Greetings everyone! Here is a survey for you to complete regarding our upcoming auction draft. My hope is to have all responses in by Sunday afternoon, and we can make a formal decision shortly thereafter. Please let me know if you have questions. https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/boZrO6Ya

Hello everyone! I am happy to report that we are back at full strength, with the addition of Ed (Schwar-Bombs Away) and HamPorter360 (Just Vlad to be Here). Please join me in giving them a warm welcome. Quick reminder - we are a week out from the Keeper deadline. Good luck in those final roster decisions, the auction draft will be here before we know it.
-
contact me. I will probably wait until the end of the week to reach out to the other two interested candidates. Again, thank you all for keeping this league alive and well. Start crunching those projection sheets, the keep/cut deadline is only few months away!
-
Thank you all for completing your arbitration allocations (even those of you that contributed to my $30 salary hike!). In an effort to keep everyone in the loop, I would like to announce we are down another manager, as the trio at the helm of D'Arnaud stepped down last week. I have two potential managers that I am able to reach out to, but I wanted to open it up to our existing league members first. If you have a friend or league mate from another league who is interested, please feel free to

Thanks Commish, glad to be back

Hi all, thanks for a great season! This was our first time in Ottoneu and we enjoyed it, but the daily lineups was a bit too much to handle. So I'm afraid we have to leave this league. I hope there's enough time for you to find a replacement before offseason decisions need to be made.
-
Just a reminder - two weeks left to complete your arbitration allocations. If you have questions or the process is not clear, please do not hesitate to reach out. Looks like we have a full roster of managers once again, thanks to Big Papi for making a triumphant return to the league! Welcome (back)!
-
Congratulations to Sonoma County Crushers on the title! Well done to Peoria and Harpooners on the top 3 finish, the standings were all over the place this back end of the season. I know I was late to the game but thanks to everyone for a competitive season and I’m look forward to being here for a full season next time around. Ready for some playoffs and off-season fun!

For the MI/CI I'm less certain but I can see if I can find a forum post about it.

Hey Elligators, so those are just both products of the format. I don't believe there is an explanation for either in the rules but you can search both of those topics on the forums and likely find explanations from Niv on why they are that way. In short there are two Catcher slots to allow you to start two catchers on the same day because catchers do not typically play a full slate of games but it also makes Ottoneu NOT a two catcher league.

Soooo...I just realized the games played limits for individual positions includes a limit for our catchers at 1/2 the games of other positions. So those guys are useless to me. In other musings, why do we have a MI but not a CI?

A player has to be in an SP slot in order to accrue stats for a start and has to be in an RP slot to accrue relief stats.

Can anyone explain why Aaron Ashby’s stats don’t show up in my daily stats? I’ve noticed it a few times with a starter who is eligible to be in the reliever slot. Are relievers who start games not eligible to have their stats count?

I am Jared by the way, Senzelevator owner and first year commissioner. Thanks for joining and best of luck the rest of the year!
-
Welcome Elligators and Chocobos! Yes - Excel is correct. If an owner takes on a team after the Keeper deadline, usually we offer them a round of penalty free cuts. This does not apply for a change in ownership during the season. Believe it or not, we do have a specific league channel on the Ottoneu Slack (surplusorscrub645). I can't say it has been used very often in the last couple years but that doesn't mean we can't get it up and running. Let me know if you can't find it.
-
I think the Slack mentioned is for the entirety of Ottoneu, not just this league. And the free cuts were for the offseason; every team has a window to make free cuts after the season ends, and a few of us took over teams from inactive managers that hadn't made any cuts during that window.
(This is my first season of Ottoneu also, so I'm not 100% certain on this)
-
Hello everyone! I’m thrilled to be in my first Ottoneu league. I look forward to meeting and competing with you. I have a couple of questions: I see earlier someone mentioning a slack for the league. Is that a thing? Also I also see someone saying something about new owners and free cuts, is that also a thing?
Thanks!

Thanks for having me everyone, looking forward to playing in a 4x4 for the first time, new challenge. Just for clarity Nor’westers is now Chocobos & Moogles, I’ll try not to send too many trade offers lol

Please welcome the new managers who are taking Mr Senrub and my team. I have really enjoyed my time playing in this league and helping out as co-commish but I have too many teams to properly manage so this is one of the teams I am stepping away from. Best of luck to all with the rest of the season!

Hey new guy here, anyone know how I can get added to the Ottoneu Slack?
-
When a team gets a new owner, they are allowed one round of penalty free cuts, which is what happened today.

Cuts were made today.
-
Rosters are locked even if we wanted to make any cuts...
-
Are we good to draft tomorrow?? We still have a team that hasn’t made cuts

The 48 soft warning makes sense to me
Garbage Inn on

Likewise, I’m not that concerned about rosters/salary being over maxed - ‘Love’ s suggestion makes a lot of sense?
-
It is not a huge issue for me, but I prefer a "soft" 48-hour rule. After two days, the commish can send a reminder to the manager and ask them to remedy the situation within the next day.
-
There is one aspect of the ottoneu rules that can vary league to league, so I would like to have a discussion about it and come up with a rule that works for this league before it comes up in season.
After making a transaction that puts your team over the salary cap and/or max roster size, how long do you have to 'get legal'? I have heard opinions on the ottoneu Slack ranging from 12 hours to 'whenever you want to, because your roster is frozen'. How do you folks feel?

It was not easy trying to coordinate a time that worked for everyone - we have managers spanning three different continents and at least four different time zones (that I know of). Nor'westers and I agreed that this was the best option, and we would be happy to help you find a proxy if need be. With that being said, I am excited for this season and I wish you all the best of luck!
-
We have officially decided on Wednesday, April 6th for the auction. We will start at 7:00 p.m. EST. Thank you to all those that responded on the survey with such short notice, and additionally, the managers that were able to respond so quickly to our messages. I wish we could have helped you out more.

Do we have any better idea of our auction date yet?

Hello! I’m taking over If You D’Arnaud along with two of my buddies. We’re long time fantasy vets but neu to Ottoneu. Thanks for having us!

I’m in a weird time zone for you guys (Sydney, Australia) but can generally make anything work after about 3PM New York time which is 6AM for me.

A warm welcome to Microsoft Excelling, Mr. Senrub and the folks taking over d'Arnaud! I honestly wasn't sure we were going to get to 12 teams.
Thanks to everyone who as filled in the doodle poll, if you haven't please try and do soon as time is obviously running short to get this done before the season starts. It looks like we will have to choose a day that won't work for at least some, my apologies in advance. If proxies are required, please let me know once the date if finalized.

Please take the time to fill out this doodle form for our auction date. We currently have one team left open, but some promising candidates have shown interest. Thanks! https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/rb2LNBWe

Hi everyone! I'm taking over the Solid as Iraq team
-
No date set just yet. Nor'westers and I have been kicking around some ideas to try and get the last three teams claimed. I think we both felt that we should try to fill those before throwing out the usual Doodle survey. Hopefully between the CBA and the Spring Training games starting up it will drum up some interest. On a positive note, The Blind Squirrels have a new owner - welcome!
