If anyone needs a "Timeout" (bathroom, etc.) please say so and we will take a break. I would like to be as firm as possible. I have seen plenty of drafts manipulated this way. It really comes into play for those owners that are waiting for the $1 bids at the end of the draft. With that being said, we will show some compassion for things that are out of our control. I hope to not be put into a position where I am trying to virtually figure out if someone is gaming the system or has a le

Can we beg to get back in if issues with connections, getting back from bathroom, family interruption, etc.? Just looking to understand how firm the commish will be with this. Thanks.

Please note in the lower right corner where it says: "If you miss a nomination, you will be locked out of the draft." Thanks!

Ready! We will be starting at 3:00pm SHARP! Please try and enter the draft room at least a few minutes early. Que up some players to nominate...please note that you are REQUIRED to make a nomination when it is your turn. If you skip a nomination, your draft is DONE.

Right, that all makes sense. Thanks a lot for the help guys. Should be a fun year

Feel free to message me directly if you have other questions and I'll do what I can to answer. I'm not the commish (NL Mideast is), but like he said - an educated league is a better league. Good luck.

To follow up what Orange D mentioned, you will want to go through each team's roster and look for the red highlighted players. These players are not listed as FA on the site but will be available at the auction. Example - I have Jose Ramirez but he will be available at the draft auction. If I end up winning him at say $30, my price will be dropped to $25. You still need to out bid the other owners first before the discount is applied. If you don't win the player back, his cap hit is returned.
-
Player addition on your roster is either done by trade, draft auction, or in-season auction. There are no player auctions between the end of the season and the draft auction. If a player is not auctioned in the draft, you can't just "claim" a player afterwards and he is on your roster. The player must go through a blind auction process with the highest bidder getting the player at a cost of $1 over the 2nd highest bidder. You will not be able to see what the other owners are bidding.
-
As long as the player is listed in the system, the player can be auctioned. I have found that many of the players that are part of the most recent draft (in this case 2017) are not selected because of lack of time spent in the minors to get a feel for them. It really is owner preference on how you want to construct your roster, especially the bench. Ohtani was not in the player pool until after the last auction period was over. Our draft will be the first time anyone in the league can bid on him
-
Thanks a lot guys. The picture is becoming clearer. I think I'll get the rest of it as we go along. One last question though. What is the process for prospects/draftees becoming available to add? I noticed most of the top picks from last year's draft weren't owned but, for example one of them (Keston Hiura) was. Even Ohtani is still a free agent.
-
Additionally, something that took me a while to figure out in year one last year, is that all of the arbitration cuts will be available at auction, with the current team getting $5 discounted if re-acquired.

So you should probably check to see if you have that option available to you from your team page. You can select "CUT PLAYERS" from the sub menu. When I click it tells me that I can't make cuts. Like I said, I think you may have the option to do whatever cuts you want...but you get one chance to do it (meaning you can't cut one player at a time. Decide who has got to go...and then cut them all at the same time.)

Also some great info here. http://community.ottoneu.com

All deadlines for making cuts have past for this offseason. However, I believe you may get one chance to cut players from your roster before the draft since your team changed ownership. These cuts would be "penalty free". "h. If a team changes ownership, the new owner is given the opportunity to make one round of penalty-free cuts."

(please note that the default players page you are brought to in the above directions is "Free Agents". Middle of the screen you will see "Fantasy Team" with a drop down menu. You can select any team in our league to see their current roster.)

2. Available players in the auction: On the top of this screen click on "PLAYERS". A submenu will appear on the next page. Click on "FREE AGENTS". This will bring you to the list of players currently not rostered in our league. You must sort by either "batting" or "pitching". There are many other ways to sort those lists once you are there. But any player appearing there will be available for bids in the auction.

Hey guys. Longtime dynasty league player here. First time trying Ottoneu. A lot of this is new to me, so it may take me some time to get my feet set but I'm pretty excited. Forgive me if i ask any dumb questions, but I'll need a few things explained to me. Firstly, are there any upcoming deadlines in which I need to do anything? Secondly, regarding this draft coming up on the 24th, who exactly will be in the player pool? Lastly, are we allowed to trade now, or not until after the draft?
-
Looks like we have a team opening. If you personally know anyone that is interested, please let them know. Thanks!

Thanks for understanding, I did just space on the deadline.

Personally, I'm totally fine with the cuts, seems more than fair. 1/31 seems like a relatively arbitrary deadline to me anyway.

different team, got injured, etc.). Likewise, I don't think any real advantage was given by looking at what players other teams cut. Bottomline: I hope there is no controversy over either the missed "keeper deadline" or the way I dealt with it. As commissioner I don't want to make season altering decisions and prefer to be hands off. I don't think this was season altering and I hope we can all focus on getting ready for the draft! See you all then...

Hi, I manually cut players from Orange D team since he missed the deadline. I understand this is not the ideal situation to allow someone to make cuts after the deadline has passed, but I believe it was an honest mistake and the players he wanted to cut were obvious cuts for the most part. There wasn't any players on his "cut list" that I thought he might gain an advantage by waiting after the deadline and gaining some sort of extra knowledge regarding the player (i.e. X players signed
