$250 DC Auction #1 • rescheduled for Sunday 6pm EST

[KJ Duke]

Everyone is confirmed in for Sunday, just need Bergman to accept invite.

[76erfan]

and reminder if you want to practice pre-draft to get used to the auction room.....it will be available at 10 am and noon EST.

[KJ Duke]

All are in now.

[76erfan]

first practice session in advance of the auction tonight starts in 15 minutes.

[76erfan]

we will do again at noon EST(before football starts)

Vander and Papas9 were there with me. If you test it out ahead of time..we can start promptly at 6 or even a few minutes before that and hopefully no hiccups

[76erfan]

had 3 or 4 more test with me at noon today...no problems....530 i have it set up to "start" so we can do a little last minute practice if needed. KJ will take the reigns and I will help as needed. 6 is our official start time but several peeps noted its a work night and would love to start a tad early(545-550 perhaps?) so lets try and all be timely.

76er and who helped.... Thank You for setting this all up.. see you tonight, that site worked great last year

[ToddZ]

Andy/KJ - one more thing for you guys to practice is accelerating the clock previous to countdown mid-draft. You probably have it anywhere from 30 sec to 1 minute. We found it beneficial to shorten the time before the countdown so we weren't waiting and waiting in the end game.

[76erfan]

Thanks Todd. I played around with that. Also like the feature where u can assign a player to team without bids taking place. Helps with alot of peeps having dollar max bids

Especially if you're planning on using it for a high-stakes keeper auction league

Great job guys who put this together.

Just one issue KJ - your last pick is ineligible. Rutledge is SS only so your 2B spot is open.

Yep thanks, I'll replace him with Valbuena.

its early enough in season..i got no problems sharing my team........my strategies will be quite different come NYC:)

first off....everyone did a nice job and RTsports is a great host site for this. Took about 6 hours but we started pretty slow with a few technical difficulties that KJ alluded to. I suspect its more 5-5.5 hours as the norm going forward.

I came up a little short at closer.......but overall like my team........

KJ - you should reach out to RT about the Jose Quintana error as well.

[76erfan]

rosters are loaded now. Please check for accuracy. Tom will let us know when slow draft will start(expected to be later in week)

Looks like a solid offense. I'd prefer a better SP duo for $53 than Hamels/Greinke but overall the pitching looks solid, too.

Any chance of getting full auction results? It's hard to get data on anything other than straight draft leagues. Don't really care who bid what if people want to keep their targets secret.

[KJ Duke]

Current year results are known only to participants, but you will have some good data 4 days from now.

[76erfan]

we have gone live with the slow draft portion of this
