Good morning-I updated rosters for the overnight auctions. If no one has any objections, I'm going to shut down the auction tomorrow evening-Monday morning. Sheryl has 4 roster spots and 4 nominations. Hopefully, she can get her team finished. I think we should ready ourselves for the regular season and some trade talk and a little roster adjustments. It snowed in Chicago this morning. I put the Cub flag up anyway. It's March. Baseball is on its way.

Great work Rizzo! Just so you know, I still need Dan Altavilla, Tyler White, and AJ Minter to be added to my roster. Thanks again!
-
Dan-Check now. He should be there.
-
@Rizzo- I am missing Corbin Martin, P, HOU
-
I think I got it. Double check. Thanks for the editing help.
-
meaning he is on my roster atm, but should be on his. :)
-
Rizzo - Anthony Desclafani is not on my roster. i Believe kannapoli. I am missing tyler flowers. will let you know if there is anything else. thanks ahgain!!
-
Good evening-The roster update for the past 36 hours is complete. Please check my work. I'll do a quick salary check when the auction is finished. We are down to the end. I may change the auction time to 4 hours or something shorter so we can get this finished. Thanks for the compliments. However, if it wasn't for all of our buy in and abilities to be flexible, this thing wouldn't have worked. Thanks though. I appreciate it.
-
Rizz, you did a fantastic job. Thanks.
-
Eloy and the Morlocks's trade block has been updated!
-
I'll join the chorus, thanks Rizz for all the hard work managing the auction!
-
Hey all, I have meetings all day at work, so I haven't checked in on the auction much today. I will work on adding to rosters later. I may have to pack Sheryl with lots of nominations to finish her draft.
-
Overall, it was a good draft and had fun. Hopefully all will join in thanking Rizz for the hard work he put in. He did an outstanding job on everything. Much appreciated.
-
I have enjoyed the slow draft. There are a few flaws. I would prefer to establish some sort of rules with nominations. Maybe a rule or setting where teams cannot bid unless their open nominations have been submitted. Also, at the end of draft like now, making sure teams nominate instead of watching who other noms are. And last I can think of, make sure we clarify roster positions and player position eligibility beforehand. A few players differ on Ottoneu.
-
If everyone still bidding would click Pass on the players they are not in on that also would speed things up
-
I suggest a deadline set to nominate at the draft. If nominations are not submitted by the deadline you choose, teams will be considered done. Those teams can just pick up via transactions.
-
Judge's Beer Pong Mates 🍻's trade block has been updated!
-
The Mudville Nine's trade block has been updated!
-
Thanks Rizzo. Appreciate the time you put in as well! Keep the nominations coming :) lol
-
In the interest of time and to get the preseason trade talk going, I gave the teams remaining in the auction room 2 additional nominations.
-
get out the rye bread and mustard 's trade block has been updated!
-
Hot Mess's trade block has been updated!

Morning update-I updated rosters this morning. Double check my work. Right now, we have 3 teams finished with their auction. Mudville 9 and Eloy will probably be finished in about an hour. In the interest of time, I may start to speed up the auction by increasing a few nominations for those of us that remain and/or decrease the bid time. I'll take any other suggestions, but I'd like for this auction to be complete by Monday evening.
-
Morning update-I updated all rosters. Please double check my entries. Correct names & salaries. Margaritaville is officially finished with his auction. He will no longer be able to nominate. Hot Mess, Judge, & Eloy are close to being complete. I meant to reset the auction rebid clock last night. I became distracted with the Chicago election results. I have since updated this. All rebids will be 8 hours. The original bid will remain 12.
-
Morning update-I will update rosters later this morning. Please double check my work. Can we make sure that we are nominating players in the auction room? I still don't see the competitive advantage to it. If everyone understands player value well, the avoidance of nominating only sets a standard of annoyance. It also slows the auction. We will address this problem in next season's auction. Nominate! Help in the fun! I'm going to reset the 8 rebid when I get home from work tonight (around 7 CT).
-
8 on rebids sounds good

Evening update-I haven’t heard a lot of responses for the 8 hour rebid window, so I’ll leave it as is until opinions become more pronounced. I’ll do a player add either late tonight or early tomorrow morning.
-
I don’t disagree with you. I hope that players want to use their nominations. It’s good for the pace of the draft. It’s a dollar bet. If a player knows his/her finances, they should know when to spend at least a dollar.
-
I do wish there were a way to make owners nominate before they can bid on other players. That skipping nominations can be helpful as we get late in the draft. Part of the challenge is trying not to get stuck with a $1 player you don't really want or when to try to call out the $1 player you do want. I think all teams should be required to nominate so they will face that challenge as well.
-
Oh, I just realized you meant 8 on rebids. No problem there. If I can't get it done in 20 hours, I can't complain.
-
I'm cool with the 12 personally. That 8 hours can be tough for me on certain days.
-
I just updated the overnight auctions. Please check your teams to make sure names and salaries have been transferred correctly. The next batch seems to be later tonight. Looking at our auctions right now, we do not seem to be resetting many of the auctions more than 1 or 2 times. What do you think of resetting all new bids at 8 hours? The initial bid will still be 12, but any rebid will be set for 8. Keep using those nominations!
-
Everyone received 1 additional nomination this evening. Use it wisely. (or not)
-
Last thing: if you want to move the auction along a little faster, you can "pass" on any player you do not want to place a bid. If 11 players press the "pass" button (drag your mouse over the name of the player and a "pass" button will be revealed), the player's auction will automatically stop and the player will be assigned to the team with the highest bid at that moment.
-
Quick update: In about 4 hours, I'll be adding one additional nomination per team. This should loosen up the auction a bit. I'll keep the 12/12 auction limit for now. A few of us will have 2 nominations to use. Should be fun! I'll also be updating rosters tonight on the league site. Please double check these adds to make sure that 1. you have the correct player and 2. you have the correct player at the correct salary.
-
Yeah I know that - The black box and bid buttons disappear whenever I try to click on them.. I could send a picture.
-
Once the auction begins, you have a couple of options to place your bid. If you want to increase your bid by $1 over the current bid, click "outbid by $1" next to the list of auctioned players. However, if you to place a max bid, you can insert a dollar amount on the blank box to the far right of the player's name. Enter in your highest possible bid and this will be set as the number that your opponents would have to beat in order to overbid your highest bid. This max bid is obviously
-
I might just be doing it wrong, but for some reason the bid box and buttons disappear whenever I try and put my mouse over them to make a bid... I can figure out how to nominate but not how to bid.
-
A quick instruction-If you want to bid on a player, you have to click the player's name. The site will ask you if you are sure, you can confirm. If you want to put a player in your list of nominations, you can click the Q+ link on the right and your list of favorites will populate on the right hand side.
-
And...the auction...has begun!
-
2-Once your auctioned player has reached a roster, you will receive a new nomination. I will adjust the auction time once we have auctioned 20-30 players. I will update rosters as we move along. I'd like to promise every night. We don't have a lot of players to nominate. I think Daniel and I have the most spots to fill. Most everyone else is 25+. We can problem solve as we move along the auction. Good luck!
-
OK. The auction is full and we are ready to get started. I will start it at 2pm ct. (about 25 mins) Please take a look at your rosters to make sure I have everything set correctly. You will all begin with 1 nomination. Each auction will take a minimum of 12 hours to complete. If anyone bids higher, the auction will reset for another 12 hours. Please, if you know your max bid, submit this early in the bidding process to prevent the back and forth bidding thus resetting the auction each time.
-
My team looks good too. Thanks Rizzo for all your work getting this setup!
-
Alright Sheryl girl, come join us at the slow draft so we can get this party started up. Time for the Slow Ride, Take It Easy....(name that artist/band without looking it up?)
-
My team is correct
-
I assume it would be the same regarding RP
-
@rizzo the C’s issue in our other league is totally fixable. The roster position should just be labeled as Bench/ pitcher. I labeled two positions strictly catcher in accident just because I was mirroring roster construction.
-
I’ll look into roster controls on the auction site. If not, we can adjust as needed via the ottoneu rosters. You can win all the players you want until you get to 40 players. It will be up to us/me to monitor these odd roster maneuvers as they come up. For example, we do not need to roster 2 catchers. It’s doable.
-
I figured you were on top of it. You've nailed it getting everything set up. Nice job man!
-
Yeah. I just requested he be added to the auction. If not, Hot Mess will have 39 spots to fill for the auction.
