Alright everyone, here's the link to the Slack channel. Should be much easier to flow and discuss different topics there. I've found that these have been great for league longevity!

Capa, can we call you the Kommissar? I love it, setting clear standards early.
-
Thanks again Commish and I will do better. Getting some sleep will help. sorry for the drama
-
If you have any additional questions, happy to help. You (or anyone else) can DM me at any time. Thanks

To pick up a player, you start an auction. If you start an auction on a player, the bid is automaticly $1. You can bid more than $1 if you would like. The winning team is the one who bids the most money. The salary for that player is set at $1 over the next highest bid. So, if you bid $20 for Player A and another team bids $3 for that player, you will win the bid an the player's salary will be set at $4. If the bids are a tie, the tie goes to the lower team in the standings.
-
Got it. I am old but will catch on to the new fangled ways of 2021
-
If someone picks up that player at anytime, your penalty goes away. The penalty is always half of the players salary, rouned up. For instance, a $1 player will have a $1 penalty. A $3 players will have a $2 penalty. It is very common in Ottoneu for teams to have multiple penalties throughout the year. One of the keys to this game is managing that.
-
I gotta get off the espresso and meditate:)
-
The rules section is pretty well organized. Also, the community forum has instructions about picking-up/dropping off players. There is also a few YouTube tutorials.
-
All teams are limited to $400 total to have on their roster at any point. Any player on your roster counts towards that cap. When you drop a player, half of his salary remains as a penalty against your cap. For example, if you drop a $10 player, you will have a $5 penalty. Essentially your cap is now only $395. You can reacution that player in 30 days. If no one else takes him, you can drop him again and cut your penalty in half.
-
Hehehe, I had a minor meltdown when I realized Catchers can only accumulate 162 scored games total. I wasted good draft money on a completely unnecessary 3rd catcher.
-
Looks like I might some bids in this salary range so that will help. Life is a bitch sometimes but no need to take it out on innocent folks just trying to have fun playing a game. My bad
-
I'll stay and should have read the rules. nobody's fault but my own. In too many leagues with multiple format. I thought we had a 100 dollars worth to buy free agents for a year. I cut Franco as punishment and now I have 10 bucks for 5 players which is fine. My apologies for the outburst and I will be subdued from now on. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME HOW TO PROPERLY PICK UP PLAYERS as I seem to have no clue. Thank You
-
Nice job Commish, well said
-
100% in agreement commish. Well said.

Please let us know TODAY if you wish to continue. If we don't hear from you I will assume you are done. I already have an owner lined up to take your spot.
-
If you want to quit – go ahead. I am not going to have anyone hold the rest of us at their will because they didn’t read the rules. Gibby made a mistake in the draft on Happ…he didn’t throw a fit, he lived with it & made trades to fix it. You are $2 over the cap. You dropped 5 players who won’t have a material impact on your results. Re-auction them in 30 days.. If they get picked up, your penalty is gone. If you can’t adjust to overcome that, then maybe Ottoneu isn't the place for
-
With that said, I am not going to set a precedent of reversing transactions. I don’t want to put myself in a position of having to be a judge over whether one reason is better than another to reverse a transaction. The ONLY instance I will ever reverse a transaction is if an owner contacts me within 2 minutes of making a trade telling me they hit the wrong button. 2 minutes….
-
My goal is for this league to continue for the foreseeable future. I am committed as commissioner to replacing owners who choose not to move forward after every season. In my experience in Ottoneu, these are the leagues that survive.
-
Yea these leagues work a bit different than most sites. There definitely is a learning curve. Dont know if getting upset and demanding your mistakes fixed or you will quit is the best way to handle it but I am sure the commish can help out if the rest of the league is ok with it.

REVERSE ALL MY MOVES AND BIDS OR I AM OUT! I need to reread the rules
-
just give me my drafted team back or it will screw up the league. I will just not make moves as this is assinine
-
Big gibby--your post meant nothing--time to find another owner
-
Reverse all my moves and bids i guess as i do not understand--gonna quit--not worth the aggravation for 20 bucks!
-
You keep half of the salary as a cap penalty. It rounds up, so that a dollar player cut counts as a dollar against your cap.
-
I am lost why cant i get cap space by cutting players? Everytime I cut a player it gets worse. About ready to quit as my roster is not legal?
-
Your not stepping on my feet, go ahead and get one set up. I think it would be great.
-
I can, but figured I'd give first crack to the finish l commish

@Cutter, are you going to set up a slack channel?
-
Also, I'm thinking we should do a trophy for the winner.
-
I could do Slack.
-
I use slack in another league and it is much more convenient to communicate on there.

You can start two catchers, but you only have 162 catcher games, same as all the other positions
-
"how soon can we pick up a player as i got pretty brain dead "
-
I didnt realize this was a 2 catcher league. Just wanted to confirm that it was.

We are a little more than 24 hours out on the first night of our draft. We will try to go for 3-4 hours tomorrow. We'll then reconvene and finish things on Sunday night. The second night of the draft usually moves much quicker then the first. If this is your first time and you have any questions, feel free to post here or DM me. Thanks!

I had him on 2 different teams - it sucks for him (and me)
-
Okay, maybe less than 50/50 now. JFC.
-
I am not sure the White Sox are 50/50 to win their own division, much less the World Series (from a Cubs fan)
-
White Sox will not win 100 or maybe not even their own division as the Twinkies are solid:)
-
I think we need a side-bet going; will the White Sox win 100 games, and will they lose a game in the World Series? 50/50 in my book.

Baseball is here! Got my scouts out at camp.
