Nice analysis Kent! I felt like i did overbid on Bo, but I do really like him. Robert and Kershaw are definitely great buys at those prices. How are you calculating the player's actual value amount?

Fun time last night everyone, I was looking back at some of the prices players went for and there are some silly ones. From a surplus standpoint Los Beisbol had the best start to that draft. The $31 Bichette looks like a lot, but it's only a -$10 surplus value, which is palatable. Scullies $16 Dollar Luis Robert and Abe's $16 Dollar Kershaw were the best surplus buys at +$9 each.

Strongly agree with the old school 5x5.

Re: Format. Personally I signed up for the league because it was Old School 5x5. I don't really get as much enjoyment from the other formats and I like the old school stats.

Hey guys - just a reminder! 1st part of draft is set fro February 25 @ 8PM EST. We'll go 4 hours then resume the draft Thursday February 27 @ 8PM EST.
Also, I need to move the dues due date up so we have all dues in by draft day. Please remit $75 by February 24th (venmo: @Ken-Surgenor) or on PayPal (ksurgenor@gmail.com).
I have Brent, mine, and Chad's (took over for another owner). Any questions let me know. Looking forward to a great season!

Hi all! We have two teams that will be traveling internationally during the date selected for the draft. So their are two alternative times I'd like to propose: A) Friday, Feb 28, concluding the 29th (both beginning at 7pm CST), or B) Tuesday, Feb 25, concluding Thursday Feb 27. The only other alternative is to pick a Friday and power through the whole draft. We can do that if you all want - would take about 7 hours or so to complete. Let your preference be known!

Sorry guys! Confusion on who dropped! Trea Bien is in. Los Beisbol’s owner changed to Chad! My apologies for the confusion!

Hi all! Unfortunately, Trea Born’s owner hasn’t to drop out of the league. Fortunately, he found a replacement! Welcome Chad!!

All- Having heard from enough teams, the draft will be held on March 13th beginning at 7pm CST. We will draft for 4 hours and move through as many rounds as possible. We will conclude whatever round we are in at the 4 hour mark. The draft will resume at 7pm CST on the 14th. Season begins Mar 26th.
As a reminder, there is NO auto draft in Otto. You must be present to win! The draft order is also largely irrelevant since this is an auction based draft. Every player is available to every club.

Hey Trea- payouts refer to end of regular season. I don’t know if you can draft on a phone. The draft room is Java I believe. Search the forum to see if that’s possible.
Donkey Hoté on January 17, 2020 8:41 PM

Time to get used to this new website...do the payouts refer to end of regular season standings like in Texas League or are they after playoffs? Either way I'm fine with it. As for draft times those two weekends aren't great but I can do my best to draft mobile (once had to do it from a wedding LMAO) so any of those times frames are the same level of meh for me

It's that time! Finally! Time to prepare for the upcoming FIRST draft. Before we talk dates let's get a couple of housekeeping items out of the way:
1. Join the official Slack thread here: 12menout-otto.slack.com
2. $75 dues are due by Friday, 02/28 (venmo: @Ken-Surgenor)
The next two posts will deal with draft dates and payouts! We're looking for league approval for each item so cast your vote accordingly.

Whew! Awesome sounds good! This is the first in 15 I decided to not play fantasy football so it hasn't been on my radar. Forgot people would be doing that. Excited to finally start an Otto team from scratch!

We’re good Fort Kent... great group here. I suspected it would be a little quiet through the holidays. I’ve played with many of these members in a previous league and we’ve got the best of the best. After we draft it will be full tilt. My other Otto league is in year two and this offseason hasn’t been quiet at all!! I can’t wait for baseball!!

I have been solely focused on fantasy football for the last 60 days and have just started to get into the baseball mode. if we have 12 teams how bout 12 MEN OUT.

So, this league is pretty quiet. I know it is brand new and there isn't much offseason business, but there has been no chatter about a league name or anything. I'm hoping this league isn't dead on arrival. Especially if we are paying up too $100 to play in it.

Re: League name. Do we all have a Geographical region in common, something like that? West 12, Southwest 12, Mountain West 12, East Texas 12, West Texas 12, New England 12? Something like that. Are we from all over?
Arson Judge on December 14, 2019 12:25 PM

Let's get those league names coming in - we'll hold that to a vote. Also, start thinking about when we should hold the draft. I'm thinking early March. For those new to Ottoneu, the first draft takes 6-8 hours so plan accordingly!
Also, as a reminder, league dues are $75 and will be due PRIOR to the draft. More information to come on that.

Happy Saturday! Thank you Ken for the add. I am looking forward to playing in this competitive league for the years to come. I'm already psyched, I wish there was a mock draft somewhere. ⚾️

Good morning all! Welcome Brent Wagar... aka Comiskey Method. Like Bill, Brent found our league via Ottoneu and is looking for some healthy competition! I’m already amped for baseball! Welcome Brent!

Morning all, Bill Denis signing on here. Fort Kent Acadians ready to go! Got tired of rescuing teams in the dump here on Ottoeneu and ready to establish my own. Looking forward to competing with you all.

Hey all! Welcome Bill Dennis (either Stay North or Fort Kent Acadians) to the league. He found our league via Ottoneu and was looking for a super competitive league (which this will be). Welcome Bill!

Let's get those name suggestions flowing... this is going to be a great long-term league!
