H2h (head to head) is your standard format where you play against a different opponent each week.

Auction refers to an auction style draft rather than the traditional snake draft where you have fake money and a player goes up for bid and you bid on that player and so on until everyone has a full roster.

Of all tyrannies,a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

haven't got a when is good from everyone but that's ok b/c looking at the scedules Thursday, March 31st and Friday, April 1st look like our best times with April 6th as our emergency backup so lets just plan on those times. Keeper stuff will be out tonight or in the morn.

I mean like yes it would be nicer to have more than 8/6 for both but we have enough to do a keeper league unless we feel like such a small league would be unfun.

Might be the way to go unfortunately. I'd love to have both but I just don't think 6 is enough. It's like "darn, Detroit got hurt. Guess I'll go get Scherzer off the waiver wire". Know what I mean? It just feels like it's all luck and no work because the best players are available to everyone all the time. And those deep dives that are so satisfying when they pay off just... don't exist.

What's your take on one win vs. categories in H2H?

Since H2H is trending toward one-win I will volunteer to bow out in the event we have an odd number of people that want to play because one-win just sounds wholly unenjoyable to me personally and I don't want to detract from the experience of others by being miserable all season.
Well, this game happened.

The sentiment is appreciated, but I'm only one person and should not have that degree of veto power. If more people want one-win than categories then the league should run using one-win. I simply wish to call first dibs on dropping if we end up with an odd number of managers at any point.

Posting to confirm that I am aware that the draft is in a little under 12 hours and that I intend to (a) remember this in 11 hours, and (b) be there.
