No. I believe there will be a poll posted on the message board sometime soon and we will vote for a draft day.

IS DRAFT DAY FEB 1ST AS POSTED?

Happy new year to all, fingers crossed for start of training camps on time, open for trades
-
I agree we all could communicate more (including myself). Looking forward to this next season of Ottoneu if baseball goes ahead! Big fan of the H2H format.
-
Lastly regarding communication. Using my past Ottoneu experience as a reference I would characterize this group as really quiet. :) The more we communicate and interact the greater the return, at least that is how I see it. A bad trade offer is not an attack on anyone's intelligence and not responding to messages because you may think they are stupid only lessens the experience. Please take 30 seconds to reject the offer and give a quick response to messages especially on the message board.
-
Later this month Threat Level Midnight will post a Doodle poll on the message board so we can more easily find a date for the draft. Please fill it out when you see it so we can solidify the plan quickly. Some owners have multiple teams hence multiple drafts. With our busy personal lives finding an acceptable date can be challenging. If we are all flexible and communicate it hopefully will go smoothly.
-
I thought I'd touch base and let people know about a few upcoming deadlines. If you are planning to give it a go for another season you have to renew your team by 1/31. If you are not planning on coming back let us know so that we can mark your team as abandoned which enables us to find another owner. Also all of your cuts have to be completed by the end of the day 1/31. Your team must be under $400 and legal with all positions covered and $1 for roster any unfilled roster spots.
-
Ok so 10 of the 12 owners have all signed on since the last post requesting feedback about changing to two matchups per week from last years one matchup. There have been a few positive reactions and zero negative reactions. I can only assume that nobody is opposed to the change. Therefore I did make the update and we will be playing two matchups per week. I hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday!
-
Ya, I like 2 matchups a week as well.
-
let's do it.

Guys please provide any feedback positive or negative on possibly adding another matchup to our weekly schedule. I’m in favor of it but would like to hear others thoughts. Obviously nothing will be changed if the majority of the owners are against it. Please post your thoughts on this message board.
-
Lastly let’s all welcome Big Papi memories to the league. He is an Ottoneu veteran and brings multi league experience. I for one am looking forward to playing against him.
-
Also Vandelay Industries has been abandoned so if you know anybody that might want to join please let them know.
-
Hey Guys! Chris (Threat Level Midnight) and I are now co-commissioners. I promise you we will be attentive to any issues and answer any questions as promptly as possible. If you have ideas or concerns on how to make this league better please reach out on this message board or personally to myself or Chris. We are thinking of adding a weekly matchup to the schedule so we’d be playing two teams each week. This should help even out the standings. That means 44 games instead of 22. Thoughts?
-
Just wanted to let y'all know that Brad, from Brad's Team (duh!) has decided not to return to the league. I have marked his team as abandoned, so if y'all know of any active owners that would like to join...let me know!
-
Also, I would like to correct the roster error (Soto + Devin Williams) made by Shotahni at the end of the regular season soon. Again, post here or shoot me a message if you are against me correcting that issue and placing Soto + Williams back on his roster.
-
Hey guys, I've had Niv add me on as a commissioner in hopes of helping keep the league around for year 2 (and beyond). If the original commissioners come back and show they're planning to be involved I'll happily take a backseat. If not, I would like to add Shohtani on as a co-commissioner so that there is always a backup or checks and balances to keep the league working fair. If you have any objections to this please post here or shoot me a message. Thanks!
-
I agree that there needs to be a change. Neither commissioner has responded in weeks and they are the only to two teams that didn’t arbitrate.
-
HOW CAN YOU BE COMMISH IF YOU DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN ARBITRATION? MAN-UP GUYS, OR TURN THIS LEAGUE OVER TO SOMEONE ELSE.

Sweet, thanks to you and DEAhud for getting it done!
-
My arb is complete.
-
Let’s just get through arbitration and see where we stand next week.
-
I enjoyed this format and hope to be back next year but I would agree that the lack of communication from commissioners for this long is rather concerning.
-
Thank you! But you have to use all $25 or none of it will count. You still have $5 left over. The rules are that $1 must be put on all teams and you can’t add more than $3 to any team.
-
OK i've done arbitration.
-
Believe me I completely understand the frustration. I’d ask again for everyone to please arbitrate. Arbitration allows you to add $25 of salary to the league. It helps with parity and is essential whether you are going to be the owner of your team or not. If someone decides to leave the league the team gets posted for someone to claim. The team will get claimed and the league continues. In my experience I have found that owners that are leaving usually arb for the good of the league.
-
I refuse to do arb until we hear from the commissioners. I don't believe I will be returning given their lack of giving a crap (and some other gripes not worth repeating) and so I don't feel it is fair to take part in Arb which I see as affecting next year, when I won't even be here.
-
Only half of teams have done arbitration. both commissioners disappeared. I like this format, but worried about lack of leadership. can we ask for a new commissioner?

i think a more important part of an active and healthy league is commissioners that log on, reply, fix errors as they said they would BEFORE we do arb, owners that set lineups, and other owners that dont defend that owner when called out for not setting lineups. just off the top of my head.....
-
2 weeks left to complete arbitration. I hope everybody participates because this is an important part of the Ottoneu structure...also showing we have an active and healthy league.
-
It’d be nice if more people chimed in. Haven’t heard from Brad for a few weeks. Rob checked out mid September. How are others feeling about things? I think we all need to arbitrate to keep the league moving forward. Plus Soto and Williams need to be moved back. Even if you think you might bail on the league please participate in arbitration. You have your team until January before you have to decide if you are staying or going.
-
Has this still not been done? Have Brad and Rob responded via other means to the two affected teams?
-
Brad and Rob the longer you leave Soto and Williams on Midnight’s team the more it will pollute the 2022 season. Please log on and make the move.
-
Haha yes...you can only allocate $3 to one specific team, but you only get $25 total to spend. So choose wisely on what team and what players you want to add money to. Here's a good article from last year about arbitration, for those that want to learn more about it: https://www.pitcherlist.com/ottoneu-arbitration/
-
Ha. Thankfully there are rules on how much you can allocate to any one team. It is important for everyone to participate in arbitration. It drives up productive player prices and helps shorten the window that each team can keep their star players.
-
For clarification...all your arbitration should go straight to Shohtani's team :)
-
Arbitration starts tomorrow. If anyone has questions please reach out on this message board or on Slack.
-
A good reference for things to come in the off-season: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/end-of-the-2021-baseball-season-megathread/10153. Brad...since nobody has objected, can you move the 2 players back to Shohtani before arbitration opens? Thanks!
-
No issue here putting Soto/Williams back on Shotahni's team. Looking forward to a fun off-season and year 2!
-
If you all look at the league settings, it was never a two week championship. Sorry for that confusion and also for being out of reach, but I don’t think anything happened that shouldn’t have.
I tend to agree that the Soto situation should be put to vote, but if no one has an issue we’ll replace him back to the original team.
Sorry again for being out of touch, but the league is definitely going to continue into the future. :)
-
There’s definitely a league next year. We’ll get everything sorted.
-
We will definitely have a league next year. There will be some turnover but that happens in every Ottoneu league. Let’s give Brad and Rob a little time. I know they were traveling together so I hope everything is ok. They don’t seem like the types to leave the league without letting us know. If they don’t reappear by the end of the season we will have to email Niv and get temporary commissioner access to someone we can agree upon.
-
That is awesome of you Threat Level. But I have to question at this point, do we have a league next year? One of two commissioners has been non-responsive since before the all-star break. No one but Sho and I seem to have an issue with another member that hasn't set a lineup since last winter, materially affecting the standings/results and thus the integrity of a fair league. I have to say, I'm not optimistic here.
-
Thank you.
-
FYI - I made a claim so the players would at least have their salary frozen and be on a roster once the season ends and the $2 is added. However, commish should remove from my roster and put back on Shohtani when able. We should not start arbitration with Soto and Williams on my roster or that will skew things. If any issues with placing these guys back on Shotahnis roster speak now or forever hold your peace.
-
Well that complicates things. Soto and Williams were mistake cuts. Obviously I’m not cutting Juan Soto
-
Still no word from the commissioners…hope everything is ok. It’s been over a week since either has signed on and they are not responding on Slack.
With that being said does anyone have an issue with Soto and Williams being placed back on my team? I obviously don’t want to cut them and should have actually paid attention to my thumb presses. Just want to run it by the group as well.
-
Thanks.
-
The matchups all say FINAL...so I assume it's over. Congrats on a solid season!
-
If anyone has an alternate way to contact Rob or Brad I’d appreciate it. I’ve tried messaging through the site and Slack. Not sure if the season is over or not. The site won’t let me set a lineup but I thought the finals were two weeks long.
