Draft is over! Trades, auctions, cuts, it's all systems go...
-
Appreciate the takes, I think we'll call it right now....no trading until the Slow Draft is officially over. We'll stick with this logic moving forward as well. Almost there!
-
Let’s wait for the draft to end before trading
-
I don't think it really matters either way whether we accept trades starting today or line them up to accept tomorrow honestly. That said it seems most fair to just wait until tomorrow when the draft is over to allow trading.
P.S. I don't have any trades out there so I'm unbiased (and a bit sad that y'all are leaving me out of the fun!)
-
I don’t have a big problem with trading now bc I don’t think anything that happens in final couple of auctions would change anything in terms of deals but don’t have an issue if people want to hold off completely until rosters are finalized from draft auction
-
but how does everyone feel about accepting trades at this time? It gets a bit murky on when we should technically start allowing this if we don't wait until the slow auction is officially over and my inclination was to tell people to hold off until its finished but wanted to get some opinions on this as well since this is a new question. Let's hear some thoughts!
-
Also wanted to get some opinions on when activity should open back up. I set the draft to be held offline this year in the league settings, unfortunately that unlocked everything activity wise and some folks have begun to receive trade offers already(exciting tbh). But I wanted to make sure that we as a group were all on the same page about this. Technically the draft is not over and I would definitely not be in favor of starting any player auctions or making cuts at this time...cont.
-
I went ahead and gave everyone enough nominations to fill out their rosters today, if would not like to get to 40 players in the slow auction please let me know so I can know who is done. Please get those nominations in today if you get a chance, I've also reduced the timer down to 6 hours to help move things along. Thanks everyone for a great draft, can't wait to get the season going!
-
Hey everyone! Fun 24 hours, lots of movement late last night! Please make sure as we get out of the higher end of the FA pool here that we all continue to make our nominations as they come back to us. Similarly as its not okay to skip noms in a live draft, if you're bidding on players in the pool you need to be using your nominations, so far so good so hopefully I won't have to bug anyone. And I forgot that on CM you have to mark yourself as done, so when you're finished please do so. Thanks!
-
You can mark me DONE for slow draft starting today, not enough money to really bid seriously, have fun guys

Hey everyone! Kicking off at noon eastern today! Just a few things, please nominate asap if you are actively bidding, if you don’t want to keep nominating please let me know and I’ll mark you as finished. Otherwise let’s have some fun! I’ll make sure extension times are high enough so no one misses extensions over night as well. Please feel free to reach out with any questions! Let’s roll 🎉

Howdy. If you're interested in taking on another $50 FGPTS team in a real fun active league lookie here. Good league with two options to build on.

Auction will go live on February 19th at 12pm eastern, we'll start with 3 nominations a piece and have the clocks set for 10 hr initial and 7 hr reset, I'll plan to bump those to 12 and 10 respectively for nighttime. Let's go!
-
Rosters have been imported into Couch Managers, please let me know if anything looks wrong but I just double checked total dollars spent and roster spots used and everything looked good but never hurts to check your individual players.
-
That makes sense! Thanks again

I think it can “technically” be done but I’m not sure how easy it would be to fix any of the formatting issues it would cause. This will be my first time importing rosters into CM so I’d rather not take any gambles lol
-
No rush, but Empty is there any way to import rosters for the 10 teams that have joined before the last 2 do? Just for fun, but if can’t be until all have joined, that’s ok. Thanks

Couch Managers Auction has been created!
https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/index.php?auction_id=724
Please join, password: 2024, ASAP using your team name so I can import the rosters and clean up any potential discrepancies there might be. Thanks everyone and please feel free to let me know if you have any questions!
-
The votes are in! We are kicking off the slow draft on February 19! I will get the draft room set up on couch managers this afternoon so everyone has plenty of time to log in and join. A reminder that EVERYONE must join and be in the auction before we can start so please let me know if you have any troubles logging in. Also please set your name on Couch Managers to match your team name here in the league so I can more easily import the rosters when we're all done. Thanks all, excited to draft!

You are correct in your assumption Commish

9 votes in and moving the start of the draft up to 2/19 still in the lead but not the majority, I'm assuming Papi, you're indifferent as you've only got 2 spots and $3 so that leaves two of you who we haven't heard from. If you don't want to jump on Slack please let me know here which start date you prefer: 3/4 or 2/19.
-
We have currently 7 votes on the slack poll for when to start the slow draft and moving it up to February 19th is currently the leader, if you'd like to make your voice heard please go vote before the end of tomorrow or let me know here on the message board. Either way I'd like to get this on the books in the next 36ish hours. Thanks everyone!
-
If anyone has any questions or grievances as always please feel free to reach out. That being said I scheduled the slow auction to start on March 4th because that is the week we did it last year but! since we're not a start-up this year I presume there will be less prep so if enough folks want to get it started earlier I'm more than happy to do that, in fact I probably prefer it personally especially with the early Seoul series this year! I'll set up a poll on Slack right now! Thanks

Hey all, I'm going to give AKA Big Papi a penalty free cut to get legal before the draft. He made a flurry of trades and miscalculated the salary math....it could happen to the best of us, and I would prefer that everyone be legal before we start the draft. Obviously this is a one time exception but I genuinely believe this was not a malicious decision and I think anyone who has played with Papi will agree. I'll have him get with me and we'll get that player in the FA pool and his roster legal.
-
Keeper and Renewal Deadline today fellas! Good luck with all your decisions and can't wait for real baseball to start soon!

Nice trades guys, especially Cole for Harris is neat

Just a quick reminder that there is only about two more weeks to re-up your league dues for 2024, we still need about half the league to do so, so please do so at your earliest convenience. Thanks!

Hi all. I’m looking for a manager to take over a 16-team H2H non-Ottoneu dynasty team on Yahoo. It’s a fun competitive league that’s been running for 9 years. $40 entry with a unique payout structure that spreads the wealth. If you want to hear more send me a message!

Eight trades in the same league in about 90 minutes or less, got to be a record....lol Thanks for the action, building for 2025, so had to let go big pieces in Wheeler, Garcia, Jung, Greene, Yelich and Suzuki. Now I hope I didn't miscalculate the $$$ coming in versus going out. Hey that was fun!

Okay! We full 🎉🎉
I have the start date for the start of the Couch Managers slow auction for March 4th, 12pm eastern. I believe that was most agreeable time last year so unless there’s some objections let’s stick with it, enough time to plan and enough time before the season.
I’ll create the auction and import rosters after the keeper deadline and share the auction room as soon as I get that done. Excited for another season! Always feel free to hit me up with any questi

Hey everyone, still trying to get someone to fill the empty spot left by Lourdes. If you know anyone in any of your leagues or maybe even someone who would be new to Ottoneu who might be interested in this league let me know, I'd love to be able to get this spot filled up before the keeper deadline...Thanks and looking forward to another great season!!
-
Hey everyone Lourdes has informed me that he has to step away from fantasy baseball for the time being so that roster is available if anyone knows someone who would like to join the league! I've posted on the forum and slack but personal recruitment sometimes works too! Thanks
-
Last day of arbitration everyone! Then we're back live for cuts and trades just in time for the holiday season.

One more team advertisement.
Got an opening in a $100 5x5 if you're looking to get that category fix. Great league that just had probably its best season competition wise. Team is available to claim on the claim a team page.

Requiem for a shift arbitration - Hey requiem it shows you’ve allocated all of your arbitration dollars, but you’re still on RED, which I’m guessing means you didn’t allocate at least $1 to every team. Just fyi. I think you need to do that for your arb to be valid

Little preweekend Arbitration reminder. Just 4 days left to get it done!
-
Hey all, one more week of arbitration left, so lets make sure we get that done before the deadline. Excited to get things fired back up again!! Also I'm open to discussion but some brief commentary on the Slack channel would suggest that we are going to remain a slow draft league, as long as there's no opposition I'll go ahead and make that part of the league description.
-
Hope all is well with everyone. Just wanted to shoot out a reminder that Paydala is now live and renewal for the 2024 season is available. Never hurts to re-up asap to help drive long term commitment in the league, obviously the renewal deadline isn’t until 1/31 but it’s always nice to see a good chunk of the league ready for the next season by the time arb is over. Paydala was pretty seemless and easy but let me know if you have any issues.

Please welcome Paul the new manager of what was Balco Babies and is now Diamond Dogs!
