That was a very competitive draft last night. Thank you all for that! And also thanks to Markov's friend that stepped in with zero notice to help us get going right away. We got almost 250 auctions completed last night. The last 50 auctions took a total of 38 minutes to complete. So barring any unforseen technical issues, we should wrap this is fairly quickly next Wednesday evening beginning at 8PM.

Just a reminder, each year the winner of this league will win $500. And the bottom four teams at the all-star break will compete for a $100 prize. Hopefully that will encourage everyone to remain competitive all year long. Good luck tonight to each of you tonight!

Great, thanks commish! To confirm, do you mean Wednesday, March 2? My guess is we will need that second date if we don't want to be up unto 4 am ET :)
-
Draft date has been set. Tuesday March 2nd at 8pm eastern. Hopefully we can knock it out in one evening. But if necessary we will complete the draft on March 9th at 8pm eastern. I know the 1 week delay is long, but it's the next available date we all have free.

8 of 12 have replied to the poll for draft times. Waiting to hear from Bats, C's Get Degrees, Hogs, and Gambinos. Once those 4 teams chime in, we'll set the date.

Draft times are starting to fill in for a lot of leagues. With this being a a new league, I think we should anticipate requiring two sessions to get this draft done. Everyone in this league has experience, and will likely be well prepared for this thing so it could possibly get done in one. But let's plan for two just in case. Please use the link provided to mark your available dates and times. Thanks everyone!!

I was about to thank everyone for getting their renewals in on time for this league. It really reinforced my excitement level about this, and has me even more fired up to compete with this group of players. Then I remembered when we all signed on to this it automatically was for the 2022 season. Doh! Please don't let the labor woes (nor my obvious memory issues) dampen any excitement you also may have for this. Thanks again for signing up, and hopefully we'll be starting soon!!

I changed the draft date for the end of March. We are at the mercy of the owners and players to get the CBA finished before we can nail down a definitive date. Niv has already moved the keeper date once, and may be forced to do so again. And Ottoneu drafts cannot occur until after the keeper date. Once the CBA has an agreement, we will discuss draft dates.

Starter last year with one league and loved it. Adding two this offseason. Can't wait for auctions

Four total leagues for me here, and it seems like I'm on the lighter side...haha

Me too. I enjoyed the Ottoneu auction draft process so much, I just kept adding teams. I ended up drafting 7 teams. Then later added some older teams that had been abandoned. I think I have 10 baseball and 3 basketball Ottoneu teams currently. We're not alone. Value Investor has a lot of teams also, and I bet there are others.

Cannot wait to get started. Last year was my first year playing Ottoneu and this is my 7th league already. Drafted three teams last year and then picked up three teams after the trade deadline. I may have a bit of a problem!
-
Thanks for all the team intros Otto! I'm looking forwards to this league particularly.

What a terrific group! Really looking forward to this. And, correct me if I’m wrong commish, but don’t you have some power to end this lockout? My ownership group is on board to work fully with the players.
-
The champions (UEFA champions league theme song playing in the bckground); I'm pretty sure this will be a great league, competitive and fun. Hope this lockout sorts out... and playball! Also, I am from Hermosillo, Sonora (south of Arizona) - Go Naranjeros!

Love the concept of the league and excited to compete with y’all
-
Sounds like a damn good group to me! Zero weak links. I'm really excited to compete against you guys. This lockout has me bummed a bit for baseball at the moment, but that will pass. I'll get a list of formal things we need to determine and we'll get to that soon enough.

Hogs - Came in 3rd in regular season on Better Late Than Never, and then had a great run in the playoffs but came up just short in the finals to finish 2nd.
Otto 2021 - living proof that if you join enough leagues, you're bound to win something. I came in 3rd in Better Late Than Never and Did it all For The Rookies, and managed to win The League, Armchair GM's, and least deservedly Midsummers Night Classic.

Schrodinger's Bats - shared the lead all year in Armchair GM league, and lost a very close final series to finish 2nd.
El Pollus - had a dominant 36-8 regular season run in The League, and finished 2nd in an extremely close playoff final.

Salvatore Plumbing - first chance for me to compete with him. Had a strong regular season finishing 2nd, but came up 3rd in the Playoffs of CRAMZ league.
Lockout Legend - won the regular season in the CRAMS league with a strong 17-5 mark, but fell short in the playoffs and finished 2nd.

The Class Clowns - Had a great year also in Midsummer Nights Classic swapping the lead for a long time and came up 2nd.
Anfield Road Warrior - Finished 3rd in Perfect Game League. But really shined in the Better Late Than Never League. He was out front wire-to-wire with a 31-7 H2H record and won the championship in the playoffs.

Markov Chain Smoker - this is my first time competing in baseball with him. Just learned this morning that we are competing in an Ottoneu basketball league together. He is the reigning champion of the CRAMZ baseball league.
C's Get Degrees - Battled all season atop the Midsummer Night's Classic League and came up 3rd in the end.

Devil Dogs 3.0 - Lead the Did It All For The Rookies League for a long time. Finished in 2nd Place.
Value Investor - Stayed in 1st or 2nd by a very wide margin all season long in the Armchair GM's League. Finished 3rd in playoffs after a 2 point loss in the semi's.

Welcome everybody!! There are so many Ottoneu leagues and teams available right now, so I am grateful and thrilled that you all chose to join this group. A lot of us have played against one another in different leagues, but many of us are meeting and competing for the first time. So I'm going to start out by doing a very brief recap of each team here, and how they qualified to get in Class of 21. I'll try to squeeze in 2 teams per message.

Still awaiting 2 more signups, then we'll decide what setting to use on playoffs.
