if someone can teach me that's ok....

Wanted to take the pulse of the group regarding getting a Slack or Discord set up for more real-time communication. I want to keep things lightweight and relaxed, so if that is too much I think this Message Board works great.
-
Yeah! Degrom and Story!
-
At least the team that is there is decent.
-
Hey all, according to the following post I was just reading, it looks like we actually CAN run two catchers to accrue points...wonder why the rules contradict this. https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/the-math-of-winning-ottoneu/ Look under the section: "1,944 GP"
-
haha no problem. I didn't even notice.

My game plan for the dropped manager - Wait for everyone to wrap up the auction tonight and then I will fill out their lineup so scoring can start tomorrow. I will then place the team on the abandoned team list to hopefully bring in a new manager. I have a few people I might be able to reach out to, but shouldn't hurt us from moving forwards and getting this all going!
-
Ok, phew! Resolved. Sorry Roselle Rockets! You should be all good now :)
-
Niv responded in a second. What a legend. I think he is resolving it now.
-
sure it happens all the time
-
Yup, we unfortunately lost a manager last night but I accidentally removed the wrong one :( I emailed support...hopefully they can help. If they reach out as well I will be able to add them back.
-
i tried to recover but failed. ottoneu help line?
-
Just accidentally removed the Roswell Rockets GM...trying to add back...does anyone remember their username?
-
Ok sounds good.

I think it is only one catcher: "In non-head-to-head leagues, a starting lineup consists of one slot at each infield position (catcher, first base, second base, third base, and shortstop), five outfielder slot, one additional middle infielder (second base or shortstop) slot, one additional hitter from any position (utility slot), five starting pitcher slots, and five relief pitcher slots." (I was confused and thought we were H2H for some reason last night...we are Roto)
-
did we ever figure out if we start 2 catchers?

Awesome! Thanks everyone for being accomodating. We will stick with 7pm EST again tonight and wrap it up as soon as we can. Scoring should start tomorrow if everyone fills up their line-ups tonight.
-
santa monica--thanks i think you are doing great!
-
i think if the draft finishes tonite lineups can be done immediately after the auction is closed and scoring can begin tomorrow
-
all good. This has been pretty smooth so considering how advanced it is. I actually added players to my wishlist this time, not sure why i didn't do that yesterday.

Yes perfect, be nice to run a day two of draft for us who left early. My little one was a bear last night. Dad first, fantasy addict second, haha
-
Yeah since I am filled up, I can just hit the "start" button and keep it on a second monitor. So you all name the time! I do think I will try to be a bit more organized in the future regarding timings of things (and gaining consensus before the fact). This is my first time running a league, but it's no excuse for the confusion. My apologies to all, but I did think the night went pretty well! Just trying to do my best now to accommodate everyone else who needs to finish the draft.
-
Ok sounds good. If anyone wishes for an earlier start that's great too.

We can stick with the same time as last night as a default (7pm EST). I expect it to only take 2 hours max since most people are filled up now. If we gain consensus around another earlier time that works, I'm happy to start the auction again at that point.
-
Also when does scoring start?

(cont) we can just resolve those adds immediately for players that don't have multiple interested buyers. Just a few options.
-
Hey all! I think the best option is to open up the auction again at some point today that works for the remaining managers who need to fill their lineup. It shouldn't take a long time at all to wrap up. One idea I had that we can do with the approval of the other managers here is doing a sort of "instant auction". Since I have the power to add players directly to rosters, if each remaining manager posts the remaining players they want and the prices they are willing to spend on them...
-
send a note to santa monica and see what he says--im open to whatever works for those who need to fill spots
-
18 of 40 spots
-
How does this work now? Fun last night but I still need fill spots in? You guys went late haha!
-
How do we claim a player? In the draft room when i try and nominate a claim it says there is no draft currently.

i'm cool with whatever
-
I have drafted 40 guys, so of course I'd love to see it go to free agents to fill rosters. I can still sign 2 free agents. But I think the fair thing to do is let those guys have the opportunity to draft again tonight if they want to.
-
i think it was going to be picking up on the wire--but i am unsure
-
Hey guys, for those that had to cut out early last night do we just pick up free agents or is the draft continue tonight?

Looking forwards to the auction in an hour! We will wait about 5-10 minutes for everyone to join and will get started.
-
You have 40 roster spots. But players on the 60 day DL, or Covid19 do not count against the 40 man limit. So for example say you have 40 guys on your team, your roster will say "40 of 40". Your roster is full. But if one of your guys gets Covid, and another goes on the 60 day DL, it will now say "40 of 42". Meaning that you now can sign 2 more guys. Once one of those guys gets healthy again, your limit will drop back to 41 etc. etc.
-
Don't worry at all! Ask as many questions as you want. I don't know all the answers so I learn as well from your questions :) It's not in the official rules but I believe matchups are per-week, but you can modify your lineup daily.
-
the lineup should be available for edit daily until the first pitch of the game
-
u can have injured that dont count against roster==but i dont know if they dont count during auction
-
the roster is 40 there are 5 sp slots and 5 rp slots, 1 C: 1 1b; 1 2b; 1 3b; 1 MI; 1 Util
-
Hey guys can't wait for Sunday. I have a few questions as this will be my first auction draft. What positions are we starting? Also i see that it's daily lineups. Does that mean we edit our lineup daily but matchups are weekly? I have so many questions but don't want to be that person.. :)

7 pm EDT on the 16th
-
What time on the 16th?
-
Hey all, just a heads up that I pushed the draft back by one hour to accommodate a league member. I think the plan will be to get as much as we can done night one and continue the night after if needed. Seems to be a pretty common approach around here. As always, open to any suggestions you all might have.

CONGRATUALTIONS!!!!!
