League Message Board
-
Congratulations boys! We made it to the start of the “real” season! Remember this week’s matchup is actually a little longer than normal so check the schedule and your SP slots. Good luck to everyone week 1!
-
I really have no preference on the league/division names. Makes no difference to me. My team will be mediocre/poor either way
-
We trust in you to make the call
-
I’ll try to post a Google Form poll tonight and find some “what most people want” sort of solution. lol.
-
The last suggestion is also great
-
The only issue is I don’t necessarily want to resign things if people care. I think we should maybe randomize divisions next year, but only if most the league is okay with it.
I lean toward the Expos and the Pilots as our two league names. Two amazing defunct teams. Lol
-
How bout We the North as we aren’t all Canadian
-
So, have we decided on new league and division names? I really like the Canada vs USA division split
-
Rosters are uploaded, and it SAID there were no errors. Please double check your rosters before season starts.
Cutting, trading, and ottoneu auctions are all live!
Please remember that auctions for now have a random coin flip for high bid ties (until the season starts).
Good luck to everyone this year!
-
Reminder: After about 40-50 players have been drafted, I will be opening the nomination limit to 3 instead of 2.
-
Couch Managers draft is live! Remember 12 hour resets, continuous clock, and don't nominate fake Shohei Ohtani. :D We will do a pause for HGH around March 10th or so, but besides that the clock will tick.
Let me know if you have any questions!
-
Reminder that our draft is expected to start Tuesday morning around 9 a.m. EST. 12 hour resets when a new owner wins high bid. No sleep shutoff, so make sure you check each night and morning to make sure you don't lose a guy you wanted. Good luck to everyone in the draft. Contact me with any questions!
-
Default the American closest to the border… we know you want to be a part of Canada
-
Like this idea
-
Happy to hear we've got one honorary Canadian. Need one more. I think those divisions are way better then the ones we currently have. 👍
-
I like the names, happy to be an honorary canadian
-
I’m down for whatever as well. I like the Expos idea for one as well, or even some hall of famers name can work too. We do have 4 north of the border, so we are close to a split. I’m sure there are a couple that would want to be an honorary Canadian lol
-
I'm down for changing the league/division names but I can't think of any good alternatives at all
-
I almost feel like we should have a Yanks and Expos division lineup but I don't think we have QUITE that many Canadians. Only 3? Anyway, open to ideas!
-
Guys, I know we talked about this last year and people were on board, but I think it's time.
Anyone have suggestions on a new League Name and new Division Names? Something baseball related and preferably not stolen from another Ottoneu league?
:D
Taking suggestions before we change it before the start of the season.
-
Keepers have been added on CouchManagers. It looks like everything went in without issue? Please double check your rosters!
Notes!
Reminder that CM will NOT let you nominate your final spots if they don't match an open position. It's an annoying wrinkle. (Empty 3B and one spot left? Can't nom an SP).
SP Ohtani is "available" in the queue on CM for auction. He CANNOT be auctioned as he is owned in our league already. We had this last year and it was fine because no on
-
Hey just a reminder that no trades, cuts, or auctions should be started or anything until after our draft takes place. It looks like it would let someone try to start someone. Not sure why and can’t find a setting to block it. So uhhh please don’t do anything until after the draft. :)
-
Reminder to please sign up for CouchManagers draft this weekend if you haven't done so yet. We're halfway signed up right now. I'll need to get the keepers imported and fix any errors. The auction will begin around 9 a.m. EST on March 5th.

Please sign up here and make sure your username indicates something that can help me know which team to import from ottoneu to match up.
I think the current plan is ultimately that we will start the auction on -March 5th- and then put a 24 hour pause on the draft around March 10th to help accommodate HGH with his schedule. It will make it a little strange, but I think it's the best solution.
-
Sorry guys. I’ll be pretty much off the grid on March 9. Im back in the states the morning of the 10th after 24 hours of travel time. If the draft is taking too long then one option is the change the auction timers a few days in to speed up the pace.
HGH This Sucka on

I'm on holidays and in VEGAS baby!!! From the 9-15 or March so earlier the better. Obviously if we start the 10th I'll make it work.
-
I'm open to starting it whenever. The 10th or tomorrow....makes no difference to me
-
Still tentatively planning to start March 10th but we might want to give consideration to starting earlier. The first games are March 20th this year, and last year it took us 9 days to finish the draft. That might be cutting it a little close. Should we consider starting a few days earlier? Not sure how that would work with HGH’s schedule but that’s a razor thin line maybe if we start on the 10th.
-
That would be fine by me. That extra day might kill me when we finally get to the 9th though. :D
-
Can we start on March 10? I am traveling internationally on the 9th- thanks.
-
Commish Note: I just updated the draft date because it was set to Feb 1, 2024. I didn't want to risk it messing up somehow and drafting. We will still be doing our draft using slow-auction on Couch Managers because it's worked really well in the past for us. It'll probably start on March 9th, but it won't be on ottoneu.
-
Whoo whoo! Everyone is paid up for the upcoming season, so we are good to go there. Make sure you get any final cuts made by tonight!
(Trades can still happen today before the deadline, but you will not be able to cut anyone involved in the trade).
-
Less than a week for trades and cuts (and due renewals)! We have had an active off-season with flurries of trades. Make you moves and cuts before the end of the month!
-
Hey Hub, there are a lot. of them posted in the community forums
-
Anybody know of any points league start ups?
-
Same goes for Kyle Tucker and / or Luis Robert.
-
Hey all- I am most likely dropping Turner and Devers. You can always try to win them at auction but if you feel their salaries are at a good value today, feel free to throw an offer over. But, I'm not just giving them away so unless the return is something I feel adds value to my team, I am perfectly happy to not do a deal too.
-
Worth noting that you can pay through Paydala with a bank account or just using a credit card. The process is quick and the ensures we keep the league in tact for next season!
-
In addition to the reminder that you have until 11:59 p.m. eastern time on Jan. 31 to cut players ahead of the keeper deadline, a reminder that is also the deadline to renew your team. Please note that Ottoneu has changed from PayPal to Paydala. Multiple teams in our league have already renewed so it seems to work out just fine. You can find more about the changeover here: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/payment-updates/13220/1
-
Also league dues are...due at end of the month.
-
A little under 3 weeks until you need to have cuts made and rosters legal! That means you need to be at or under 40 players and at or under $400 (with at least $1 per open roster spot). Any open roster spots will get filled at the draft in mid-March. Make any trades you need to in this time as well!
-
Welcome fellow Canadian!!! You will love it!
-
Welcome to the league!
-
So get ready to make cuts and trades starting Wednesday! Jan 31 is the deadline for both. From Jan 31 to draft day (mid March), nothing really happens besides some draft prep and a whole lot of anticipation.
Good luck to everyone this offseason. May your players' elbows remain healthy!
-
Commish:
Two notes.
1. Please welcome shoelesso, the newest member of the league. He's taking over Wooden Hamstring and is related to Lightsaber Metrics. The Canadian contingent and that family are now like half the league. :D
2. Arbiration ends Tuesday night. Rules state: "Between the end of arbitration and the keeper deadline (Jan31), players may be cut or traded. After the keeper deadline and before the auction draft, teams may not cut or trade any players."
-
If anyone is interested in a 16-team dynasty/keeper league (6X6 categories), let me know- looking for 2 more teams to do a 5-team dispersal draft.
-
I think we have a replacement. I just need to connect again to set it up. You can arb Hamstring’s team. The replacement will be able to arb others. Hamstring has been removed as owner though.
-
Do we have a replacement yet? If not is he allowed to put some arb dollars down?
-
Hey everybody! Arbitration has started! It goes for the next month. Make sure you spend all your arb money or else it negates what you do. Spend it all! Message with any questions. Arbitration ends Nov 14!
-
Hey all, we are looking for a replacement for Wooden Hamstring’s team. I can open it to the ottoneu forums. But first I thought I would see if any of you have a lead on someone. I’ll give it a couple days before posting in ottoneu forums.
