Sadly Kevin has reached out to me and indicated he now doesn't wish to return. If anyone has a friend who'd like to join us to take Kevin's place please let me know, otherwise I will find a replacement manager.
-
Thanks Marty, I sent him the help email too as I’m not sure where his issue is stemming from. I’ve also emailed Niv to see if he can add Kevin back and we can work out getting his fees paid once he is in, but I also don’t know what is causing the error on Kevin’s side….
-
All, I just talked talked Kevin (Old York Braves). He keeps getting error messages ("Oh, Snap, there's a problem") when he tries to reclaim his team. I'm going to send him the Ottoneu help email. Hopefully they will be able to help him. He definitely wants to stay in the league. Marty
-
Hi all, we are still waiting on Kevin to reclaim his team, I've reached out to him again as I know he was struggling with it but not sure what's up. Will give him some more time.
-
I've just sent some info to him to claim the team... I forgot Ottoneu automatically stripped managers from unpaid teams so didn't pressure him enough to renew, lesson for next time I think
-
Thanks for the heads up/confirmation, Marty. Please let me or Matt know if you need any additional help.
-
On the slow draft schedule, if we could avoid Feb. 27 as the kick-off I'd appreciate it. Otherwise good
-
Hey Everyone, I know Kevin (Old York Braves) does want to renew but was having some tech difficulties. I will see if I can help him with that today. Marty
-
Slow draft works for me. From memory those settings matched what we've done the last two years and things have gone well.
-
If anyone has any comments, criticisms or concerns please reach out via this message board or reach out to me privately if you can't say it in front of your league mates.
I will organise a date for the draft start - does anyone have any days from Feb 18 to Feb 29th they will be unavailable for the auspicious first round of nominations?
-
My suggested structure is as follows:
- 12 nominations to start with ( 1 per team)
- 24 hour timers
- 8 hour reset (if a new high bid is met under 8 hours remaining it will reset to 8 hours)
- when an auction ends the nominating owner will be able to nominate again
I think this gives us a good balance of speed and structure to stick with, we will not increase nominations as the draft goes on, and once a manager is done for the draft they will no longer

Hi all, it is time to draft!
We will be running our draft this year on Couch Managers again. I hope this is ok with everyone as it is the best way to run a slow draft. Things finished up relatively smoothly last year so I don't see any need to rush things and would like to suggest a draft start next week.
For ease of organising I will post the draft start date/time in UTC so we can all adjust for our timezones.
A few things to decide... cont.

🚨🚨 The draft date you see when you log in is just a placeholder for now - I was changing the league description and a default date kicked in
-
Hi everyone, thanks to most of you for renewing your teams. Reminder that the deadline for renewal and cuts is midnight Eastern Time on the 31st.
Trades will continue until the auction starts... is everyone familiar with Couchmanagers?
-
I posted in the Discord, but I am open to trading Lindor before the drop deadline - he won't be dropped, but just putting it out there in case anyone is interested
-
Hi all, quickly approaching in the cut deadline now, only a little over a week to go.
It is however not too lade to trade with me, send me a message if you like any of my boys
-
Agreed - I think from memory it was pretty hard to get us all to match up on a time as well
-
I really like the slow draft via couch managers. Would love to do it that way.
-
Hi all, about 2 weeks til the cut deadline and we can look at our auction draft, is everyone on board with a slow draft again via couch managers?
-
Thanks everyone for doing Arb, lets see if we can get a hot stove goin'
-
Deadline for arb is very close now, please remember to jump in and make your allocations as soon as possible if you haven't already!
-
Hi all,
Just a reminder arb closes in a few days (14th November)
-
Arb is open everyone!
-
Hi all,
That’s a wrap. Congratulations to Stroking Yordongs for taking the championship this year!
Congratulations also to Joe Foy’s Disciples and Eastside Hanger Bangers for rounding out the podium places with great runs of their own.
Thanks to all for being part of the league and remember to please reach out to me if you aren’t joining us next season.
Arbitration is the next thing on our league agenda but for now we can all enjoy some real l
-
And finally, just a couple of quick notes before season end:
1. Don’t forget arbitration! Arb starts October 15 and you'll have until November 14 to make your allocations.
2. I hope to see everyone back next year, if you're not sure you'll return please let me know so we can organize your farewell hamper
3. Ottoneu has a new payment provider for league fees - read more about that here: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/how-to-pay-for-ottoneu-with-paydala/13220/11

First up, sadly Icaro has been forced to resign after a video surfaced on Tik Tok showing the commissioner putting on his socks and shoes in sock-shoe, sock-shoe order.
This means that I am now your primary commissioner, although Icaro will be staying on as an emergency contact if I'm lost trying to summit Everest.
-
Hi all, I can't believe another season is just about over. Thanks everyone new and old for keeping the league active this year; chatter has been quiet at times but everyone has still been here!
We have some news, so please take a couple minutes to go over my next couple of messages.
-
Too much going on in my life right now, got to let go some Ottoneu time, please abandon my roster, thanks and GL to all

I didn't mean to cut Muncy. The relevant authorities have been notified.

Yea, the way I typically describe it is that it doesn't suck.
-
We drive past Lake Lugano every year on our way to Italy, when we are headed for our vacation. Man, you really live in a beautiful part of the world.
-
Hi all! Glad to be a part! Spending next few days getting a hang of this roster and scoring format, but will definitely want to make a few deals before deadline. Make offers!
-
Welcome Michael!

Welcome!

Welcome!

Hey all, please welcome Michael who is taking over for Andrew as manager of Juiced Balls. He's in Switzerland, so that now makes it 6 countries in OWO (you've got a neighbor, Christian!)

Not everyone is on Discord, so I'm just coming here to let you guys know that if you saw some weird transactions go down the past couple of days, they were both accidental drops that were communicated immediately on our league Discord - the first by Even More Delicious Moments, which I offered to add back; and the second by me, and our co-commish Matt (aka Pythagorean Regrets) extended the same courtesy. Hope everyone is enjoying the dog days of summer, the ball is really flying now!
-
Must have been an issue on my end with a dropped connection or something. I expected the feedback to be “no waiver claim was made” and that’s what Niv came back with so it will just ride that way.
-
Hey everyone, Matt aka Pythagorean Regrets has let me know that he put in a claim for Matt Strahm, which for some reason did not go through. He is posting the issue to the Community Forums, where Niv (Ottoneu creator) should be able to give us a satisfactory response soon. Here is a link to Matt's post: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/waiver-claim-not-processed/13054?u=ichirosamba

Didn’t cut Realmuto, can you put him back on my roster

Happy Opening Day, everyone! Enjoy green numbers and check marks on your lineup page!

is better, but just don't go MIA. 2) Rosters should get legal within 48 hours - after any roster move that would get the roster over the player limit or salary cap, or under 22 active mlb players, managers should make corresponding moves to get their rosters legal within 2 days. 3) Everyone should have 22 active mlb players on their squads - 12 hitters and 10 pitchers - which includes 10-day and 15-day ILs. We also expect everyone to be reasonably pacing towards the minimum GP/IP. (2/2)
-
Hey everyone, we've got a couple new people here so just letting you know we held a vote last year and we have a "get legal within 48 hours" policy for our rosters. We're still technically in the offseason so it's no big deal, but we expect everyone to make a reasonable effort to stay within our cap and roster limits.
Here are some things we voted on: 1) We expect owners to be active (visit the site) at least once every two weeks. Of course, the more the merrier, setting your dai

Ok, looks like things are going smoothly. Thanks for your patience and cooperation everyone.
Happy bidding.
