Just wondering if it would be possible to show a leagues draft date (if scheduled) on the teams available page. That way a potential owner could know before checking out the team if they could make the draft date or not. Just a thought. Thanks.

Good idea … especially when March Madness is happening concurrently. Gotta avoid the conflicts, ya know.
There are a lot of league settings that should be looked at when you are thinking about picking up a team. The league settings link is there for that reason, as the draft day, playoff settings, and commissioner note (among others) are all available there.
Completely understand Niv. I just thought it might be an important enough “bullet point” like league type and league cost to consider having in the claim team page. No worries and thanks for the consideration.

That page feels cluttered, so I’ll think on it a bit more. Agree that draft day is important, but also a lot of leagues are flexible on draft day until they fill up, so :makes motion of a scale with hands:
Bumping this as a potentially valuable feature. For any league that hasn’t set, it can say TBD. But for leagues that have set and are committed to the date, picking a league that doesn’t conflict with others is valuable information to know before regging a team (and dropping later due to the conflict).
This is only worth implementing if the majority of Ottoneu users manage multiple leagues, or if there is a desire to raise the number of Ottoneu teams/manager as a growth metric.
I don’t see how draft day is more important when picking a league than anything that is currently there: the cost, the scoring system are obviously most important, a link to message the commissioner, a link to see the league, a link to see the team.
The draft day is literally one (1) click away under Settings. I can imagine someons sorting the table by price or by scoring system. I cannot imagine someone saying “I will take any team that drafts on March 3rd” or whatever. It is a secondary consideration, and tied in that secondary consideration with MANY other things behind cost and scoring system.
I want people to be thoughtful when playing Ottoneu, and this just encourages thoughtfulness when considering what team you may want to pick up. You’d click to see the roster, you may as well also click to see the draft day.
This also for the record is why the Claim link is on the right instead of the left.
