Ok, great! The auction is scheduled for March 6 @9pm EST.
-
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.
-
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.
-
both days work for me

Can we get some more date/time options?

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

Either work for me.

Either day works for me.
-
I vote for Thursday, March 6. Already have an Otto draft on March 2.
-
Welcome new owner! I'll vote for Sunday

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

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

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.

What are the keeper rules?

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

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.
