The complaint is more about limited funds and the mechanics of couchmanagers than the pause. No matter I will be done with the auction shortly.
-
Additionally, if someone does outbid me for player A And I’ve decided I already put in my highest bid on him, I want to have the flexibility to switch to player B and put in a bid before his clock expires.

2 of 2. But if I bid on player B the night before and don’t get up to check the result of player A, if no one else outbids me, I am now locked in on player B and potentially a player that I didn’t want without knowing the result of player A. Unless the clock resets during the pause that I’m not aware of. Maybe I’m missing out on that.

1 of 2. Here’s one scenario I can think of: let’s say I have the leading bid on player A. There’s one hour left on his window before the pause starts. I’m also interested in player B, but don’t want to bid on him Until I see the result or extension of player A’s auction. Player B has an hour and a half left on his auction at the pause. The auction restarts at 4 AM West Coast time, so now player A either gets outbid and restarts his clock at 5am or I get him.

Exactly right Boys - and I’m on the west coast
-
Do not understand with 8 hr resets how the overnight pause even needs to be a thing independent of time zone. One could argue that those on the west coast could make a bid before going to sleep and this bid could be a full 3 hours after east coast managers went to bed.
-
Yes, because the auction was restarting at 2:30 AM our time.

Bombo - we changed this for you. You need to keep nominating players.
-
After discussing with Noot, I've shifted the pause to 2am to 7am eastern; adding an additional hour for our west coast managers. Friendly reminder that any new high bid under 8hrs on the clock will reset the clock back to 8hrs. Meaning if you get out bid while sleeping you'll have a fresh 8hrs plus the overnight pause to react (13hrs total). There should be no need to get up in the middle of the night. If you're interested in a player get your bids in before shutting down for the night.
-
I would like to propose that we lengthen the overnight pause for about two or three additional hours. Otherwise, it looks like I’ll have to set an alarm for about 3:30 AM West Coast time to check on players currently being bid on, which will expire within an hour or two of 3:30am my time. Which seems ridiculous. We’re certainly not in that big of a rush

Nootbar and I will do our best to get auctions posted into Ottoneu as they finish over on CM. First auctions are ending, please do your best to keep up on nominations so we can knock this out efficiently!
-
Standings only determine tied auctions in-season on Ottoneu. Prior to the season it is actually settled by a random coin toss.
-
No - CM will run like eBay. So whoever puts the high bid in first will hold at that price. For instance...player X is at $4; I'm willing to pay $8. If I bid $8 on CM, it will show me leading the auction at $5, and my bid will auto-increase up until $8. If someone after me comes and bids $8, the price would jump to $8, but I would still have the high bid.
-
I know this was mentioned somewhere a while back, but seem to have lost that email. In the event of an equal bid, is the winner the one who finished lower in the standings last year?

Thanks - let’s leave as is.
-
Thanks for all the hard work! I was mostly away this weekend, so could just monitor. I'll say, I don't recall if Hader was final. I'm fine with the auction as is.

I think hader's auction had not yet closed but was getting close to closing
-
That sounds right to me too. I thought Hader had been picked. Can anyone else confirm?
-
Was just reviewing a few things this AM and found that I had copied down Josh Hader for $14 for to Raganomics but he's listed in current auctions. I could be wrong but just flagging.
-
Draft is open. Official overnight pause will be 1:30-5:30 am Eastern.
-
Sorry guys - I missed bolding not one but two of my own. I have Bregman at 29 and Adolis garcia at 16. commish can see them on the file I sent prior. I also looked at everyone else's rosters and found that Duran Duran is missing Ryan prissily for 8 and Boys 2.0 is missing randy arozarena for 15. all of the other rosters have the same amount spent on CM vs my sheet.
-
I am good. Thanks to all who are keeping this moving as smoothly as it can.

Looks good. Thanks guys 👍
-
I think I am good as well. I had a couple auctions that were close to closing that I had won in my mind!LOL.
-
Mines all good. Thanks
-
I couldn’t sleep so keepers have been added on CM. Please take a moment a confirm everything looks good. I don’t think I messed anything up, but I did do them by hand. PS…a huge thanks to Josh for keeping a record of the CM results and putting us in a position to simply carry on rather than start over!
-
Thank you everyone for your patience and understanding over the last week. Happy drafting and looking forward to another wonderful season playing Ottoneu with you all!
-
Starting Monday, in an effort to get things done efficiently, we’ll start with 12hr initial and 8hr resets. I’ll pause timers from 2-6AM eastern to avoid any overnight issues. This should help move the day time along without anyone getting surprised overnight. If you’re in a strange/foreign time zone please speak up so we can adjust accordingly. My other league cleared 40+ players in less than 2 days with these settings. The ~155 players left, yields the 3-4 days timeline previously mentioned.
-
As commish has stated - I will add any finished auctions onto CM platform tomorrow evening. We’ll restart on CM Monday morning, giving tomorrow as a buffer should any other issues arise. To everyone, my apologies; I’ve used CM for multiple years without an issue and am surprised by the events of this week. Hopefully, we’re through it and in the other side. For reference, I’ve been added as a co-commish here to help assist in the rolling addition of players as auctions end on CM.
-
sorry, had him on the roster but didn't have him bolded so it was easy for our commish to miss him
-
Thank you. Added now
-
Kirby Yates. I won him for $9
-
I did. Who’d I miss?
-
Did you add the players to Ottoneu that were drafted on CM already? If so, there's one missing from my roster.
-
Hi All - we've confirmed that Santo can add all of the players who have completed auctions into CM, which he'll do tomorrow. This will be the same players who I have already added to your rosters in ottoneu. Then we will re-commence the slow-draft on Monday morning, with shorter time periods and allowing each owner to nominate 3 players. We will plan to add players to your ottoneu roster as auctions are completed, as additional precaution. We estimates it will take 3-4 days to finish.
-
Thanks Bronx. I'm consulting with Santo and will get back to the League shortly. If we can manually add the results, then that's the best option. But will come back to the League with more info asap.
-
CM is back up but it looks like it did not save the results of what we’ve done so dar.
-
One of the owners, thankfully, tracked all of the completed auctions, and I have added all of those players to your rosters now. Please double check. You will see all of those in the transactions list.
-
Niv posted on the community board today that they’re working on setting up a new server for CM. Unfortunately it looks like the data between the first crash (Sunday) and the last crash (Thursday) was lost. The new server was a complete dud.
-
Thanks Bronx. There is a very complete summary of the situation and timeline in Niv’s
post, and I encourage everyone to go read it. Seems like best case is that it’s up and running tomorrow.
-
Niv said (about 23 minutes ago) CM’s new server crashed and they’re working on migrating to a new one. Might be this weekend before CM is operational again.
-
I checked the community forum and Niv confirmed that the CM server is down. That was around an hour ago (that he confirmed it). So we need to wait for further news. To Bronx E's point, I have my results written down (in terms of completed auctions), and trust owners know if they won an auction and for how much.
-
If you can backup the results that would be great. I have my results written down but IDK if everyone else has done that.
-
Having issues across both auctions I’m currently in. I can go back and re-open/extend auctions if needed. If I get in long enough to pause I will.
-
FYI, CM performance seems to be degrading. hopefully is doesn't crash but might be nice to have a backup of the data just in case.
-
Undo bid (commish tool) is right next to “pass” on mobile and doesn’t ask for confirmation.
-
I accidentally removed it***
-
Someone other than Bombo had the top bid on Wiyler Abreu and accidentally removed it. If it was you, please replace your bid. MY APOLOGIES
-
Thanks Santo. Also helps for everyone to nominate players - I know most everyone has, but not everyone
-
Any auctions currently active will remain as is, the 18hr adjustment will begin on the next set of nominations.
