Big welcome to my 1344 league mate (and fellow Liverpool fan?) Matt, aka Merseyside Reds. Nice to have you with us!
-
I tried a new community forum post: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/20-h2h-fgpts-2-matchups-week-seeking-replacement-owners/11220 , and also announced it in a few legues I'm in. Also gonna try some facebook groups. If we don't get them filled by the end of the month we might be in trouble.
-
Hopefully we'll get a few takers. They'll still be able to make penalty free cuts even after the deadline passes in a few days. I'll keep mentioning these openings in all the other leagues I participate in, and I ask that you guys please do the same if you don't mind. Thanks!

You mean if we consolidated two leagues looking for managers? It would have to be a perfect match, ie, if they're looking for 8 managers.
I don't know, maybe once the lockout ends and as opening day approaches we'll get more interest. Anyone have any idea what happens if we don't fill? (I think we get a refund, but nor sure)
-
Thanks for that post on Slack. I have posted on the Managers Wanted a couple of times; perhaps we can find commish/managers that are willing to join, if we join their league. I could do that...

Ok, done

Please go ahead and post them there as well. They have been available on the "claim a team" screen for quite a while, and have been offered up on the "Managers Wanted" section of the ottoneu forums.

Commish, what do you think of posting the two abandoned teams on the Ottoneu Slack? If you want me to, I can do it.
I also realized we have two teams who still haven't renewed, they still have two days, but we could be looking at 4 abandoned teams in a few days :/
-
I was asked what happens if you don't extend your dynasty by the 31st deadline. Here's what was posted in another league i'm in.
"If you don't pay by the deadline, Ottoneu will lock you out for 10 days, and ask you to pay. After 10 days, your team will go on the abandoned teams list."
Details here: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/renewal-dates/830

Just a reminder guys, the keeper deadline has been extended, but the renewal deadline has not been extended. You must renew by Jan31st or your team gets listed as an expired team and anyone will have the option of claiming your team. To renew, just go to your dashboard and on the far right, you'll see "extend your dynasty". Click on that and pay. Thanks!!!

Welcome, me encanta. Love the new name, Duck Snorts.

Welcome, me encanta! Also, Money Ballers is now the Duck Snorts

Nice to see some action here again. I'm sick of this damn lockout. I hope they get it together soon and settle this thing.

Nevermind. I figured that out. Welcome the Lake Wobegon Whippets to the league.
-
Ouch I just missed claiming the Ghost's by minutes. I will take the Cubs instead. Not a bad team either. Is there anyway to change the team name? I'm not really a Cubs fan.
-
What’s up guys! I just claimed the Ghosts of Rube Waddell! I’m excited to be here. Very active ottoneu member looking to make a splash.

Welcome Icaro!

Hey everyone, my name is Icaro and I just took over Money Ballers. Thanks for having me, I'm glad to be on board. This league actually has the perfect settings in my opinion: H2H, 2 weekly matchups, 2-week playoffs, arbitration... I don't think there are many out there that combine all of these things, so maybe these could be selling points. Any way, can't wait to get more people in here so we can start cooking up some trades!

Have the potential new commissioner email help@ottoneu.com with their team name and user name and I’ll manually make them commissioner.

I think if no one objects, we can have Niv overthrow the missing commish and put you in charge. I think we need to immediately start recruiting new owners. Looks like Lindor, Ohio2, and Animales are in. Have we heard from anyone else?

Seems safe to safe to say the existing commish is not coming back. Anybody want to take over as the commissioner and try to salvage the league? Or are we done here?

Has anyone heard from the commish at all? I've reached out a couple of times and not received a reply.

I say we renew at $25 and whoever does arbitration stays and the rest of the teams are offered to expansion managers on a first-come, first-served basis. All teams have some gems and I think some expansion managers might enjoy the challenge of an existing team. We can go to $50 next year if it works out…
Thoughts?
-
Hey I am in for next season. I know I missed half of this one and that's my fault for taking on too much work for me to handle. I would definitely like to do arbitration and be a part of next season
-
IN. Let's contact the commish and ask him to make someone else the commish and recruit new managers asap. First step is to salvage the league.

Im with you @Lindor Truffles... maybe we can rescue half the managers and start a new league. We are halfway there. I know Otto Two is in, and animales and cubs and I guess Ghost, (?) Maybe do the arbitration process so we know we can count on you

In any case, I enjoyed this season, I'm interested in doing it again with this group and I'm happy to be a part of whatever. I'm going to start rambling, so I'll go back to work and do something productive instead.
-
I guess I'm fine with either approach. This was my first year doing Ottoneu and I learned a ton, so starting over with new people isn't an unattractive idea, but I also feel like part of the fun is taking your team along for multiple years. Anyway, I'm in either way. One thing I learned this year is that maybe one of the things to do is up the league to the $50 level to require some more skin in the game.
-
From what I get, the question is: are we going to continue this league by finding X new managers or are we going to quit this league?” Obviously I would like to continue this league as I have the best team (sure...); but IDK. Shit happens, and it is quite obvious we lost several managers. Probably because UX sucks, I can see a lot of managers discouraged. Maybe it takes a couple of draft to get 10-12 engaged managers.

If you find replacement managers, they can do the arbitration. Doing any of the arb manually for a league missing 8 managers is a fool’s errand. So the question isn’t “how to do arb while down X managers?”, it’s “are we going to continue this league by finding X new managers or are we going to quit this league?”
Marte is Cole on

The first thing to do is to decide if you want to continue in the league. That means choosing between adding replacement managers or just shutting the league down and starting over. If you are going to find replacement managers, start immediately by posting in the Managers Wanted 1 forum and reaching out to people on the Available Owners list. @walt526 is right though, it will be a big lift to add 8 people to a league, and probably easier to start from scratch.

It would be kind of annoying to do it for 8 guys and there’s a chance for data entry error, so you have to have someone check your work. But that might be a possibility if you decide to continue but don’t fill out the league before November 15th.

But to answer your question, although it’s kind of a major pain in the butt, you can do arbitration “manually” after arbitration ends. That is, you assign allocations via a Google sheet (which you thoroughly check to make sure it conforms with the rules) and have the commissioner enter them in as manual salary adjustments. I’ve only ever done that for one person, though.

So I posted a question about what to do in arbitration if 8 managers are MIA. I got a couple of responses. Check it out: I would consider starting a new league as it’s going to be a lot easier to find 8 guys interested in joining a first year league than it is 8 guys inheriting what are probably some of the worst teams in the league.

Same here. I made a draft not focused on 2021 because I didn’t understand the game. Got really busy and decided to leave the team intact to come back and evaluate that first auction. Some wins, a lot of losses, but I like my chances next year and I will have time to play :-)
PS - Let’s see if we can go from zero to hero in 2022…

I'm planning on it. I will be back,
