Owners - my thinking/plan is that we don’t bother scheduling a draft until we know what’s going to happen with the regular season schedule. In other words, I won’t schedule yet. Let me know if there are strong objections- your humble Commissioner
-
Bombo - just to clarify, the only thing I can do is manually allow owners to cut players w/o
penalty. There is no way to systemically change the cut deadline that is set by ottoneu. We have done that for new owners who join the league after the cut deadline but I don’t want to do that for the whole league.
-
Hi all, just seeing that Niv will be keeping the Feb 15 cut deadline globally for Ottoneu. However, our commish has the ability to adjust that, if we as a league choose to. Just thought I’d toss that out there, in case there’s a strong desire to move it back with the lockout seemingly continuing.

I sent an email to all owners but want to be sure you are all aware that the keeper deadline has been pushed back 2 weeks because of the mlb lock out. You can also see this on the tools page, which has the league calendar.

Interested in 3b and OF. Please send trade offers

Santo - yes I'd probably join that if you put a league together. Haven't done SABR points either
-
Would anyone be interested in joining a new SABR league? It's the one scoring format I haven't tried and am intrigued...
-
I have a couple of SS available if anyone is looking to upgrade. Make me an offer for Lindor or Story, I can throw in a prospect to balance a deal.
-
It’s great to see all of the trade activity. For the new owners, and as a reminder, we have the trade waiting period set at 24 hours, so trades go through after that.
-
Please send trade offers for any players on my team

We have a new owner for Acuna Matata - please join me in welcoming Lance to the league, and thank you Bombo for helping to recruit a new league member.
-
Hey everyone. Thanks for letting me join, I'm looking forward to it! I've been playing Ottoneu for 5-6 years now and really enjoy it. I know it's not time yet, but I do enjoy trading and am happy to talk trades or just general baseball at any time. Looking forward to playing with you all.

Hi All - we have a new owner for Baddoo - please join me in welcoming walkerpilot to the league. We are in search of one additional owner for Acura Matata-
-
I didn’t get points from Devers because I’d used up my 3B games :-(. Nor Walsh who also had a big day.
-
I just took a look again at the final standings and the difference was only 13 points. Which makes me think that Devers 9th inning HR was the difference. My guys were done at that point.

Congrats to the winners in the most competitive season ever! I'll miss the competition but won't miss the -60 when my pitcher gives up 4 homers. If a new owner isn't found in near future, I'm happy to do the arbitration process and dole out the cash at other owners :)

Out of habit, I went to set my lineups this morning. Sigh. Another season's over. Many congrats to those at the top, great runs all. See you guys next season.
-
Hello all. I am excited to join the league. I cannot wait to get in on the action. Sounds like the league finish went down to the wire. I am a first year Ottoneu player but very seasoned fantasy player. I am in 5 other Ottoneu leagues. I was a strong second in one of the leagues this season, teo of the leagues i claimed late August.
-
Truly extraordinary finish by Shohei! Congrats to the Commish and the entire league — extremely competitive and required lots of attention that sadly I missed at times. Will greatly miss all of the departing guys and their teams — great memories!

Congrats to all the top 3 finishers, and good luck to y’all going forward. It’s been a fun ride
-
Wowza. Congrats Shohei -- what a nutty finish. Maybe even a crazier finale than real MLB!
-
And I echo your comments on Mike - who founded this league - and Dr Wu/Baddoo. Hurts to lose them.
-
Honestly can’t believe it. I thought I had a chance to catch Santo but things broke magically well for me yesterday (Houck) and today with pitching. You guys set a high bar. This league has never been so competitive.
-
Congrats to Shohei for his huge day today and winning the league! I was worried from Thursday on this might happen. When the Giants didn’t clinch last night, it was set up for today and his guys came through big time. Even if there’s a game 163 tomorrow, I have no TOR/BOS players, so couldn’t catch him. Another flag for the Commish! 18,000+ points and this close for the top three spots. Good year, guys. Congrats also to Mike and Dr. Wu, for making this league so competitive over the years

At the Rockies - Dodgers game in Coors this afternoon. Scherzer would be fine if he could get the Rockies pitcher out. $1 to get into the park for us seniors. Gotta love that.

Apparently I'm trying to make it close in the wrong way!
-
I know we've got important things to discuss like recruiting future league members, but did Aaron Civale just leave a tiny door open for Calvin or Josiah to make a 3rd place run? Pretty crazy end of league standings situation we've got going on here.
-
Hey Commish, I just checked back with my friend. He has a few more questions to ask about how our league works, so we’re going to set up a FaceTime to chat. I’ll let you know as soon as I’m able his decision. He’s done very well in his league, but Ottoneu is quite a departure from other leagues.

Hi All - With Baddoo's departure we will now need 3 new owners next season (Baddoo, Arozarena and Acuna). I can post something on the community forum, but if any of you know people who have interest, it's always preferable to find people we know. I think Bombo has someone for one team (Arozarena) though not sure that's confirmed. You can message or email me (nathanzietlow@gmail.com) with questions or leads.

As reflected in my revised team name, I will be retiring from Ottoneu at the conclusion of this season. Just don't have the endurance anymore to do daily roster tweaks for six months of a season. I think I have grown more suited to a once a week check for football. It has been fun - thanks to all the Commissioners along the way for organizing. Hopefully a new owner can take over and enjoy having Luis Robert.

how many people from this league will join a football league? i have 4 so far

If any of you want to form the league, go for it. Just let us know what the name is and we can jump in. If I had a choice of format, I’d go full point PPR, with a flex and a superflex. Love having 2 QB - makes the position as important in fantasy as in real life.
-
I’d also hop into a new football league!
-
I would join a new fantasy football league as well (my league of 15 years dissolved last year and does not look like it is coming back). I can't be much worse than my baseball team and my 15 players on the IL right now!
-
I do two leagues (love it), but they’re full up right now. I’ve found that a bunch of teams open up right after the renewal date of July 31, but get claimed super fast. Might have to try to start a new league - I’d join it.
-
is anybody doing fantasy football through ottoneu? are there open spots in your league?

Bombo- I entered a team from another league; made it into the top 32, lost in the first round of H2H playoffs. I really enjoyed it. It’s a unique game that takes a VERY different approach; but for someone who more or less had the “home league” locked up going into the season it kept me interested/engaged. However, if you don’t have a relatively strong core it’s difficult to contend and I only imagine it will be harder next year with qualification required. Happy to chat more over DM if you want.
-
So whatever tweaking and changing or improvement you make to your roster during the scoring period doesn't help you. In my case, my team improved a lot in May as I cut/added players, etc. None of that matters. On balance, I didn't think it was a great game. There is little you can do to improve your team's standing. Completely disconnected from the normal ottoneu game.
-
Bombo - yes I participated in OPL and was 102 at the end of round 2 so was eliminated (only top 100 advanced). It's extremely passive. At each round your roster is fixed as of the beginning date of that round (e.g. for round 2 it was fixed at May 1). Then the system uses an algorithm to give you maximum points for each day, based on the maximum points from players on that roster (e.g. the May 1 roster). You don't do anything - e.g. don't set daily line ups. The system does it all (1/2)
-
Just curious, for anyone that joined the OPL this year, are you still in the running? What did you think of it? If I qualify, I’d like to give it a shot next year.

The Cubs should simply cease (as in end, not Dylan) baseball operations. Total embarrassment to the game of baseball so much so that now the Mighty Marlins are the newest team making a mockery of them.

One of the Twins top prospects is on their AAA Saint Paul Saints team by the name of Jose Miranda. And yes, his cousin is Lin-Manuel Miranda, of Hamilton fame. So it was appropriate that the Saints starting pitcher yesterday was a guy named Hamilton.

All of a sudden, all of my league notifications are going directly to my junk email box. Auction completions, message board postings, etc. Has anyone else had this happen? I didn’t put a block on these or change any settings. I have a note asking about this on the community page.
