I guess there has to be someone that still prefers the one and done method. I’m doing a lot of traveling these days, daily, actually. Depending on when this is - as it seems to have overwhelming support, I may be more settled down to check. But right now, that would be really difficult.

I'm fine with a slow draft as well.
-
So far, 7 owners have agreed to the idea of a slow draft using couchmanager. I'm waiting for the response from 4 owners before I start working on that, so pls respond Y/N if you haven't done so.
-
I'm flexible for pretty much any time other than the weekend of March 8th. Happy to do a slow draft too.

I am in favor of slow draft. Have never done but sounds fun.
-
Sounds like a great option. Happy to help in any way.
-
I’m also good with the slow draft, and I’m happy to help with loading the results into Ottoneu.

I am up for slow draft so long as not a lot of extra work for the commisoner.

My experience is about 10-12 days depending on how it’s set up. We generally do 24hr clock, reset to 12hr on new bids below that (basically in place of overnight pauses). 2 noms to start, bump to 3 once major players are gone (generally day 4/5). Eligibility issues are minor, usually only a few players that are fairly obvious. I was hesitant (and truthfully didn’t enjoy it) at first, but have come to enjoy it…definitely a slight learning curve and mental adjustment to make.

Here’s a link to an article about this: https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/thinking-about-auctions-fast-and-slow-logistics-and-details/

Good feedback. If we started early March do you think that would be enough time?
-
Other Ottoneu league i have done this in, it has gone really smoothly. Think we started with 12 hour auctions reset to 8 when outbid, paused overnight, each owner having 1 nomination to start. Once auction was flowing and everyone was comfortable increased the number of nominations to 2 or 3. I did not feel like position eligibility was that hard to navigate. Guessing that entire slow draft took 2 weeks maybe.
I am in favor. It eliminates the trouble scheduling a draft day for 12 ow
-
My understanding is that there is a lot of variability allowed - e.g. the amount of time player auctions are live, the number of players each owner can nominate per round, etc. One comment was that the position eligibility in Ottoney and CM doesn't match, so people would have to be very careful about that. Lastly, the downside of an auction like this is that a lot can happen before the season begins. So I don't quite know how to handle the timing (when should we start it, etc?). (2/2)
-
Thanks for the suggestion. I spent a few minutes looking at this and it appears that Ottoneu is set up to import into Couchmanagers, and from the Community comments it works well. That said, there are a lot of options for how it is done, and everyone would have to agree to this because they would have to set up in Couchmanagers to participate. that is I'd have to set up the draft and each of you would have to create an account, etc. Do people want to do this? We need all 12. (1/2)
-
I use couchmangers in another league, easy to import into, commish generally has to manually add on the back end. Open to a slow draft if the rest of the league is…happy to help add players on the back end to ease the burden on commish if that’s the route we go. Also open to an earlier draft in Feb if it works best for everyone’s schedules.
-
In one of my other leagues we are using couch managers slow draft. I think it is pretty easy to interface with Ottoneu.
-
I haven’t been able to review the second round of voting . As I said, if anyone has a better idea how to schedule a draft for 12 busy people please suggest how to do it. I have one owner who said they are available for 1/13 dates! That makes it almost impossible to schedule.
-
Santo - thank you and I missed that. Those are official games and they count. We should draft before that.
-
FWIW, I can't be on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday. I have to run basketball and baseball practices until 10.
-
21st is currently leading poll round 2; friendly reminder that the Korea games are 20th/21st…not sure how much we (as a league) care about counting those games.
-
Thanks for the quick responses - pls see another email I sent to the league regarding draft date.
-
I’m waiting for 4 owners to respond to the draft date poll.
-
Hi Santo - you beat me to the punch. I plan to use Doodle as I did last year to determine a date and will do that this weekend. It’s one of the toughest things in all of fantasy (draft scheduling)
-
Shall we start getting draft scheduled? My calendar is already filling up!

Looking to do last minute trades. Please send offers. All players on team available

Hi Owners - all but two owners have renewed their teams. To the two who have not, please make sure you do that before the Jan 31 deadline. And thank you to the rest who have renewed. Keep up the trade action!
-
Good to know - thanks Bombo
-
By the way, I believe 11am central MLB Network is doing a press conference with the new inductees out in Cooperstown this morning, if you’re interested

I had some issues with a Visa card that wasn't going through but worked with a different card. Used Chrome. Were you connecting via VPN or with your location blocked via policy?

Hi Bombo - no issues for me either - it only took a couple of minutes. It looks like 8 Managers have been able to renew. You can email ottoneu if your problems persist.
-
No issuse for me. I renewed earlier this week from my cell phone. I had used paydala for fantasy football renewal previously as well.
-
Anyone else having trouble renewing? When I try it says “unable to get users location, please provide location address to continue.” But all it does is spin endlessly

Welcome to the league! We have not used any outside forum for the league but open to that if the owners have interest in that.
-
Greetings all! New ownership coming in for the TTBNL. Excited to join this active and competitive league. Do folks connect at all outside of this forum for the league -- email, twitter/bksy, discord, other?

PTBNL - sorry to hear this but thank you for your participation in the league over the past few years and best of luck. You have been an active and creative owner. I have posted on the Community to look for a new owner, but if any other owner knows of someone who might have interest, pls let me know.
-
Hey guys. I've really enjoyed this league, but I'm just in too many leagues and need to cut back. I'm not going to be able to play next season. I completed arbitration just in case you don't find a new owner before arb ends. Thanks and good luck catching Shohei, haha.

Also, wearing my Commish hat, I want to compliment everyone for their roster management down the stretch with all of the late auctions. Everyone has a compliant roster going into arbitration, which begins Oct. 15. Thank you all for that.
-
Thank you. Both happy & relieved. I foolishly felt pretty good with a month to go, then Ohtani stopped playing and every time I looked up, Olson or Tork or JRod or Carrol hit an HR and/or Skubal pitched 6 shutout innings with 9 Ks, and it all evaporated. I found myself picking up A's and Tigers SPs just to get enough innings. So again, I was fortunate to hold on.
-
Congrats Shohei -- every time I thought my team could make a run, you turned the jets on and did better. Well done!
-
congrats shoei! We should change league name to Challenging Shohei

Congrats to Shohei for winning our league yet again. While disappointing I couldn’t challenge him this year, it’s always fun and already looking forward to next year. Gonna have to think over some changes. I may not be tree hugging all the guys I usually do. Kris Bryant, you hear me?

Color me a little slow, but after all these years playing, I just discovered I could set game starting times to my time zone. LOL. No more having to keep adjusting in my head.

Nothing like finding out that McCutchen is out for the year two hours before the auction ends.

FYI owners- if you have a Gmail email account you have probably stopped receiving notifications from ottoneu. They are aware of the issue, and are working to address it. There is info on this in the community page.

Good luck all in the last 70 games. Hope it's a fun race to the finish!

Well, that didn’t work out so well with Doyle, did it? Literally minutes after the auction ended, I see he banged his knee against the wall. Looks like he’ll be out for a while.

That trade block thing is what happens when you put your phone in your pocket with the screen on. Ha.
