League Message Board

Yup, exactly. Usually, it lasts about a week or so. We all start with 3 nominations, so the beginning of the draft there's like 30 something guys on the board to bid on!
-
so it just runs over multiple days, or whatever? I'm fine with that as well.
-
I'm for a slow draft again! It's the best way that everyone can get in on the action without the headache of having to find a time/day that works with everyone's schedule and time zones.
-
Are we interested in doing a slow draft this year?
-
Do we have any idea regarding auction date? I know the first games of the season are pretty early this year (March 18), so wasn't sure if I've missed some discussion about it.
-
Good afternoon, everyone! I took over Tokyo Toadfish, will probably be changing the name here shortly. Roster is about 80 over cap limit, so I'm willing to move just about anyone if it makes sense. I know the 31st is keeper deadline, so we'll see how this goes.
-
Agreed, Chief! Definitely hoping to keeping the band all together! We got a good group of baseball guys and I think everyone is excited to compete again in '25.
Hopefully, we can get some solid additions to the league and keep this ball rollin'!
-
That was the (maybe more) that I was referring to in my last message. He hadn’t been active since last July so I was pretty sure he wasn’t going to renew. Hopefully, the managers we have on board right now are in for the next season.
-
I have just heard from Tokyo Toadfish. He will not be continuing, so that is one more team that will be abandonned.
-
Got a message from Reese saying he might have overextended and wants me to abandon his team. We will be looking for two managers (maybe more when the renewal deadline hits at the end of the month). If you know anyone who might be interested, let me know.
-
Please welcome the new owner of Reese Harper. I have played with him in other Ottoneu leagues, and the team will not be in last place next year.
-
Oh shit, sorry, I was waiting and had the page open and forgot the deadline was last night! I've been a bit distracted--two kittens recently adopted. Quite the excuse, I know, lol.

Toadfish haven’t been active since July. The Tornadoes are waiting until the last minute, I hope.
-
not as big a deal as in the standard arb system, but probably a signal of teams that need owners
-
besides Harper there's 3 other teams not voted
-
I don’t see any reason not to abandon Harper. Probably best to try to get another owner on board as soon as possible. I’ll mark him abandoned tonight.
-
Big Papi has been abandoned. Any objections to Reese Harper also being abandoned?
-
Hi Commish, wanted to say it's been a pleasure playing with all of you this season. Got way too many leagues and cannot maintain the rythm (time consuming and $$$). So I won't be renewing many of my leagues like this one, got some talent to attract new owner for next year so you should be able to quickly fill vacancy. have a good arb and a great future season! Thanks Commish for great work

I think we could give everyone the weekend if any other owners had someone in mind. If nothing by Monday morning then I say we abandon and hopefully get a new owner in time for arbitration voting.
-
The owner of Reese Harper reached out to me to say that he can’t continue with the league. Does anyone know someone who would be interested in taking over the team? Or should we just abandon the team?
-
Congrats Taters! A dominating victory. I did everything I could to catch you but you ran away and never looked back.
Appreciate everyone who continued to play the season out and stay active. I think we have a pretty decent league and I look forward to next season.
-
Thanks Chris, I appreciate the kind words! Hard work really does pay off! It took some years to really rebuild, but it was well worth it and fun even the years I was down!
It was a great pleasure competing with everyone! Look forward to competing with all you Generals next year!
-
Congratulations MT&B. The hard work paid off. I’m happy for you.
-
I’m blowing this team up. All offers will be considered.
-
RAJ is available for trade.

yeah, I think we certainly got a little over-excited LOL.. That said, I just think Houston will need him going forward, since JV and Lance McC aren't exactly made of steel and their young guys could stumble.. and if Ronel comes back down to earth hard, he's 10 bucks for a rainy day
-
$20 Ronel Blanco??? We have to be the max on him

Yes, vote off players could be bid on by anyone.
-
OK thanks, didn't remember he was the voted off guy. Question - were we allowed to bid on the voted off players during CM process? I guess so if three teams got their cut off guys

Because Bellinger was the vote off player from your team. When I went to finish the draft, the vote off players reverted to their teams from last year, so I had to manually move them to the teams that won them in the couchmanagers auction. In three cases, that was the same team. However, that was not the case with Bellinger. So he was cut from your team and placed on the team that won him in the couchmanagers auction, which was my team for $30.
-
Can I know why Bellinger was cut from my roster by Commish?

Okay, sorry about that. We should be good to go now. I've learned quite a few things about slow drafts and vote off leagues. I've double checked numbers and overall salaries. They match between here and couchmanagers. Please check your rosters to be sure nothing really wonky has happened. But I think you are free to start auctions, make trades, cut players etc. Thank you all for your patience in this.
-
Don't make any trades or auctions for the moment. The vote off players have reacted unpredictably, and I have to do some more fixing.
-
I believe we are finished the draft. Chief, either you can temporarily make me a co-commissioner or I can walk you through the procedure for importing the results back to Ottoneu.
-
Thanks for handling that

Temporarily deleting the player from the team I meant to say.
-
It will involve temporarily deleting the player and manually awarding the player at a salary 5 dollars less.
-
I have a list. I will apply the discount as soon as I can.
-
Was a list created of the player that was voted off for each team so if they are resigned the $5 discount can be entered or is it on the honor system?

The slow draft at couchmanagers is live. Have fun.
-
It will take awhile but multiple players are nominated at one time. Some players could take a few days if people keep making late bids as it resets timer to 8 hours I think when that happens but we will finish in a week or so

There are 30 plus nominations going at once. Once a player auction time drops below 12 hours, the auction only resets to 8 hours. As we get farther along in the draft, the auction time will drop. I've never seen one of these drafts go beyond two weeks.
-
That works for me. I’ll post my question over here as well, but my reading of the settings are that each nomination will be 12 hours. If so, I don’t think we are getting through this draft before the season starts

Okay, I've imported Big Papi's team into the draft room. We can start any time. Currently the couchmanagers site is running very slowly and there's a banner at the top of it saying "Working on improving site performance". I have to step out for the afternoon in an hour. How about we start at 10 AM EST tomorrow?
-
yes I am DelTropo!
-
Sorry guys if I slowed down the slow draft, was in and out of doctor the last two days, I joined a couple of minutes ago

I believe you are correct. I messaged Papi to see whats up. I'm hoping we can get the draft started by tomorrow and have the weekend to get things really rolling. Big thanks to Blues for putting this together and to the rest of the league for coming to a decision and hopefully making this draft happen.
-
Process of elimination says deltropo is Saigon. If that's true, we're just waiting on Big Papi.
