@ akron If only we could do that in real life

the turk was active with the sombreros!!
-
Indeed, within 2-3days ill take care of it.
-
Thats correct. Its automatic. I will give the new owner a few days before I lock it again.
-
All new owners get a round of free cuts, no matter when they join.

Welcome Golden Sombrero . Since he was not an owner at the time of the free cuts. can't me give him the time to do that now? All my others leagues have done that.
-
Thanks Taken, draft date is set.
-
Thank you to everyone who sent me their conflicts. I gave everyone a couple of extra days and was able to get the dates that the new owner, Golden Sombrero, couldn't do as well.
The date that everyone can do is March 26th at 8:30 Eastern (5:30 Pacific). I either need commissioner privledges or someone who has them needs to set the draft for that day/time.

Just a reminder to message me dates that you can NOT draft by tomorrow.
I’ll go through all the dates and get a date that everyone can make.

Weekend afternoons are possible but what I've discovered over the years is that, with 11 different owners, most weekend days are taken up by other activities, vacations, kids sports, etc and the evenings are easier to pull off.

Not a problem.
Everyone- please send me the days that you CAN NOT draft between now and March 29th. Please try to be a little bit flexible. Ideally we'd start a draft at 8:30 Eastern time. That gives East Coast people a reasonable end time and allows West Coast people a 5:30 start so not too early
Please send me dates, via the Otto messenger function (the little box in the top right of the Otto screen) by Saturday so I can organize everyone's dates and choose a day t

Again, 3 of my other leagues used a online web site. If Taken or someone else wants to put something together I am all for that. I am away on business this week and unfortunately I don't have the time.

A slow auction is going to need some lead time. We have some time, but we also have 1 unowned team. Starting a slow auction would likely have to be started without that team being owned. If Taken is open to working on finding an auction draft date, then I'd support that and suggest that everyone try to be as flexible as possible.

They may not have mock auction drafts actually, but here is one that you can check out that would be similar to us: https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/?auction_id=402
-
I would encourage everyone to check out couchmanagers.com and sign up for a free mock auction to try it out. I think you will discover its much better than the regular ottoneu auction.
-
Can we a poll for the draft date and time? .My other leagues did an online poll.I am in 7 leagues.This is the only one that doesn't have a full league or a draft date. I heard from my brother who has done Couch drafting and he said it was nothing like GDR. He wrote me that it sucks.

So I looked it up on the ottoneu community site and it looks quite easy. I did it once a few years ago and its very similar to the old Free Agency Blitz back on GDR. Is anyone opposed to trying it this year? For those who don't know the reference, its called a "slow draft" so teams would have like 24 hours or so to bid on players that are on the market, and teams take turns putting players on the market.
-
Anyone have any experience with couch managers draft? I have heard that it can easily be done with ottoneu.
-
I'd be happy to step up and figure out a draft time for the league.

Zips...I think you're thinking of the Free Agent process. The auction is the series of nominations and real time bids that last 15-45 seconds or so per player until no one bids after the highest bid and time runs out.
Otto Who? on
February 21, 2023 2:57 PM

with that said, if you miss the start of the auction, you just miss nominating players to be claimed. you will still have 24 hours to bid on players you want for your team. im sure that no date is going to work for all people, so i will put out an additional date to the two i mentioned before and take the one with the majority of votes. that seems to be the easiest way to go about this. then, maybe, we can talk about a set day/time for each season.

You only offered up two dates and no times on those dates. Not exactly all encompassing. I run three Otto leagues and didn't have much of a problem finding a draft date. Either run a Doodle or ask people to message you when they are not available (between now and the start of the MLB season) and then figure out a day and time that works for everyone. Both take about 10 minutes.

everyone - i have been running my fantasy football league for 33 years. we choose one day every year to hold our draft. for that league, its the saturday of labor day weekend at 5p. that way, everyone knows when it happens and is able to plan accordingly. sure, there are years when someone cant make it, but they get their team drafted for them. that may not be feasible for an auction, but i believe we should consider doing so for this league, like the first monday or saturday in march

You guys are right, can't remember what league but this is the only one I'm in an illegal state out of 130 leagues. I remember now I was suppose to cut Cole, Cronenworth and Mateo to get under but didn't have time to get down to it. Now it's going to cost me a lot of good players to get under with the penalty.

Hey Papi, you might be thinking of a different league. I didnt get anything from you and the trade that went through a few days before deadline wouldnt have put you over that much.
-
Don't get too excited Devils. Paid up long time ago, only reason I'm over is a miscalculated trade that passed after Jan 31 at 00:00, so couldn't do anything. Wrote Commish at that time. ''He didn't even get below $400'' hurts a little bit

Just a quick update. The Akron Zips GM has agreed to run the draft this season so I've granted him access to do that. Two of the vacant teams have been filled, just one more to be filled.

Is anyone interested in stepping up as co-commish to setup and run the auction this year? I'm having difficulty finding the time. I'd hate to close the league after running it since 05 but that is also an option if most of us agree.

One of the things that I like most but Ottoneu is that it is a year round game but with that comes the responsibility to check in the the off season, do allocations, make cuts and pay up on time.

I am assuming they didnt want their teams. If they want them back they are listed in the available teams list.
