you are all correct in explaining. The league asked to move from the limit of 2 starts a day to the other option, & that option limits you to only 10 starts. The 2 starts a week could, conceivably allow you 14 starts in a week...but, when you have 3 starts in a day, you were only allowed 2. There are pros and cons to both settings....the 10 starts limit likely makes it more fair (in weekly HtoH matches) but will be painful when you're at the end of a week (especially a long week like t
-
well that explains it.. forgot about the 10 start limit. Kind of weird its still 10 when its an extended week.

This scoring is crazy lol. Why is there no points for a rbi ? Strange lol
-
Yep, I'm seeing 10 starts per week - and I have 3 guys starting today all being credited so there's no cap on daily starts from what I can tell.
-
Seems the 10 starts per week is still in effect.
-
Good! U don't need any more points ๐๐lol
-
maybe im missing something but i noticed i only have one SP spot per day this week. Did we change something?

But happy opening day. (and a sad day for me due to the cuts i have to make)
-
I've waited nearly a month for guys to go IL and now that they have, I learn that IL10/15 guys don't get the same treatment as SUSP and 60 day IL guys. smh
-
let the players roid! Move the fence back and just watch guys throw 105mph and crush the ball 500 feet

Yeah when you have players on IL or SUSP in here Youโre permitted to go over 40. Those guys wont count against your limit (for now)
-
Ok thanks for the info. Of course my 3b just got suspended for steroids lol. They should just make them legal, but now I have an extra roster spot ? Or will that put me over it says 41 now
-
In order for the league to be fun all season, we all have to stay involved. Even if our teams fall out of the hunt for the playoffs, we should strive to knock teams off from week-to-week, playing the spoiler. There's no benefit or bonus in the draft or in cap space etc, in coming in last. Plus, over the next 10 years, we'll add up all of our wins/losses and crown a true dynasty champ in here
-
BTW, as an aside, if you go over your roster number or over your cap, the system will lock you from setting your lineups, or proposing or accepting trades. I'm not worried about that pre-season (it's our spring training too), but in-season, there is an expectation that teams will set their lineups daily. An occasional missed day isn't cause for any alarm, but multiple days or extended absences will lead me to email/message warnings & ultimately (worst case) transfer a team.
-
Correct. Everyone has a chance to bid on them.
-
Is this how u pick up players all season ? By starting auctions ?
-
I learned a lot from that draft will be more prepared next year lol. I could use a 3b or utility guy if anyone wants to make some trades. Good luck all
-
ok, and we're here...draft day! 4pm PT/7pm ET
-
so if you have a player voted off under the prior system, remember that player (or maybe the system will warn us) and you can bid on that player at a discount (i.e. you get him for $5 less than whatever your winning bid is)
-
Hi Everyone,
Tempest contacted about the problem that the change we made from "vote-off" to arbitration is causing in our draft setting. To alleviate, the recommendation was to change back to "vote-off" just until we get through the drat, then go back to arbitration. I made that change and see that the system then increased our budgets per the players "voted off". We should still have the chance to get those players back at a discount
-
Thanks for the updates @Tempest and @STL. Cool with all of the rule changes and looking forward to the draft!
-
Ok thanks ! That helps by looking at the auction page I can see all of the free agents
-
We each take turns nominating a free agent and then everyone has a chance to bid (within a 15-second timeframe that resets for each new bid). Last year's auction took about three hours I think but it's pretty variable and some teams with fewer spots to fill were done much earlier than that. If you haven't done one of these before you can check out what the draft room looks like before Thursday by pressing "Auction Draft" above. Hope that's helpful!
-
Thanks for the info. I had no idea all those guys would be available lol. So how does it work ? Alphabetical order ? Or some shit ? I could see this taking a long time
-
Thanks Tempest!
For you returning managers, the settings changes reflect your requests from last season.
For us new managers (and commish), it'll be all new for us!
Can't wait til Thursday.
-
I believe that this is the list of those restricted free agents, hopefully to make things clearer for everyone:
Matt Olson
Corey Seager
Gunnar Henderson
Pete Alonso
Spencer Strider
Zac Gallen
Yordan Alvarez
Zack Wheeler
Cody Bellinger
Ronald Acuna Jr.
Shohei Ohtani
Oneil Cruz

Also, Ottoneu doesn't make it very easy to find a list of the free agents voted off of teams during arbitration in November (looks like we will switch to allocation next offseason). These players can be had at auction (at a $5 discount if they return to the team from which they were voted off) but don't show up as free agents in the player search tab, which is confusing. I combed through each roster to find these players, which are very discreetly labeled as "Restricted Free Agents."
-
Just want to make sure that everyone has seen the changes to our league settings this offseason before we go into the auction so there's no confusion later. I'm fine with these changes -- 10GS/week, allocation next offseason, 6 teams make the playoffs -- but I don't remember us really discussing them all, so wanted to put that out there. I know we've got a lot of new folks as well -- welcome!
-
DRAFT DAY is 5 days away!
-
Also, please try to not bid with just 1 second left. it will happen. but don't make it a habit as that adds 15 or so seconds to every bid when we could just be adding 2-3 seconds with a quick counter bid. Bidding with 1 second left over and over adds 2-3 minutes per pick. especially when the bids are $1 more...
-
To help speed us up, I'm going to activate the "lock teams if they fail to nominate" option and that will lock that team for one round (then I'll pause and unlock them before their next nomination). 3 missed nominations and they'll be locked for the remainder of the draft.
-
I see that our teams are needing between 8 and 27 players. The teams with the greater needs could result in up to 5 hours on the clock..I have to cut out at 6:50pm PT so I plan to be done by then...
-
The Draft can last anywhere from 30 minutes to 4 hours, depending on who you nominate and how much you have and are willing to spend
-
I've received a conflict about moving up to Wednesday so we'll just keep as is. If the draft isn't over by the time I leave, I'll add one of you as co-commish to pause the draft or unfreeze folks...
-
Welcome !! I'm good either day but earlier the better since some of us work early. How long does it usually take ?
-
GFY Express has been claimed and is now Mudhens II. Welcome Bearcat/Mudhens!
-
Hey all, we're set to draft on Thursday, March 7th but I would have to leave at 6:45pm PT/9:45pm ET (it's possible the draft is over by then though). But, just to be sure, does anyone object to moving this draft up one day to Wednesday March 6th 4:30pm PT/7:30pm ET? If there are any conflicts I won't move it
-
only two teams took advantage of the free cut Friday so I'll keep the one free cut round open for teams that haven't yet taken advantage to be able to do so through the weekend.....(remember, you get just one "round" which you can use to cut 10 guys or just one and then it'll lock you again)
-
oops, it was Chicago that had the St. Val day massacre...sorry New York
-
Sorry about the confusion, I didn't realize all cuts had to be made in 1 move or I would have done it right the first time. Good luck everybody

lol sounds fair. It's a lot to take in for us new guys. Good luck to all and if Steve needs to pay early I can let him use my cc. Before u boot him lol he's good for it
-
New York had the St. Valentines massacre, we have the February 9 roster cut massacre!
-
ok, cut away, but remember, if you don't do a group cut, it will lock you as soon as you hit "cut". so be sure to include everyone that you want to cut at one time! Good luck!
-
So here's what we are going to do, EVERYONE (except GFY, unless that team pays today and let's us know with a post) is going to be unlocked to make additional penalty free cuts. This is a ONE time cut, not all day, but it does end at midnight eastern time. You have to cut everyone at once (not one at a time or come back a second time). It's a one time cut for paid teams for one day. No penalties? Sound good?
-
Since turning on the free cut rounds, Scrubs cut 12, WA Kickback 5, Suarez 4, Tittsburg 3, WA Kick 2 more, Scrubs 7 more, Suarez 5 more, Tittburg another 3 and then the new team GFY Express made 23 cuts. Suarez, after I announced I would unlock for a final round of cuts, you made 5 more cuts. But then yesterday said you wanted more cuts. I'm just at this point where it's unfair to the rest of the league unless I unlock everyone (except GFY express, b/c of the payment issue).
-
At what point do i turn it off? some of the new teams joined before 1/31 and were technically supposed to make the cuts before then (without freebies) but I added those new managers/teams into the free cut round.
-
Here's how cuts work. When newly joining managers join, they get one free "round" of cuts. Once the team uses that, the system reverts to a lock. Later, we'll all be unlocked to make cuts that charge us 50% of the players cost as a cap penalty for late cuts. For now, the problem that i'm having is continually reopening cuts after rounds of cuts are made. some of you made cuts then asked for more cuts and then made more cuts and now there is a request for additional cuts.
