I could use a short primer on the slow auction process. I've slow snake drafts, but not auctions.
-
30 minutes! See y'all soon
-
Awesome, everyone's in couch managers! Remember the three hours tonight are here at Ottoneu!
-
Reminder that we're less than 24 hours from the draft! Also please sign up for the slow draft. We'll be here (scroll up and you can see an "Auction Draft" link near the top of this page) fit three hours tomorrow but my hope is I'll get all the players loaded into Couch Managers that night so we can start the slow draft portion Monday!
-
Three other things: 1) everyone needs to join our Couch Managers slow auction (https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/?auction_id=73 password: keeporku - they only allow 8 characters so no T). Please try to make your team name there match your name here. We'll use this AFTER Sunday - Sunday evening we'll draft on Ottoneu. 2) if anyone can't make Sunday please let me know ASAP. 3) if you have any questions about Ottoneu or the league, ask now.
-
Just a reminder we're set for 3 hours of drafting Sunday at 7 pm ET. We'll have a slow auction after that to fill out the rest of rosters.
-
I don't think moving the date/time is going to be easy - it's pretty hard getting 12 people lined up, which is why we put the date/time in the call for entries. If anyone can't make it, let me know and we can try to find someone to proxy for you. Keep in mind, we are only doing 3 hours, after which we will shift to a slow auction to fill out rosters.
-
Oof, I didn’t realize the auction was during the Super Bowl. I’d rather move the date/time if that’s possible, but I can still make it regardless.

Couple questions:
I assume that people are aware that we’re scheduled to draft during the Super Bowl. I’m fine with it, just want to make sure that it’s known.
And this league is planning on running for multiple seasons, right? Would change auction strategies if people were only trying to win in 2022 and then moving on.
-
Thanks for the explanation, guys!

The minimum is a good call out. I'd make sure to notice what stats count and which don't (RBI, SB, Saves, etc). I'll let others weigh in with more thoughts
-
First time 4x4 player here, and it looks like I'm not alone.
Seasoned players: is there anything you'd like new players to know to keep the league competitive and fun?
I'll note for the record that I'm aware of and glad to see the 1,250 IP minimum in the rules for 4x4.

League 1's 2021 final standings are here as an example:
https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/1/standings?date=2021-10-03
Roto category rank scoring is in effect: there are 12 teams, so the team that leads the league in HR would get 12 points in the HR category, the second best HR hitting team would get 11, and so on.
A team that swept the categories would get 12 points x 8 categories = 96 points.
-
Roto leagues are scored based on rankings in each stat. So whoever has the most HR will get 12 points for HR. Whoever has second most will get 11 for HR, etc down to whoever has the fewest HR and gets 1 point for HR. Same ya true for each stat (R HR OBP SLG ERA WHIP K HR/9).
-
Hi! Looking forward to playing in this league. I'm not finding much in the rules or forums about how the scoring works. Like, I know the categories, but how do we actually score points? I've only played FGPts and the roto format is new to me. Thanks!
