I'm going with the default auction settings -- nomination and time to bid -- in the early portion of the draft.

A little over halfway through, or until it is consensus that the draft needs to be speed, I will manually shorten the length of both nomination and bidding process.

Please make sure you have pissed and have your car parked in a non-tow zone -- looking at you, none.

ESPN defaults to 15 seconds to nominate and then allows bids. Countdown clock starts at 15 seconds for bids, but gets reset to 10 seconds after every bid.

A helpful practice is to nominate a player or enter a bid higher than the $1 increment. IE, if you're nominating a top player that's going to go for $50+ don't nominate at $1 and bidders don't just press bid $1 - start the nomination higher or if bidding use the manual bid.

I am in favor of a 5 min bio break in the middle of the draft though.

I should be paid and ready to go. Playoffs like last year not going to be good enough. Going for it all this year. I found this year harder to make a strategy for the auction. I got caught last year, but made some trades that worked out well. If you guys recall, I drafted Sanders, Thomas, and Thomas all from Den. Got cold feet and traded Sanders. I'm ready to do it this year.

Due to circumstances that arose in last year's league, I have given DJ30 and None LM powers in addition to my own.

We'll still collaborate as a group to come to a decision that has the league's best interest in mind.

I know last year Tracy had issue with some of my takes. So, even though she got the heave ho, this kind of removes me from that open criticism.

Any objection? Comments, concerns?

You and I talk through email outside the league. Wouod be a bad look.

I don't have any contact with None or DJ, but I pay attention and believe they fill the traits to serve as owners with LM Powers.

Not a problem. Biggest issue I had last year was random auction pause mid player bid. Not a well planned break.
