FYI: "Eligibility for pitchers exists only for player search, so you can search for a RP if you need another RP for your roster, etc."
-
Thanks ghost that was my only theory that made sense thanks for clarifying. Nice for me in this case.

Due to the weird season last year, Ottoneu held any eligibility that a player in 2019 through to this season. Essentially a player could gain eligibility last year, but not lose it. Machado played enough in the previous season to have it, so he'll have it this year. I'd expect to be gone next year barring something happen to Tatis.

Question about position elgibility. I can’t find where machado played SS last year but currently it says SS or 3B is that accurate for the coming season?

after the server issues and me nominating the wrong Wander Franco brother the draft really moved fast. Now next Sunday I might get a few players.

Draft night boys!!! Very excited best of luck to everyone!!

Amazins and I spoke. He was curious if the “Import Watchlist” function in the draft room worked with an external sheet. It is, rather, internally imported from your watchlist on this site (able to be viewed on your team page). One can add players to their watchlist by searching them and clicking the star next to their name. These “starred” players can be imported into your draft room.
-
Hey, all. There is am Import button above the Watchlist box in the Auction Draft page. however, it does not seem to do anything when clicked. Has anyone been able to import their watchlist?

Thanks. I really appreciate the help.

rPTS is expected cumulative stats over the year based on selected projection system. PTS is projected value without any positional adjustment. aPOS is the positional average weighting (changes based on how you have things weighted up top, but accounts for active roster count ala 5 OF/positional scarcity). Dollars is value taking to account that positional weighting. Dollars = PTS + aPOS + $1 due to minimum bid rules.

One more thing. I've tried to research this, but have not had any luck. I'm trying to understand the table you suggested at FanGraphs. There are a few of the column headers I'm not familiar with Any idea what rPTS, PTS and aPOS stand for? I would think PTS would be projected points in the FanGraph Points system, but it is formatted as dollars so I'm not sure. I've looked in their glossary and Googled this, but I can't find this info. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your help.

Meddles- best place for me (and where I always start) is FanGraphs auction calculator. Let’s you adjust to scoring, roster size, hit/pitch split, etc. (LINK AT END). Surplus calculator is great for offseason moves, keeper decisions, and getting a sense of inflation in the league; not the best for start up drafts.

I was looking at the Ottoneu Surplus Calculator as an auction day reference, but I'm not sure this is a good option. Don't see how to easily sort by position and I don't see any way to search for players quickly. Anybody else use this or are there better tools?
-
Not suggesting a change but will say in another league we are doing a slow auction through couchmanagers and it’s a real nice setup that makes it easy to participate no matter your availability or coast you live in. Looking forward to Sunday night though.

Howdy. Just a reminder that our auction will begin next Sunday (March 27th) at 8 PM (EST). Here are a couple helpful links to see what the auction will look like:

Also, on league home page, you can click "Auction Draft" and tinker around. Your watchlist is able to be imported into the draft room, if you'd like. Anyway, hope all is well. Please, don

In getting ready for the league I noticed Rule IV talks about daily or weekly lineups. Which method will we be using?
-
Just saw the inquiry, below, about co-owners. Until now, I had not known that a commissioner has to add a co-owner for them to join. Sorry about that. If anybody would like to add a co-owner to the team, it seems that all we will need is the individual's Ottoneu/Fangraphs username.

Aces - only commissioners can add co-owners, so you’ll need to ping them with the username of your co-owner.

ATTN: Auction: An email including the results of the survey we've all taken has been sent. Tentative plan for auction dates: 3/7/21 (8-11 PM EST); 3/14/21 (8-11 PM EST [Daylight Savings Time]); 3/21/21 (8-11 PM EST). On the commissioners' part, every effort will be made to accommodate a full draft room.

Sounds good to me. Definitely takes randomness out of a h2h schedule but is also less forgiving to a stretch of injuries or just life getting in the way. I actually don’t think I’ve ever done a points non H2H league so will be interesting.
Excited for the draft. So much prep to do and the time will fly by.

Aces Full: Yes, we will be rolling with FanGraphs Points, Season Long. Per other potential changes to league settings, a resounding sentiment and consensus will have to be evident to make adjustments. At that potential juncture, we would most probably hold a poll. The only exception will be the Trade Wait Period (currently set to 24 hours). If a couple people would prefer that it be changed to 48 hours, we'll make that change.

As someone with a few years of Ottoneu under my belt (maybe the only one in the league?) I’m happy to answer any format/system/random questions anyone may have about the mechanics of the site, etc. For reference, the last full startup I did took a little under 8hrs (we did it as a Sunday marathon starting at like 8AM, with a few 15 minute breaks).

Is the season long decision final? I’m fine with it but I see pros and cons of either. Just curious. Either way I’ll be adjusting to fangragh scoring.

Will our league be H2H or season long?

I, also, would not feel very comfortable drafting this weekend. I'm just starting to wrap my head around a couple aspects of this format. While it's been fun, it's evident that the learning curve is a bit steep. The good thing: it's just baseball! For all who may have missed the e-mail, a poll has been sent out for everyone to vote for their preferred auction date(s).

Today is the first time I've had a chance to really explore the league, settings, message board, etc. I am positive that I wouldn't be ready for a draft this weekend. Hahaha. I'm sure I'll catch on like everyone else. I think I'm in the same boat as most of you (long time fantasy MLB player but first time Fangraphs and first time dynasty league). Looking forward to trying my best to not finish in last place!
-
I will add to not ready for this weekend. Maybe we should focus on a day of the week and time and then try to do it on that day and time for 3 straight weeks or something. I could do almost any night after 8 EST. But for example let’s say we chose Sunday’s. We would just need 3 Sunday’s in March to knock it out.

I'm in the same boat, MH. I feel like I have a lot of preparation to do in order to be somewhat ready, so this weekend would be much too early. Hoping we can find a consensus. My preferred dates have also been submitted.
-
Just submitted my avails for the auction. Just wanted to say, I just joined yesterday and am trying to figure all of this out. I can't possibly be ready by this weekend and would need to back out if that occurs. Not trying to throw any weight around, I just need a little time to get familiar with all this. Thanks and good luck to all.
-
Thanks for having me all. Just a short intro this is my first time with Ottoneu but have played fantasy baseball since AOL Dial-up days. Still play in scoresheet leagues but always wanted to make the plunge to this game. The deeper and more thought in to roster building the better! Looking forward to getting to know everyone, talk some baseball, and hopefully win a little. -Chris

The Ottoneu forum/message board seems like it will be an invaluable resource, as it includes materials such as this: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/ottoneu-auction-draft-kit/1088
FanGraphs also has its own auction calculator: https://www.fangraphs.com/auctiontool.aspx (You can toggle to our league settings (Ottoneu FanGraphs Points) on the right side of the page.)

This is my first time playing Ottoneu and first using FanGraphs Points. Before I reinvent the wheel, what sort of draft day/auction day player ranking tools are available? Anybody?
-
I'm excited also! Spring training games only 12 days away!
-
Thanks for letting me be a part of your league. Looking forward to it!
