Big Papi, Good Eye Mates and 7th Inning Streakers please register at couchmanagers. Then go to https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/?auction_id=402 and enter your team name in the teams box in the upper left corner. You will be asked for a password, which is "Hat2023". Until you do this, I can not import your teams and we can not start the draft. Thank you.
-
Fixed. Thanks!
-
On the right hand side, under Auction Settings, there's a link in small letters that says "Edit Team Name". That's how you change your name after the fact.
-
Created my couch manager page earlier this week and used my FanGraphs user name - WrigleyIvy22 - so that's what's showing up for my team name. Don't see a way to change it after the fact.
-
Once your team is there, I can import your players from Ottoneu. You can see that I've imported my own players as an test. As soon as everyone registers with Couchmanagers and places their team, we can talk about start dates and auction lengths and other fun stuff.
-
I can not import your teams until you join couchmanagers and join the draft. If you do not already have a couchmanagers account, go to https://www.couchmanagers.com/ and create an account. It will not cost you anything. Once you've created an account, go to https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/?auction_id=402 and enter your team name in the teams box in the upper left corner. You will be asked for a password, which is "Hat2023".

I'm ready for the draft to start whenever. Maybe this Saturday? Or is that too early?
-
Welcome T.R. There are a lot of Ottoneubs (that has to be a term, right?) in this league, so you fit right in.
-
That’s great T. R. I will now work on setting up the league in couchmanagers. When do want the draft there to start?
-
Thanks for the welcome commish. Hello all...my name is T.R. and I am new to Ottoneu but bring lots of keeper type league experience. Looking forward to getting started.

Welcome to RocketScience, the new owner of grrah. RocketScience, you have one round of free cuts. If you have any questions, please ask me.
-
Yeah apologies for the delay - I'll get my cuts done this weekend

Yes, as soon as Moneyballers does cuts and grrah is claimed and does cuts, I will set up the league in couchmanagers. In the meantime, I encourage everyone to get an account at couchmanagers. Thanks for your patience.
-
I assumed we wouldn't be starting a draft or have it in Couch Managers until we got the last two teams squared away
-
would it be possible for someone to explain to me the process on couch managers? When I go to the link I do not see anything for our league
-
Question - When I'm on my home page of Couch Managers, where can I see my 2023 draft? Thanks
-
I have just helped the Linwood Stars make his one time cuts which is why there’s a C next to the cuts.
-
For what its worth I prefer weekly, also was a big reason I picked the league seeing that it was weekly, works much better with work schedule and home schedule, weekly is all I play now
-
That's very cool. Thanks for the explainer!
-
There's an import and export function between Ottoneu and Couchmanagers.
-
Oh nice. So do we run the draft there and then you as the commish manually assign the players+salaries?
-
It will be through couchmanagers, take a look here: https://www.couchmanagers.com/baseball/
-
Can anyone explain exactly how the slow draft will work? I understand the idea but have never been in one myself?
I just spent my lunch break planning my roster to make cuts tonight, and boy does it involve cuts I know I should make but don't want to.
-
Welcome aboard to the new owner of the Boss Hogs. As I have noted before, you have one round of penalty free cuts. If you have any questions, please ask me.
-
Hey all, glad to be here. Looking forward to trying a slow draft.
-
Welcome aboard to the new owner of the Rockhill Royals. As I've just explained, you have one round of penalty free cuts. If you have any questions, please ask me.
-
Yes, all new managers get a round of free cuts:
Rule V (i) - If a team's manager changes, the new manager is given the opportunity to make one round of penalty-free cuts.
-
Thanks! Appreciate the quick response! I might have a guy interested in one of the teams. Do you know if managers who claim now (since it is after the cut deadline) get to cut players without penalty?

I expect we will be using the same drafting system (couchmanagers) as last year.
-
I have also abandonned the Rockhill Royals and Boss Hogs. I thought it was clear they weren't returning. I am waiting on grrah. If you know anyone...
-
Sorry about the confusion. I forgot to update the league description. I have fixed that. We were a 5x5 during the regular season and a FGpoints during the playoffs last years. This was unpopular. The concensus was that it had to be one scoring system for the regular system and playoffs. 5x5 is not available for the playoffs, so we're an FGpoints league.
-
Can I get a point of clarity? Description of the league says 5x5, but scoring system says FanGraphs points?

Welcome to the league Terry, Bryan, and Serge....good to have you guys on board and looking forward to a fun season. Hopefully the teams you inherited had some good players at decent prices.
In regards to the draft, I am definitely also on board with a slow draft. Will it be similar to last year where multiple players are auctioned at the same time over 8 hours or so? I am also fine with weekly or daily lineups.

The consensus seems to be a slow draft. I will look into setting that up with couch managers. Everyone seems to be okay continuing with weekly moves. I will abandon the Rockhill Royals and the Boss Hogs tomorrow unless I hear an objection. I will write to grrah to see if he’s still interested.
-
Slow draft for me, daily or weekly but prefer daily
-
I have young kids at home so the slow draft really worked well for me last year, but if the league wants to switch to a live draft I should be able to make it work. Weekly or daily rosters are fine by me.
-
Excited to be here! Good luck and I'm pretty much open to whatever

Would vote for the slow draft if thats on the table, but would be open to either choice for weekly/daily.

Welcome to the three owners who claimed teams tonight. I must point out that the $20 fee for the league is due at midnight tonight. I expect some other teams to not pay (Rockhill Royals, Boss Hogs). We also have to discuss how often moves take place (daily or weekly), and are we still interested in a slow draft. However, I am heartened that we are at full strength, if only temporarily.
-
Hello everyone, my name is Terry and I am new to Ottoneu. I've been playing another keeper format for quite awhile but I've been looking for something different and this looks like it could be fun. I'm still trying to absorb some of the rules. I guess my first that I must do is my cuts by 1/31.

Welcome to the league Bryan, I'm Serge and new in this one too but good Ottoneu experience, if you need help haller
-
My name is Bryan by the way lol
-
Hey everyone, so I am new to this platform but I have been playing fantasy baseball for around 15 years, the key for me is a weekly league and I liked some players on the team, I look forward to being a part of the league, I just ask you are patient with me as I learn the website and navigate it.
-
Hello all, I am going to bow out of Ottoneu for this season. I have tried to find an "abandon team" button, but do not see one. If it is a commish function, Quick please abandon Coop15. Or if I need to do it, if someone could let me know how, great. You were all really fun to be in the league with, and hopefully there are enough productive players on Coop under reasonable salary to make the team attractive to a new owner. Thanks everyone and take good care.

It turns out that playoffs have to be points based, so we’re a points based league for both unless we want to ditch the playoffs. Ignore the draft date. I had to enter some date to save the other changes.
-
Thanks for stepping up, Quick. Posts on the ottoneu community message board also often result in swift manager pickups. I'm ok with either 5x5 or Points with maybe a slight preference for points just because it's newer to me and seems fun.
-
Thanks for taking over as commish. I found this league last year on the reddit fantasy baseball forum....Wonder if could make a post on there looking for managers to take over the teams? I feel like that may be the quickest way to find some people within the next week. In terms of the scoring system, I have no real preference but would just prefer that the regular season and playoffs are the same.
