Happy Opening Day everyone!
-
Sure glad we drained the Swamp before the season started.
-
Yikes. That dude went bananas. Anyone have any relievers on the block? Interested at any price or quality.
-
Welcome to the league Niv is the best. Thanks for taking over the team and good luck this season!

No worries about the prize pot, just let me know before Opening Day. In regards to the name, he had quite the melt down with the owner of Ottoneu and chose to take his anger out on us.
-
Thanks, the team name is temporary -- I just really didn't enjoy having to look at that. I also plan to delete the former manager's messages from the message board. I will think about the prize pot -- I haven't looked very closely at the team and don't know whether it's any good yet haha.
-
Hello, Niv is the best. Thank you for joining and I am glad to welcome you into the league. Looking forward to having you and a great season. Additionally, the league has set up a $20 prize pot in PayPal. When I get home I can address further details about the prize pot if you are interested in participating.
Thank you,

Hi all, points junkie here who's really been wanting to try out 5x5 but doesn't have the time to draft from scratch in a new league. Sorry about what happened with this former manager. I'll get PF cuts done within a day or so and then put up a trade block. Looking forward to it.
-
After looking into things, I have posted his team on the abandoned teams list, meaning a manager can pick up his team. In addition I will re-add his dropped players to his team. As a commissioner I am sorry this happened to the league and hope we can avoid any other conflicts like this in the future.
Sincerely,
The Great Hambinos
-
Now on behalf of the rest of the league managers, I will do my best to find a league manager to pick up his team and the players he dropped. When I get back from work I can look further into what to do. Sorry for what the NIV team did, and I will make sure the issue is resolved.
The Great Hambinos
And good ridance to NIV before I boot your ass out of this league.
-
And before you right me a nasty email because thats what you seem to be good at, all I can say is I wish you would have come to me to help, rather than dropping your entire team and screwing every manager here in the ass. We all wanted competition and your protest has prevented us from doing so. We could have found a manager to pick up your team.
Sincerely,
the comish you should have asked for help

Team X/NIV/whatever the hell you wanna call yourself now. For you to state that we are not serious managers is a load of horse shit. Additionally, after reading your 5 page essay, I can tell you that what you experienced happened to everybody. As a matter of fact Cowboys bid $22 on the wrong Wander Franco. However, he contacted me and I handeled the situation and fixed the issue for him. Had you done the same we would not be in this position.
-
Who the fuxk is NIV? And why do we give a fuck? You Half a man. Why would you try and screw us in the league like this. POS lowlife.

Venmo an option?
-
The PayPal account for the prize money is jwisniewski@dspipeandsteel.com
I will keep my eye out and track who has sent and not sent and will let the league know once the entire prize pool is sent in. Just a reminder that the prize fee is $20 per team manager.
-
Fine sending to you as well, makes more sense if everyone sends before start of season
-
Agree with GR 2.0., the prize pool should be sent to the Commish before the season. Collecting money from people after the season, usually its No Bueno.

In Commish we trust.
Please collect ahead and make payouts post season.
-
If everyone is comfortable, I can accept all money for the prize pool and I will pay out the prize money after the season concludes. Or if peiople are not comfortable with me holding the prize money, we can award the winner with the reward after the season ends.
-
A chat would be cool. And I can help arrange the PayPal when I get home in an hour-ish.
-
Any interest in a chat group on discord or something?
-
PayPal info to all pleass
-
Cool, thanks!

There is no requirement on how many SP and RP you draft, however, Ottoneu only allows you to start 5 SP and 5 RP per day. Lineups are constructed daily. Each position has a max allowed of 162 games played except the OF which is 810 due to 5 OF. All P on your roster combined have a max inning limit of 1500 innings per season. On your team's page this information is down at the bottom.
-
A couple Quick Question! We start 9 pitchers, how many have to be RP? Do we start 5 OF or 3? Thanks!

I will have Venmo or PayPal information sent out to the league after the auction.
-
Just a reminder for everyone that the auction begins tonight at 7:30 pm EST. Happy drafting!
-
Ny Chucks,
It would be wise to save few bucks from auction for free agents.
If/when you cut a player you only get back half of what you originally paid for him at auction.
-
in for prize pool- what happens to players after draft to becomes free agent auction bidding? or you just pay and pick them up
-
The draft will still remain tomorrow 7:30pm EST. Given the short notice, it will be extremely difficult to work out a better auction date this close to the original auction date.
-
Probs hard to thread that needle where everyone can make a new time. Would later in the day tomorrow help? I'm not the commish. Just a thought.
-
I’d be in for the prize pool as well. As a side note, guessing chances of pushing draft date, even by just a day, would be slim? Any chance?

Off topic but, is there any kind of phone app that works well with ottoneu? New guy here.
-
I'm in for $20 too, pay out looks good to me!

I'm in for the $20 prize pool. The distribution looks good to me.
-
I would be more than willing to toss in an additional $20 into a prize pool. If all 12 teams decide to enter money into the prize pool, a 1st, 2nd, 3rd prize distribution would be most ideal. My thoughts are $160 for 1st, $60 for 2nd and $20 for 3rd, assuming all teams enter. Otherwise we will distrubute the money differently depending on how many teams enter the pool. If you are willing to enter the $20 team pool, please respond on the league message board prior to the league's auction on 3/24.
-
ok now 12 teams are in! Im willing to toss in $20 to prize kitty if anyone else is willing to make a fund for 1st 2nd 3rd. not all teams need to but whoever decides yes will be eligible for prizes only. anyone else interested please reply and let the commish know.
-
12 teams Strong!
-
That sounds like a positive idea. However, lets get the league filled to 12 members and then address this idea. Not trying to squash any ideas, lets just table it for a few days.
