Welcome LaParka710! We're back at full force again. Arbitration ends Thursday, we have 4 teams that have not yet completed it.
-
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.
-
Welcome dubster27!
-
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.
-
Commish, please abandon my team. Thanks.... It was fun playing in this league.
-
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!
-
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.
-
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....
-
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!
-
I’m good on that. Certainly better than rescheduling
-
If new team trash can banger can do their cuts asap, can we have the auction tomorrow as originally scheduled? Tomorrow at 8?

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.
-
Let’s go!!!! Hey everyone!!!!!
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.

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

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.
-
Yes generally shut down between midnight and 8 am est
-
I assume you can, but can you set time of day parameters so that auctions end during waking hours?
-
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.

Sounds cool, thanks. I’d be up for this.
-
To further clarify you can see high bid but not what leading bidder put in as their max. So a hybrid I guess
-
Generally couch managers and it is blind bid unless someone wants their max bid shown.
-
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?
-
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.
-
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.
-
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/

Heard from a potential owner yesterday. Hopefully they will claim Tons of Runs today and we can still have our auction on Saturday.
-
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.
-
Are we still drafting Saturday if the one team is still not claimed?
-
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.
-
Three more days to complete the survey....

-
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.
-
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.
-
Sorry I;m not able to play in this league I think the commish needs to cut me, good luck with the season
-
Welcome Dave Stapleton All-Stars!
-
Arbitration ends today!!! Please complete arbitration even if you're not returning next season.
-
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!
-
Arbitration ends tomorrow
-
Arbitration ends in 2 days
-
Arbitration ends in 8 days
-
Don't forget arbitration...
-
Too many things going on in my life, got to bring down number of Ottoneu leagues, so please abandon this team.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Greetings - I just claimed the old "Bunt for a Hit" team. Looking forward to the challenge!
