Good luck this season, y'all!
-
Some real cap comedy going on over here this morning. All I wanted to do was add Miller as a closer play…
-
Same here! Looking forward to seeing all of y'all on Tuesday, March 5, at 9 PM ET.
-
I sure am excited to draft later this week on Tuesday, March 5 at 9 PM ET
-
Alrighty, looks like the only time that's feasible for everyone is 9 PM ET on Tuesday, March 5. I talked with kleborp offline and he confirmed he can make that, as well.
If anyone is unable to make that work, *speak now* or forever hold your peace. Otherwise, I'll lock that in tomorrow. Thanks, y'all!
-
Fantastic! We should be good to go for 2024, then.
It looks like no weekend date works for more than nine of the current owners, but because I'm a magnanimous commissioner, I'll take one more crack at the schedule before we go for the slow draft: https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/b6Y7A1La
If you could fill out the poll above by next Tuesday or so, that would be great. Please make sure either your team name or Ottoneu username is in your response line. Thanks!
-
If there is a night for the draft that everyone but me is free I can figure my own schedule out or grab a friend to draft for me, and they'd probably be better at it anyways. I can't seem to find star player Jeromy Burnitz every year when I draft...
-
Filled out the poll, too.
-
IT WORKED
-
Still waiting on Uecker to renew; I've pinged him to ask what I can do to help. Once we have our slate of managers locked in, we can move forward on figuring out the draft.
-
…so where are we at with things?
-
that does remind me, the third probably doesn't work for me anymore, so I've updated to show that. Maybe we're too spread out in time zones for this to be feasible, but I will have decent weeknight availability
-
Otherwise, the slow draft's probably going to be our best option -- though I'm not going to worry about locking anything down until we've been able to get Big Lake and Uecker's payments processed.
In the meanwhile, though, fill out the Doodle if you haven't yet: https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/e931zQPb
-
Fellas, y'all've had three weeks to speak up if you didn't like the slow draft. You haven't even filled out the Doodle, kleborp 🙃
Right now, the only time in the poll that currently works for everyone is the evening of Sunday the 3rd. If that works for the remaining three managers (Ryan/Danzig just let me know offline he can make that time), or someone else wants to put in the legwork to find a time everyone can make, we'll go for that.
-
I don’t love the idea of a slow auction draft. I’d prefer a scheduled draft if at all possible.
-
an auction slow draft doesnt make much sense. theres gotta be some date in march that works for everybody
-
We still thinking slow draft? If so...when do we want to start? Mid to late Feb?
-
Thanks, Uecker! I'm sure Niv is handling a lot right now, so as long as everyone's paid during the grace period (before Ottoneu auto-kicks owners out) we should be good. Looks like everyone's rosters are legal (now that I've finally pulled the trigger on my cuts), which is the important thing.
We've also found a new manager for Ira's team--thanks to bumphreyhogart for helping and to prmurray95 for hopping in! We'll set the slow draft start date, likely early March, once everyone's p
-
I heard back and Niv is hoping to know something tonight. If not I'll have a ten day window after tonight to renew which I assume he'll help me figure it out in that time frame.
-
I agree, PayDala is a strange and less than ideal choice. There is a recently posted message board thread in case this goes over any of the issues you’re having:

-
Still haven't heard back from Help, sent another email. Very odd they chose to use an unheard of payment system that sounds like a scam of paypal.
-
Sorry to hear that, Ira. All the best.
I’ve put a few feelers out on the boards already, but if anyone knows someone who’d like to take the team over (or co-commish, if Ira’s interested?), drop me a line.
-
Peace y'all I am out. They won't support my credit card in Canada and the direct bank transfer has failed 10 times. So I am done. Really fucking disappointed in Niv and the platform. Feels like I have wasted the last couple years.
-
I've got an email into help to try to figure out paying but they haven't replied yet.
-
If you're having issues paying through Paydala, I would recommend reaching out to help@ottoneu.com, if you haven't already.
More info on payments from Canada specifically here: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/payment-updates/13220/25
-
Paydala isn't supported in Canada. I can't pay through there. Someone able to pay mine and then I can PPFF you the $$
-
Quick reminder to renew your teams before January 31; the system is slightly different with Paydala this year, nothing too onerous but you may want to give yourself a little more time.
(Also don't forget to make your rosters legal, though heaven knows I can't lecture anyone on that front right now...)
-
This has come up a couple of times, so I'm planning to shift the trade review period to 24 hours, barring any objections by the end of the weekend.
-
Hey. I’m the new guy still trying to figure all the out. Looking forward to getting going with everyone. As for the draft, I’m at Disney the first weekend in march and won’t be available.
-
Sounds good! I've added you as a co-commish, but we can come back to that when we're closer to the draft.
Given the chatter so far, it sounds like the slow draft will be our pick. If anyone has issues or concerns, feel free to speak up; it looks like March 3rd might still be a regular draft option, based on how the Doodle's going so far. Thanks!
-
I'd be up for a slow draft if that's what we decide to do. I'd even be willing to help with roster additions on this site if there's any way for me to do that
-
Same - slow draft works for me
-
I could do a slow draft.

If people are interested I’m happy to set up it, just a bit of work on the back end for you Commish to add players to rosters. But you can also do it in chunks as the draft runs. One of my other leagues does it, generally takes about a week.
-
Ooh, I haven’t voted in the poll yet but I’m team slow draft!
-
If you're volunteering to set it up :D
More seriously, I've seen a few but never actually done one myself, so it might be a fun change of pace. We'd probably need to start that, what, like, late February?
-
Any interest in potentially doing a slow draft via CouchManagers?
-
I filled out the poll but the weekend of 3/16-17 definitely doesn't work for me as I'll be traveling out of the country and back 3/23. As of now, I have another draft 3/9 too. I could do two at once if necessary but I'd prefer the first weekend in March (3/2-3) or the Sunday the week after (3/24).

Copy that. Here's the poll: https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/e931zQPb Pick your times, y'all!
(And I'm still looking for a shortstop.)
-
Personally, I usually have another big draft that weekend. I would prefer another day/night. For me at least after 8 PM EST is optimal
-
Absolutely. Starting off with a wild shot, is there anyone who would *not* be available the afternoon of Sunday, March 17? (Say, 1-4 PM ET?)
If that doesn't work for anyone, speak up and I'll set up a Doodle poll to figure something out. And don't forget to renew your teams!
-
Hi all, and especially Nope, can we get a jump on scheduling our draft? I have two other otto drafts (one scheduled for 3/9 already) and some travel commitments in March which make that a little dicey. Just hoping we can start feeling out availability early.

Looking for a starting SS, if anybody wants to trade. Open to moving Dansby in return.
-
Ryan is our new manager for Danzig -- and with that, we're back up to full capacity for 2024. Thanks, y'all!
-
Hi, y'all! Welcome to Michael, our new owner for Cookie Monster. Jason is stepping away from Danzig after helping bring that roster up from rock bottom, so looks like we need one more manager and we should be set for 2024.
Thanks to everyone for arbitrating! Feel free to renew between now and January 31 and good luck with your offseason moves.
-
Two, four, six, eight, don't forget to arbitrate!
-
congrats to all! guys made me sweat by the end
-
Barring any last-minute score corrections, it looks like kleborp has his 2nd title in the books -- with another very respectable showing from Dan/180. Congrats, y'all, and thanks to everyone for joining us this season! Arbitration should begin in mid-October.
-
Hi all, happy to be on board. Thanks for the spot.

Sorry to hear! If you have anyone who’d be interested in taking over your team, feel free to send them our way.
