I am available today
-
i can do later tonight
-
I have a work trip Tuesday - Thursday. I can probably be available at that time and with only 2 picks left I won’t hold it up. But it is Sunday. Can we just bang this out tonight?
-
sent everyone an email about this with a little more detail but the tldr is I propose an otto draft tuesday at 7 central. going to set it but we can reschedule etc
-
As commissioner I think it would be most fair to those who were still trying to draft to have some sort of draft continue. 100% we are going to leave couch managers alone for the rest of this season. HOWEVER We need to find 1 hour or less probably in which we could all do a regular otto draft to finish up, and that seemed downright impossible a month ago. It would also be what I vote for but if there is no agrrement on a time frm those who want to do a draft, we should open FA.
-
Rags is the tie breaker?
-
Option 2
-
Option 1
-
Im finished but if you need me to join to slow draft let me know
-
Option 1 for me
-
I'm for option 2

I'm for option 2, starting FA bids. We're just filling out rosters at this point
-
So I’m for option 1 basically 😂
-
There’s 7 of us at less than 40. Can we find a time slot this weekend to do a quick on-platform auction to finish off the draft?
-
No need for anyone to apologize- this has been a big and not really foreseeable mess
-
Hi I will take care of the bids. COuch managers dumped the draft we recreated. I thyink we take that as a message from God a la the Blues Brothers and either (1) do a quick ottoneu auction here for those who have spots/money they want to spend or (2) just start free agent bids.
Please voice your opinion here
-
so... should we just bid here?

Sorry if I jumped the gun on free agent bids. I saw couch managers was down and thought the desk was over. If I win the bids I'll drop the player if already auctioned in couch managers
-
So are we waiting or just finishing bidding on here?
-
Yeah it crashed again
-
Been busy at work lately and sorry if this is a dumb question. Did couch managers go down again?
-
We'll get there. Good to see the updates in the Community forum. Might not be tomorrow, but its only March 6th.
-
wellllllll...........
-
we are off!
-
I will unpause at 8 AM. Thanks for bearing with this whole draft this year- especially the outage. And thank you to those who were done drafting but helped the rest of us finish by signing in to couch managers one more time to creste their team.
-
ok just waiting for 3 people to join the new one!
For next year or for your other couch managers drafts, make the labels for the spots match the otto lineup card but just click select all (all batter positions, SP, RP, and MiLB) for all the positions. that way during the draft a manager can draft a player for any position and figure out getting legal back in ottoneu
-
hi everyone please check your email- even if you are done drafting. I need you to fill your spot in the new auction I created to fix "issue" some players were having with draft vs roster slots.
-
Fwiw I believe you can help speed things up by clicking PASS on any auction that you aren't interested in. I think if 11 teams pass then the auction finishes early
-
OK I just got an email from the CM Manager and he said we could "probably restart now but (he) would wait til the morning" in case more bugs pop up. He is going to work overnight on it. I put the last 33 auctions to finish back up, and lowered everyone's nominations to 1 until we clear some. They are at 8 hours and I really don't want to mess with it. I was hoping we would be done by yesterday, and we were about to be!
-
Can we go back to Tobias Myers? JoeBuckYourself got him for way too cheap. I would like another shot at him lol
-
Feels like maybe the glitch affected the last 18 or so nominations but I’m splitting hairs. I think what you propose is fair. Not a bad idea for drafters to screen cap the board before we roll back.
-
according to the forums, I will need to manually restart all auctions that we want to restart. Like I said, I think everyone after Zyhir Hope needs to be extended/restarted. I will extend them all for 8 hours. the $ automatically goes back in your Couch Managers budget if you had won that player. all high bids will remain in effect. Unless I hear otherwise from someone here I will restart the auctions as soon as tomorrow morning, pending the all clear from COuch Managers.
-
Sounds good.
-
I am going to wait for word that "everything is ok" before I unpause but it will not be before tomorrow morning out of fairness to everyone. it looks like I need to extend a bunch of auctions that finished while we were all locked out, starting with Zyhir Hope. auctions that finished before him would have wrapped up Saturday night. I will research what happens when I manually extend an auction and post info here.
-
Right that’s why it’s paused
-
this is from another slow draft i have going
Just saw this post from Niv on the forums, I'm going to go ahead and follow his advice and wait til we get word that the site is fully functional before we start up again.

Paused for now
-
Yes, it is back up. I am going to wind back the clock on all the auctions that finished over the last 24 hours since 11 AM Eastern on Sunday once I get in front of a desktop computer
-
it seems to be up

It sounds like Mike is working closely with his hosting company to get everything back up. They have data as of yesterday when the downtime started, and the main problem has been that the new beefier server he moved to failed immediately. His hosting company is on it and hopefully we’ll see a positive update soon.

9 am- no news
-
monday morning (Lundi Gras if you're from where I am from) at 6 AM and it is still down. Will monitor!
-
Niv has got in touch with CM and they are doing “emergency upgrades” https://community.ottoneu.com/t/couch-managers-down-3-2-2025/15240
