Hey all. Who's got Ottoneu on the brain? We do!!!!
Friendly reminders. We have until January 31st to trade and cut players freely. By January 31st, you have to have a legal team (40 players and $400) or you cannot participate in the draft. If you're waiting to make last second cuts, don't forget!
Also, if you're planning to return for next season, consider paying up ;)

Housekeeping items!
1) Please note, you have until 1/31/25 to make trades and to drop players without penalty. After that, all activity is frozen until the draft. What does this mean? You have to have a legal lineup by January 31st!
2) Let's start floating possible dates for our draft. I propose a late Feb Fri/Sat/Sun evening at 5 or 6 pm. Optional live party. Technically the draft is optional for you! Again, make sure that you're legal by 1/31/25.
3) Pleas

Yep, I think that's the annoying part about SP/RP, and I think you also need to micromanage pitchers starting behind openers or you won't get credit for their starts
-
Seeing the Jordan Hicks auction reminds me: I'm pretty sure it'll take five pitching starts before he earns SP eligibility and therefore can be used in Ottoneu. This will go for other converted relievers in the future. Am I right?

Haha, thanks for being the guinea pig for this, I was curious if the system would let you exceed 40 active players at all
-
I accidentally added a 41st player and I have an error message on my end saying I need to cut someone. So I guess that's what happens when you have too many players!
-
For sure. I think it replicates the MLB 40 man rules basically, which also allows you to replace 60-day IL players as long as they're out
-
Got ya thank you. But thought that's why we have rosters of 40 to accommodate those situations

If you have a 60-day IL or suspended player, they don't count against your 40. When they return, you'll have to cut them or someone to make space for them again
-
I am confused how do some teams have 41 players on their team? and it says 41 out of 41

This slow draft concept sounds interesting for the second phase of our auction. I wonder if this software on this website is smart enough to manage it...

Part 2! I plan to end the draft at 9:30 but will entertain changes to that plan by consensus. We will either need to schedule a second draft session or try out something called a "slow draft" (Google it). We'll talk in the chat.

Everyone get ready! The auction draft is starting soon. Please review our league settings.
One thing I'll ask once we get together: should there be a consequence for failing to nominate a player in turn? Are you worried about members "sitting out" to save dollars and avoid getting stuck with their nominated players on purpose? I see this as a minor issue that might increase throughout the draft. If anyone isn't present for the start of the draft, that figures into how we &

Per-matchup pitching starts are now capped at 9. Note: during the playoff finals it is instead capped at 9 per week for a two week match.

Good catch. I've set it for 5:30pm Pacific time.

Should we update the draft time to 5 PM PST? Or are we sticking with 11 AM?

Hey all! Until further notice, all league planning activity is taking place on our Discord. Once that Discord is closed, this page will become the official place for all league chat and activity.
We need to plan the second date for our draft! I will decide on a date myself; it's up to you to give feedback on Discord. Technically you can miss the draft; you just won't have picked any players and will have a huge free agent budget ;)
