Congratulations HCHH! Well-played this year. And thanks to everyone for a fun season.
-
Hey Cow Holy Hey, however this ends it’s been a lot of fun! Cheers.
-
I must admit I am not totally following the topic here. I hope everyone "plays by the rules". This is for fun, it is a non $$$ league. BUT, my focus is on Squinty anyway. He is lined up for a big last 2 day push. Good luck (sort of).
-
@Commissioner: I'm really relieved from your words and wanna take them as a guarantee. I will let auctions go without interfere with anyone wishes.
I'm sure that any time having more players than "permitted by rules", will be considered a rule violation even if it's a situation "permitted by program" (no matters if auction ends after October 1st, as we already can see).
-
@Squinty Percivals: "I don't think the competitive integrity of the league will be compromised if someone stashes Hurston Waldrep on their roster". Rules states differently and do not make differences on "who" the player is. I already underlined the rule I refer to, no need to say it again.
-
@Squinty Percivals: "Auctions ending on the 1st can impact the final standings." Really?! Kidding me!? Those players can impact the final standing from A, AA, AAA roster????? In a single night? With distances we have one from the other? Please, speak seriously and be honest.
-
Everyone should bid on the auctioned players as they normally would given their competitive situation. For example, last year at this time, the team that won was outbidding me on players to keep them from me because I was in 2nd and trying to chase him down. He kept his roster in order and it was fair under the rules even if persoyannoying to me.
Other than that type of situation, this should not be any different than if you are bidding on players in July.
-
If there is a brazen rules violation, I will deal with it either through using the Commissioner Tools or, if necessary, working with Ottonwu's administration.
For the record, I would consider ZB's stated plan to intentionally overbid the auctioned players with the intent to sabotage the auctions for the sole reasons stated to be such a rules violation.
-
Additionally, I don't think the competitive integrity of the league will be compromised if someone stashes Hurston Waldrep on their roster.
-
Dude. There are still games being played on October 1. Auctions ending on the 1st can impact the final standings.
-
Fun initiatives are known to most owners and can sometimes be unpleasant. I hoped I wouldn't find myself in this situation also in this league. Unfortunately I was wrong.
-
I will offer a big number of $ for each of the auctioned players (when auction ending october 1st or later), so that none of them will have a salary that can considered "fair" for the status of that player.
If you really like one of them I suggest to offer at least 10$. Others will be available at draft for their fair value, as I will not keep none of them in my roster or trade to other owners during offseason.
-
Rules of Ottoneu states that "At no time shall a team willingly go over roster and salary cap limits. If a team knowingly does this, they will face penalties at the discretion of their league's commissioner" (Rules - Rosters - sub C).
-
Given that October 1st is the last day of game, it's difficult to set such a strange case for management program of Ottoneu (this way the result is that you are allowed to go over 40 players and forbidden to release players in order to go back to 40)
-
As you surely know, auctions ending october the 1st, will allow managers to pass roster limit in players (no drop will be allowed from october 2nd to the end of arbitration process).
-
Probably going to run out of games....
-
Squinty comeback coming?
-
It's hard work being a one-team fire sale lol
-
busiest trade deadline I have ever seen
-
And considering IP, we can say it's over.
-
It's a very expensive roster to be looking at an almost 1k deficit to first lmao
-
Gunnar has a $600 team payroll. That is awesome!! Did not know that was possible.
-
When you feel in need of a 1st base to win this season, ask me about Alonso.
-
Best day of the year!!

Okay Kem, to me it works.
-
Yes, the draft date and time are correct. That was the only date that worked based on the responses posted on this board or messages I received from everyone who responded. I also tried to manage the time a bit with our international owners in mind.
-
Is the draft truly scheduled for February 19, 2023, at 3:00 PM CST? If so, I need to make a few arrangements to attend,
-
Hi Hikari, not sure if you’ve had a reply.
Go to Team Settings then Change Team name - save
Not sure about any restrictions, just make it funny 😃

Can you change my team name? I do see where I can do so. Any restrictions to the naming of a team?

Good luck Commish with this puzzle!

Also can't do 3/22.

I am open to about anytime except March 19th in the evening, as I have my hometown draft that day.

Can't do anytime on 2/23, 3/5, 3/13, or 3/21, and can't do before 3p PST on 2/18, 3/4, or 3/18.

I'm going to look at everyone's input over the weekend and hopefully be able to set a draft date and time that works for everyone. If I do not have your input yet, please get it to me today or Saturday morning. Look for the draft date to be posted no later than Monday
-
I can't on Feb 18 or March 11, but not a major issue for me, don't have much spots and money so could fill with auctions and waivers if necessary. All the other dates are good
-
Earlier on a weekend day could work. How about a weeknight?

We could also consider a slow draft. I love live auctions, but a slow draft could be a work-around if it's hard to manage all of the time zones.
-
Suggested dates all work for me at the moment. Also open to an earlier time on a weekend.
-
Any world where we can do something early PST on a weekend so our non-USA folks don't have to do this in the middle of the night?

Thank you for allowing me to join your league. I am excited to be here and will quickly get my roster in order. I am good for drafting except on March 19th at 8:00 pm CT, as my hometown league has its draft already scheduled.
-
I am in Israel. So I also would like that to be considered for middle of the night drafts... And, what is up with Hikari Knights? Needs a new manager?
-
I just scheduled a draft in another league for Mar. 5, so I can no longer do that date here.
