Given the number of teams you follow this must be the weekend from hell. I'd hate to be your internet provider!
-
I'll be easy on you Commish, I won't be attending, no spots left. Have a good draft you all
-
Auction Day tomorrow 3pm Pacific! This is my first auction as commissioner so please bring patience and goodwill
-
Ah, right, I am familiar with the general timeline of Ottoneu but didn't put together that rosters are locked now because others already made cuts. In that case, I will work with what I have!
-
Trades are blocked from Jan 31st (the date of last cuts) until our auction/draft. The remain open for the rest of the season. Shuts down on Aug 31st until after Arbitration. That is what Ottoneu fun as it is pretty active year round
-
Hello and thanks for the welcome! I have many years of experience with fantasy baseball, including an auction keeper league, and have played in a dynasty-style Strat-O-Matic league for many years as well. But this is my first Ottoneu league, so I will be learning the ropes. Decided to take the plunge after reading a lot about Ottoneu on FanGraphs. I've already started reviewing my roster for keepers/cuts, so I will finalize those by next weekend. In the meantime, feel free to send trade offers!
-
Good news - Riding Pine has found someone to love 'em. They have become Oakland Ballers. Welcome to the league. Let us know if this is your first Ottoneu league or if you know your way around. I have set up (I think, as this is my first season as commish, ) for you to cut players penalty free. Would appreciate it if you could do so by the end of next weekend That should give you time to study your roster on who to cut, but then also finalize the FAs for the rest of us.
-
I'm in many leagues and the unofficial ruling seems to be 48 hours
-
Riding Pine is the only team that has not renewed,. He is technically in a valid status (36 players and under $400 however, although his last login was Jan 28th he made no cuts. I have written to his email. As this is my first time as Ottoneu Commish what are your feelings? 24 hours or 48 hours before putting the team open for re-adoption?
-
Renewed and good with the draft date here (hopefully nothing comes up!)
-
Still three teams need to renew their team Deadline is midnight EST.
-
We have a majority that have now agreed with Auction at March 16th at 3PM PST, 6PM EST. Also please be reminded that team renewals must be paid by Jan 31. We only have three teams that have not renewed yet, but I see the managers are active and logged in these days so I am not concerned (I hope!)
-
#1 is my preference
-
We have no preference. All 3 options work for us. Thanks!
-
Number 1 is fine with me
-
I think any of those should work for me, too.
-
Any of those would work for me.
-
#1 or #3 please
-
#1 please.

#3 works best for me, but I can make #1 work
-

For the Auction I would like to arrange earlier than not. mY #1 choice would be Sat March 16th @ 3PM PST (6PMEST), #2 Sunday March 17th @1PM PST (4PM EST) or #3 Choice Sunday March 17th @4PM PST (7PM EST) . #4 I cant make it at all that weekend. Again I would prefer #1 but please let me know within a week your preferences

The Mookie Monsters are now the Hyannis Habahax and are looking for some pitching
-
Formerly Larry white walkers , The New England Swamp Donkeys are now open for business
-
Hello everyone and welcome to the league. My name is Rico and I like to party!
-
All, Grand Master Hinson is now named Cecil Cooper Singles to Left
-
Hello Larry Walker, +1 to the Commish's welcome
-
Hi and welcome. We have three new managers this year (You, Grand Master Hinson and Mookie Monsters) and I'm a new Commish. Everybody else has confirmed for next year so we be should be good to go.
-
Hello All, taking over Larry White Walkers very excited to join. I’ve only played NL only ottoneu so I’m looking forward to expanding my universe. I’m an active manager who loves a good trade negotiation. Cheers!
-
Thanks, Commish. The league I was in a couple years ago was 5x5, weekly lineups. So FG points, hth, and daily lineups will be new. Should be fun!
-
Welcome to 1157. What Ottoneu scoring system are you used to?
-
Hi all, just signed up for the Hinson team. Lifelong baseball fan, periodic fantasy stuff, played Ottoneu for the first time a couple years ago in a newly-formed league that didn’t survive. Giving it another go this year. Looking forward to learning the roster and scoring format. Thanks
-
Unfortunately Grand Master Hinson asked me to abandon the team as he realized he could not follow it. I have done so and will probably do walkers on Sunday
-
Yeah I think give it the weekend and if nothing we consider their team abandoned. That’s a pretty long time without checking
-
Ok, I am new to this Ottoneu Commish thing so i want your input. White 'Larry' Walkers did not participate in Arbitration and has not logged into his team since Sep 25th, which is a week before the end of the Season (and he was ion the final for 3/4th place) I am pretty sure that he has abandoned. I did reach out a few day before Arb ended but nothing. Should i give a few days for him/her to react to this message and then if nothing I will consider the team abandoned?

If you have any arbitration primers or tips that would be excellent, thanks
-
Excellent, we covered our two vacant positions on the same day. Welcome to both of you. Please note the deadline for Arbitration
-
Hey all, just took over Grand Maester. I'm a pretty active owner and looking forward to joining the league!
-
Your first duty is Arbitration. This is where you get to increase undervalued players on other teams. Let me know if you want some Primers on how to strategize
-
Welcome to the Nameless League, I am going into my third year and I'm still learning. My only warning is that once you start Otto the other formats seem quite boring....
-
Hi guys, just took over Mookie Monsters. First time doing Ottoneu but have done lots of fantasy baseball before and am really excited
-
Put it this way. I will do it even if no one offers to co-commish however I hope there is an "Ottoneu 101" list of deadlines, and how to handle important setups like the draft so I dont screw-up
-
Would anyone be willing to co-commish with Alcatraz Seals?
