Was I drafted into the 2nd league in the end?

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
You can choose whichever format you like best. I'll quote the suggestion again here for better visibility:
Yo what are you doing? I just changed the league names yesterday to League A and B to avoid confusion
Sounds fine with me.
I’m in both leagues. Would like one money league but no biggy if we don’t get the numbers.

Reading through the thread, think there are only 3-4 interested in the money league.
I really don't see how "AFC and NFC" is more confusing than "A and B" to be honest but whatever works
I just meant I didn’t know whether or not I was in at all.
I’d opt for the funkier non-standard league if I can. AFC or B or whatever we decide to name them
. I like to get funky.Last season there were a few questions about it. Think the confusion was whether our FFL mirrored the NFL and if there'll be a final knockout game between NFC and AFC to determine the winnerI really don't see how "AFC and NFC" is more confusing than "A and B" to be honest but whatever works
And I think some leagues run with multiple division format so that could have added to the confusion
Yes you're in. I included you in the manager count.I just meant I didn’t know whether or not I was in at all.

Happy with Robin's suggestions about the leagues. Personally would prefer not to do a money league
Previously that depended on the draft date. Put two dates forward and let people choose whichever is most convenient for them.
Pre-season ends August 29th so I guess it's best to have the draft after that date.
That means:
- August 30th
- August 31st
- September 1st
And I guess European time the evening of Sep 2nd is also a last chance option since the season starts Sep 2nd USA evening time.
I'm on holiday from August 28th until September 3nd so every evening is going to be a hassle for me but I hope to be able to draft from my phone wherever I am. I think drafting before the last pre-season games is a bit daft because of injuries which can occur, although it might not matter since starters are likely not going to be involved, so if we can't find a date in the week leading up to Week 1, we'll revert to the week leading up to the last pre-season game. That would mean August 23 - August 26 is also an option (I think weekends are probably to difficult to get enough people online).

Week prior to the last preseason is preferable for me, as I'm away from the 27th onwards for a week
Ditto, I’m on a driving holiday from the 27th for 8 days, so prior to that please for both leagues.
Don’t think we’ll see much of the starters in the last pre season game so I don’t mind one of the leagues having an early draft
Tuesday 24th and Thursday 26th, how does that sound?
Works for me.
I say this every year and never actually do it but should probably start researching.

Don't be talking like that as if you're not just drafting Javonte Williams and Jerry Jeudy in the first two rounds anyway!
Works fine
No chance I’m taking Jeudy, might take Williams as a bench option if he’s still there but won’t be looking at starting him.
Both slots work for me. Put me in either as necessary.
Would prefer the Tuesday slot out of those two if possible.
Perfect for me on both slots
I have no idea why but I always think your name is hepatitis
Whatever date is fine. Just put me in the superflex if possible, or whatever is the ‘less standard‘ league.
I’m fine with those
Are we on ESPN? Do we need to send our emails?
Yeah, to @Sandyman
I’m already on there from last year with both leagues showing “league not yet activated” - I assume I don’t need to do anything at this point?
No I don't think so, once the leagues are activated again you'll probably be able to access both of your teams - think that was the case for me last year as well.
Sweet thanks.
I am fine with the consensus.
Yeah only the ones who are new have to send me the email. Once I reactivate the leagues, everyone who played last season will automatically get added. Just a matter of moving the people to the correct league after that.
Yeah can add someone to that role. The last 2 seasons have been smooth sailing and we have had no issues so hopefully that continues.
I'm unable to draft the evening of August 24 because of a work event 
So either another double player drops out and we have one 12-men and one 10-men league, or someone replaces me, or we switch to a day earlier or later for that draft. All options are fine by me.

So which slot am I on?
If more than half of the participating players can't go through the hassle to reply with their preferred draft date, I don't see how we'll get this going. It's hard enough to bring 20 odd people from all around the world together to draft on one particular moment but if we don't even have the preferences to divide us all into two groups then I can't see this working.
So far we have
