I don't really remember the draft last year, but the rules say the voted off player does not appear in the free agent pool. So you might be the only one to bring him up for auction. I don't remember if the other owners can bring him to auction. Maybe someone else can remember and clarify.
They can be brought up any time. They do not need to be the first auctioned on.
-
Thanks for the welcome. While I participate in a variety of Ottoneu leagues, I have never auctioned with the "vote off" system. I get all of it except on the day of the auction: are the players we voted off the first to be auctioned? Do we perform any act with these players prior to the auction? Thanks for any clarification.

Good afternoon-just joined this league. This will be my 3rd Ottoneu league overall. Been playing for 6 seasons now. However, it is my first H2H league. Kind of curious how that goes for me. I'll cut my players once I get home from work today. Quick bio: Chicago Cub season ticket holder, lives in the city, teacher, reader, guitars, records, etc...all the middle age vices you may consider.

Reminder to teams: "before the keeper deadline(Jan 31), teams are free to make trades and cut players penalty-free"
If you make a cut after the keeper deadline you will pay the 1/2 salary penalty for the released player.
Your team needs to be under the 40 man and $400 salary limits in order to draft. Following the keeper deadline, a team salary must never exceed $360 + the number of players on the roster.
-
Possible conflict with draft time. Moved to noon CST.
-
We will have an early draft this year. Draft day is Saturday March 11. We will start drafting at 1:00 PM CST. Thanks.
-
At this time they all look good to me
-
So far those dates look ok for me as well.
-
Any of those dates for the draft are ok for me currently
-
There is a chance I may be out of town the weekend of March 17-19th so every other weekend besides that one works as of now. Thanks.

Option 1 or 2 is my preference

We should get a draft day set up. I know there are some owners that are in other leagues and we should select a date to help everyone out. I don't think we need more than an hour or two for the draft.
MLB opens on Mar 28. Which weekend works best for everyone?
1) Mar 10-12
2) Mar 17-19
3) Mar 24-26
Send me a message or reply to the league.
Thanks.

Welcome to PAPIFANTASY taking over Nothing But Good Vibes team.
-
Next phase of the off season.
I do need to find 3 owners for next year. Pearly Yates, Dementors & Nothing But Good Vibes are stepping down. If you know anyone who wants in. let me know & I will get them hooked up. If I don't hear anything by the end of the week I will Abandon their team and open them up to the Community.
I want to thank ALL owners for staying involved and wish the best to owners who are moving on.
-
I want to thank everyone for voting! It was great to see all owners had a voice in the process.
The player voted off will be listed in red type on your roster. You will get $5 discount on that player in this spring's draft.
-
Reminder for those that have not completed the arbitration; the deadline is Monday. Please complete this step.
Thank You.
-
Has anyone heard from Pearly Yates? I sent an email and it came back, blocked. Thanks for any info.
-
One week to go on the Arbitration process.
Let me know if you are having any issues completing the process.
Thanks.
-
Half of the teams have their arbitration votes in. Thank You.
-
Reminder to all owners; our next step is arbitration. Arbitration starts Saturday. Our league uses Vote Off Arbitration. The detailed process can be found by clicking Rules and looking under Offseason.
Short version: Owners vote a player off of each team. Player with the most votes on each team becomes a Restricted Free Agent to the team losing the player. You will get a $5 discount for that player in the next Spring Auction Draft. Restricted players cannot be traded. Thanks and Have Fun.
-
Thanks very much for the congrats and the fun season. I am looking forward to defending the title next season. Be well all.

Congratulations Bronx Boys!! Great season all-looking forward to arbitration.
-
Congrats to Bronx Boys. Hope to have everyone back next year.
-
Been a fun season. Is the final round a two week championship?

I apologize. I was away all weekend. Tovar is back. Thanks.
-
I cut Tovar in error just a minute ago. Can he be added back to my roster?
-
Thanks to everyone for another great year. Reminder the big event in the off season is the arbitration process. I will send out an email/league message when that time comes.
Good Luck to the remaining four teams in the playoffs.
C'mon Hilltoppers, bring home the gold for the Green division. :)
-
Yep, thanks. I made lots of offers for Trout but no takers. I am high on Rosario, but to be totally clear this is me getting rid of non-productive salary. I was never going to re-up him at that salary, so wanted at least something in return before I completely cut him.
-
Just want to make sure everyone is aware that Mike Trout has been traded and the trade will be finalized tonight. I understand Norm is loading his team with younger players and creating salary space to ready his team for contention next year.
This is a big time player, albeit injured the last two years, being traded for an average player. Thanks.
-
But I am selling for those who are interested.
-
Ugh just read my player update on Trout’s medical condition. Ain’t that lovely. Apologies to all the people I have offered deals to the past couple days!!!
-
Ironically, in my very competitive Yahoo league, I also won my week in H2H competition for just the second time this year. 9-2 versus the top team. So, I’m sitting at negative points as I write this. Best of “luck” to you this week Norm 😁
-
Throw out the record books when Norm Charlton and the Dementors meet!!!
-
You cut players that are on the 60 day IL. They do not count toward your limit of 40.
-
What is going on? I added Yepez and I can't get my roster to legal. Even after dropping multiple players... what gives?
-
Yes I did! Seems like several other guys I put a “solid” bid on, went to someone else. Looks like I’m 0-4 to start the season. Good thing I’m facing Pearly Yates next week. 🤣. I can say that, he’s my nephew!!!
-
damn you really wanted lewis lol
-
my understand is that the rosters are meant to simulate 40 man rosters on MLB teams: 60 day IL, suspension, and covid automatically opens a roster spot (why you see people with 41,42,43) but shorter IL stays have to be covered by the 40 person roster on your team
-
The IL on the lineup page is just to help you organize your lineup. Only people on the 60 day IL do not count toward the roster limit. If a player is put on the 60 day IL (or COVID or Suspended) you automatically gain an open roster spot.
