Dude I’m stressing out…I picked three guys and then sorted by position. Not sure if that changed things. I never checked just hit the button and said oh shit
-
I think we should put it to a vote first (jk!)
-
Hey I accidentally cut Soto and Williams. Was cutting two other players and had fat thumb syndrome. Please commissioners put them back on my team. Sorry!
-
Hope this is okay to post but I'm starting an Ottoneu Basketball league if anyone is interested. Scoring format is traditional points format and the draft date is Friday October 8th at 6pm. $50 tier. Fire me a message if anyone is up for it.
-
anyone like to join me in a nba league in this new ottoneu setting?

I would think you could bid on someone if you like them. It is a keeper league. Don’t see any rules preventing it.
-
What's the cut off for keepable. For us losers, are we expected to continue to track all the players that are up for auction?
-
I sure didn't expect a -38 from Darvish...woof...
-
welp, i nailed Gleyber's -4
-
We can only hope Hitmen :)
-
All good here, I was able to get Gleyber's -4 pts and Kershaw's -11.87 pts into my lineup in time
-
You should now be good to go
-
Yeah there’s not much we can do. If you have a match up you can send rob or I your intended starters in a PM and if possible (I don’t know if it is) we can retroactively edit when the solution is fixed. Otherwise, I hope they fix it before the yanks game starts.
-
Looks like it’s an Ottoneu wide server issue. At least that is what forums are indicating.
-
It doesn't look like there are any matchups for this week. My guess would be because it's not a 2-week round that the semis will start next week. I'm sure commish(es) know better but that's the best I can come up with
-
Commish(es) I cannot set my lineup still and I have a 2 pm player today. Please respond.
-
Just an FYI…not sure if the site automatically sets matchups for this week or it has to be done manually but I can’t set my lineup yet. Usually things reset 6am EST
-
Yeah not looking forward to facing you. I’m hoping you just used all of your firepower this past week. And its 21-1 :)
-
Looks like the top two point scorers in the league in the semis! I guess that's best for me. Easier to upset a 20-1 team over one week than over two. Good luck!
-
Good luck everyone! I am actually nervous. If you’ve been watching closely I’m typically not the high scorer each week. My 20-1 was accomplished with a lot of smoke and mirrors. Anyone can win now. It’s going to be fun.
-
At least you get a grudge match to try and avenge the 1 point loss. Good luck everybody!
-
Ligers might only have one loss but I know he’s shaking in his boots :)
-
Bring it on! Good luck to everyone :)
-
Wow, that one point looks to have given me the 5 seed instead of 6! Now good luck to you this week so you get Ohtani next week!!
-
One-point losses are the worst!
-
I find myself suddenly French exit’s biggest fan.
-
Teams will be reseeded for the semi finals, then the finals will be two weeks long.
-
anyone know how the playoffs work? 3v6 and 4v5 but do they get re-seeded the next round?
-
Looks like won't be making the playoffs so anyone who is in win-now mode, feel free to hit me up with trade offers. Willing to get creative.
-
Being a commissioner of another head-to-head league, I will chip in and say that absentee owners make the playing experience worse for everyone. They affect competitive balance by not adding the free agents available, but most importantly, if they check out midyear, they can really affect playoff races in H2H by not subbing pitchers and healthy players down the stretch. Not saying that's the case here but wanted to chip in my two cents.

its not a "huge issue" holy cow stop the crying. the guy saw you hadn't logged in since forever and told the commish and league what he saw. and for the record i wholeheartedly disagree that its not on another owner to call out. BS. just like you said, we all paid same money. i'm in for the enjoyment to get my money's worth. if i'm not getting that money's worth i'm sure as hell allowed to call out problems if i suspect them. you've since proven no problem by replying immediately
-
If it was a huge issue I should have been given a warning a lot earlier because I clearly check having responded within minutes of the post. If abandonment was talked about it should have been brought up by a commissioner. It’s not on another owner to call anyone out on the league board being we all paid the same amount to play.

I say everyone’s here now and the situation has been cleared. We move forward with better communication. We’re restricting nothing for the remainder of the season and will address issues if there still are some in the off-season. Again: everyone paid. This is not a free league and no one played so poorly that they never won anything. Everyone left people on the bench at times. No one cheated or is suspected of foul play.
-
As far as marking him abandoned that was suggested before he reappeared. As Brad said everyone should and will be welcome back.
-
Everybody is absent at times during the season. We all have lives. That’s not the point. He checked his team on one day in May, one day in June, one day in July, and today. He hasn’t made a transaction in 5 months. He has left SP on his bench and active players on his bench costing him a ton of points which resulted in wins for his opponents that might not have been wins. This has affected our standings. I’m only asking that he not be allowed to affect the playoff teams It seems logical
-
Calling an owner out by name, saying they should be marked abandoned isn’t alienating?
And again, there have been stretches where each of the “lower teams” have been absent. Are they being called into question as well?

Detroit, I totally agree. I’m very pleased with the league as a whole and everyone paid the same dues. Everyone replied and I think the issue is settled. After the season we’ll check with everyone and if anyone wishes to leave the league we’ll find a replacement, but as of now everyone is most assuredly welcome back for year 2. I hope everyone wants to stay. :)
-
Nobody is alienating him….he bailed on the year. His lack of participation affected the standings. Trying to make sure he can’t do the same to the playoffs. Whether he trades or doesn’t trade is moot. He should however check his team more than once per month and actually set a lineup. Really surprised that you are painting him as the victim.
-
Leagues are never going to be perfect, and alienating owners during the first year isn’t the way to get a point across.

Really disagree with the sentiment of “pushing owners to make trades” as a gauge of “being an active owner”. There’s been patches earlier in the year where other owners haven’t logged for periods of time as well - are they being called into question? If you participate in arbitration/offseason cuts, it’s an owners right to do with it as they please.

No worries! It’s best for everyone to fully understand.
-
I misunderstood the rules...auctions must be concluded by the end of the MLB regular season, not Ottoneu regular season. I confirmed that with some guys on Slack. It sure would be weird if you couldn't make any moves in the playoffs. Sorry for any confusion.
-
I had read it to be the final regular season real game, but that’s possible. We should definitely clarify this. I’ll look into the rules tomorrow if someone doesn’t beat me to it.
-
From what I understand all auctions must be completed before the regular season of our league ends (so midnight ET on Sunday, September 5)...so you'd have to start the auction 48 hours prior to that deadline. There are then no more add/drop/trades until after arbitration is completed.
-
I could be wrong but I believe all transactions close two days prior to the final regular season ballgame.
-
First year in H2H so I’m curious…do transactions lock for the playoff teams as well?
-
The other thing to consider is that all transactions lock once the regular season is over with...so get all your roster movements done now. Seems somebody is making a run on injured pitchers. Also, one thing I'd like to propose for next year is to do two matchups each week. I'm in another H2H league like that and I think it helps average out over the season. Just something else to think about while were all posting stuff.
-
Speaking of trades - I just put an $11 Jessie Winker on the trade block. I am hanging onto the last playoff spot by the skin of my teeth, and he may not be back in time to help me get there. That is a studly damn player for that price for anyone looking to next year.
