Anyone looking to make some moves? I’d love to trade some prospects or Encarnacion/Cruz/Cespedes for some pitching with some strikeout upside.

Great news, guys: it looks like we're already filled up for next season!
So what's next? The Keeper Deadline is January 31, 2018 11:59 PM EST. Use the time to free up budget for the auction, plan next year's strategy and make off-season trades. From February 1st on trades won't be allowed and cuts will involve the usual 50% cap penalties, so you'll probably regret missing this deadline (I'm looking at you, DoubleUD).
Good luck!

There unfortunately isn't an app, though you can either post to the message board here or private message using the little box icon next to the Trade menu up top of the screen. Welcome to the league! Most of us are in our second year, with a few first timers, so we're all still learning along the way.

What’s up! I’m new to Ottoneu but it seems awesome so far. Do you guys communicate through the site for trades and stuff or do you use a different app? Looking forward to playing with you guys.

Arbitration has started, guys, and Sonny John has had the honour to go first! For those of you who might need more time to allocate your bucks, here are a few articles to help you along the way. Arbitration ends on November 14 so there's plenty of time to prepare. However, I would encourage you to not wait until the last moment. Good luck!

I've put Albert Pujols on The Chamber for a buck. Given he's under contract until 2021 while being hugely overpaid, perhaps we could emulate that with our allocation dollars. Regardless, it should take away the worries about the arbitration process. If another worry or question arises, let me know and we'll take a look.

I've given the new owner (username: JasperWijmans) the choice between Utrecht Mets and Cool Whips and he's chosen the latter. I'll assign him the team in a little bit. Utrecht Mets will be without an owner for now, but I'll try my best to find a replacement before the arbitration period ends. Good luck experimenting with the arbitration dollars!

Utrecht Mets will be defunct as of now. I will send out messages to all of you to check who's in and who's not. Should you know active players who would be interested to join the league, please let me know!

Last but not least, don't forget to renew your subscription! Most of our subs end in a month or so.

A colleague of our Dutch friends has expressed interest in joining the league, he might be partaking as soon as tonight! In other news, I'm a bit worried about Cool Whips as he's had several inactive stretches without responding to mail. I'll try to contact him and see if he's still in.

Congratulations on winning the inaugural championship, Jose Can You See! Thought we were heading for a close finish, but you pulled away at the right time as most owners were struggling to find solid pitching.
The price increases happened three days ago, so we're basically waiting for the arbitration window to open. Good point by the way on The Chamber hindering the process, I'll go ahead and try to add random players to circumvent the issue.

Thanks, everyone! My pitching got hot in the right month. When is the best time for an owner to take over The Chamber? I was reading the allocation rules and saw we must all allocate salary to players on all 12 teams or allocate none at all. Is there a way around that since The Chamber roster is empty? Or do all of us forfeit the ability to allocate this season?

I found this on the community forum:
1. Arbitration starts on Oct 15 and goes until Nov 15
2. On Nov 15 arbitration will be finalized and you can make trades again
3. By the end of the day on Jan 31, all trades must be submitted and all cuts must be made. You must have a legal team per roster and salary cap limits.
4. No roster moves can be made from Jan 31 until your auction draft is marked as completed.
I guess salary increase and allocation starts when arbitration start.

Congrats indeed to Jose Can You See. He clearly could see the right tactics to end the season on an excellent run.
Now let the offseason fun begin. But what will be the timeline? Like the initial offseason salary increase (after which the allocations take place), the end of arbitration and the keeper deadline.

A reminder: the trade deadline is on August 31. We'll be allowed to trade again during the offseason from when arbitration voting is completed until the keeper deadline.

According to the lead developer of Ottoneu non-active players will show up significantly less in search results thanks to a recent tweak. The fake Jose Bautista will therefore be a thing of the past!

Totally agree!

That's why I want to propose that from now on, whenever a player is acquired illegally, the player will move to the team with the highest legal bid. If no legal bids are made, the player will head back to the pool.
Please feel free to comment on this topic!

Guys, I want to point out the following grea area in the rules:
"c. At no time should a team willingly go over roster and salary cap limits. If a team knowingly does this, they will face penalties at the discretion of their league's commissioner."
The rule is important because it prevents you from: 1. acquiring players and only making room (financially) for them afterwards, and 2. keeping players away from your rivals while ineligible (particularly relevant towards the end of the sea

It may even out. If it awarded him 1 point (12 place) for those categories, every coach would just receive +2 points in the standings by moving up one ranking in each. It wouldn't change any standings relative to other teams. That said, I did see this rule that might cover it if 5x5 leagues are included:
iii. There is a 1250 inning minimum threshold for pitchers in ottoneu classic (4x4) leagues. If a team does not meet this threshold, it will receive 0 points for all pitching categories.
