Hi everyone! Excited to be taking over 5.5 hole. Thanks for having me. Wanted to clarify a league setting real quick. We are only able to start 2 SP per day with no weekly limit on how many games started we have. Do I have that right? The leagues I have played in previously had a cap on SP starts per week but not on how many SPs started on a particular day. Not advocating for a rule change, just want to make sure I had that right before the auction draft tonight for strategy purposes.
-
A majority of people who voted have opted for 4 games a week! I will make the change in the league settings. Don't forget that tonight is our draft! 8:30 PM eastern time.
-
Let's vote on how many games you want to have each week. https://forms.gle/rLTEA1h3ghvMX4tC9

I am so excited for baseball!! One quick thing, because of the shortened season our H2H league would be very affected. We'd have only 5 or 6 weeks of games in the H2H format. Therefore, there has been added a feature to have teams play 2 or 4 games concurrently in the H2H format. I set it to 2 games, meaning you'd face two teams a week instead of one. But we could even increase it to 4 if people want to play more games.
-
Welcome to our three new owners! I am excited to say that we have a full league now, and we are ready to draft tomorrow evening! Baseball is happening!
-
Hey all, I took over Juiced Launch Angles. Thanks for having me!
-
Mustachioed Gentlemen and 5.5 Hole have new owners! And we have a few people interested in the last team, so we should be good to go for this shortened season.
**Remember, the draft will be this Wednesday at 8:30 Eastern Time!**
-
Okay everyone, I have set a draft for this coming Wednesday at 8:30 PM EST. It seemed to be the most convenient time for everyone, and gives us time to find three new team owners.
-
If we cannot find a common time to draft, we will have to do an offline draft on Couch Managers. The benefit would be we can essentially the draft all day from Monday to the start of the season. But we'd have to be sure not to delay making our picks.
-
Okay, I need to get an idea of when people can draft. So I made a very short google poll. Please fill it out before 5 PM EST today! Thank you. Link: https://forms.gle/1nKhPZM9jk7XzjGn6
-
Okay everyone, I gave the three silent teams until 5 today to claim their team before I mark them as abandoned or search for new owners. Those teams are 5.5 hole, Juiced Launch Angles, and The Mustachioed Gentlemen. If you know of someone who would want to take over a team, please let me know! Also, since MLB starts THursday, we are in a bit of a time crunch for the draft. I am working on the draft aspect and will update you all shortly!
-
Thanks Groan Strain. I have sent Niv your team ID and he will send the commissioner stuff to you right away, probably tonight. And if anybody else wanted to be commissioner and feels left out, always an opening for a co-commissioner.
-
I've been commissioner of football and baseball leagues in the past, but never on ottoneu. If someone else really wants to, go ahead. But if not, I can give it a shot.
-
I wrote to Niv. If someone will volunteer to be a commissioner for the league, we can have our draft and do the season. The season begins Thursday, so we need to act quickly. Is anybody willing?
-
I am in!

Yeah, that's definitely the case, and finding 8 replacements seems challenging in just a few days. The season starts in a week, so we could wait and see if people check in by Saturday. If so, we could try doing a quick draft on Sunday or Monday or something. Otherwise, yeah the season is probably kaput.
-
Well, that's 4 of us who checked in today who are still on board, but 8 apparently missing. Unless they (especially the commish) check in soon or we 4 can find replacements for the missing very quickly, I don't see how we can schedule a draft before the season starts. What do you think?
-
I'm still in as well! I stopped visiting because I thought it was basically over for the season.
-
I'm still in!
-
Wow, didn't realize that. Lol come on guys, I promise to wear a mask during the draft!
-
Doesn't look too good for our league to have a draft. Seven guys including commish haven't visited the site since April or May. Three others checked in during June. That leaves me and you, Bryan. So I fear this league may be going belly up. Our social distancing got out of hand.
-
Now that we have an opening date for the season, any idea on getting the draft going?
-
I think the intent would be to use couch managers as a slow auction.
-
how exactly would a slow draft work in an auction? there would have to be time limits or number of time limits a team could bid? for a snake draft slow draft is no problem, but I don't see it working in an auction
-
slow draft is good for me. But I am guessing we'll keep waiting to see what the league situation will be?
-
I just claimed WRCplusDRC so we have a full league. I vote for a slow draft
-
I agree. Live is better but slow draft works bc of the delay

I would prefer a live draft, but under these circumstances any kind of draft at all is fine.
-
I also think a slow draft is the way to go
Ryan Howard on

-
I'm for a slow draft.
-
With no set date for Opening Day, Iβll officially change my stance from live draft to a preference for a slow draft. π
-
Yes, I'm going to push it back for a bit until we can get everything sorted. Been difficult with everything going on.
Can I get a head count on who would prefer a live draft vs slow draft?
-
Is the draft still happening tonight? I noticed one team still doesn't have an owner. Since we have the time, should we postpone until we actually have a full league?
-
I like the couch managers option the best.
-
Me too.
-
Me too.
-
I am fine with pushing it back a few weeks
-
I am fine with moving it back
Ryan Howard on

-
Moving it back is fine with me. Glad you are OK, Juiced. Hope everyone stays safe.
-
Iβm all for moving it back a few weeks. π
Is the βcouch draftβ a slow draft? Iβm good for that too
-
Sorry! My bad. Been super busy at home with my kids with them being off school and all. Are we ok to move the draft back a few weeks? Keep it on a weekend night. OR, we could always do an offline couch managers draft like last year. Especially easier now that it looks to be integrated with Ottoneu
-
So what's up with our draft? It's scheduled for tonight, but I saw the commissioner hasn't visited the site since Feb 29. Can't do the draft without him. Anyone interested?
-
I am good with whenever the draft is. I am off work now for the next few weeks.

I would not be able to do a draft earlier than 9 Eastern in the evening on Mar 21 I have another draft that starts at 7:30 that evening. I could do one that afternoon if it starts 5:00 Eastern or earlier.
-
Seconded. 8:30 or 9ET would be way better for me too.
-
Could we move the draft just like an hour or two earlier? Starting at 10 PM (I'm on the East Coast) will be tough. 8 or even just 9 would be better.
