A couple of things here: 1) the Trade Deadline appears to be 8/31; 2) Re playoffs. a) We have 10 GS limit a week for pitchers, but we currently have a 2 week final. I'm assuming that that's not 20 starts, but 10. b) so, playoffs are set to 2 GS for pitchers per day (for all rounds), giving you up to 28 starts over 2 weeks (which would be nearly impossible, but theoretically possible). Should I change the 2 week final to just 1 week and keep the 10 GS limit (so we're consistent all the way?)
-
Ya it combined weeks with next week
-
Fantrax
-
And surely that other platform doesn’t run just three days, so they’re combining with next week? Unless its not h-to-h
-
What league/platform is that? Yahoo combined weeks but gave notice. Ottoneu combined weeks but with no advance notice …
-
Ya my other league started a new week I wouldn't of wasted all of my sp if I would of known lol
-
Bc Just three days (Friday-sat-sunday) but this is where the 10’start limit gets us (over the 2SPs a day alternative)
-
This is still week 15 wtf ?
-
What's going on this should be a new week ?
-
I have 11 players on IL. I swear these dudes are all pussies now lol wtf 😂
-
Before I forgot, I changed our settings to "arbitration" from "vote off"
-
Um, Tittburgh, i think you’re supposed to gain points not lose them
-
Boy it sure is a great feeling when you sign a guy to fill the back part of your SP rotation and then you have to cut him 9 days later because he has to get Tommy John hahaha
-
Ok It finally updated for me
-
I'm seeing my total points from yesterday, but not the individual points for players at the moment.
-
Anyone else not get any points for yesterday ?
-
man sharks, we have a helluva matchup this week...too bad someone is going down
-
Down with the new commissioner! Haha. Ya all good i forgot we changed it. I think Tittsburgh has had enough for one week already.

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 😂😂lol
-
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 You’re 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.
