1) Totally against any rule changes as Mudville suggests. We either all operate with less info, or more, but we're all on the same page. If we allow leniency for all teams but only some teams need to make use of that leniency, then we're not all on the same page any longer.
-
Can we do away with the penalty of cutting a player for the first week of free agent signings if we keep the same draft date?

Same here stick with it, I'm in many leagues and it could be hard on some nights to make it
-
I say stick with it. Valuations aren't going to change that much. Rescheduling could be difficult. Everybody is in the same boat, so it is equally fair to each one.

I’ve got no particular feeling either way.
It’s already scheduled and rescheduling could prove problematic.
However, no doubt FA’s and maybe some others values will change.
Make me pick, I’d probably say Delay.

I’m in the “whatever” camp. There’s reasons to postpone and reasons to keep it as scheduled. The fact that player values could change based on where they sign has me thinking postponing would be best, but we will all have to be flexible and understanding if a draft date works for the majority and not yourself. It could all be settled tomorrow and this is all for moot, but I’ll believe it when I see it.
-
Some owners are in multiple leagues making it more of a challenge. Other than that you make good points.
-
Other than a condensed time period to agree on a draft date I can’t think of any cons. It’s hard to sync 12 different schedules so it might be challenging to agree on a date if/when things get going again.
-
Fine either way - would just be concerned it could be harder to find a date as many could make down the road.
-
Ok so forget a poll 😊. Please let us know via the message board here if you want to keep the draft on the 13th or postpone it until we have clarity on the season. Honestly I don’t have a strong feeling either way. I’m just upset that baseball is being delayed.
-
I gave points in my message. The variables I mentioned. What are the cons?
-
Agree with Meat. I will add my selfish reason of not being able to make the draft :)

Your missing the context (there isn’t any in messages) I’m not saying I’m pro early draft. I don’t know how I feel about it so I’m asking for input. No rush I’m just curious.
-
How many games are going to be the season? When will the season start? Where will the rest of the free agents sign? I’m sure there are more variables that change things. What’s the rush?
-
We will set up a poll for a vote.
I’m interested in peoples’s reasons. What are the pros and cons of a delay?

I think changing the draft date should be a league decision and can be put to a vote. I’m curious to know why you feel we should. I’m undecided if it helps us or not. I’m looking for opinions.
-
Can we delay the draft until they know when the season is going to start?
-
So 11 teams have filled out the Doodle poll and the date with the most votes (10) is March 13th. We are going for an afternoon start so our international owner(s) don’t have to be up during the middle of the night. You will be able to visit the draft room prior to the draft date and set up your watchlist/queue. The draft will probably take 3 hours.
Draft: Sunday March 13 at 3PM

Sunday afternoon is fine with me.

Any date is fine, I like weekend afternoons also
-
Phew! Glad deadline day is over. 10 teams have signed up and completed the Doodle poll. March 13 remains the best date with 9/10 saying it’s good. We will give it a few more days for the other teams to complete the pool and then set the date. If Sunday 3/13 ends up being the date are owners open to an early afternoon start instead of an evening?We do have one international owner so trying to prevent them from having to draft in the wee hours of the night. If that’s a deal breaker please respond.
-
Happy deadline day! I realise I've made a lot of cuts but always eager to made some last minute trades. Will be responsive.
-
The league is full! Welcome to Lollygagging Ligaments! Remember the cut and trade deadline is tonight at 11:59 PM. Also a few teams still need to fill out the Doodle poll. It’s looking like Sunday March 13 is the best day so far for our draft. We will be setting a draft date in the next few days regardless if everyone has completed the pool. So please do it.

Welcome Mudville!

Please welcome Mudville to the league (he took over for Matsui's team). We are still needing a manager for DEA's team, so if you know anybody interested in taking over, let them know we have an open spot.
-
Looks like both Matsui and DeHud failed to renew their teams. Both are posted under the claim team link. If anybody knows someone that may be interested please let them know. The quicker we get new owners the better.
-
These are good questions. As a lot of owners are first time Ottoneu players it’s important to ask the questions now so we all can learn. Also make sure your team has $1 available for every roster spot. If not you will be illegal. For example if you are keeping 30 players your salary has to be at or below $390.
Lastly please fill out Doodle poll for draft date availability. I’ll email a link to all owners now.
-
The deadline day was moved to Feb. 15.
As for not being under the $400 by the deadline I pulled this directly from the community forums…
What happens if a team is not legal after the keeper deadline?
Unless their commissioner helps them out, that team will not be allowed to participate in the auction draft. After the auction draft, they’ll have to make cuts to get legal anyway, and those cuts will not be penalty-free. So, it is pretty dire if you don’t get
-
Two teams did not renew. They have a 10 day exclusive window to renew their team. If they don’t their teams go to the public claim team section and anyone can claim them as a new owner. We will know tomorrow as that is the end of their 10 day window.

https://bit.ly/3snpNW3 Here is a link so we can get something on the calendar for our 2022 auction. Please go through and check ALL dates that you are available. Keep in mind, the auction typically takes ~4 hours. Once everybody has voted we will schedule the auction. Hopefully, we can find a date that works for everybody, but if not, we can get an experience Otto owner to be your proxy. Also, cut/trade deadline is Tuesday, 2/15 and it will NOT be extended, so plan accordingly.
-
So as a first time commissioner I am learning as we go. When an owner fails to renew by the deadline Ottoneu sends them an email. They have a 10 day window as the only owner who can claim the team and then it goes in to the public area where anyone can claim it. We are still waiting on two teams.
https://community.ottoneu.com/t/when-do-expired-teams-become-available-to-the-public/6903
-
Last reminder at least from me. We still have a couple of teams that have not renewed. If you don’t renew by the end of today 1/31 then your team automatically gets marked abandoned and any new owner can claim it. This is an Ottoneu league thing not league specific. If you want to continue take the time to renew ASAP.

Friendly reminder that everybody needs to renew their team by tomorrow (Jan 31st). If you do NOT plan to renew or stick around for next season, please let me or Shotani know as soon as possible. Still got 2 more weeks for trades/cuts so let's get after it!

Sorry about that. Use this link (https://community.ottoneu.com/t/ottoneu-on-slack/5774/273) and post your email address on the forum. You will then get invited to join the Ottoneu Slack channel...and from there we can add you to the league channel.

Just send me a message to my team directly...or you can post it here. Hitmen, you should be in the league Slack Channel now.
-
Not sure how to DM you but my user name is tavo2311

And yes, the original Center Field of Gravity Slack group will eventually be shut down, so I want to make sure we all transition to the new channel. Let me know if you have any issues getting in or joining the Ottoneu Slack group.
-
Also, we are creating a new channel within the official Ottoneu Slack page for this league. If you're not a part of the Ottoneu slack channel, please join that by using this link: https://bit.ly/3GwNW2h. If you're already in the Ottoneu group, please send me a DM with your Slack user name so I can have you added to the league channel (#center-field-of-gravity). This will be a great tool to communicate about this league but also be exposed to the groupthink of other Ottoneu owners.
-
Correct...I'll give it a few more weeks for the auction day poll since we won't want to draft until later in February. MLB Spring Training is *supposed* to start on Feb 26th, and the regular season is *supposed* to start on March 31st - but hopefully, the lockout is concluded soon!
-
No the draft day is not Feb. 1st as it is showing. When we changed the rules from one matchup per week to two it automatically set that date and there is no way to change it back to pending. Threat Level Midnight will be posting a Doodle poll after the 1st asking for everyone’s availability. We are still waiting on a team or two to decide if they are sticking around.
