Sean
Assistant Commissioner

Core team is Chris, Me, Sean & Marco.

I am moving but Sean has been by my side for years understanding how we organize these leagues. It is important to me to not lose time with proper organization of DoB merely bc of life experience. There are too many people who have loaded in, excited, for DoB to allow me to be crimped for time to get it right at the last minute after the dust settles on the things I have to do.

For the period between Now and auction time, Sean acts as Commissioner of this league. He is sending out messages and if you have not done so already, REPLY ALL to make sure everyone is on same page.

DoB is the best free auction league you will ever be in. However, to remain as such it does require every member to exist in good faith. This is why we are selective vetting people and part of why we build community. Thank you for being the best free auction league on the internet. I can not wait to compete with the lot of you.
