From the rules: If the regular season has not begun yet, a coin flip will determine who is awarded the player
-
Before the season begins, it's a coin flip

How does waivers work prior to the season? I was really hoping for someone that I did not get, but I was curious how it goes with no standings.

Hey everyone, happy draft day to all. Looking forward to "seeing" you at 7 p.m. Central TONIGHT.
-
Ah, so sorry, that is a hassle. I hope it works! Fingers crossed that the bids will find their way down to the ground.
-
I'll be drafting on a plane so here's hoping the wifi works!
-
I set the draft date for the evening of March 15. Please mark your calendars, and look forward to seeing you there.
-
Any maybes marked for me are dependent on time. As I live out west, too early doesn't work, but anything post 7pm ET works.

Totally hear those of you that prefer to draft in one shot. Since I’m a little strapped for time anyway, let’s go that route again this year.
For next year, though, we should keep the slow-draft option on the table.
OK, hope we can find a date that works for most, if not all. Please make your selections as soon as you can. Thanks!
-
I too would rather just have an auction in one go.

I agree personally. I prefer to knock it out in the typical 3-4 hour window it usually takes
-
I'd rather stick with the current system.
-
I think in the league I commish, there were three players I had to auto link to their team after the draft.
-
There isn't really a lot to learn - although there may be videos out there. It's fairly user friendly and intuitive. Almost every player will easily auto import and export. I had trouble with a couple of guys who didn't have FangraphsIDs last year (mostly Japanese guys coming over). The export from Ottoneu imports directly into CM and vice versa after the draft. All done through CSV files.
-
Hey all, thanks for the reccos. I’m trying to read up on Couch Manager. I hate this because it’s a good idea that will involve more work for me, LOL. But I’m encouraged to see you can important results into Ottoneu.
If any of you who have used it before know of a good YouTube vid that shows how it works in practice, please drop a link on the board. Thanks. Decision to come as I look things over in more detail.
-
I'm down with slow draft.
-
I agree with thunder, slow draft would be my vote
-
Couchmanagers.com is such a better way to draft imo. I think everyone I've talked to is always happier with their teams post draft and it goes way faster than you'd think and doesn't require constant attention due to the clock settings.
-
My two couch manager drafts last year took exactly 7 days for already established leagues with several keepers, such as this.
-
Couchmanager drafts are rad. I'd be down for that.

I am open any time except for my two auctions already scheduled and would likely be fine with a slow draft. That said, my work systems are pretty locked down, and I generally can't open my personal spreadsheets at work. I might not be able to bid at all from 6:00 am to 3:00 pm Pacific on weekdays.

In an established league like this, a slow draft might take a couple of weeks if everyone is active. Another league I'm in starts with 1 nomination per team, then goes to 2 after a week to speed things up. I'm totally open for draft date, and would be just fine using couchmangers for a slow draft.

Has anyone done a slow auction? Could we finish by the opener?

If we end up struggling to find a date, I commish another league that uses Couchmanager for a slow draft. As I'm already paying to be able to set up custom auctions on there, I will happily set up this league for a slow draft in late Feb, early March if that's what needs to happen.
-
Yeah, I wouldn't be available that entire weekend (3/6-3/9), and I coach my kid's basketball team on Friday nights, 7:30-8:30. Should be available otherwise.
-
Prefer a March Draft, not 3-6 or 3-9
-
As we enter my third season in this league, I gotta admit, I still don't know how some of y'all do it. Here I cut like 15 or 16 players and am not satisfied with the amount of money I have to replace them. Then I look at some of these top rosters and I teams with several insanely high salaried players and more money than me and less free agents needed. One of these years I'll figure it out! Also, here's to hoping Jazz has his actual breakout year playing second base for the Yankees this year!!

Hey, all. The roster cut and team renewal deadline is one week away (Jan. 31). Make sure you make your cuts and renew your team for 2025-26 (I just renewed mine). Then we can move forward and set a draft date. Thanks for the earlier PSA, Chauncey GF. Hope to see you all in the league this coming season.
-
Reminder that teams are due for renewal, and keepers are due by next Friday (Jan 31).

Hey all, I saw we have a new owner, so welcome, Aquasox. Separately, the Stuff is Electric let me know they won’t be able to return next season, so we just have that one spot to fill, as far as I know. Thanks to everyone for allocating in arbitration — even the ones who made Mookie so expensive for me.
-
Awesome, welcome!
-
Hello all. I just took on Papi's old team. Sorry, but there will be another $25 of arby thrown around tonight...

Reminder: Arbitration ends tomorrow. Spread the word that teams are available if you know anyone who’s interested. Thanks.
-
Hey owners, a quick offseason note: arbitration ends Nov. 14, so please get those selections in by next week if you haven’t. I also have marked two teams abandoned. Feel free to reach out to anyone you know who might want to claim those teams.
-
Thanks Big Papi and we’re sorry to be losing you. You definitely stocked up the roster for the next owner.
-
Hi Commish and owners, congrats to the winners, 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 know we’re not quite done yet, but congrats to Glenallen Hill Society for a dominant season! Appreciate you all, and hoping we get a good owner to fill in for Big Market. Thanks everyone! Good luck to any Mets, Braves and Dbacks fans tomorrow.
-
Hey y'all, probably not a huge surprise if you've been paying attention but I have to abandon my team and the other Ottoneu teams I have. A sudden and drastic life change has left me unable to give my teams the attention that they deserve to contribute to the competitive spirit of the leagues. Hope you all can find a great replacement!
-
If anyone is into fantasy hockey - I run a league that has 3 spots open. It's a dynasty league that mimics Ottoneu as much as possible ($400 - big rosters - etc). Let me know if interested. Auction next Sunday. It's going into year 2 and all the teams that are open have great keeper options.
-
I can safely say I’ve never seen a hitter put up 65 fantasy points in one night. Until today.
-
Looking for a really good OF. Willing to pay SP or futures. Can be a keeper potential or an overpriced non-keeper if covering some cost.
-
Have lots of MI. Looking for OF
-
I think Dominguez came off the 60 day

Alright gents, been busy the last few weeks with some personal family stuff. Sorry for the inattention to trade offers. But I'm in the clear now and have a bit more time. The sell is on! Despite my brutal place in the standings, I actually have some useful players that I'm gonna sell for the right offer. Not really looking for prospects (but am open to top-top prospects) but rather cheaper big league contributors, the younger the better. Send me your best offer for players on my trading block!

Ohhhh doi. Thanks!!

Spiff, it looks like you had Munoz in an SP spot yesterday. His points will only count if you start him in an RP slot since that’s his current role.
