Hi leaguefolk, I just cut the wrong Ezequiel by mistake. Have asked the commish if he can fix.

You cornered the market on them. The Ezeqiuel stack is well known in the dfs community
-
Go Clay Pigeons! The only team with two Ezeqiuels.

That worked! For those who run into same issue on Chrome, Safari works fine and incognito mode worked on Chrome. I'm using Safari just in case it craps out on Chrome at some point mid draft
-
If you’re on Chrome and the auction page won’t open, see https://community.ottoneu.com/t/baseball-draft-room-giving-error-communicating-with-server-message/14074 or just use Safari.

Anyone else try to get in to the auction draft? Tried getting in and it says "error communicating with the server"

Team B runs into cap trouble, so he cuts Hoskins. Now Team B has an $8 penalty (50% of $15 rounded up). Hoskins goes to waivers, Team C has the space and thinks Hoskins is a good deal so he claims him. Now Team B doesn't have a cap penalty, and Team C takes over Hoskins at $15.
-
Practical Example- Rhy Hoskins is $26. One week before the season he tears his knee and will be OFS. Team A cuts him and gets a $13 cap penalty, but now has $13 free. He clears waivers, so Team A still has that $13 penalty. Team B sees a $13 Hoskins as a good price for next season, so he starts an auction and wins it with a bid of $15. Team A no longer has a cap penalty- now he has $13 more in cap space freed up.
-
If no one picks the player up or starts a new auction for that player, the cutting team still has that cap hit. They are unable to start an auction for that player, or bid in an existing auction for that player, for 30 days.
-
Once that auction is done, the original cutting team no longer has that salary cap hit.
-
After the draft, if you cut a player you get a salary cap hit of 50% rounded up; i.e. you cut a $4 player he counts $2 against the cap, a $5 player is a $3 cap hit. If another player picks him up via waivers, the new team takes on the whole salary (so $4 or $5) and the team that cut him doesn't get a cap hit. If that player passes waivers after 24hrs, any team besides the one that cut the player can start an auction and bid on the player (that player's minimum salary is the 50%).
-
I read the rules but don't really get the post-draft process about cutting guys. Sounds like you get half the salary back but then there's a way to get the rest back that is related to some waiver pickup process? Could someone explain? Thanks, the pigeons

In the calendar- works for me!

Works for me! Sweet!

Mar 2nd. 7pm EST. Please let me know if this does not work.
-
My travel plans have changed so I am available March 1, 2, 3. Still not available on the 4th. Sorry, the plans just changed last night.

I’m going to be in Japan the 5th-20th
-
Are we running into issues drafting later than March 5? I can make March 3rd work if needed, but Bobby is still going to be out- not sure if there is a better chance for him to hop on a Sunday evening? Otherwise we're going to have to have a proxy

Sheet with availability - sorry I have not had too much time to try and figure out a solution. Friday March 1st, only Bobby Cox has marked down a no but seems probably a vaca of sorts since next 4 days are unavailable as well
-
Just a friendly check-in about the auction draft. Any chance we can get the short list of dates that are up for contention?
-
I now have drafts on March 1,2, 4, 10 and 16. Fyi

Let’s draft soon. There’s nothing magic about March. Injuries can happen at any time. Thanks

Draft dates are looking bleak - i am still waiting to hear back from two teams, but so far there is only two dates that only 1 person has a problem with, with the rest of the dates having multiple.
-
Have we settled on a draft date yet or narrowed down some dates from the sheet?
-
Deal, so long as you wear black bucks, no socks.
-
Maybe i should have to go eat at kokomos steak and seafood and then shit my pants in the lobby of the Bellagio just like George Brett did.
-
Welcome to the league, Bobby's Cox! It's okay. We all screw up at some point along the way :-)
-
Wow, you guys are rough! As a newbee to fantasy baseball and this league, I vow to not screw up in any way.

No problem with this but I think he needs to deliver his cuts via a music video whereby he sings The Beach Boys' "Kokomo" while images of all the players he's cutting stream on a screen behind him. I would settle for a vocal solo of the song of the images of the streaming players too, if need be.
-
I have no problem with removing them without penalty

The Pirates just signed a dude named “Iverson Allen.” That could be some good juju @kokomo
-
What about Keon Wong?!?
-
Real ones remember when I accidentally drafted Vlad Sr in 2017...
-
I think he should be forced to draft someone with a funny name for $5
-
League - Kokomo messaged me immediately after deadline with his list of cuts. I am going to remove them without penalty. Not wanting to make a habit out of making exceptions, and if there is enough backlash I am open to suggestions on a resolution.

March 20th is the start of the season. Will be aiming to draft in the ~two weeks or so leading up to that. Please let me know if you have any commitments.
-
Glad to have 12! Jan 31 is roster deadline, all cuts and trades must be in by then, rosters lock until the draft from there. Will start coordinate draft times (please let me know if any date or set of dates does not work for you).
Draft Tip: draft software is not the best, building up your Watchlist over the next few weeks will make your life easier on draft day
-
Heckuva entrance, Eels! Welcome to the league! Hope you enjoy the 4x4 structure. Took me a little getting used to but it's pretty cool!
-
Hey everyone. Hope I didn’t spoil any plans. I’ve been playing Ottoneu for about 4 years and thought I’d try this format.

I have a guy who says he’s going to do it today. We’ll see. After that I’m out of ideas.

Any suggestions on a final member?

Hi All, I am sad to report my fourth potential team owner has changed his mind. So we need a #12 again....

Welcome! So keeper deadline is Jan 31st. Any player cut after 1/31 (including thru the season) will give you a cap penalty for 50% (rounding up) of their salary - until that player is on another team's roster. 1/31 is also the trade deadline, effectively locking rosters from that point until the draft.
