A few things-Sorry I was out and about most of the weekend: didn't get a chance to monitor the auction closely. Looking at the board, we are essentially holding a very long snake draft. I reduced the time to 8hr and 6 hr to address this for a bit. I did a roster import-I received two errors from this import. Let me know if something doesn't match up with your rosters. Lastly, I ended a bunch of $1 auctions-speed it up. Tomorrow, I'm going to hand out noms to those that need to finish up.
-
Much better. Well done, commish.
-
I'll allow the Baty auction to continue as it had activity about 8 hours ago and I suspect a few went to bed after the last increase.
-
In the attempt to bypass some of the clogged arteries of our auction, I'm going to end any auction that hasn't had a bid placed on it in over 8 hours.
-
Could we get some pass button users??? This draft is self inflicted and painfully long.
-
FYI-I added a nomination to your totals this morning. Use them wisely and freely. I'll adjust timing as more teams move beyond 20 roster spots.
-
I started the auction. I'll do my best to track it for the first few moments. Use the CM chat to ask/answer any questions. Have fun!
-
OK. Here's a quick "How to..." for Couch Managers. I know a lot of us have drafted through CM. Again- double check your rosters and salaries. Let me know if you need to make any adjustments.

Hi all-The auction is loaded. A few things prior to getting started-1. Check your teams. I was able to do a 5 minute review of finances, but I didn't get into the individual salaries-you need to check this. 2. We can start whenever we want. My plan was to hit the start button tomorrow morning between 8-9 CT, but we can go whenever we want now. We will start with 12hr initial auction time with a 10hr reset until everyone gets comfortable. I'm in no rush, but don't want this to drag either.
-
Oh. Forgot. If you haven't, try to update your team name on CM to most align to your league name. Under "Settings" and "Edit team name" at the bottom of the screen.
-
Hey. I'm working on the last two entries into the auction...sorry Steve Cohen...I'll begin importing line ups today and into tomorrow. Hopefully we can begin the auction Monday.
-
I'm in the lobby, my name is Fidelio. I'm actually doing two couch managers auctions
-
I’ll cross reference later, but remember to sign up for the auction so I can populate our rosters over the weekend. Starting Monday. Link and password in previous post.
-
I am preparing the CM auction room. I’m still pointing to a March 13 start date. Follow this link-enter your team name(be sure it’s the same as the name in this league).

Let me know if you have questions. I’ll provide a CM tutorial prior to drafting.
-
Good morning-My plan is to build the Couch managers auction room this weekend so we can populate the auction room through next week, and begin the auction in the morning (Chicago time) on Monday, 3/13. For those of you new to CM, I will put together a quick tutorial and share it with the group just prior to beginning the auction. Questions? DM me.
-
FYI-I made the suggested cuts from Moonlight Graham today-that's the reason for all the post 1/31 cuts.
-
Ya I got 29 roster spots to fill so the slow draft may take a bit for me. Welcome everyone ! (Also joined this off-season and look forward to filling out my squad)
-
Welcome to the league newbies!
-
Welcome aboard-We are officially full. I'm glad that was quick. Let's use March 13 as an auction start date. Again, it's probably as LATE as we can start this league. Still, it could come with a better sense of value through Spring Training battles and injuries.
-
Hey all, I took over Krushers. I'll make my cuts soon after I look at the team. I'll give the obligatory 'anyone is available for trade' up front. I've played Otto for a while. I have 3 (now 4) teams going now. Looking forward to turning this team around and joining the league!
-
Welcome to our new owner-I believe you get one round of cuts, but I noticed you only cut Bauer...if you were unaware of this rule, please let me know and I can manually cut players for you.
Post March 13 could work-that would probably be the last possible day to begin in order to complete the auction by opening day.
-
Would prefer a later draft date if possible, post 3/13. Thanks.
-
Have 2 available spots in the league. Posted on the Ottoneu message board-hopefully someone (other than Big Papi) decides to join. In the meantime, let's think about auction dates-hoping for after Super Bowl/beginning of Spring Training. Perhaps March 1?
-
Ha! I'll wait until tomorrow before I boot them from the league. Then I'll work on replacements-trying to avoid Big Papi.
-
neither have logged in since May; bigpapi can't wait
-
Currently the Krushers and Troops are the only two teams that have not yet met these two qualifications.
-
Reminder: Cuts are due by the end of the day tomorrow (Tuesday, 1/31). It is also the due date for the $20 Ottoneu fee. I will assume that if cuts are not made and payment has not been received by Ottoneu, the owner no longer wishes to participate. At that time, I will search for a new owner for any team not meeting those two requirements. Please DM me if you have any specific questions.
-
Welcome to the league!
-
Hey everyone,
I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Jim, been playing ottoneu for 5+ years and I know a few of you from one of my other leagues. I like to trade, although I'm not big on prospects. Send me a message or a trade proposal and I'll try to get back to you.
-
Yep, coming back
-
I am not going to be back this season.
-
Thanks for those confirming their participation for 2023. Roster cuts are due by 1/31.
-
I will be back
-
I'll be back
-
Ok. Thanks for letting me know.
-
I won’t be back. Please drop me.
-
Yes- I will be back for more
-
Happy New Year everyone! With the keeper deadline approaching at the end of the month, can each of the owners give your intentions on staying on for the 2023 season? I'll make Sunday, Jan 28 as the deadline for these decisions to be shared.
-
For the time being, I'm going to remain on as commissioner. My 2022 summer was super busy, and I simply didn't have a lot of time to dedicate to Ottoneu, much less to being a commish. I'm going to reflect on it and make a decision based on my time later this month. I promised myself more baseball in 2023-we'll see how I feel.
-
Arbitration begins Sat 10/15. Please take advantage of an important part of the league calendar. If you plan on NOT returning for the 2023 season, I request either abandoning your team prior to arbitration so we can find a replacement owner. It's not a HUGE deal if you arb than abandon...it's the next best scenario. Better than not participating at all. Nevertheless, good luck to everyone.
-
Congrats to the Champ
-
Great season all! Think we have some issues to clean up but hopefully everyone will be back and ready to go for next year!
-
Congrats on the big championship trophy! That was quite the push at the end of the season. To all that placed, congrats as well. I hope to dust off my former champion self and make a push in 2023.
-
Nice win, Holy Owned. We'll try again next year
-
Well damn Tyler, this is a bit awkward. It seems you have lost the lead.
-
As a reminder: Trade Deadline is Wednesday, August 31.
-
Well, that was sure something to wake up to
-
Tyler, buddy. You should have never picked those players up if you didn’t have a clear pathway or plan to drop players. Absolute abuse of the rules. I expect swift action. You’re in big trouble if this isn’t fixed. It’s been an obscure amount of hours plus some.
-
Tyler…. C’mon, pal. It’s not very becoming of you to make me have to send all these complaints and about your complaint that you seem to not have to adhere to. I’ve thought long and hard about cutting down on leagues. Your actions are going to make my decision easier. It’s a real shame because team is the best and will continue to be the best.
-
Complain away my man, the league is what we decide it is. I expected a level of competition here that was shown to be false. No harm no foul, it happens. I fought for the league I wanted this to be, even if it is a casual $20 league, because I like the competition I find here. The league felt differently and I can't fault anyone for that.
And if anyone else wants some young players or prospects from my roster hit me up, I won't be using them so they will go to the highest bidder.
