...Remember from here on out, any players you cut, you only get half their salary back into your budget, so a $4, would still cost you $2, a $9 player stills costs you $5 if you cut them UNLESS someone ends up picking them up, then you get the full credit. Here is a link to in-season auctions btw...https://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/ottoneu-101-in-season-auctions/

draft is closed, trades and auctions are open. Update those trading blocks. For the newbies, if you want to pick up a free agent, you have to start an auction for them. The auction takes 48 hours and min. bid is $1. You need to fit them into your $400 budget. The winner of the auction only has to pay $1 more than the next highest bid, so you could bid $20, but if the next highest bid is just $8, you'll get them for $9....

Ok!!

I guess just head into the draft and click "i'm done with the draft" if you can. If you find some time to head in I can unlock you.

I basically won’t be doing any drafting today and if so it would be after 2:30pm pacific. What should I do? Do you need me to log in to the start of the draft?
-
Good luck all, see you in the draft room!

it shows everyone has paid, or at least that their payments are pending. Thank you very much for taking care of it.

Edge is a terrible browser, but it may very well work fine for the draft. I recommend Chrome or Firefox. That being said, click on Auction Draft and see if you can add players to your watchlist and then close it and re-open and see if they're still there. I imagine some folks will be in the draft up to an hour early if you want to test the chat then.

I’ll be home in about an hour and can go to the site if you want to test the chat.

Is there a way to test the auction site before hand? Is Edge a decent browser? Thanks

...nothing slows down a draft like waiting for a nomination. Some folks burn through their budgets quickly and leave early, some stay all the way through for the bargains. Remember, you are under no obligation to fill your team at the draft, you can always leave money in your budget and roster spots open as long as you follow the "at least $1 left for each open roster spot". Other than that, if you have questions...feel free to ask.

Reminder that our draft is Sunday at 2pm EST, 1 pm CST, 11am PST. Please try and arrive 5 minutes early. If you click on "Auction Draft" in the upper left, you can see the draft layout if you're unfamiliar with it or need a refresher. On the bottom left you'll find the player search and can start adding players to your watchlist. We usually do 2-3 rounds of nominations and take 5 minute breaks and I expect the draft to last 3 hours or so. Please have a player ready to nominate when it'

Thanks. Sounds good
-
The voted off players are considered restricted free agents and should have 'RFA' after their name as opposed to 'FA'. They need to be nominated the same as any other player. The auction proceeds as normal and if it was your player, the $5 discount will be applied if you win the auction (it happens immediately). In past years, when someone nominates an RFA, I try to mention which team owned them.

How will the players voted off auction work? When do they get nominated? And does the $5 discount for our guy get figured in automatically? Thanks.

Draft this Sunday!!!! And seeing 3 more people need to pay their league dues through leaguesafe.com

League dues have been paid, 2/28/18. -DR
-
Dues paid. Finally, the offseason is coming to an end. I can tell because I've already lost a pitcher to TJ surgery.
-
I used the emails that you have registered with ottoneu/fangraphs if you're looking for the invite.

Currently it's set to only pay by e-check and there's no extra fee for that, if you really want to pay by credit or debit card, I can change the settings, but it's a 4% fee then for either option so I'd prefer those who want to pay by e-check get their chance first and if anyone really wants to pay by credit or debit, I'll switch it closer to the deadline.

You should have gotten an invite to pay your $40 buy-in fee through leaguesafe.com. Draft day is March 18th, please try to pay by then...actual deadline is April 25th. If you don't wish to participate in the pool(although I hope you do), please email or message me through ottoneu privately so I don't keep bugging you. Payout is (roughly) 50%($240), 25%($120), 15%($72), 10%($48) for the top 4 spots.

Nope. Wife is pregnant with our first, so we're going on a road trip before we're tied down. Just kind of driving and camping around the southwest for a week. I'll probably draft from Moab, Utah, then we'll spend a day or two in Canyonlands or Arches NP. We'll probably make our way into northern AZ, but not to spring training.
-
Will you be in AZ going to spring training?
-
2pm EST is probably as good a time as any for me. I'll be in Mountain time, so that's noon. I'll find a sandwich shop with wifi to get lunch at.
-
sorry Rhys. If there's a 2-3 hour time window after 2pm EST/11 am PST that works best for you, please let us know. I've changed it back to 2pm EST on the 18th for now. Happy to push it later in the day, up to 6/7pm EST if that helps.

That sounds inconvenient. If March 18 is really the only day that works for everybody, I can probably manage to find a spot with wifi for a few hours.
-
I suppose we could try an hour a night or something over the course of a week or two depending on what days work but that sounds painful. We can pause the draft.

I’m not available until after 7pm PST on weekdays, doubt that would work for most of you.
CGT on
February 15, 2018 12:04 AM

Weekdays, I can't really count on being available until at least 6:00 PST (and occasionally later). That would be a late draft on the east coast, but I'm open to it.
-
No worries Speedwagon, we’ll figure something out.

That's a problem for me, unfortunately. I joined another ottoneu league this season and it is drafting at 7:00 p.m. on 3/4. I committed to that today when I thought we were set for 2:00 p.m. Since we have 3-4 hours max., I wonder if late on a weekday might work. Sorry for the bother.

How’s 6pm EST/3pm PST on the 4th work for everyone? I’m sure we can shift an hour either way if necessary. Again, expect 3 hours if you plan to stick around for the end. Try to let me know by Friday if you have issues with that.

I'll be traveling on the 18th - road trip across the southwest. I suppose I could try to find somewhere with wifi for a few hours, but I'd rather not chance it if there's an alternative. That said, if there's a strong league preference for the 18th, I'll trust in my ability to find a good coffee shop.
-
Both dates fine with me......always prefer later date when possible. Thanks for juggling all this for us, Rob.....

That’s a legitimate point regarding my salary cap. I’ll be okay if you do the 4th I’ll just join in late if/when I can. 18th is good.
Pinochle Jacks on

I’m ok with either day, though I’d prefer the 18th. I’ll be jet-lagged on the 4th, thus likely to overbid just to get to bed!
-
That’s what I was hinting at, but I know a lot wanted a later date and i don’t know if Rhys’s thing on the 18th is an all day affair or not.
CGT on

Maybe just move it later on the 4th.
-
I’ll flip a coin I guess. But since I gave more time to everyone chime in on moving it to the 18th, I’d be inclined to leave it there I think. On the other hand, pinochle barely has any salary cap so I’m not sure how much of the draft he’ll be in. I can also move it later in the day. So let me know your time windows for the 4th and 18th if you have issues and I’ll do my best to accommodate everyone,

Dammit guys you’re gonna kill me - I am just now catching up and see you switched back to March 4. I have a band that day until at least 6pm eastern time. I didn’t realize we popped it back from the 18th.

Little known fact - you can make any player's name appear as "Pablo Sandoval" for a week by going to the player page and entering "up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A, start."

That is INSANE!!! How did that happen ... that’s a major screw up. Did he hide his name?
