Welcome aboard. At the risk of redundancy, we did a slow draft on couchmanagers last year, and you have two weeks to get arbitration done. Reach out if you have any questions.

Hi - I just claimed Dick Allen. Happy to join your league.

Welcome to the league Big Papi. We did a slow draft on couchmanagers last year, but you know how those work. There’s still two weeks to get arbitration done. You know the drill.
-
Congratulations to Slugless! Another year with a great competitive race at the top of the standings, but you really pulled away down the stretch when it mattered most. 103.5 points is the third highest result in the history of our league - great season!
Looks like we will have two vacancies for this upcoming season - Dead Money and Dick Allen are both not continuing and will be marked as abandoned. If you know anyone looking to join an ottoneu league before arbitration keep these te

Unfortunately I no longer have the time to manage my team, can you please abandon my team?
-
Thanks fellas

Congrats, Slug-less! A commanding win

Congratulations to Slugless. Would you really trade an Ottoneu championship for a Seattle loss in the wildcard round? I expect the Blue Jays to lose in the wildcard round.
-
congrats Slugless! I share your Mariner grief - what a roller coaster season....
-
Congratulations! I liked my team but I was locked in 6th forever. So average.
-
Thank you! I’m sad the Mariners came up short but it was a great MLB season.
-
Congrats, Slug-luss, on a pretty dominant win!

I’d be down to do that again next year. Thanks commish!
-
thanks Jose for managing the CM draft - lot of work for you - was a fun change up
-
Commish had to create an extra roster spot because couch manager required two catchers. If you're at 40 you're good.
Thanks again Commish! Great way to start baseball season.
-
Couch managers says I have a 40 man roster, as does Otto, but couchmanagers also says I have a roster spot left. What gives?

And that’s a wrap on the draft! Thanks for everyone’s patience but that seemed way easier than scheduling a live draft. Rosters have now been updated but be sure to review to ensure they look right. Good luck to everyone this season!
-
Posting here to generate the email: with our European teams done with their drafts, I’m extending the timers to run through midnight eastern still with an overnight pause until 7am.
-
Sorry about the stopped timer - it seems when I changed the start time for tomorrow, it was going to wait until tomorrow to resume. We're back up and running now. I'm updating ottoneu rosters with won players once a day or so as we go so that everyone can utilize their roster planner tool, if desired. I'm double checking all entries but let me know if you see any mistakes.

Timer on the auction has stopped. Any idea why?

I was still able to get on it but, may be safer to wait.

Ok - glad to hear it’s not just me. Hopefully they get that figured out

I'm getting the cert error as well.

Is anyone else having trouble with the couch managers website? All my devices are saying the website’s certificate is expired. I don’t think it’s something on my end, but wanted to check

Ah ok. Nobody bid on my guys. Thanks!

There are two settings in couchmanagers. One says the winner of the auction gets the nomination. The other says the original nominator of the player gets the nomination. We’re using the latter.
-
*the guy you previously nominated
-
You get nominations when the guy who previously nominated is won
-
Won two auctions- didn’t get two nominations. Any ideas why?

I wouldn’t mind starting the clock a bit earlier in the day as Commish suggested, but my opinion probably matters little since I’m in US Central time zone, so changes in the schedule have little effect on my day-to-day. I’ll defer to managers in Europe on this one.
For what it’s worth, I think the draft will start to speed up a bit. Everyone’s trying to get their top picks and willing to keep bidding to do so. Once those players are off the board the stakes lower considerably

I agree with sticking to 24 max nominations for now, at least. There’s been a lot of action on the board which is good. We could start the timers earlier (7am ET/4am PT) if west coasters are good with it. Any player receiving a new high bid overnight would still run to at least 12pm PT before being won, so should still prevent any player from running a whole clock while folks are sleeping. We can’t go later for now due to already ending daily timers at 3am European time.
-
I’m liking the format as well but don’t think I could keep up with more nominations at this point. This is already a lot!

I'm really liking the format. I know I said something on the other page, but just to get my vote out there: I think we should be able to nominate 3-4 at a time. I'd probably shorten the time for when a bid is increased too. But I'm on the west coast and have been able to look at it often.
-
Hi all, as we're heading into the weekend it seems everyone has the hang of the platform and has been checking in each day. I'm reducing the initial nomination times to 12 hours so they don't all take two nights. I'm keeping the hours at 9-9 for now because it seems like the 12 hour pause works best to give everyone a chance at sleep while clocks are stopped but we can adjust that, too, if everyone wants to extend the active hours.
-
Did not know that! Thank you
-
Good to know- thanks!

One way to expedite the draft is for managers to use the "Pass" button for any players that they're no longer interested in bidding on. If 11 managers Pass on a player, the clock automatically goes to zero and the player is awarded to the highest bidder.
-
That's right, and if you make a new high bid on a player with 11 hours remaining then there are still 11 hours remaining.
-
Ah ok. So if I make a new high bid on someone today that only has 2 hours remaining the clock resets to 8 hours?
Donkey Hotè on
March 2, 2023 10:09 AM
-
Initial nominations are for 12 hours, and new high bids reset the clock to 8 hours if the remaining time was less than that. If a new bid doesn't surpass the previous bid, it doesn't reset the clock at all. These long times are to ensure folks in Europe and California both have a chance to see new high bids for all players - if they're ok with us running the clocks longer each day we can increase it or shrink the initial nomination times or both. Players should start being won today, though!
-
remind me why some of the bids reset to 8 hours and some to more than 12 hours?

you bid $22 on Snell, but another team has a max bid on him that is $23 or greater. So, your bid increased the price without you taking the lead
The Maddogs on

-
I think it means other teams have preset higher bids. So you haven't reached their max bid yet.
The other side of that is, like if I've bid 20 on a player and the second highest bid is 15, it has me paying only 16.
-
when you bid and the background of a player turns yellow, the bid did not exceed the high bid, so you won't see your name. Right now you lead on Max at $37, and maybe you have a max bid set of - say - $40. If I plus $1, the price displayed goes to $38 with you winning still
