Last year we used a service called couch managers. In a nutshell, everyone nominates 3 players at a time (so 36 people going at once), and each player has a 12 hour time limit. Each time someone is outbid the timer resets to 12 hours. Once one of the players you nominated is drafted, you can nominate another player.
It’s a pretty great service and I think contributed to the competitiveness of this league last year.
-
How would a slow draft work? Basically a blind bid on the player?
-
Love the slow draft option, especially for a league like ours where we have 5 time zones.
-
Welcome to the new joiners to the league! Looking forward to a great season. Just a reminder to everyone to please note your availability in the Doodle poll regarding a draft date/time. If we cannot reach a consensus we will do a slow draft like we did last year. https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/b28WnxNe

Hope to run into you all again. It was a great ride while it lasted.

Sorry to see y'all go. Cheers.

I’m out too. Y’all have fun

A sad day, an original owner and 3x champion leaving! Great playing with you through the years and best of luck to you in the future.
-
Oh no Tejas, another long time manager leaving! You will be missed, good luck to you in baseball and life. Cheers!
-
Sorry to announce so late but I’m going to say goodbye to the Strangers. Tough managing a team at this time but you may see me again. Thanks for running a great league for the past decade Coco!

Leaguemates - thinking ahead to draft day. I have put together a poll (next post) regarding availability. As in the past, I am limiting the times to Friday night, Saturday afternoon, and Saturday night so as to accommodate Australian hours. To the extent that we cannot find a time from the existing options, we can just do couchmanagers like we did last year (for new league members I can explain if you have never done a slow draft before). Please share availability ASAP so we can schedule. Thx!

Good call Felix. I feel like last year we established a precedent that we should stick with. So - if you are late with cuts (Jan 31 deadline!) - you either can’t draft or have a player voted off of your team as a penalty. Hopefully doesn’t happen this year!
-
Talking pre-emoting prior issues, do we have a league position commish on cuts being on on time for this season

I can see why it’s too late—appreciate Webb gems bringing it up though. Hopefully we can get everyone to compete it going forward or at least get a fill in for them. It did leave us a little behind the 8 ball starting out.

Yeah, when we have allowed late arbitration in the past it was like 1 day after the deadline. I think too much time has elapsed and owners have made roster decisions based on the existing salaries. As A Fraud said it is just an unfortunate consequence.
-
Like the top comment says from that link, when trades have already happened, rosters have been trimmed, not really a good time for something like this.. just an unfortunate part of an owner not staying in ottoneu world

Looks like I'm not the only owner that impacts either. Looks like the same happened to Nimmo.
-
Saw this over on the community page so thought it would at least be worth an ask. Any chance we could still do arbitration even though it's closed since the prior manager didnt? https://community.ottoneu.com/t/allowing-a-new-manger-to-arb-after-arb-is-closed/12404/2

No catch! You’re taking over for a back-to-back champion and a competitive team owner who none of us are sad to see to go

I'm waiting for the catch, but can't believe a team this good came open. I'll try to review more in depth the next couple weeks. I've updated my trade block some, but will be trying to work some deals very soon. Open for business.
-
Welcome new owners, thanks hour joining! Having been in this league for a while now I can tell you it's one of the most active you'll find. Cheers!
-
Hey guys, just signed up to take this team last week, excited to join. I’ll be updating the trade block and hope to make some moves soon.

Oh wow, riding off into the sunset on top, eh Webb Gems? Very sad to be losing a great member of this league for such a long time! Appreciate you giving us enough time to fill your spot, I can imagine it won't be too hard to find someone to pick up a back to back defending champion.
Best of luck to you and thanks for helping make this league so great for so many years.
-
Thanks for the reminder Coco. Appreciate your stellar service as commissioner over the years. Unfortunately, I think I'm calling it quits for 2023. Want to give you enough time to find somebody to allocate arbitration. It's been a blast playing with you all. Gator, I'll forever be grateful to you for getting your PPG average back up to 4.00! Wish you all a happy holidays, a happy new year, and best of luck next season!
-
Happy Friday everyone! Quick reminder that arbitration ends in 10 days - looks like most have allocated already but just wanted to put it out there in case anyone forgot.
-
Congrats Webb Gems for a great win! Also congrats to Coco and Afraud. They had a really good battle there for a bit especially with SPH right behind. Love this league! You all make it a blast and can’t wait for arbitration!

Very glad to have fended off another incredible late season charge by SPH in spite of managerial incompetence and the best effort of my RP! Congrats to Webb Gems, another dominant performance. But most importantly great job to everyone in the league for another incredible season! This was by FAR the most competitive season we've ever had, all driven by the daily engagement of all owners. Thanks to you all for making this a very fun daily ritual for 6 months of the year.
-
Congrats to AF and Coco, I hope I made you at least sweat a little! And the BIG CONGRATS to WG for an outstanding season! And cheers to all for making this a really fun league!
-
Congrats also to Coco for managing to fend off the 4-time and 3-time champs right behind him
-
Thanks AF and congrats to you as well on your annual big September run up the standings!
-
Congrats, Gems! Back to back. A new member of the multiple champions club

I appreciate the enthusiasm, Coco, but I think it's a little too little a little too late. BTW, was in your neck of the woods for the past 2 weeks (Barcelona & Florence). We had a great time. Good luck all in the home stretch!
-
273 points! I knew in the back of my mind that a SPH 2nd place finish was preordained
-
I see what you did there AF

And Coco calling out Strangers' self-defeatist post has proven to be an effective rallying cry of his own!

Strangers' self-defeatist post from a week ago really rallied his troops!

Who wants Harper for the last month of the season?
-
I'm grateful for so much in this world, but none more than Gator's 4.00+ P/G offense. Gator, you are a gift!
-
Best.....year.....ever. THANK YOU GATOR, IT'S ALL BECAUSE OF YOU!!!
-
Can’t speak for everyone but I know t personally reached a plane of elation never before seen.
-
Aren’t we all happy now that I’m above 4.00 p/g offense and starting to improve our league averages? !
