Draft day? Opening day this year is 20 MARCH. The Saturday afternoon before that (our traditional draft date) is 16 MARCH (which happens to be during the B10 BB tournament). I can make that day work if we go early or late. By early, I mean 0800 CT....by late, I mean 1800 CT. Thoughts?

We have one potential new owner, and am still looking for another. If you have someone who is interested to play, please send me an email and I will engage with them. Bruce has nominated his brother, and I have messaged him. The keeper deadline is 1/31 so it would be good to get new owners online before that so they can strip down the two old teams in preparation for the rebuild at the draft.

Returning owners, we are looking for two new owners. If you have suggestions, let me know and I will contact them to determine fit and confirm interest.

Arbitration is now complete and salaries are updated on your roster pages.
Before the end of arbitration, players may not be cut. Between the end of arbitration and the keeper deadline, players may be cut or traded. After the keeper deadline and before the auction draft, teams may not cut or trade any players.
Thank you to Jared and Anna for your playing over the years. Since you are leaving, you should not make any trades or cuts. We will leave that for your teams new

Hey all! Just a reminder that the arbitration deadline is tomorrow night. All owners but one have allocated their dollars. You can still make adjustments up to midnight tomorrow night (and I believe that is midnight ET).

Paul, Luke and JD, Don't forget to do your arbitration. You can always modify it up until the 14th, but it would be great if you did it now so that we know everyone is good.

Only 3 teams left for arbitration, but remember that you can change you allocations up until the lock date.

5 of 12 owners have completed arbitration (although they can still change their numbers). For the other 7, please get your numbers added as soon as you can so we make sure everyone is finished. You can always make adjustments, but we want to be sure everyone gets in on this. Message me if you have questions.

Much appreciated.

I only see the 42 of 42 and $411. I believe that is the correct one. It may take a while for everything to refresh as I believe Niv only did this earlier today.
-
I am confused. On the site I have two sets of numbers. On two tabs, including the "Rosters" tab, I have 42 of 42 and $411 of $400. And on the toppling Hudson Duffers tab I have 43 of 42 and $421 of 400. Which is right?

FYI -- Annual salary increases have been applied to everyone's teams ($2 to MLB players and $1 to MiLB players) and loan $ has reverted back to original team. Arbitration starts on Sunday.

For our newer owners here is a good article on arbitration strategy https://www.pitcherlist.com/ottoneu-arbitration/#:~:text=arbitration%20system.,than%20%243%20to%20each%20team
-
Arbitration dates confirmed by NIV. Start is 10/15. End is 11/14. This is the last task for the retiring owners.
-
It looks to me like Arbitration will begin on 10/15. Does anyone else see a different date? I see 10/15/22....so assume it will be the same this year.
-
Clarification re: drops from the OttoNeu rules page: Before the end of arbitration, players may not be cut. Between the end of arbitration and the keeper deadline, players may be cut or traded. After the keeper deadline and before the auction draft, teams may not cut or trade any players.
-
Next step is arbitration. Let me know if you need help. Player auctions are frozen but I think you can drop players (I just had to drop as I won the last auction.

Great final day of the season! Joe gets the last OPL eligible slot and Larry sets the all time scoring record!
-
potential pitching implosions during these games do put this progress at risk.
-
Joe and Stephan have both passed Luke, but it looks like Joe has a strong hold on 6th.
-
Larry has broken the single season scoring record, adding to his list of accomplishments this season!
-
It’s the final day of the season! Joe had a big day yesterday and now has a 48 pt lead over Luke for 6th. Luke and Stephan are going to battle for 7th. In addition, Larry is chasing the all time season record of 19602 by Stephen in 2021.
-
Joe and Stephan passed Luke today! Who will come out on top tomorrow with OPL eligibility on the line?

Big news in the race for 6th, and the final 2024 eligible OPL spot. Stephan had a 100pt day, and got back in the mix. Luke leads Stephan by 18/d, and Joe is 1/d behind Stephan. Joe is also closing in on Luke, but Stephan was the big mover. With 2d left, it will be exciting.

Our league does allocations:
The allocation system gives a $25 budget to each team in the league.
The team must allocate this budget towards players on other teams.
Each team must allocate at least one dollar to every other team, and no team can allocate more than $3 to any other team.
At the end of the allocation period, all players have their salary increased by the amount allocated towards them.
Allocations take place after the initial offseason salary increase.

Looking ahead, which type of arbitration model do we use in our league?

4d left. Luke continues to lead Joe for 6th, but Joe is getting closer having cut the lead to 29/d. Stephan trials Joe by 8/d. Paul clinched 9th over JD yesterday. So the battle for 6-7-8 is the only one left going into this weekend.

No playoffs. Most total points wins, which I believe is the most common Ottoneu league type.

Do we have play-offs in our league? I am still working out all the end of regular season options offered by Ottoneu.

6d left. Brandon has extended his lead over Bruce to 49/d (almost clinched). Luke has extended his lead over Joe to 49/d (almost clinched the last OPL spot) and has eliminated Stephan. Joe leads Stephan by 3/d. Paul leads JD by 41/d.

7d left. Brandon leads Bruce by 34/d. Luke leads Joe by 44/d and Stephan by 45/d (Joe and Stephan are very close). Paul leads JD by 44/d. It is unlikely there will be any change except for Joe vs Stephan, but Luke is now out of pitching which opens the door a bit. Larry is now on the hunt to set the single season scoring record set by Stephen in 2021 of 19602.

8d left (sorry that I missed updating yesterday). Brandon leads Bruce by 30/d. Luke leads Joe by 38/d and Stephan by 46/d. Paul leads JD by 39/d. All others spots are clinched, and these spots will be very hard to change as time is running out.

LARRY HAS CLINCHED!!!!
In a dominating performance, Larry has been the daily leader every day since 4/12. There was a moment on 8/5 where Bruce had an intraday lead over Larry, but Larry had passed him back by the end of the day. Congratulations to Larry!

It was a light day yesterday, which worked to the advantage of the leaders and against the chasers. With 10/d left, LARRY HAS CLINCHED (more to follow) and Tyler is eliminated. Brandon extended his lead over Bruce for 4th from 6/d to 10/d, Luke extended his lead over Joe from 13/d to 23/d and Stephan from 29/d to 31/d. Paul also extended his lead over JD from 29/d to 30/d.

Paul leads JD by 29/d (was 30/d). JD has clinced over Anna (was 44/d). Today is a light day, so will for the leaders and against the chasers.

With 2 weeks to go, you must be within 700 points to be behind 50/d or less. Tyler is 36/d behind Larry. Brandon is 12/d behind Bruce. Joe is 16/d behind Luke. Stephan is 30/d behind Luke, and 14/d behind Joe. JD is 29/d behind Paul. Anna is 39/d behind JD. It looks like everything is settled except for the battle for 6th. I will try to update these daily from here on out until margins exceed 50/d. Good luck!

with 21d left, 1050 points is required to be within 50/d. Larry is close to clinching (I am behind 40/d). Stephen trails me by 34/d. Brandon trials Bruce by 21/d. Luke trials Brandon by 48/d. Luke leads the battle for 6th up 9/d over Joe and 17/d over Stephen. Other than the battle for 6th, everything may be settled by the end of this week.

at the top (teams might move up or down 1). There are two exceptions: Bruce is out of pitching so he might drop farther than just Brandon, and the Luke/Joe/Stephen/Paul battle. Luke has been looking very good lately so the others need to start moving if they are to catch him.
