I thought you were exaggerating the number of Ottoneu leagues he was in so I checked, holy shit!

Seems fair to me. Papi is in like 100 leagues. And he's in last place here so not surprising. Unfortunate that DCO has to manage the team to a valid state but is the right call. Thanks for the transparency.
-
Just for transparency sake, I DM’ed BPM through Ottoneu alerting him several hours after the 48 hour mark of his roster’s illegal status, and sent an email several hours after the 72 hour mark to try a different method, with a note that I would make a cut if not remedied by 11:59pm eastern on 7/20/23, which is over 4 days from when his roster became illegal.
I used Charter “Additional Rule” #2 to make this correction.
-
After two different attempts to have BPM make a cut to get their roster legal, I have made a commissioner cut. I tried to pick a player of least consequence and didn’t realize Boxberger was on the 60IL which didn’t get him legal, so I reversed it for a player who would.

The MiLB$0 supplemental draft will begin on August 15th at 8:00am EST. I will post the schedule ahead of that so that everyone knows where they are selecting. The draft order will be set based on the current league standings on August 9th after the final update from the previous day’s games. The format will be the same as in the past, with each team getting 12 hours per pick and teams getting skipped if they don’t pick in that time or pick a previously drafted player.
-
The only way to open roster spots on your MiLB$0 team mid-season is to promote the player to your 40 man roster (no free cuts like we do in the off-season). MiLB$0 eligible players who have been cut and are not currently on a 40-man or MiLB$0 roster can be drafted in our supplemental draft, but you cannot draft a player you cut from your own team dating back to the last draft in March/April.
-
You are allowed to auction any drafted players upon them being added to the Ottoneu Player Universe up until August 8th at 11:59pm EST. Beginning on August 9th, MiLB$0 rosters will freeze & no MiLB$0 eligible player may be auctioned until after the supplemental MiLB$0 draft is concluded. The MLB Draftee signing deadline is August 1st, I believe.
-
(repost) PSA: In the wake of the MLB New Player Draft tonight, a reminder on some things…. Players are added to the Ottoneu Player Universe after they have signed with a team. To get new players added, please use the Ottoneu Community Forum - there is already a topic thread created to request new player additions from Niv. You will be asked to provide proof that the player signed, FYI.

I think it is what it is. ZZ, what would be a proposal to remedy the situation?

Niv responded and said that Ottoneu doesn’t support MiLB$0 rosters (though he didn’t discourage these leagues from existing), and stood beside his comments on the topic in 2019-2020 where he stated that he “doesn’t plan to prioritize any effort towards making these customizations part of the Ottoneu platform.”
I’ll post a screen grab of his full post from 2019-2020 that he alluded to in slack.
-
So, any member can nominate a rule change. And 8 people have to agree. And this has to happen during arbitration. Unless someone has a better idea I'll suggest the same exsct rule change again during arbitration.
-
Unfortunately, I don’t see anything on the commissioner side that lets me assign restricted players to teams. I’ll send a message to Niv following up on this just to make sure i’m not missing anything, but i know he has a lot of other things going on that may prevent this from being a top priority, if he’s even interested in this concept. I don’t think there are many MiLB$0 Leagues in Ottoneu.
-
RBF - I believe you’re looking for “Additional League Rules”, #5. Again, i have no issue with the league discussing either rule, but there has to be a consensus on what we would be voting to change to.
ZZ & SFM - i agree it’s hard to track, even for me. clearly, i can’t catch them all lol. i follow @MLBPipeline on twitter, they are really good about announcing call-ups as soon as it’s reported.
-
I agree with ZZ on your last two points. Do we know Ottoneu doesn't have an active spot for minor leaguers? I've also been burned on this rule and agree it's hard to monitor. DCO care to share what you do to catch all of these?

3) Just to be extra clear - I have no issue with DCO. Bryce has been a great commissioner and has always been fair and accessible to me. All the work that he has put into this league over the years is greatly appreciated!
-
2) This makes it hard to not miss them occasionally. Ideally, there would be some kind of notification that an owner would get and if that was ignored, the penalty could go into effect. I know there is no built in mechanism for that, so it is what it is. I messed up in this case and I accept that.
-
Since I started this distraction - I don't like the rule, but that's just probably because I got burned by it. I wasn't trying to get away with anything or skirt the rules in any way. I simply didn't see the transaction, and that's the issue - It's hard to keep track of these minor transaction. I really follow my team and participate and try to compete. I check in and set my lineup multiple times a day. The problem is these Restricted Players are not actually on our roster.
-
A rule change was proposed. And seconded. What more is needed? And where is that laid out in the charter?
My issue with you being patronizing and holier-than-thou has nothing to do with the rules.

if enough people want to consider it during arbitration, then we will - that’s why the charter is there. i’ve said id consider it from the beginning, and that if enough people cared, id look into ways to make it better. that doesn’t say anywhere that you can’t try to get more people to have an opinion or try for a vote. there were only 2 people that even had an issue with it, which isn’t enough for me to waste time on it. my issue with you complaining has nothing to do with your disagreement lol
-
Glad you now say the rule will be considered in arbitration. As this is where you last commented on my suggestion.
"said i’d consider the idea, and if anyone can give me a logical reason that lessening the rule will result in more people following it, i’ll look into ways we can do it that works better. i do think as a rule that is there to encourage managers to make legal picks and remove “extra” work for me trying to police things more stringently, i’m less inclined to open it up to
-
That's despite other league mayes also saying the rules is ineffective. You can try to change the subject but bottomoine is you've ignored a leaguemate. And then patronized them. Then say any disagreement with you is complaining.
