Welcome to the league!

Welcome to the league. It is a good active league.
-
Welcome!

Hi, all. I'm the new owner of the former team Replacement Level. I just re-named it Electric City. Thanks, Jeff, for letting me join the league.

In order to better explain my previous message, I remember that I live in Italy and I'am italian.
We imported Halloween and Black Friday, but not Thanksgiving Day.
So no turkey is in jeopardy the 4th thursday of november.
As far as fantasy games, my friends consider me "the strange one that doesn't like fantasy soccer"; so it should be difficult for me to find some new player for fantasy baseball.
-
I am stuffed. I will also ask around.

I'm on and can assure that no turkey has been attacked by me in the last 4 hours. So all my relatives are worried. But I won't attack them either. And won't ask them to subscribe.
-
Post a message on your league page, or ask around the ON Slack community, if you're on there. Or just ask that favorite relative who you talk baseball with at Thanksgiving dinner to sign up. 🦃 2/2

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Later today (or tomorrow) as you slump on the couch in a food coma, think about who you can bring into this great league. Do you have friends or fellow managers from other leagues who want to pick up a team? I brought in a manager from one of my other leagues--who double crossed me by winning the championship last year--but hey, we want engaged managers who will sustain the high level of competition we've had since the beginning of this league. 1/2

I have been traveling for work quite a bit lately and noticed that I had some messages from the message board about arbitration. Did I miss doing something? If so, I apologize. Please let me know what I need to do. Thank you.
-
what happens when 3 teams do not participate in arbitration?
-
Arbitration ends tomorrow night , November 14, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time. If you have not already made your arbitration allocations, please do so before the end of tomorrow
-
Just a reminder to everyone that arbitration has started. Please log in and allocate your arb dollars as required and as you see fit. Let me know if you have any questions.
-
You never know... a friend of ours could be better than an unknown player coming from nowhere, like me.
;-)
-
That would be great, Sons. Although be careful...I brought someone into the league last year who just cleaned our clocks.

If the league would like, I can ask a buddy who is a quality fantasy baseball owner. He has been in my hometown league for 10 years or so.
-
It's an usual event at the end of the season. If we soon could find a new owner, no impact could (also) effect arbitration process.
-
Replacement Level left
-
Do we need a new owner? I thought that I saw that a team was abandoned? Is this true?
-
Thanks everyone. It was a fun season and really liked everyone being so active. Look forward to working on a repeat next year!!! Be nice in arbitration :)
-
Congratulations HCHH, really good job!
-
Nice season, HCHH!!

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!!
