3) Remember that trades are open! The Simulpukers see themselves as contenders this year, so if you're thinking about cutting any older win-now pieces, feel free to check in with us first. We have some cheap young bats and financial flexibility :-)

Hello all! Hope your 2022 is off to a good start. A few things:
1) We still have one "abandoned" team. I made a post in the forums, and now that football is wrapping up, hopefully we'll get someone to join soon. However, if you have anyone who might be interested, let me know!
2) The keeper deadline is 1/31. At that point, any players on your roster will count towards your '22 cap. We'll start talking draft sometime after that, but with the ongoing lockout, pr

Happy new year everyone
-
Just wanted to let the league know I am willing to move every single player on my roster. Send me a message if you are interested in anyone

Hello all, hope everyone is enjoying the playoffs. Just a friendly reminder that arbitration is open until 11/14. It's my first time going through the process, but feel free to ask any questions you may have. Here's a link to the rules if you wanna glance at them (look under part "d.", we're using the "allocations" option):

Cheers!

Congrats to all the winners! It was a fun year. It was my first year in ottoneu as well and I learned a lot about the format. Hopefully everyone comes back for round 2
-
Congrats indeed to our top finishers! It has definitely been a fun first year, I know I learned a lot about the format and can't wait for next season to start. Looking forward to the arbitration process, keeper declarations, and offseason trade talks.
I've been reading through the rules, and I know a lot of the process is automated, but please feel free to shout at me if there are some commish duties that I need to handle.
Enjoy the crazy day of baseball today &

The important thing is we all had fun!
-
Congratulations to the Portland Mavericks and Dani Rojas in first and second. I thought I had a chance to sneak into second but just couldn't quite get there. I'm a first time ottoneu player so am looking forward to all everything we do for the off-season.
-
We have decided to play for 2022. Will be updating our block later. Feel free to message or send offers if you are interested in any of our guys.
-
I forget, are we using this site to chat or are we using the other site we talked about before the season started?
-
Thank you. I looked forever and couldn't find that, LOL

From the Trades section of the rulebook:
"Salary cap dollars can be traded between teams (i.e. team A can agree to count one half of a traded player's salary against their cap). However, these loans will not remain in place once the regular season ends."
-
What are loans?
-
Thanks for all the help in answering questions! I'm on the west coast and on spring break, so I'm sleeping through a lot of them haha.
-
Thank you

The penalty is half of the players value. You will lose access to that $ unless someone else claims that player on waivers, or if a new auction is initiated after they clear waivers. Note that if the current cost of the player is an odd number (say $5), the penalty will actually be more than half ($3 in this case).
-
When I went to drop someone, it states that I would receive cap space but also cap penalty. Does anyone know what the penalty does?
-
Always auction.
-
Also you can pick up free agents any time after the draft, you just need to start an auction for them
-
It’s technically a 2 catcher league, but you don’t have to have two catchers. You get 162 games total for your catchers, whether you play 1 or 2
-
Hey guys, I didn't realize this was a 2-catcher league and left the draft w/ only 1 catcher. When are we open to picking up free agents?
-
Thanks again!
-
And you’re welcome
-
No CI, just MI. Also keep in mind that you have to keep one dollar open for every open roster spot. So if you had 11 open spots and 40 dollars left you could only spend 30 max on one player
-
Thank you!, is there a corner infield spot as well?
-
There’s also a middle infield and utility position
-
OK, so if I am reading this correct, we just need to field one position each then bench and reserves, is that correct?
-
Click the rules button on the top right of the ottoneu page, it’s under rosters
-
Where can I find how many players we can have on a roster?
-
Here's a new one:

I’ve never used discord before. It says the link has expired? Is there a new one?

It'd be nice to get everyone in there pre-draft :-)
-
I’m down for Discord as well. I’ve never played here before so I don’t really have a helpful opinion on the arbitration system. I do know that people who have played Ottoneu usually do have strong opinions on it, though. Would also be interested in hearing some pros and cons. :)
-
I’m down for discord
-
Also, should we get a discord going for league chat? I can set one up if everyone is down to join.
-
Since I don't have the experience, would someone who supports keeping the vote-off system mind sharing a brief reasoning? Genuinely interested in hearing :-)
-
I lean towards leaving it as is.
-
ok either way
-
As others have noted, thanks for stepping in so close to go time. Having played in a handful of ottoneu leagues, I will add that I greatly prefer the allocation approach to arbitration, and support the proposed change. That said, also not a deal breaker either way.
-
Thanks for taking over. I would prefer to keep the system that is set up but changing it wouldn’t be a deal breaker or anything if that’s where the league goes
-
Ha! Welp, didn't know it was an open league, we're already back at 12. Hooray! See, I knew this would be easy.
-
Thanks for taking over as commissioner. I'm good with changing to the allocation system.
I also don't know anyone for the last spot but hopefully we can get someone from the forums.
-
I received your email. Unfortunately I don't have anyone for the open spot, I think posting to the forums is the best idea. Since this is an open league we should be able to find someone.
-
Hey guys. Just sent an email out to the league, let me know if you didn't get it.
-
Luke voits car is a brilliant name
-
sounds good to me
-
I like Big Canoe Banjos' idea. I'm on board.
-
Why don’t we do the 28th as scheduled. If it drags into the wee hours and we want to stop, we can discuss a finishing date then. But let’s do the bulk of it on the 28th.
-
28/29 would be best for me too, I also picked this league for the draft date
