Hey Nelson! My intention was to send an email yesterday, but the day got away from me. I'll send one today. On CM, robgal23 is Navy Street. I'm not sure who LerobJames is. Hoping to get this all set by Friday at the latest so we can get started.

Who still needs to join the CM draft? I see a couple with different names than their team names on here, but the ones unaccounted for are Fishheads, JZ, American History xFIP, Championship Beltre, and Navy Street. Let's get this thing going!

For those who did not use their team names on Couch Managers, please go to CM and edit so your team name for the league is the same in the draft room. This will make it easier to follow.
Nine players have signed up, so we're close.
Thanks!

Some of you familiar with Otto may know Chad Young (he does a lot of writing regarding Otto on Fangraphs, Otto Slack and Pitchers List), but if you're not, he is one of the most knowledgeable Otto players (I believe he was in league 1 along with Otto founder, Niv. He's in a league doing a slow draft on Couch Managers, which you can follow along. You can get a feel for Otto slow auctions and Couch Managers. You can follow along here:https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/index.php?auction_id=70

To get an idea of auction prices for players on Otto (5x5), go to this link: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/averageValues?gameType=2
So far we have six signed up for the draft on Couch Managers. There are still a few who need to sign up for Slack. Scroll down to find out what needs to be done to get started.
Even though we're still in a lockout, there's a chance the draft will start next week; possibly Friday. Looking forward to getting started.
Let me know

I made a couchmanagers account to enter the draft! I think its mandatory for you to make an account.

I had an account already and don’t recall if I had to create one when I joined a few years ago. Fortunville Magnets and Fungoes and Bunts joined after I sent the link so they may have the answer.

The draft room is set (I think...lol). Follow the link below. Password is otto2022 (case sensitive). Please join the draft room to become familiar with it. Like I said before, it looks a little outdated, but works well. Plus this is the only draft site used by Otto Neu leagues. Let me know if you have any problems. Thanks

The auction will actually be a slow draft. Each owner will need to make two nominations at one time to start. Once an owner starts an auction, the auction is set for 12 hours; however, once it gets to under 8 hours, then the auction goes for 8 and not 12. I'm in a league that uses Couch Managers and it works well. To keep the auction moving, it's important for owners to keep nominations going. Once a player has been won, the person putting the player up, nominates another. Clear as mud; right?

While we are waiting for a new owner, how exactly does a slow auction work? I presume we aren't doing a slow draft, because we need auction values to assign salaries, right?

Hey Guys...We lost an owner, so once we get back to 12, I'll get the slow draft up and running. Even though the lockout continues, the plan is to get the draft set up and ready to go. More to follow.

Hey I have another Ottoneu league (already established) that had a bunch (5) of owners drop out. Would anybody be interested in a $20 league? Last year's championship team is available for instance so not just crappy teams. We just don't want the league to fold lol.

Thanks for the responses regarding the draft. The plan is to have a slow draft, which I hope to set up within the next couple of days. I'll follow up after with the start date. Thanks!

I appreciate the responses regarding the draft. As of now, it's looking like it will be a slow draft, but would like to hear from a few others. If we do a slow draft, the next topic up for discussion will be when it should start. Thanks!

Really like the sound of a slow auction as well!

Slow auction sounds fine. If you need any help just let me know.

I would prefer March 5. I have a week long business trip before the proposed Feb 27 date. Probably coming home late on the 26th.
-
I’d prefer a slow draft because I work about 50 hours per week, and sundays can be very full with family stuff and kid stuff. But I’ll make whatever work
-
I am down to do a slow auction. Never gotten to do one before! Especially if it means we get to start a bit earlier and work on it over a few weeks.
-
...The slow draft should take 2-3 weeks (I'm guessing). I'm looking for a co-commish who can assist with the league and if necessary with the draft (if we do a slow draft) and importing the rosters. Send me a PM if you would like to take on that role. Thanks!

...strongly suggested first year leagues with some new players use CMs. I trust his opinions and suggestions. He also suggested each owner be allowed two nominations, 12 hour auctions with 8 hour extensions. Those can be adjusted as we move along in the draft. This is merely a suggestion, so please let me know what you think. This may also help because of our different time zones and obligations not related to fantasy baseball. If we choose this option, we can get started anytime we all agree.

Hey Guys. My apologies for the numerous messages, especially regarding the draft. Although I suggested a live draft, the more I think about, I would like to get your thoughts on doing a slow draft. Otto has a partnership with Couch Managers. Once the draft is over, I simply import the rosters. I'm in a league that uses CMs and it's not a bad option. The interface looks dated, but that's not a big deal. The commish of that league is a veteran Otto player and he...

Anywhere along the lines of 1pm - 11pm pst is good for me. I can wake up a bit early to meet with the draft! I would preferably like drafting on saturday since that would mean I would draft in the sunday morning, but sunday would be fine also.

I work Sundays so the earliest I can draft those days is probably 2:00.

Feb. 27 I am free until 5pm pacific time. March 5 I can make open all day.

Hey everyone. With this being a new league, the draft will take longer than it will in future years. To avoid a long draft day, we may need to have two sessions. Based on some comments below, I think the earliest to have the draft would be February 27th and if necessary, the following weekend. Or we can wait and have the draft start March 5th. Either way, we can complete the draft March 5th or March 6th. Because of different time zones, I would like to start at 12pm (PST). Thoughts?

Thanks for the information regarding your usernames on Slack. I was able to invite a few, but was not able to add a couple others. You'll need to go to this link as ask to join the Otto Slack channel. Once that's been done, I should be able to add you to our private channel. Let me know if you have any issues. Thanks!

@Hey Nelson - I understand having the our league chat on Discord, but because Otto Neu's community is on Slack, I would prefer to have it there.
As for the draft, I would like to have a live draft rather than a slow one. The option for a slow draft is the site couchmanagers, but having been in a league that used that option, the live draft in my opinion is much better.

Tech semi-illiterate here. I don't have slack for any other purpose. how do I join the ottoneu community on slack? the link you posted doesn't seem to work for me. appears to be a dead link? I created a free account on slack.com, but not sure how to connect. Appreciate any help. Thanks.

Or discord? I'm already on there and it would be more convenient, but obviously I'm good with whatever the majority prefers. Also, will this be a slow draft? Excited to get things rolling soon!
