This is a friendly reminder that tomorrow is Patriot’s Day. The Red Sox game starts at 11:10 AM EDT. That means weekly lineups lock at 11:10 AM EDT.
-
There is a handy reminder on your lineup page: "All players lock 5 minutes before the first game of the week." The first game this week is Thursday at 1:10 PM EDT, so lineups lock at 1:05 PM EDT Thursday. The week to be careful is when Boston has the early Monday game on Patriot's Day.
-
I believe lineups lock at first pitch of the first game of the week, so the time will vary week to week whether there are afternoon games (or no games) on Mondays.
-
For us newbs of weekly setups what is the deadline Mondays to set team for the week?
-
A friendly reminder from your commissioner that this is a weekly moves league. So, if you want a player's stats to score for the two games in Korea, the player must be in your lineup by 6 AM EDT tomorrow, March 20th. Good luck to everyone.
-
Thanks for a successful auction Commish!!! I appreciate all your work!

Well this was my first ever slow draft and I really enjoyed it. Maybe jumped the gun on a few offers but not only was it a different experience compared to fast auctions but the preparation and research on players being called allowed me to prep for my other otto leagues. Thanks Quick for all the work.
-
Okay, after a little glitch, the import is done. I have checked the number and dollars for each team. They match what was in CouchManagers. Please check your rosters to be sure there are no further issues. The draft is over. You can auction, cut or trade players. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
-
Breaking BABIP, I'm going to assume you are done with the draft.
-
My bad - yes, I am also finished. Sorry for the wait.
-
Sorry, yes, I'm done.
-
Lindenwood, Breaking BABIP, Spaceballs - give me a sign. Are you finished or not?
-
Sounds good to me

I am good with that
-
There has been no action in the couchmanagers room for at least a day. Is everyone finished? If everyone is finished, I will import the results into Ottoneu and you will be free to trade or nominate in Ottoneu.
-
It is intermittent. It goes offline but then catches up then times out again.
-
I'm able to get in, but there is a banner at the top saying "Working on improving site performance".
-
Same here. Haven't been able to get in for an hour or so
-
Hey everyone, anyone else having issues with couch managers? I went to refresh and the page just keeps loading
-
Friday it is. Let’s say 10 AM EST so that people in other time zones can wake up if they want to.
-
Friday works for me as well....fully ready to blindly overpay on guys based on off season headlines of how good of shape they are in, etc

I like the idea of starting early before I'm tempted to blow all my auction money chasing small sample spring training stats!
-
I'm also good to go whenever. Sea Lions mentioned Friday; that's good with me. Start it in the morning at 8 ET to run it for a full day to kick it off?
-
Ready to start whenever!

I defer to your experience and I'm fine with anything but roughly how long did last year's auction take?. reading the old messages i think roughly two weeks and you started around the 16th of Feb. If that is the case i am fine starting this friday giving us the weekend to understand the software
-
Everyone is in the couchmanagers room, and the teams have been imported. There was a little funkiness with Austin Wells, who shares a name with a Detroit tight end, but I have sorted that out. Please let me know if there are other problems. So, when do we want to begin the draft?
-
The ten teams that have registered in the new room will see that their teams have been imported into the room. The number of players and dollars match, but please check to see that everything is good. And once the last two owners are there, we can think about when we want to start.
-
No problem. It is a lot of work and I appreciate the time expended on making it happen.

I am so sorry, but I screwed up setting the couchmanagers room. I have to ask you all to register in a new room at https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/?auction_id=735. I have tested this room to be sure I didn't make the same mistake again. You will see my team already there. I truly apologize for this. It's been a week. Chris

That works, thanks

You can change the name that displays in Settings --> Edit Name on mobile, or by the Edit Team Name in the lower right hand corner on desktop.
-
When making my couch managers account I accidentally put a username that wasn't the same as my team name (RocketScience). Is there a way to leave the draft and re-join with the proper name?

Negate that, I got it lol
-
Hey everyone, how do I change my name in the draft? I used my team name as the default but it does not appear to be changing
-
Yes. You can edit your max bid up or down. If you are currently winning, obviously you can't go lower than that but you can go right to that number and hope you get outbid
-
My thought was along the line of - there are two SS in active bidding and I am leading in both. I win one and, as I really do not need both SS, I would want to remove my max bid on the second one in the hope that i get outbid.
-
I don't know about lowering a max bid. I've never seen anyone do it. You can raise a max bid, which happens all the time.
-
Registered and looking forward to my first slow draft. One question is- can i cancel my Max bid at any time?
-
Just registered on Couch Managers. Thanks for setting it up, Quick. I didn't realize it was a service you were paying for until now. Hopefully, you also use it for other leagues, but I really appreciate it for this league. I think it works great.
-
I forgot to mention this, but your team name in Couchmanagers has to match your team name in Ottoneu for the purposes of data import and export.
-
Ooops, sorry… 24Bells
-
Thanks for setting this up, commish. Looks like the site prompts for a password to join.
-
Is there a password? Did I miss it in the message?
-
I am not suggesting we start the draft tomorrow. However, I don't think starting the draft on March 18 is a good idea either. If you haven't used Couchmanagers before, take a look around the software. It may be a slow draft, but it really won't take any more time than a regular. The time will just be split up over a week. Feel free to ask me any questions. Once eveeryone has registered in the auction room, I will import our rosters.
-
Good afternoon. As I hope you all know, Dinger Derby's draft is a slow draft through Couchmanagers. I have set up the auction room in Couchmanagers: https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/index.php?auction_id=717. Please log into Couchmanagers, make your way to the room and sign in with your team name. The sooner we have all teams signed into the room, the sooner we can discuss when we wish to start the draft.
-
Last minute reminder: the keeper deadline is tonight.
I just finished making my cuts (I don't have it in me to stay up to the deadline). Flags fly forever, and I'd do it all over again, but that postseason push came at a cost. I see a lot of other rosters with great value and plenty of money for the auction. This is going to be a fun, competitive league once again.
-
This is a reminder that renewals are due by midnight, January 31. To date, 8 of 12 teams have renewed. I suspect we will have one non-renewal. Also, all cuts must be done and the teams be legal by the same time. That means that teams must have 40 or fewer players and their combined salaries must be less than $400 dollars. This league drafts by a slow draft through CoachManagers. We’ll discuss the details after Wednesday.
