'm missing something... @chrisliss
That’s good
NP with 45 second picks, but would love if it were weekly rather than daily moves. I'll do daily moves, but TBH probably drawing dead in that case because of travel/offline activity.
Yes, we already agreed to weekly moves. I had no idea I could actually change that setting though! I have just changed the setting to reflect weekly moves
thanks!
UPDATE
I am going to change the draft time per pick from 60 seconds to 45 seconds. A few of us are in favor of this already, and I just want to enforce that we finish the draft as fast as possible because some of us have other commitments right after when this draft needs to end.
I like the faster draft
Also, if ya'll wanna join our X group chat for this league let me know your X handle and I'll add you. Most of us are in it already
