Hey Field of Dreams, unfortunately not. That's why you usually want to renew ASAP and if the league doesn't make, then Ottoneu refunds you.

Hey guys, so my friend who was the owner of the 4256 squad, he was all ready to go for this season with his team if we got the league up and running. He had made his cuts on time and was part of the arbitration process this offseason. He was going to renew if we got the league going. I see someone took over his team but he was wanting the team back. Any possibility he is able to regain the team back?
-
Hey guys, new owner here. I would like to request not having the draft on Wednesday or Thursday. I am open to any other day.

Yes, that is acceptable
-
I am good with that. Newcomers may DM myself or Avalanche once this season with a list of penalty-free cuts. Since returnees will have had three weeks by draft time to make their second round of cuts, new comers will have three weeks to do so following draft. Seem fair?

I agree that if we get another round of cuts then everyone else should too since we'd get the benefit of knowing who everyone has cut. Thursday works for me

Ok I just signed up for league earlier today
I've played Otto before and love it
Would season start day after we draft?

yes, the 28th, before the season started? I don’t think enough people have weighed in to make that determination, only saying Thursday is not good.
Something needs to happen in terms of compensation, then. Give the new managers a second round of cuts at their discretion; otherwise my initial suggestion of a nomination/bid restriction. Don’t really want to play in a league where 2 different sets of rules apply just because 7 people vacated. Why don’t we just redraft the entire thing th

You did your cuts on March 28. If that's the hang up for you, I am not sure what to tell you. No solution will be perfect for everyone, but this works best for for most and the long term effect it will have on the league. Also, if you're the only one Thursday doesn't work for, then again, not sure what to tell you. Need to get this league off the ground and going for the season. I did one auction on my phone while my gf was driving a few weeks ago.

So the 5 active teams get 2 rounds of penalty-free cuts? I did my cuts before the start of the season. I’m only ok with it if cut players can’t be bid on/auctioned for 30 days from draft by managers they were cut by. Would prefer a different day than Thursday.

Draft set for Thursday at 8pm ET

I agree Avalanche. For the long term health of this league (which I think we all want) cuts across the board seems the best route long term. This is fairly unusual to begin with.

Thursday works for me as well. As far roster cuts, the new mgrs have the advantage of seeing the first 3 weeks of the season. Resetting cuts seems fair to all.

I was also going to ask about being able to cut more players since we're not on a normal timeline with the season already started. But I understand the argument against it
-
And of the 12 teams, only five teams participated in arbitration and then took their penalty-free cuts. Resetting the economy is the best way to go since we have 7 new owners, all taking over heavily mismanaged, first-time teams.

But it is also worth remembering that everyone gets penalty free cuts after arbitration.

Well we will have to have the auction draft so that would be tough. Let me go through and look at it all and see if we can add some type of penalty

May I suggest some sort of mitigation then? Have non-new teams unable to nominate/bid on players they cut for 30 days just like in the regular season.

That being said, I’m open to everyone’s opinions on the matter, and something Avalanche I hope can weigh in on too

Nearly 50% if not more of this league is new. The others missed cuts completely and/or arbitration. Generally speaking, in my other other leagues we might have one new team a season. MAYBE two. But 6-8? That’s pretty unheard of. Getting everyone back on the same track and resetting the economy of this league will make it more competitive this season and moving forward. That should be the goal of a dynasty league like this, so we hopefully don’t go through the same process again next season.

extending roster cuts to every team does not sit well. One of the incentives is supposed to be to allow mismanaged teams (I.e., one of the reasons they were maybe abandoned) a chance to compete). I also made my cuts before the mlb season started and budgeted with the idea that some players would not be made available to bid on. Now they might?
-
Sure thing! Either send myself or Avalanche a list of those you want cut penalty free and we will get it done.
How does Thur night work for everyone?

Wednesday and Sunday night are out for me. Can I suggest everyone gets free cuts before draft not just those joining late?

Also looks like we are all ready to go as all teams are filled. We are ready to draft. What days DO NOT work this week for everyone?

Hey everyone! Old commish here. I apologize for all the confusion but great job getting this back up! I am the beat writer for SI covering the Texas Rangers and it has been insane to start the season. That being said, I would love to stay in the league, draft, and play with y'all this season!

I’ve posted on Reddit a few times… as far as I know that netted us Avalanche’s new manager and possibly another. Will keep posting there daily.

Thanks for joining. I made the same mistake Thursday. The system requires all cuts to made at once. Need to get your Cuts lined up, to where it says your roster is valid. Email me those players and I can do the cuts for you.
Y'all good with a draft next Sunday? (pretty confident we can fill the two other spots)

Hey guys I just joined and I was wondering if y’all knew how to cut players? The website says I can’t operate until I’m under cap but it won’t let me cut players for some reason.

How many teams are left vacant right now? Looks like we have a few new owners.

I’m down to continue. But also want to do it with a full league of teams. The budget and roster rules won’t work right if we don’t have 12 I imagine. But yeah let’s fill the teams and draft when we get them

I'm open to it too if everyone else is. I'd like to keep the league going if we can find people to take over the teams and stick with it
-
I know my opinion is nil considering I just bought this team, but I’m down with playing/drafting as is with the intention of eventually filling those teams. Might I suggest a post in r/findaleague ?
-
I don't think it's worth it if we only have 7 active teams. You can get a refund if the league doesn't draft. But if you can find more managers, I'm open to it
-
So, I was looking through the community page and it appears the way to have a new commish take over if the current commish seems to have deactivated his account is to "Have the potential new commissioner email help@ottoneu.com with their team name and user name and I’ll manually make them commissioner" I'd go ahead and do that myself unless anyone else wants to be commish and also if everyone is still on board with the league? We are able to start the season whenever, so that won't be

Any possibility it can run as is? Disperse the unclaimed teams into the free agent pool?

Given there's five unclaimed teams and no draft date, I'm going with no unfortunately.

Hey Guys,
Any idea if this league will continue? Just joined, but right now its looking pretty slim...

It would be great to find owners to take these teams and keep the league going

Yeah I think we could find managers for the abandoned teams, but Bombs Away is the commissioner and didn't do cuts. I think the commissioner needs to abandon teams before they can be claimed
-
I also believe I have one or possible two people who may be down to take a team as well. If we get to that point.

We can post the league and see how it goes? Looking at the MANAGERS SEEKING LEAGUES page, looks like a few people had their preferred settings match how our league is set up.
