• Welcome Dirt Bags! Hope you enjoy.

  Sidd Finch All-Stars on May 15, 2025 7:17 AM

• Welcome Dirt Bags! Reach out if you have questions - it's a fun format!

  Pine Tar Rags on May 13, 2025 10:42 PM

• Hello everyone! Looong time fantasy player, but 1st time at Ottoneu. I'll get this team active and can learn more about the format as I go. Thanks for the opening!

  The Dirt Bags on May 13, 2025 4:14 PM

• I abandoned the ownership of Bullpen Beers. The team is open if you know anyone who might be interested in claiming it.

  Sidd Finch All-Stars on May 13, 2025 2:50 PM

• Yeah, I reached out to the owner a couple weeks ago and did not get a response. I guess I'll mark the team abandoned, maybe someone will claim them and try to build something for the future.

  Sidd Finch All-Stars on May 4, 2025 5:08 PM

• Their lineup is completely blank… looks like abandonment 🤷🏼‍♂️

  Pine Tar Rags on May 2, 2025 2:00 PM

• Bullpen Beers has 0 points? I mean I guess I shouldn't complain. Might be the only thing keeping me out of last lol. Just wanted to mention it.

  Sheboygan Chairmakers on May 2, 2025 12:20 PM

• Ok, great! The auction is scheduled for March 6 @9pm EST.

  Sidd Finch All-Stars on February 18, 2025 8:51 AM

• I've had 2 owners tell me they already have drafts on March 2, so let's try this: March 6, 9pm EST. If you absolutely cannot make it that day, let me know and we'll look at additional dates.

  Sidd Finch All-Stars on February 12, 2025 11:12 AM

• Hi all, forgot to say hello the other day when I picked up this team. Look forward to being a part of the league. I can make either day work but prefer March 6. Will make my cuts today.

  Sheboygan Chairmakers on February 12, 2025 9:36 AM

• both days work for me

  LIMA.STS on February 11, 2025 6:15 PM

• Can we get some more date/time options?

  Bevacqua's Limo Driver on February 10, 2025 6:13 PM

• Thank you for the welcomes! My vote is for Sunday.

  The Dirt Bags on February 9, 2025 2:41 PM

• Either work for me.

  Dirty Mike & the Boys on February 9, 2025 12:57 AM

• Either day works for me.

  Look Into My Eye on February 8, 2025 11:43 PM

• I vote for Thursday, March 6. Already have an Otto draft on March 2.

  Bevacqua's Limo Driver on February 8, 2025 6:47 PM

• Welcome new owner! I'll vote for Sunday

  Pine Tar Rags on February 8, 2025 6:28 PM

• Welcome to our new Bullpen Beers owner - we have a full league. Not much chatter on the auction time/dates I put out there, so let's have a vote Sunday, March 2 @ 9PM EST or Thursday, March 6 @ 9PM EST. You can vote for both, one, or neither, if you don't vote I am assuming both work for you.

  Sidd Finch All-Stars on February 8, 2025 10:18 AM

• Ok, Bullpen Beers joined 3 weeks ago and then decided not to renew - so we have one opening.
  
  Thinking about the first week of March for the auction, 9:00 EST? Let me know your thoughts on which days work, don’t work, etc and if the time is acceptable. I know it might be late for us on the east coast, but starting earlier makes it difficult for those on the west coast.

  Sidd Finch All-Stars on February 6, 2025 2:30 PM

• Welcome Otto Seventeen!

  Sidd Finch All-Stars on February 2, 2025 7:39 AM

• OK, we have 3 teams that have not renewed yet, and apparently 1 team was abandoned due to my inactivity. My apologies there, but I will definitely be active as we move forward. If you aren't planning to renew, please let me know ASAP so we can get new owners in line and start planning for a draft.

  Sidd Finch All-Stars on February 1, 2025 4:57 PM

• We told the Commish we're not going to renew. It was nice playing with you and good luck in your future endeavors!

  Otto Seventeen on February 1, 2025 12:01 AM

• Just a friendly reminder that tomorrow at midnight is the keeper deadline - also don't forget to renew your team.

  Sidd Finch All-Stars on January 30, 2025 9:14 AM

• I can't speak for the other manager's since I'm new to this one. I didn't review previous year transactions, but you can check to see how active the existing managers were on the trade front historically. In this league's case, it's league #220 and been around since 2012. I don't think it'll have any issues continuing. Whether or not you see more trade activity is beyond me. I'm in very active leagues and been in very slow ones. A lot of guys check out during Football/Basketball before coming bk

  Dirty Mike & the Boys on January 27, 2025 1:14 PM

• We're certainly not looking to stir anything up, but wanted to ask this before we possibly renew for next season. Is this league definitely going to continue as the Commish has been not logged in for awhile and we have trade offers out there for weeks now? 100% not a shot at any team/owner as we have had no issues with anyone here, but just want to know before we can commit for the season. Thanks!

  Otto Seventeen on January 27, 2025 11:36 AM

• You can keep as many as you want as long as you don't go over 40 players and/or $400. However, if you keep less than 40, you must have a $1 for each spot. For example, if you keep 35 players, you can't have $397 in salary.

  Otto Seventeen on January 11, 2025 9:37 PM

• What are the keeper rules?

  The Dirt Bags on January 11, 2025 9:01 PM

• Hello, welcome to the league! We (there's two of us on this team) wish you the best of luck on your Ottoneu journey!

  Otto Seventeen on January 11, 2025 7:53 PM

• Hello everyone! Just claim a team and this is my first time on Ottoneu. I am a quick learner and excited to try it out!

  The Dirt Bags on January 11, 2025 7:33 PM

• Welcome LaParka710! We're back at full force again. Arbitration ends Thursday, we have 4 teams that have not yet completed it.

  Sidd Finch All-Stars on November 12, 2024 10:35 AM

• Hello all, I just claimed the Available Team. Happy to be here! I may change some arbitration before the deadline and may also bring on a co-owner. Good luck to everyone in the offseason and can't wait to talk trades with some of you.

  Otto Seventeen on November 11, 2024 4:05 PM

• Welcome dubster27!

  Sidd Finch All-Stars on November 5, 2024 10:25 AM

• Welcome to Dirty Mike & the Boys! We have two open teams now. Both completed arbitration before they left. There are still four teams that have not done arbitration yet - deadline is coming up next week.

  Sidd Finch All-Stars on November 5, 2024 7:40 AM

• Commish, please abandon my team. Thanks.... It was fun playing in this league.

  Look Into My Eye on October 22, 2024 5:19 PM

• Thanks, it was a fun season. I'll do arbitration but will most likely bow out for someone else to take over this team. Did the rebuild thing and I kinda liked it. Enjoy the MLB playoffs!

  Look Into My Eye on October 1, 2024 2:23 PM

• Congratulations Kuhl Krushers! Well deserved. Sorry to see you go Dave Stapleton All-Stars - you made a nice run. If anybody else knows they are not going to be back, please let us know sooner than later - I understand that you may not make a decision about it until later. Don't forget arbitration is coming shortly - I hope everyone can at least stay and do that part.

  Sidd Finch All-Stars on October 1, 2024 8:07 AM

• Congratulations Kuhl Krushers, what a spectacular season. I will not be back next season. I'm trying to cut down on Ottoneu teams for next season. Thanks everyone for a great season, and good luck to you all!

  Otto Seventeen on September 30, 2024 8:21 PM

• Welcome Trash Can Banger! Ok, sounds like we can still draft tonight if everyone is on board. Anyone change plans and NOT able to make it after I canceled it yesterday morning? Would really love for it to happen because rescheduling is going to be difficult and the slow draft doesn't have full support....

  Sidd Finch All-Stars on March 2, 2024 8:37 AM

• Welcome Trash Can Banger! I am 100% on to draft tomorrow. I am out of town March 8–16 and would really love to draft tomorrow!

  Otto Seventeen on March 1, 2024 6:30 PM

• I’m good on that. Certainly better than rescheduling

  Dirty Mike & the Boys on March 1, 2024 5:58 PM

• If new team trash can banger can do their cuts asap, can we have the auction tomorrow as originally scheduled? Tomorrow at 8?

  LIMA.STS on March 1, 2024 5:26 PM

• I’ll make my cuts tonight. FYI….. I’m on west coast time. I could be ready for draft Saturday if that’s still on the table.

  Trash Can Banger on March 1, 2024 5:24 PM

• Let’s go!!!! Hey everyone!!!!!

  Trash Can Banger on March 1, 2024 5:11 PM

• Another wrinkle that could complicate a slow auction are the two games in Korea on March 20-21. It’s just two games, but it’s technically the start of the regular season.

  Bevacqua's Limo Driver on March 1, 2024 11:09 AM

• Never heard back from the potential owner and we've reached the point where we need to make a decision about the auction. There was quite a bit of chatter yesterday about a slow auction, both pro and con. We can't really move forward until we have the last team in place. So, postponing the auction, it will not happen Saturday, March 2. If we can find another date that works for the vast majority of owners we will have a normal auction then. If not, we may need to look at the slow auction.

  Sidd Finch All-Stars on March 1, 2024 8:59 AM

• FYI the couch manager mobile app is infinitely better than the desktop. The mobile app is easy to navigate with buttons at the bottom of the main page. The desktop version is not user friendly.

  LIMA.STS on February 29, 2024 7:17 PM

• Unfortunately some people do not have access to fantasy sites while working and if they ante off line for 8 or 12 hours they will lose out. So much easier to set aside two hours one day than checking every few hours for five days. If we were going in that direction I would not have renewed

  Dirty Mike & the Boys on February 29, 2024 2:26 PM

• I would greatly appreciate having a slow-auction. I like this idea a lot!

  Pine Tar Rags on February 29, 2024 2:22 PM

• I cannot do a slow auction draft during a weekday. I would think others, like myself, have a job. Interesting idea, so maybe this can be a discussion point for next year.

  Look Into My Eye on February 29, 2024 12:01 PM

• Yes generally shut down between midnight and 8 am est
