This is the topper - I am in that league, I offered to take Betts off his hands. It's a $20 league - All this freaking drama over $20. Seriously - cant wait for the start of the season

I was up when all this happened and was like “ok why are these great players being cut.” But we should be able to find a owner especially since I don’t think the owner has to pay.

Do I have this straight? - Guy was not paying attention, makes a crap pick, completes the draft, makes trades, than decides he doesn't like his team, whines like a little bitch, and takes his ball and goes home.

Because it's already paid for, it should actually be a free team for the year, i think that's how it works anyway.
-
Pausing the trade is probably most fair, though it appears to have been made before the angry owner left and would have helped him by freeing up cap space. Still, probably most fair to let any adopting owner decide whether they want that trade. I hope we can find someone in time. If we can't should we just let someone adopt at lower than $75?

Niv is the creator and sole person who runs ottoneu. He's awesome and has built in tools to solve the problems (type in $51, rather than hit +1, restart draft, etc). I don't see how it's his responsibility to make sure the commissioner and player use those the way angry thinks they should!
Otherwise, agreed on pausing, also willing to pause the trade i had in place for Diaz, pending approval of the new owner.
-
Commish - at minimum I think we should freeze auctions and the waiver, reverse the cuts, and see if someone else will adopt the abandoned team.

Finding another owner doesn’t force Niv to address the issue he has on this site. Fuck him.
-
He could have reset the draft that had literally just started. Instead, he chose to wash his hands of it, or so he thought.
-
Ultimately I don't think your team is ruined by any means. I'd appreciate it if you didn't violate our TOS with your team name and considered continuing to play in this league. Either way we cannot offer you a refund because you bid more than you wanted to on a player. If we did that for everyone, we would not be operational.
-
I’m sorry about your poor experience. Instead of dropping your players what if we just found a new owner? I understand wanting to be out of everything because of the incident.

Hi Kirk,
The Ottoneu draft room has bid protection - if you bid within half a second of a bid changing, the site will not accept your bid. Hopefully you aren't planning to quit your league due to buyer's remorse.

Just to clarify, Mookie was bid up to $87 right before I hit the +$1 button to bid what I thought was about $50, not $88, which was the intent of this person’s action, to catch someone by surprise and stick them with an overpriced player
-
I am abandoning this team, named “X”, at the beginning of the auction draft because it is not what I signed up for. The first player nominated, Mookie Betts, was bid up by a person in bad faith to $87 in an obvious attempt to catch someone by surprise at the beginning of the auction and stick them with a player above value. That unsuspecting person was me, and no one else seemed to care that this is not fair sportsmanship. I signed up to play in a serious league with serious players, not with cl
-
I came to Ottoneu looking for something different from Yahoo where no one seems to care to do anything about members who play unethically. Last night I found out through an incident in another league that Niv Shah doesn’t seem to care about ethical game play either. So out of principle, I won’t be participating in this league or any other on this site, and I’m dumping my team. If any of you have issue with it, please take it up with Niv. My email with him:

I also wish I had read the instructions before the draft. Who would have thought that was so important? 😁

I wish I understood the salary cap rules more clearly during the draft - Rookie mistake, but wont let it stop me...game on fellas game on!!!

i suggest updating your trade block. makes it easier to see who's available in considering trades

Looking to add pitchers and cap space in exchange for any of these guys, and I like multi-player deals.
Batters:
Story
Ozuna
Freeman
Abreu
-
I spent all my cash on the auction not realizing that it was intended for the whole season, so I will be forced to drop someone of significant value within the month in order to free up cap space. But before I do that, if anyone would like to trade for any of my players, please send offers. Any of the following guys are available, and I am easy to work with on trades, especially right now.
Pitchers:
Cole
Kershaw
Bauer
Darvish
Edwin Diaz
Bat

I nominated Moose, so its back to the commish to start tonight

We should be back to the top of the list (me) for nominations when we resume tonight.

Does anyone remember who nominated Moustakas? It would be nice to pick up the nomination order where we left off so we all get the same amount of nominations.

I also think we should draft all the way through. That only seems fair to different draft strategies.

Let's draft all the way through.

Yeah just throwing out if we wanted to draft, for example 3.5 hours each night, then if not finished, do waiver auctions for whatever is remaining. Preferably we'd draft all the way through.
-
No roster guidelines, just need to field a full MLB lineup, and no minimum innings pitched, the only limit is 10 GS per matchup. Check the rules at the bottom of the page for more specifics (think there's a link to an FAQ there too)
-
Where are the roster guidelines listed? ie. What are the min and max at each position? And what is the minimum innings pitched?
-
What do you mean by set amount of draft time? Like total amount of time for each day, despite each manager's roster at the end?
-
We'll definitely continue the draft tomorrow. I agree, I like having the break to re-group and strategize.
-
I think it's best to do it in 2 days. Just because the second day teams can prepare for who teams want and how much. Just gives extra time to strategize.

i'd prefer to do the full auction draft

This is my first time as commish so if that's an option, I'm up for that. Also, if we want to come up with a set amount of time to draft, we can then do waiver auctions for the remaining players.
-
should we vote on nomination timer? maybe start at 30 seconds and then move to 15 or 20 once we all get used to it?

I'd say a draft normally lasts 6-7 hours total. If people are good at nominating players quickly, it should be closer to the six hour mark. It starts slower at the beginning, but picks up once the cheaper players are more likely to be nominated.
