League Message Board
-
Just under a week left in arbitration, and then trades will be open!
I've reached out to the teams that haven't completed yet, hopefully we'll get everyone's allocations in.
-
The manager of Luke Voit informed me that he won't be returning, so I've marked the team as abandoned.
-
Welcome to our new manager!
-
Washington Sentinels has informed me that he's going to step away from the league. We wish him luck going forward.
I'll go ahead and mark the team abandoned later today so that it can get claimed, but if anyone has a friend that would like to take the team over, let me know in the next few hours so that I can get them the info before I mark the team abandoned.
-
Congrats to our champ, and thanks to everyone for another fun season! I also can't wait for 2025 to get underway, looking to make it a big comeback year haha.
If anyone is thinking of not returning, please let me know ASAP. Arbitration starts on the 15th, and I'd like to try to get any new managers in the league before then so that they can participate in the process.
Enjoy the playoffs, everyone!
-
Good job, Gallen Challenge!
-
Congrats Gallen!
-
I lucked out but thank you! Can we start draft tomorrow?
-
Congratulations to Gallen Challenge on the championship
-
Rosters have been imported! I had to do a few things manually, but I think everything matches up. Let me know if you see an issue and I'll fix it.
Otherwise, trades and auctions are open! Looking forward to a fun season.
-
Everyone still drafting has all the noms they need to fill their roster. I'll end the auction Monday morning (48 hours from now), upload rosters, and trades/regular season auctions will be open.
-
Making good progress! As more managers fill their roster and the list of active auctions shrinks, I'll start handing out some extra rounds of nominations when I can to get us done a little faster (just gave everybody and extra one right now). Feel free to ping me if the board looks empty.
-
Auction started, let the nominations begin!
-
9 AM Pacific, and I've got the sleep set from 9 PM PST to 6 AM PST.
So for our East coasters, we'll start at noon tomorrow, and it'll sleep from 12 AM EST to 9 AM EST.
Everyone will essentially need to check a minimum of once every 8 hours during wake times so you don't miss out on any players. I can always adjust the time settings if we need to speed it up, but I think we'll be fine finishing well before the Seoul series.
-
Sounds good. Is that 9 am Eastern or Pacific? Also, what are the dead hours for the draft?
-
That's 9 AM PST, btw
-
Everyone's joined, rosters are all uploaded, I'll push play at 9 AM tomorrow morning! Feel free to message me if you have any questions going in.
-
Thanks for checking, everyone. As an update, I just sent another message to the manager of Washington Sentinels. Have yet to hear anything back so far. We'll start on the morning of March 1st, around 9 AM, one way or another.
While preparing, remember that positional eligibility between Ottoneu and Couch Managers isn't perfectly 1-to-1, so refer to this site to make sure of a guy's positions for the upcoming season.
-
My roster looks good
-
Mine look good as well
-
Looking accurate for me. Thanks
-
mine looks good
-
My roster is correct
-
SpinningSeams roster is accurate on Couch Managers. Thank You
-
While we're still waiting on one manager to join, I went ahead and uploaded rosters into the draft room. It all looks aligned to me, but when you get a chance, please head to Couch Managers and make sure your roster looks accurate.
Thanks!
-
Glad the slow draft seems to work for everyone! It's definitely a different dynamic than a live auction, but as I've gotten older and life's gotten more complicated, I've come to appreciate slow drafts more haha.
Only two managers left to join, I'll send them another message today. I'm planning on pushing the play button the morning after we get everyone logged in, the sooner we finish the draft the sooner we can start trades again.
-
Im in.
-
I am in there and logged in. My team name is Rockout, and I can’t change it because I am the commissioner of another league that is using couch managers for a draft right now.
-
I also have no money so I’m fine with whenever
-
Hey, thanks again for setting this up. I really like having this as an option. Also, I’m good with whatever date you want to start.
-
I am logged in and as far as the start date I can roll with whatever you decide to do. Thanks again Commish.
-
Thanks for setting that up. I have so little money to spend on the auction it doesn't matter too much to me when we start :)
-
as soon as everyone joins, up to you guys.
Also, if you are a co-manager, the best way to navigate the slow auction is for both of you to share the same Couch Managers login. You can both be logged in to the site simultaneously.
-
I had to set up the slow auction for the other league I commish, so I went ahead and did ours too.

Once you join, please "edit team name" under auction settings on the bottom right and make it as close to your team name as possible.
We can wait til March 1st so we have as much news as possible, or we can get it underway as soon
-
Sounds good
-
works for me!
-
works for me!
-
We've started our slow auction on March 1st the last few seasons, and that's worked well. We were finished by March 10th last season, so we shouldn't have a problem finishing before the Seoul series this year. I'll get it set up on Couch Managers a few days before so people can start joining.
-
When’s draft?
-
Everybody is paid up for the season! Thanks, gentlemen.
Trades can be accepted up until the keeper deadline tonight, just keep in mind that you won't be able to cut any players that you acquire via trade anymore.
-
Welcome
-
Welcome aboard
-
Team name change is fully endorsed!
-
Oh, and I am paid up.
-
Hello folks! Thank you for having me. I look forward to building my second Ottoneu team. I have participated in another league (5x5) since inception in 2017. You can count on me staying engaged, being competitive and being responsive. Y'all don't mind if change the team name tho?
-
Welcome to our new manager!
-
Under a week left to make trades, make cuts, and pay fees for the upcoming season.
-
Anybody know of any points league start ups?
-
J-Ram is a marvel AND on my trade block!

"Reluctant commissioner," haha... is there any other type?
2 weeks from the keeper deadline!
Also, Just wanted to say that we're still planning on a slow auction through Couch Managers for our offseason draft, which we'll aim do to on/around March 1st. I know the league page says draft on March 31st, I just don't see an option for an offline draft in the league settings so I did the next best thing and pushed back the date.
