• 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!

  Kuhl Krushers 2.0 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!

• 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!

  Available Team on March 1, 2024 6:30 PM

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

  Matt Stairs 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

  Matt Stairs 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.

  Kuhl Krushers 2.0 on February 29, 2024 12:01 PM

• Yes generally shut down between midnight and 8 am est

  Matt Stairs on February 29, 2024 11:23 AM

• I assume you can, but can you set time of day parameters so that auctions end during waking hours?

  Bevacqua's Limo Driver on February 29, 2024 10:50 AM

• When owners complained our slow auction was too slow, we reduced the nomination clock from 12 hours to 8 hours and the max bid clock from 8 hours to 6 hours. This can be done at any time after auction starts.

  LIMA.STS on February 29, 2024 10:48 AM

• Sounds cool, thanks. I’d be up for this.

  Bevacqua's Limo Driver on February 29, 2024 10:47 AM

• To further clarify you can see high bid but not what leading bidder put in as their max. So a hybrid I guess

  Matt Stairs on February 29, 2024 10:44 AM

• Generally couch managers and it is blind bid unless someone wants their max bid shown.

  Matt Stairs on February 29, 2024 10:43 AM

• I’m interested in a slow auction. What platform has been used in the past? And is it a blind auction (like Otto free agency) or is the highest bid always visible?

  Bevacqua's Limo Driver on February 29, 2024 10:36 AM

• Thanks Lima. I like the idea of a slow auction as an option. Let's wait to see if we get that new owner by tomorrow, if so we'll still have the auction Saturday night.

  Sidd Finch All-Stars on February 29, 2024 10:32 AM

• I have to disagree. I’ve done three this year and they are so painfully slow it made me want to give up. I think it works if you need a few players but not if you need more than four or five. Never again for me.

  Matt Stairs on February 29, 2024 10:31 AM

• If we can't have our auction Saturday. we should definitely consider a slow auction. I just did a slow Ottoneu auction and it was great. Perfect for leagues like ours that aren't startups. ://fantasy.fangraphs.com/thinking-about-auctions-fast-and-slow-logistics-and-details/

  LIMA.STS on February 29, 2024 10:07 AM

• Heard from a potential owner yesterday. Hopefully they will claim Tons of Runs today and we can still have our auction on Saturday.

  Sidd Finch All-Stars on February 29, 2024 8:49 AM

• I really hate to move the auction date since finding another date will be a challenge, but also don't think we can have one with an unclaimed team and players that would be added to the free agent pool. Everyone do what you can to find another owner. If we don't have one by Friday at 5PM, we will postpone the auction.

  Sidd Finch All-Stars on February 28, 2024 9:14 AM

• Are we still drafting Saturday if the one team is still not claimed?

  Matt Stairs on February 28, 2024 9:00 AM

• Auction will be held Saturday March 2, 2024 at 8:00 EST. No date was unanimous in the survey, this date was available for all but one.

  Sidd Finch All-Stars on February 10, 2024 5:22 PM

• Three more days to complete the survey....

  Sidd Finch All-Stars on February 7, 2024 8:10 AM

• https://forms.gle/6BCugd4x7pm8TVdw9

  Sidd Finch All-Stars on February 3, 2024 5:34 PM

• Please complete the form to give your input regarding the date/time of the auction. I'll do my best to accommodate everyone but that may be impossible.

  Sidd Finch All-Stars on February 3, 2024 5:34 PM

• Reminder: Cuts are due by end of day tomorrow (1/31). Three owners still need to renew for the year. We'll look at draft dates soon.

  Sidd Finch All-Stars on January 30, 2024 8:41 AM

• Sorry I;m not able to play in this league I think the commish needs to cut me, good luck with the season

  Trash Can Banger on January 29, 2024 8:05 PM

• Welcome Dave Stapleton All-Stars!

  Sidd Finch All-Stars on November 14, 2023 12:18 PM

• Arbitration ends today!!! Please complete arbitration even if you're not returning next season.

  Sidd Finch All-Stars on November 14, 2023 12:18 PM

• Happy to take over for the team formerly known as "Wham Bam Goodbye Sam." First time playing Ottoneu. Looking to be active and make the team my own!

  Sidd Finch All-Stars on October 25, 2023 8:18 AM

• Too many things going on in my life, got to bring down number of Ottoneu leagues, so please abandon this team.

  Available Team on October 12, 2023 1:08 PM

• I removed everyone’s commissioner privileges because I think it is dangerous to have 11 commissioners and not know who is making updates to the league. This wasn’t a coup. I’m willing to hand the reins over if someone is interested.

  Sidd Finch All-Stars on October 4, 2023 7:39 AM

• Welcome Pine Tar Rags!
  
  Too bad Bunt for a Hit didn’t stick around to see the SSN requirement has been removed. I see he made us all commissioners. I’m willing to take the role unless someone else really wants it.

  Sidd Finch All-Stars on October 4, 2023 7:22 AM

• Greetings - I just claimed the old "Bunt for a Hit" team. Looking forward to the challenge!

  Pine Tar Rags on September 26, 2023 3:11 PM

• I will not be part of Ottonue next season. I don’t agree with the new payment format (required to submit your SSN for a non prize money League). So if some one wants to assume the Commissioner of the league I will transfer the duties before the current season ends to assure a smooth transition. I would like to thank you all for your participation and good luck to all.

  Pine Tar Rags on September 18, 2023 3:17 PM

• I just want to wish everyone luck this season. (because we all know luck plays a significant part). Let’s have some fun, I think the no shift and the “clock”, will add a new dimension to the game. Now, let the auctions and the trades begin.

  Pine Tar Rags on February 26, 2023 11:01 PM

• Auction Draft tomorrow evening at 8:00 PM EST

  Pine Tar Rags on February 25, 2023 7:29 AM

• Everyone, please join me in welcoming Doppleganger to the league.
  The auction draft will be held on Sunday, February 26th @ 8:00 PM EST.

  Pine Tar Rags on February 20, 2023 5:23 AM

• Well, we are down one manager. If we don’t have a full compliment of managers by Saturday morning, I will put the draft off for one week.
