did we get a password to join CM?
-
Also a warning, CouchManager position eligibility rules are different than ottoneu's. So don't rely on the roster organizer in CouchManager and make sure to double check position eligibility!

Ok fellow managers, here is the link for the couch managers auction
https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/?auction_id=732
you will have to create an account if you dont already have one. Our auction is number 732. If you put your team name in there I can get all the keepers slotted in, and we can get started.
-
Yes sounds good here as well. Thanks for the additional details on how this will all work.
-
sounds perfect for me!

Yes sir sound good!

shall we begin the slow draft the morning March 03? would leave us time to see where some more FA go, Spring traning developments, and still almost certainly be done before the Seoul Series. i am going to start setting it up but lmk
-
I thought the settings were fine last year but I am open to shortening the bid window. It kind of depends on how often you want to check out the auctions, I think.
i think the other thing to note is that you can only have bids out there equal to the amount of available cap. If you have 100 available, you can only have current bids that add up to 100
-
I've done slow drafts, you certainly do not need a 24hr clock..12 works
-
If Team 2 bids a dollar more on Acuna, then Acuna's clock would reset and if there are no other higher bids after 24 hours, team 2 would win.

Last year, it took a bit of time to work through all the auctions. I think it took a couple of weeks

Basic idea is that every team nominates X number of players, for example 3 players, all at the same time. Teams can bid on any player at any time. Every time you bid on a player, their auction clock gets reset. Once there is no more bids on a player after a set amount of time, whoever bid last wins the auction and they can bid again. For example, I can start the bidding process on Soto, Acuna and Carrolll all at the same time. If there are no other higher bids after 24 hours, I would win.

I am game for a slow draft. I did a slow draft last year (standard, not auction) and it was a ton of fun. That draft took a week to complete. Is this like a 1 day event? Is there somewhere I can read up on how it works? Just curious as I’ll have to balance my attention to the draft without totally mailing in my work day 😂.
-
ready when you are

Welcome Wrecking Crew!

Welcome to the new guys! Thanks for jumping in. This should be fun!
-
Welcome to the wrecking crew! We now have a league that is paid in full. Let’s help our new manager get settled and start talking about the draft soon.
-
Team marked abandoned. We will set a slow draft start time when a new manager signs on.
-
please do
-
as I communicated to everyone via league email, I will abandon a1-b1 in the morning if the fees are not paid. I get up early!
-
Not yet! I have reached out. It auto abandons on 2/10 according to Niv
-
I'm good with slow draft....has that manager renewed his team?
-
Welcome to the Bandits! I am temporarily setting the draft back to the end of the month for now until we reach a concrete decision, but all input so far has been in favor of/ok with slow draft using Couch Managers
-
I have reached out to the manager a couple of times
-
I know I'm brand new but what's the deal with Al_B1 and his $67 over?
-
Good Morning all, I've taken over Beachboys...I'll make my round of cuts soon
-
Beach Boys decided they were out the day before cut day. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ I made a post on the "managers wanted" community page and will give the new owner a round of penalty free cuts AFTER they pay.
-
Please get in there today and make cuts AND RENEW YOUR TEAM IF YOU HAVE NOT (2 TEAMS LEFT)! TODAY is the LAST DAY.
Remember that you have to cut the players; your roster organizer will not automatically make cuts. You can use the Cut Players screen under your team's tab or indvidually click on each player you would like to cut and click the red CUT button in the window that pops up.
Draft on the horizon- leaning hard to couch managers slow auction but please give me input.
-
Welcome to the league! If you have any questions about how anything works just give me a shout. It took me…two seasons to figure it out lol so I’m glad to help
-
Hey all. Excited to join my first Otto league. I remember reading about the launch of this platform all those years ago and feeling a little intimidated. My obsession with fantasy baseball has grown over the years so I am pumped up for the year round activity. Looks like I might have my work cut out for me but am up for the challenge. Please feel free to send me any advice you have. Good luck this year to all.
-
I like the slow draft personally!

So, the website for slow auction is couch managers. I’m not an expert on it (remember I am only commish now bc the last one quit in October) but a lot of leagues use it and I prefer it, honestly, as someone in multiple leagues and a job and kids etc. We don’t have to coordinate 12 managers to be online at once if we use it.
How does everyone else feel about a slow draft again? I think 1 or 2 people didn’t prefer it last year
-
Any chance we use the slow auction again like last year? I really liked that! What was the name of that site does anyone remember?
-
I'm putting pressure on my buddy to take the team but he's iffy on the idea to say the least. He only plays normal roto so this league seems like a lot to take in. We'll see. How soon do we need to have it filled?
-
I say be patient. It’s early. Somebody will pick up the team. I’m not the least bit interested in having a player or two taken off my team.
-
but... if you guys know anyone who wants to play the best fantasy baseball there is please let them know a team is available! easiest way to fill is through connections/peer pressure
-
Niv himself checked in on the thread and called that guy out. Have a different guy interested right now
-
I'd prefer paying an extra $5 or so for his team, but I'll go with the majority.
-
Two seems like a lot. I'll be ok with just dropping one player from each team as an expansion draft sorta vibes.

Only had one response to my community post on Managers wanted so far: I’ll claim IF the rest of the league covers the first year league fee for the rebuild OR I can select two players from every team to drop so that all teams have a chance at auction to get SBs & Saves, which are largely locked up it seems.
Do we want to do this? If not might need to ask around in your other leagues here and elsewhere to get it covered!
-
team is marked abandoned and listed on the managers wanted community page.
-
Looks like we are losing one owner- if anyone knows a player interested in picking up the bat flips team, send them my way
-
Hey Everyone, I hope the holidays were kind to you. 4 of 12 owners have renewed for 2024 season so far, which is pretty good! Everyone else, you are pretty good, too, but please note you have about 3 weeks to make that $75 commitment. Please note the new payment system this year that otto is using, so probably a good idea to get extension out of the way before the 31st of January. And if you are leaving the league, just give us a heads up ASAP! In February we can start talking draft.
-
Hi everyone!
Next step is renewing league fees- 41 days til they are due!
Talk to you in 2024. (PS I am still very agreeable to someone else taking on the commissioner job).
-
I can (I think we all can) see when owners check in to Ottoneu and it looks like everyone has been actice recently, so cheers to a scorching hot trade season
-
Dear Summer Classic-als,
The Arb season is over. Thank you for your timely participation (save for a single exception ¯_(ツ)_/¯ ). You will notice that your trade functions are now functional, so go at it if you wish. I would only ask that if you are on the fence or leaning "no" to renewing league fees, leave your roster as is and let me know asap so we can find another owner with no hard feelings!
-
HI everybody. We still have a couple days left to set arb amounts. If you havent done it at all, please get in there. If you want to make revisions, also please get in there.
Next up will be renewing your league fees and setting up a draft day!
