I guess it is in here.

I’ll be ready for Thursday. Is it on couch managers?
-
Thanks for checking. Yes, confirming to all that the draft is Thursday at 8PM ET.
-
Is the draft Thursday?
-
Couch Managers has been having issues the past few days going down. Not sure if it should be an option at this stage
-
I just did a couch managers draft, didn't care for it. Limits the amount you can bid when multiple auctions are going at once.
-
I can vouch for the slow draft on Couch Managers as well!
-
I‘m doing the draft in another Ottoneu league as a slow draft on Couch Managers right now. Works fine.

Split the draft up across multiple days, to be clear

I'm fine with that Thursday or even that Wednesday but would it help people if we split the draft up? I don't know what everyone's conflicts are but maybe that's a solution?

No worries guys. We’ll figure it out.
-
I don't see any other options for the draft. I'm really at a loss. 3 owners never posted their availability in the poll. The most names we had were on a date Ottoneu doesn't allow. The next two were this Saturday and next Thursday. Only 6 people said they were available then. Moving the date to another day means just as many or more people will have conflicts. If someone else wants to drive things, I'm happy to turn over the commish keys, but what can I do?
-
Sunday the 16th isn't available, that's the most sought after date. Server can't handle everyone at the same time.
-
C'mon baseball owners, I did two drafts at the same time many times. You reduce screen and have two drafts on you screen (I even did four last year, but that was crazy). A little effort here or we will never find a date that fits us all
-
I didn’t vote for Thursday March 13th as we have another draft happening on that night at that exact time. Are we looking at the same Doodle? I’m seeing Sunday 3/16 had the most Yes votes. Please let me know if I’m misinterpreting it
-
Hi, everyone. I've updated the draft date to 8pm ET on Thursday, March 13. Unfortunately, we were locked out of the following Sunday which is the day that the most people were available. I hope that everyone can make it! (The 7pm time was just a placeholder--no worries. What you voted on is what we're doing)
-
Hey guys, I thought we were voting for 8pm start times in the Doodle… We may not be able to make it as early as 7pm. Is that set in stone?
-
So have we settled on a draft day?

It does indeed seem like we need a new owner. Shadow, if you're still in contact, would you let Mercy Rule know that I can hold off posting the team until Wed night. For everyone else, please fill out our poll regarding your draft availability. Still haven't heard from 3 folks.

Looks like we need a new manager.

Hi, friends. The Cubs & Dodgers open the season in Japan on March 18th for two games. The traditional opening season is 8 days later on March 27.
Please vote at the poll link below for your availability. I added each of the first 16 days of March and will schedule the draft for the date that best suits everyone.
Get excited. The Cubs have pitchers and catchers reporting one week from today!

I texted him this message. Thank you so much. Hopefully he can get it fixed.
-
Shadow, would you please let Will know this via Niv:
Every user has a 10 day grace period to renew any team they have and was due on January 31.
If a team is not renewed by February 10th, it will show up on the Claim Teams page as Expired
If someone is having trouble paying for their team, they should email help@ottoneu.com immediately
They should also review this thread for common issues (remainder in community threads)
-
I didn't mark it as abandoned so he can't do that yet. I don't see any commish tool that allows it. Let me send in a note & see if there's some kind of hidden trick.
-
He should be about to buy it on the expired teams list
-
Will Stockton with Mercy Rule is locked out of his team. He tried to pay but it wasn’t accepting his payment then it locked him out. Can someone look into this for him.
-
That's more like it!
-
Less than 3 weeks left in the trade season--awfully quiet around here.
-
Thanks so much all the help
-
Welcome, Jon! Glad we got you up and running. Hope you'll leave a few decent prospects for the rest of us to pick over.

Should be all set. Let me know if there’s an issue

Ok, Jon has claimed the Spiders and is working on getting his arbitration funds allocated.

Yes, I see it also. Not sure why I didn't before.

I see it on there

Neither Cleveland Spiders nor our league name exists on that page, I just checked. Any idea why?

Just tell them to go to this link: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/claimteams, find Cleveland Spider, and click "Claim."
-
Oh, OK Steelhammer, just saw your message. Will get on it.

Just two to go for arbitration--any chance we can get a new manager in place to arb before the deadline?
-
Great news! I love an owner vouched for by another! Have them join Ottoneu & you can private message me their username. I can add them from that.
-
I've located someone interested in taking over the unowned team. I've played against him in different leagues for about 12 years. Who is acting as our commish? How does he proceed in becoming a league member?

A shame to see another original owner go, Papi, but I sure do respect your being smart about your time and energy. Be well & enjoy the postseason.
-
Hi Commish and owners, congrats to the winners, wanted to say it's been a pleasure playing with all of you this season. Got way too many leagues and cannot maintain the rythm (time consuming and $$$). So I won't be renewing many of my leagues like this one, got some talent to attract new owner for next year so you should be able to quickly fill vacancy. have a good arb and a great future season! Thanks Commish for great work
-
Thanks Chimps!

I've posted the opening & will let you all know when potential owners reach out.
-
Cheers!
-
Sure, I can do that much for my hobby. Thanks for explaining & hope we cross paths in the future.
-
Not all that much, honestly: sending out reminders for arbitration; setting the draft date; starting and ending the draft; ensuring that the league has 12 owners if an abandoned team is not claimed for some reason. Everything else takes care of itself. Let me know if I can make the change, thanks.
