Nevermind I see it's adjusted, 135 GP / 1250 IP
-
So is there a different GP and IP cap for this league or is it the same and we'll pretty much never hit it because we wrap it up a month earlier?

Auction Draft Day 6pm Eastern
-
My plans keep changing as I’m out in Los Angeles with a lot of friends for the weekend, sorry again don’t move it again if I can make it I can make it thanks again
-
I moved the start time to 6pm to help fit you in. Does 6pm start time not work anymore? A lot of teams were available to join auction draft on 15th based on the poll
-
Sorry I’ve been traveling for two weeks, I am going to try and make the draft tomorrow, but if we can push it any day patch March 17 would be fantastic for me, if not totally understand
-
There are also some videos on YouTube and other platforms showing how it's done. Here's one by Chad Young from fangraphs: https://www.youtube.com/live/4ZnzmxMi6DU?si=ST9s1RCwlOZ3dnAH
-
Not to be "that guy" lol but section II of the rules (https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/rules) is a solid overview of the draft process!
-
Each team will take a turn to nominate a player for auction. League members can bid $ to win player.
-
Hey everyone! For those of us who are new, could you explain how the draft process works?

Auction Draft is tomorrow night. Everyone available to participate? Any issues?
-
We are getting closer to the Auction Draft Date 3/15 @ 6pm eastern. Please plan to be online a little early so we can start at 6pm. Let me know if you have any questions!
-
For 3/15? Works for me!
-
I don't have an issue with moving start time to 6pm eastern.
-
Hey guys, sorry I had posted that I could not draft the weekend of March 14 to 16th as I am traveling for work. Looking at my schedule now, could we possibly start the draft at 6pm Eastern? I have a dinner in LA at 630pm West Coast time, so starting earlier on the 15th is the only way I could make the draft. Thanks
-
Yes 3/15 @ 8pm Eastern Time
-
Nevermind, I see it says Eastern above
-
Thanks, Commish. Central or Eastern Time?
-
I have set the Auction Draft Date for March 15th at 8 pm. Tyler Durden Fight Club & NYS please fill out your availability on the poll. Date & Time Subject to change. Please reach out with any questions.

It also might make it easier to fill that last spot if we have a draft date already set!
-
All good. Feel free to reach out to anyone with interest in joining.
-
Appreciate that, commish! Didn't mean to overstep, just trying to contribute to the effort.
-
I have been sending out emails to the people on managers seeking leagues. Also active on the community forum.
-
We are still short one, does anyone have any leads? I posted on the managers wanted channel in the forums, maybe we can also reach out to potential managers on the "managers seeking leagues" page (https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/available) or post on slack, etc. Niv says there has been a lot of new visitors to the site, perhaps due to his appearance on pitchcom...

Thank you, I love the Die Hard reference. I know we are waiting on one more, I am out of town March 4 to 16th would be happy to draft after or before those dates
-
Welcome to the party pal, happy to have you aboard. Just need an owner to claim Odoacer’s Lombard Breakfast then we should be ready for lift off.
-
Your team has no cap penalties. Recent cuts made successfully
-
Hey gang, just took over the Lollygaggers. Would have kept the team name but I got another team with that name. Commish I think you have to enable cuts for me. Headed out for the night but will get them done tomorrow as I already know who I am cutting. Yes Soto will be avail
-
Team Lollygaggers will not be returning for the 2025 season. Can't commit to the time it will take to keep up with it. We are now looking for 2 owners to fill league.
-
Reminder the Keeper Deadline: Friday, January 31, 2025 11:59 PM EST
It is also the deadline to extend ownership of your team for the 2025 season. The cost is $50. You can pay league fees on the Ottoneu Dashboard. Look on the right where it says paid through to extend now.
-
Hey everyone just claimed this team. Send in offers on anyone I am open for business on anything. I have a lot I need to do in a short amount of time before the keeper deadline. Excited for the season.
-
Welcome to the league, Fowl Ballers! 10/10 name.
-
I haven't been able to contact the owner for A Team to be Named Later. Decided to look for new owner. Will work on finding new owners for Vacant Teams through Ottoneu Community.
-
Welcome!
-
Hey guys, AKA Big Papi is now Fowl Ballers. Happy to join the league, points+playoff sounds like a fun format! Trade block is updated, hit me up to talk trades or feel free to send offers.
-
Odoacer's Lombard Breakfast will not be returning for 2025 Season.
-
IL Incorporated will not be returning for 2025. Currently need new managers for AKA Big Papi and IL Incorporated.
-
AKA Big Papi Thank You for participating this year.
Arbitration starts October 15th and Ends November 14th.
-
Hi Commish and owners, wanted to say it's been a pleasure playing with all of you this season. Got way too many leagues and cannot maintain the rythm (time consuming and $$$). So I won't be renewing many of my leagues like this one, got some talent to attract new owner for next year so you should be able to quickly fill vacancy. have a good arb and a great future season! Thanks Commish for great work
-
So, what is it of your business?
-
FYI, Ottoneu/Fangraphs is having some data issues that may affect scores and standings. More here: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/offensive-stats-missing-from-8-7-24/14476/13

Vacation Julio here again. We’ve been in close contact with our life coach, legal team, and psychic and would like to formally apologize for any hurt our actions and words have caused. Our roster is compliant, and we are conducting a thorough internal review to ensure this never happens again. Thank you for your patience and coaching as we sputtered through this. We pride ourselves as an upstanding organization as there’s a drive into deep left field by Castellanos.
-
If Yoshi goes unclaimed and started for a new auction you can't wait for that to resolve your roster. My deadline as Commish is giving you a little more time to correct roster. Chance he gets claimed could resolve it.
-
The reason 5d isn't left to stand on its own is because it really doesn't matter if a 9th place team who is playing for the future can't make roster changes... Hence rule 1c. Really shouldn't be that much to ask for everyone to read and follow the rules.
-
The 48 hour thing is only "arbitrary" because it's *more* lenient than rules as written lol. I think we're all fine with this ruling, but the spirit of the roster rules is that you have to immediately make cuts to get your roster legal. Seeing if Yamamoto is claimed off waivers is already a questionable "plan" (but again, I think there are no huge disagreements here) - you guys are clearly "willingly go[ing] over roster and salary cap limits", which is a direct viol
-
Unsolicited, "not the commish" opinion here, but I for one have no desire to be a rules hardass - especially for a make-believe game. That being said, I think it's reasonable that everyone has a common understanding of the rules of the game and comports themselves accordingly. (Yeah, I used comports in a sentence; get over it :))
