Thank you to everyone for completing arbitration! Few orders of business and then I'll leave y'all alone for a while.
1. The keeper deadline is 7/31, rosters will lock after that until the draft so you have to finalize all your cuts before then or they will cost against the cap.
2. Along the same lines, trade season is open until 7/31! If you're so inclined it's always helpful to follow Sand Snakes's lead and update those blocks.
3. The deadline to renew your team (aka pay up) is 8/1. Looks like this applies to just about everyone as of now, make sure you do this or your squad will become available for anyone to claim.
4. Not sure how people feel about the whole division structure, but I'm inclined to move us to a more traditional fantasy football format with one big division. If anyone has any objections please voice them and we can either hold off on change altogether or discuss alternatives, like moving to 2 divisions or giving our existing ones another shuffle. If there are no objections, I'll make the move at the end of the month.
Best of luck to everyone this offseason!

Hey y'all, Thursday is the last day to complete arbitration, so please do it if you haven't. Once the deadline passes, trade season will open up until the keeper deadline on 7/31, so let's start wheeling and dealing!

Well I feel like a jerk, but Gus had already expressed interest in the team, just hadn't gotten around to claiming it. In a bit of a tyrant move I've booted our new arrival and handed the reins to our 2nd Spy Ponder. At least Jim's ass-kissing attempt has failed.
JJ Sabin at Feb 25, 2022 11:43 AM -
greetings!
Coulda Been a Contender.GB at Feb 25, 2022 11:36 AM -
Welcome to the league!
P.S. Please remember that I was the first person to greet you when you're completing arbitration. You should probably go easy on me, as a thank you!

You will not be missed Book of Eli. Good riddance.
We're lucky enough to welcome Mr. Mike Kent in as a replacement for Barry, 1 more to go. I'm going to put Book of Eli up as available for anyone to claim in hopes we can get someone involved in time to participate in arbitration, but if anyone knows an interested party please let me know.
JJ Sabin at Feb 24, 2022 5:46 PM -
Hi All,
I’m gonna call it a career early, Andrew Luck style, in the hopes of avoiding keyboard CTE. Waited until after the commish transition so Barry didn’t have to try to fill my spot, but my team is also up for grabs. Appreciate the fun season everyone
You but better 3 at Feb 21, 2022 11:14 AM -
Hey y'all, just FYI I'll be taking over as commish. Unfortunately on this President's Day we say farewell to one of our own founding fathers, but I'd like to thank Barry for his work keeping this league together when our erstwhile commissioner went MIA, and always putting together a competitive team and making things more fun for everyone.
First order of business is filling his spot - if anyone has any recommendations please chime in. Worst case hopefully it will get claimed as it's in pretty good shape with a few particularly attractive pieces, but it's always fun to get more friends involved.
Second order of business is arbitration, if you haven't noticed it has begun. We've got over a month until the deadline so no rush, but please make sure you do it as it helps maintain our competitive balance! Expect to be pestered as 3/31 approaches if you haven't completed it.
JJ Sabin at Feb 21, 2022 11:03 AM -
I hate to think I had even a little part in you walking away from the league! I've enjoyed our bartering sessions and league discussions over these years.
my first octopus sex teacher at Feb 19, 2022 12:40 PM -
Hey all,
It's been a fun 5 years but think I need to step back from this league and all the emails people like Scott cause when they bid for 35 high schoolers :) Please let me know if any of you would like to be commish and I can assign you as such. My team is up for grabs if anyone wants to take it over as well.
Hope everyone continues to enjoy the league!

Congratulations on your title, Sand Snakes!

I'm all for a new rule next year to prevent prospect hoarding and maintain roster limits throughout the season for all teams. We just need to discuss it again before next season's draft.
Carolina Cats at Dec 27, 2021 11:18 AM -
Sorry for the confusion but definitely a rule for next year to spread prospects around
East Dillon Lions at Dec 25, 2021 7:40 PM -
ok sounds good
Coulda Been a Contender.GB at Dec 25, 2021 7:21 PM -
Like I said seems like a fine rule, but you 1000% did not discuss it with me
JJ Sabin at Dec 25, 2021 6:10 PM -
I discussed this with a few members of the league who ran up to 35ish roster spots last year (including Puddle and JJ Sabin) and we all agreed to reduce it this year.
I did not advertise it broadly and that is my fault, so this is the final year of this and next year we will have a limit of 30 to stop prospect hoarding.
Sound good?
East Dillon Lions at Dec 25, 2021 5:59 PM -
yea when was this discussed? are you sure it wasn't another one of your leagues?
Coulda Been a Contender.GB at Dec 25, 2021 5:53 PM -
Seems like a fine rule to me, but we definitely never discussed it
In the future, if we're going to make up rules outside the Ottoneu rulebook, think they should be advertised to the league
Thanks in advance
JJ Sabin at Dec 25, 2021 5:45 PM -
All,
We discussed last year that max roster will be 30 and not allowed to hold so many over that amount with bids anymore.
So when the season ends on Jan 4, I expect rosters to be down to a max of 30, or I will random list generate your cheapest players and cut from the top of that list to whatever amount is needed to hit that threshold
Thanks in advance

Sounds good! Just cut Gibson
East Dillon Lions at Nov 2, 2021 11:16 AM -
Agreed with PoM, not being able to trade is one of the punishments for being over the cap. Not sure why we're even talking about this
JJ Sabin at Nov 2, 2021 11:03 AM -
No, Happy Bucs Fan, you will need to cut players to get under the cap before you can make that trade. It isn't a level playing field if you use the league manager tools to circumvent the cap for your trade.
Carolina Cats at Nov 2, 2021 10:59 AM -
This year I've been over the cap and obviously wasn't aware I could trade my way out of it, so I had to make some tough cuts. Had I been aware, I would have tried trading my way out. If we wanted to do this next year, that's fine. But I personally don't think we should be making rule changes halfway through the season.
my first octopus sex teacher at Nov 2, 2021 10:59 AM -
Hey all,
Amon-Ra and I have agreed on a trade but because I am over the cap, the site will not allow me to do this trade. The trade is I get joe burrow and give up Antonio Gibson as Amon-Ra looks for pieces for next year and I get more qb depth and under the cap.
He and I both agree it’s a fair trade but one I cannot make with the league blocking my activity due to the cap.
Therefore, hoping to circumvent this by using the League Manager tools to move Gibson from my team to Amon-Ra’s and vice versa for Burrow. This will allow a “trade” to happen.
We want to check with everyone else if you are comfortable with this approach though.
If so, I 100% am happy to help do this for any other team trying to do a trade but over the cap in the future as well.
