Discord works or WhatsApp works

I can setup a group chat if y’all like. It just depends on what’s easiest for everyone. Discord, WhatsApp, or GroupMe would be easiest. Does anyone have a problem getting/using WhatsApp?

Typically use Discord or Group Me. Any rules or deadlines/decisions I will post on Ottoneu League Board. Sorry, not the one to set up either.

Yes, I will be looking for the group chat as well. I am sure one of us is tech savvy enough to set it up.

@Toasty Ravioli I’m a fan of the group chat just to make things easier too.

Welcome Jeff. The 13th was a no go for couple owners. We will have to schedule a 2nd night.

Hey all! I’m Jeff. Anyway we could move the draft to the 13th? I would be off for both days of the draft then. If not I’ll make due. I know we have a guy from Germany so I’d defer to him. I know it’s difficult coordinating phone calls across the globe much less a draft.

Welcome Matt, now 8 Owners in, need 4. Matt, the initial draft is typically 4 to 5 hours first night then 2 -3 hours second night. The second night goes quickly due to dwindling salary cap for all owners. I know we have a couple owners out west, we can start at 8pm if this makes it work better for the group. Looking at March 13 and 14 for draft night. Anyone have any question or concerns, please drop me a note or my email is accgrad82@aol.com. Thanks.

Germany? That is fantastic! Hopefully we can find a time that works for all.
-
Hey all! Another guy named Matt here. I was curious about what the draft will look like since it will probably take two nights. I assume it'll just be that we start at 7PM two nights in a row. Is that right? I live in Cologne, Germany, so I want a little extra prep time since it'll start around 1AM here, and I'll want to have the next morning free.

Good afternoon, great see our league filling up, 6 more teams to go. I will probably push back draft 2 weeks to allow us to fill our league. New date will be posted by this Saturday. (Still allow for 2 weeks before season starts.) Note...initial draft typically takes 8 hrs. of drafting time, typically done in 2 nights. Also some owners expressed a wish to play in same division, no problem. I will set divisions once we get closer to fill. Invite your friends to join us for a fun season.

Hey all, I'm Matt. First time using Ottoneu but I've been playing fantasy baseball for about a decade now. Currently in a roto league and a H2H categories league. Decided to try out a new league. Glad to be here, looking forward to competing with y'all!
-
That is a great point. I did not think about trades. I imagine in this league, trading is a lot more important.
-
Tried to leave enough time for trades and free agents before start of season. Probably could move another week forward if no opposition. Thank you.

Ok, so hopefully you all don't mind the questions. I noticed that our draft is Tuesday Feb 28th (the last day of Feb). I am use to drafting (doing the auction) closer to the start of the season. Is the draft day selected based on the rules of the game, do we need to the extra time to get our teams set up, is it in line with real baseball some how, etc? To be clear, I am fine with the time, I am just wondering if there is any strategy connected to the timing.
-
I am glad we switched to allocation instead of vote off.
-
No. 10 per week.
Yankees South on

To clarify, Is there still 2SP per day?
Glosta 108s on

There will be 5 SP slots until you have less starts left. Example, by Friday if your SP have started 7 games for the week, there will only be 3 spots left. Hope that helps.
Yankees South on

Does this mean that weakly pitching limits are being turned on and we go to 5 SP slots?
-
Thanks for the response. I am happy to do either but would prefer the 10 starts per week as that allows weekly flexibility and creates roster flexibility as we have a better understanding as to how many starters we need in the auction. At 10 starts per week I would assume that is about 8 pitchers per week depending on how your two starts fall.
-
A decision has not been made on weekly starts. Leaning towards 10 starts per week's schedule. You start your pitchers, no limit per day, but once the owner hits 10 for week, no more starts accrue stats. 2 of 3 of my other leagues use 10 per week. Thanks.

Good morning all. I have mentioned I am new to Ottoneu and I have a few questions as I learn the game. First question is SP. I noticed we can have either 10 starts per week or 2 daily spots. We have the 2 spots. How does that work if I have three pitchers going on a day? Also, is this the type of league where there is a lot of SP streaming. It seems to me with the FA rules, it will be difficult to pick up FA pitchers.
-
As far as filling, you should have no problem. All of us fantasy footballers are now switching over to baseball. The list of available new leagues is small. Give it till Feb but once people start gearing up for fantasy baseball we will fill up quick!
-
It's 12. I commish another league of 10. Thanks. Will advertise the league today to try and fill.

Is this going to be a 10 team or 12 team? It is advertised as a 12.

Congrats and Welcome. 5 teams in, 5 more needed. Thank you all.

Hey all, good evening! My name is Jon, my online name is Asherdad and my team is the Rowdies. First time to Ottoneu. Started playing Roto in 89, my senior year in high school. Have played ever since. Have played all sorts of formats and right now I am in a h2h non keeper league and a Strat-o-matic league. I also have played an NFBC 50's team for the past 2 years for fun. I am a high school science teacher in San Diego and I have 3 kids, none of whom like baseball. Booo!
-
Good idea. Are they all the same priced league. Something for me to look at. Thanks.

You can look at existing leagues from last season and see how each player of each team scored for that day. The player points for the day are reported to the hundredths place, and can see that innings pitched are divided in thirds for each third of an inning pitched.
Also, noticed that there are three other new open H2H FanGraphs points leagues. Any thoughts on combining some leagues?
Glosta 108s on

I noticed the points value for an inning is NOT divisible by 3, which would make it easy.
-
I am new to this format, so am not clear on how partial innings work. I looked around online and couldn't find the answer. Regardless, as long as the rule is applied consistently, do you think it will impact some pitchers more than others?

Anyone know how partial innings for a pitcher get scored?

My 13 year old son and I have been managing fantasy baseball teams together the past two years and are taking our first dip into Ottoneu. We are looking forward to learning about Ottoneu and love the idea of the long-term dynasty format that is more similar to real-life MLB management than most other fantasy formats. In addition to everything baseball, we enjoy spending time, riding waves and eating seafood by the ocean in Gloucester, Massachusetts.

The Susquehanna River (SusQ) starts in Cooperstown, New York, runs the whole way through Pennsylvania and into the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland. It is the longest East Coast River. I live in its lush valley. A metric ton of Amish folk do as well. My area is a homeland to very many Grey Squirrels, who make brunch out of the decorative gourds we disdplay on our porches in the fall. They seem to be content with human cohabitation.
