I think Hot Mess is missing Scott Heineman TEX $2. Maybe not found on site but just letting you know.
-
My team is correct
-
I'm cool if we actually do require all teams must draft 5 RP's, but wanted some clarity beforehand.
-
I've got a question. When drafting, it shows 5 RP like Ottoneu has in the starting lineup. Does every team have to draft 5 RP's or can a team draft like 3 RP's instead? And if they do, how will the 2 vacant RP spots turn into bench spots(to draft something other than a RP) on the draft site? I could be mistaken, but I don't think Ottoneu requires all teams draft 5 RP's. I think it's just the 40 player max. Hopefully this makes sense, let me know if not and if someone knows the answer.

I'm in

For the teams that have joined the auction site, your teams are populated. PLEASE, check your rosters. I double checked everything myself, but I'm certain to have made a few errors. We are waiting for Hot Mess and the Chihuahuas to join the auction. We are hoping they join soon and we can begin our auction. Thanks for the input. I took Uehara off of Margarita's team this afternoon. It only seems fair. In the meantime, check those rosters!
-
No problem
-
No issue here
-
Me neither
-
No problem myself
-
Does anyone have a problem with me taking Uehara off Maragaritaville's roster without penalty before the auction? I don't care. I'd rather do it this way.
-
Thanks for the info Krushers. I fixed it.
-
I can't speak for everyone, but I don't have any problems if we let Margaritaville go ahead and cut Uehara. I didn't even know he was in Japan and kinda hard to predict that. Besides it would make it less confusing at the slow draft as well. Just a thought.
-
To change your team name, scroll to the bottom of the page, and you will see a box titled "Auction Settings." There is a link to "Edit Team Name"
-
Thanks for joining the auction. I'm a high school teacher, so timing for setting rosters will be a little wonky. I can do sporadic work throughout the day, I'll do most of the work after 5 CT.
I did notice Uehara wasn't added. Because he's no longer on an MLB roster, and he has signed with a Japanese team; he isn't available in our auction. Margaritaville this morning informed me he will choose to auction 39/40 players. He can then cut Uehara (if he chooses) post auction.
-
just joined
-
I've joined the draft
-
Margaritaviile is missing Koji Uehara
-
Well damn! I put Aldo Nova as my username on draft site. {Poof} is Aldo Nova. Sorry. Can't figure out how to change it.
-
Got it. Double check your roster and let me know. Thanks for the help.
-
rizzo i have luis urias(SDP) the 2b/ss - not julio urias(LAD) sp/rp
-
Sorry. It asked for a password. I probably could have avoided it, but it sounded dumb enough for me to try. The password is "Baseball". I'm updating rosters right now. Daniel's is ready to go. Please double check for accuracy.
-
just register. then on right side of screen you'll see Join typed in red - you'll see rizzorectors name etc. click on join. It asks for password. Enter Baseball
-
is there a password on the couchmanagers site??
-
I registered on couch managers! Good to go for slow draft Looking forward to a full year with this team and a few less self inflicted hiccups along the way :)
-
Hello Everyone, My name is Daniel- I am ready to rock. I am already signed up for the slow draft and I am ready to make unreasonable bids on anything Seattle Mariner, so lets do this.
-
You will need to sign up to couch managers (it's free). The password for our league is "Baseball" (yeah, I'm breaking the password challenge). Sign your team in as close to the approx. name of your team so that I can assign you players. Assigning players will take me a bit...maybe a day. Hopefully we are ready to go by Friday.
-
Here's the auction link. https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/?auction_id=110
-
I'm in for this slow auction...the Season starts in a month...we should have time...
-
I got a guy to fill for WS will roll. He's in my other Ottoneu league. Great, active owner.
-
I will not be doing the slow auction and have asked Rizzo to put my team up for sale. Good Luck.
-
How many owners do we need to confirm slow draft. I thought I counted 9 as good. Who needs to respond so we can get a plan.
-
I am down with this. especially if it means no one misses the draft.

Thanks for all the responses. I went ahead and established an auction room when/if we are ready to do this. I know WS Roll has some hesitations because of time (I hope he reconsiders), and I have not heard from a few others...especially Hot Mess, our co-commissioner. I want everyone to be *mostly* comfortable with this format.
-
Ok
-
I'm on board doing the slow auction draft
-
Yeah looks solid to me.
-
Have used Couch Managers a few times for slow auctions, including once already this winter. Big fan. Five stars. Would recommend
-
I’m watching a buddy of mines slow draft, and I think it’s very cool. I suggest 2 nominations per owner and a 24 hour bid timeframe. It moves quicker than you would think. We’ve got a month, so plenty of time to complete. Can always change timeframe if needed later as rosters fill. The draft room is fine. I like that it’s like having a draft going on everyday day. I’m digging it so far.
-
#3. We can adjust the auction times at any time. So, I typically like to start at a 12/12 pace, but move into a 8/8 pace. Even 6/6. I will update schedules as I find time. You literally have to show up once or twice a day to check the auction (although some of you will be addicted to the pretty screen). The interface is better than Ottoneu. More importantly, it gives you time to complete the auction fairly. Again, nothing has been decided. But, that's how it works.
-
#2 Any player that ups a bid will reset the clock. Again, we can adjust as we go through, but I would begin with a 12 hour re-auction. This will last until the auction is complete. We can adjust this as we go along and get used to the process. Once the player you nominated has completed their journey, you will get a new nomination. After a certain number of player selections (we'll say 40), I can assign another extra nomination to increase the auction pool. So, we will have 24 going at once.
-
A slow auction on couch managers works like this (if we do this): I will set up an auction room and everyone will sign up. I will load the rosters with the correct salaries, you will double check for any errors, and I'll set it to go. We will begin with one nomination each at the beginning. So, we will have 12 auctions going at the same time. You can start the auction at any price you want, but the auction will last as long as we decide. At first, out of fairness, I would suggest 12 hour windows
-
I was having a hard time imagining a slow auction - apparently multiple players are up for auction simultaneously, more like waivers in-season. here are details from couch managers site: https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/guide.php I'm open to whatever. I'd like to get the draft out of the way, but out of fairness to the league a slow auction sounds like it could work. the couch managers interface is remarkably worse than ottoneu: https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/?auction_id=17
-
Im fine with that if we have to do it that way - Is there an easy way to import our whole player pool into their draft client? Also - How is the interface, if it is at least as good as Otto then there should be no problems because I find Otto client is terrible..
-
FWIW, I run a slow auction for an Ottoneu league every season. We have players from all over the world and have to set enormous time limits. We add nominations (after 40 players), and it takes all of 1 1/2 to 2 weeks to complete. It's low monitoring...check it once or twice a day to see how it's moving. For those of us that are super busy, it is a 2 minute distraction a day rather than a 3-4 hour block of time one day. No decision has been made. Just know it's not that consuming.
-
Slow draft might work, but not a slow auction. That will take forever
-
I have 2 potential Clients coming in to talk to me this Thursday night. We would have met tomorrow, but the snowstorm has pushed us to Thursday.
Perhaps a Slow Draft might be the best option...
-
Thanks Poof. I took up the issue with Hot Mess. If anyone has thoughts on a slow draft option, leave those thoughts on the board.
-
Maybe we need a slow draft at couchmanagers.com, since we are having trouble finding a date that works for everyone. Check it out and see if that could be an option. I'm not very familiar with it. A friend of mine is drafting from there for his league and it seems pretty cool.
-
I can't do Thursday, but you can go ahead and draft without me if everyone else can do that time.
