Y'all. We'll get this date set! We had some preference against Weds, now we have some against Thurs and Friday by Knight. Do we want to do tomorrow OR push till next week? If we hear from enough of the league, tomorrow (Tues) could be best for our group.
-
3/18-19 are like the only 2 days I can't do. If that's what's best for everone else I can try and find someone to draft for me though
-
That works for me. Looking forward to it
-
Works for me as well!
-
Good here too.

Me too
-
Works for me.
-
If 3/18 @ 8:30pm Eastern doesn’t work for all, we’ll go to the doodle survey option. Cheers, league.
-
Maybe we should make a doodle to nail down a date and time?
-
Next two weeks Daylight savings makes it a bit easier as someone pointed out.
-
Any is fine, I'll make it work.
-
So the 6 hr delay will make a long night for Knight no matter what. Which day next week is best for you, Knight, work and family wise? Looks like Tues Thurs Fri are our leading contenders.
-
An hour probably doesn't matter much, but we'll be in daylight savings time during the draft, most of Europe won't (starts 3/14 in the USA, 3/28 in the EU).
-
I prefer earlier in the day if possible (9 ET is 3 am for me) but if I have to make it work I will.
-
I can do any day between now and opening day *except* next Saturday.
-
As a side note, if any of you are looking to take over a non-Ottoneu team one of my leagues has an opening. It’s a 12 teamer hosted on CBS; 6x6 H2H categories with 15 keepers. $100 buy-in. Very active league. I’ve been apart of it for about five years but others have been members for 12+. Message me privately if you’re interested and I will send a link to review the roster.
Otherwise, looking forward to our auction sometime next week.
-
All my other drafts and auctions are scheduled for the next two weekends so weekdays next week would be perfect. I’d prefer mid-late next week just so I can prep a bit more for this format. After 8p also works fine for me
-
Only days next week I can’t do are Wednesday or Saturday, the other nights/times should work for me.
-
Time slots work here too.

Also good with 8:30 or 9 Eastern. If possible I'd lean towards middle-ish of next week, say Tuesday 3/16 or Wed 3/17? That would give folks a few days to prep and then still give about 2 weeks for trades and working out rosters. I'm possibly unavailable Monday but any other evening next week should work for me.
-
8:30 or 9:00 Eastern is great for me. Weekdays are also good - any of the days you listed work for me.
-
My personal draft preferences are later evening (so I can help put kids to bed) something like 8:30 or 9pm eastern and I prefer sooner than later so we have time to consider trades before opening day. If we're in different time zones, this may not be ideal and I can be flexible. I could do this coming Friday, Monday, Tues, Weds... what do y'all think? If we get some general preferences then we can vote on exact dates/times.
-
Hey everyone, looks like I claimed the last team. Side pot etc all sounds fine to me, any word on a draft date?
-
Works for me.
-
Works for me as well
-
Sounds good here.

I think that’s a good idea. I’m fine with a lower payout this season for the reasons you cited. I’m also totally fine with Wub’s cuts. Looking forward to a fun & competitive season.
-
The new Harvesters owner is the champ in both our other mutual leagues... welcome, Hook, a force to be reckoned with. Glad to have you, new Laser Show. We've in the past run a side pot on LeagueSafe because it's less admin fees than the Ottoneu site. I'd vote to do it again, albeit a smaller side pot because of the league turnover. Of course, whatever the league decides is good. How about $30 apiece in the side pot (for $50 total investment) and we debate raising it / staying the same each year?
-
Hi all. I just claimed Laser Show. Haven't played Ottoneu in a number of years but am excited to be back in the fold and looking forward to getting to know you all / the season.

Hi everyone, I just claimed Harvesters of Sorrow. Looks like a fun team. This makes my third league with Not a Golfer, I guess I enjoy tough competition. Do we have a draft date / side pot?
-
NotAGolfer, totally agree with you
-
My view is that Wub should be able to make the late cuts. This format takes some getting used to and without letting him, there's no way he gets a fun draft / way to remake the team how he wants. Does anyone disagree? If not, I'll cut the guys he's requested in a couple days.
-
J Votto as well. There. Done. Thanks.
-
I'd be looking to cut the following if possible: S Kingery, W Calhoun, H Dozier, M Smith, R Cano, C Sale, M Boyd, L Jackson, H Neris, A Ottavino, V Velasquez, T Kahnle. Thanks.
-
All: Laser let me know he had something unexpected happen and he can't commit the time. So, we'll need a few more. Then, we can vote on how the year should look. Keep up the search in other leagues/friends!
-
Wubalubadubdub the reason your roster is locked is because you made 3 cuts when you claimed the team on 21 Feb - that was your one shot to make cuts. Sounds like you didn't realize that - you'll need to send your cuts to a commish to make for you at this point, there is no way that I'm aware of to 'unlock' the team for another round of cuts.
-
I also joined because of the payout - ok with skipping it for a year because so many new owners, but we should have a goal to get it re-implemented by next season.
-
I'm sorry I'm not really willing to revisit it. Maybe it's my own fault for not looking at the settings but I assumed $20 was $20, not $20 plus. The only way I'm ever betting is if I draft the team from scratch.

I’m fine with or without a payout this season. That said, I generally prefer playing in money leagues, so as long as we can revisit the idea in the off-season I’m all in. Part of the reason I jumped into this league was because of the $50 buy-in sneakily tucked away on the league settings page
-
I'm cool with no payout. Personally if we're going to play for money I would want to build the whole roster up.

We can vote on how/whether to keep it up, but we'd been running a $20 league w/ no Ottoneu payout (as you can see in the settings), then using LeagueSafe to hold a separate buy-in. We could do no side $ this year because of the turnover, or could do $20, $30, or $50 apiece. I'm happy with whatever.
-
Side pot?

I'm good with that. And wanted to introduce myself to the group, I recently took over the team formerly known as Bad Team but Don't Like Cheaters - really looking forwarded to getting to know you all and getting started
-
YES! The league is filling up slowly but surely. WUB, I am not sure how to unlock you. You should have had one "cut" opportunity upon taking over. If the league is OK with it, I'm happy letting you have another round of cuts (I can do them manually as commish) and that should bring your roster back valid. What say you, league mates? Next, we'll get the side pot set up and pick a draft day. We've used league safe in the past.
-
Can I get my roster unlocked please?
-
I meant Marmot

Hey guys, just claimed Lebowski. Still trying to get the hang of Ottoneu but I've been playing fantasy for several years now.

Hey all - I may have two owners as a package for the last two teams. Will try to get it done today so we can plan draft.
-
welcome aboard. A friend of mine just claimed Sanchez as well. He's a long time roto dynasty player.

Hi all. I just claimed Lord Have Mercy On My Team. Very much looking forward to this season. I am new to Ottoneu but have played for 10+ years in various other dynasty salary cap leagues. I've read through the rules pretty extensively but I hope you'll forgive any stupid questions I may have from time to time. For now I'm orienting myself with the roster and league settings and will probably make cuts soon. Are there any specific deadlines I need to be wary of? Happy to be here. Thanks guys
