Thanks everybody for getting your arbitration submitted. You can adjust your allocations for about another 24 hours, if you need (especially if you want to take a few dollars away from Strider - $19, holy hell). Once arbitration wraps up, trades are fair game until the keeper deadline at the end of January.
-
Just a reminder that arbitration is up and running. Also, we are looking for two owners to take over Bonilla and Youngbloods. If you know anybody that might be interested, send them my way. I'm hoping to fill both openings by the end of arbitration (Nov 14).
-
Great season, y'all. Enjoy the playoff baseball and we'll see you back here in a few weeks for arbitration.
-
Congrats to Duke, Young Larry, and Total Rebuild. A strong end to the season.
-
Spppshhhhh I still have two more days to over take 1st 😂
-
Congrats Craictastic

Also, just as a reminder, the deadline to start an auction is 11:59pm (Eastern) tonight. If you have any shopping you need to do before rosters are frozen for the offseason, better get on it.
-
Make some for me. Got no chance here but I'm 20th out of 5,000 player season long a nationwide game and I'll be watching carefully ....

Grabbing my popcorn and beer for a fun night of scoreboard watching. Gotta get that fantasy baseball fix in because winter is coming.

Would be quite the comeback from Larry if he can pull it off. It looked like Dukes was running away with it for a while and Larry was in 5th on 8/1. Best of luck to the both of you!
-
Yeah man! A finish like this is why I play. Good luck to you all!

Looks like we could have a hell of a final week in store. Young Larry and I are in a virtual dead heat based on p/g and p/ip. My innings are done and I only have a handful of games left, so it'll come down to the quantity and quality of the final games and innings Young Larry can put out there. And Total Rebuild and Harmless Errors are in a virtual dead heat for the last money spot. Fun way to end the season.
-
Happy Bobby Bonilla Day to all those other than me who celebrate
-
The highest earning bat in the game is available. Lettuce trade.
-
Happy Opening Day!
-
agreed, let's just make sure this is evenly enforced.

Understood, I’ll make a cut this evening

All good. Commish, use your discretion. Im on board with whatever you decide. Thanks

If we relax the rules before OD, we create a situation where a team could carry 45 (or 50, or 60) players (if this idea is extended to it's logical end) without a clear mechanism for enforcing fair play. From a league management standpoint, it seems much clearer and straight forward to require roster compliance.
-
Total Rebuild cites the correct portion of the rules, and we've handled it in a similar way in the past (commish makes a cut). I am not in favor of relaxing rules before Opening Day, as it creates a slippery slope situation. While some guys are clearly going to go on the 60-day, there's no clear way to distinguish which injured guys will and won't open a roster spot. We're not going to be in the business of speculating about that, so we'll go by when teams officially put players on the IL.
-
It's league dependent. Usually it's cuts to the last players added until the roster is in compliance. I've seen it every league I've played in because there is a lot of ambiguity to how rosters can be managed. But again, I'm all good if we want to relax the rules before OD.
-
It's item c. under I. ROSTERS - OVERVIEW: At no time shall 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.
-
Heard of this. I've also been commish of multiple leagues and never encountered this or seen the need for it.

If the rule is written somewhere that states the commish can intervene, I will quiet down. By not having a roster in compliance at this stage, team owner is still following the rules and using them cleverly. Why would the commish be empowered to make a cut for someone else? Couldn't they just cut the team's best player? Team owner is already being penalized with an out of compliance roster. I've played ottoneu for about 5 years now in multiple leagues each year at different price tiers and never

I also believe it should be discretion of the owner given penalties are already laid out on the site. However, I'll comply with what the commissioner rules. I would say that we have to be consistent and not allow for exceptions to the 48 hour rule irrespective of how rational they are (e.g. a guy may soon be going on 60 day).
-
I'm the one who said something to Dukes. By not being in compliance, you get an extra look at players that shouldn't be on your roster. You'd be able to carry as many players as you wanted after the auction if there was no penalty. Every league I've played in has a 48 hour window to have a legal roster which is why I said something. If we want to be lenient in between the auction and OD, I'm fine with that.
-
I’m also not in compliance, but I will be when Lux hits the 60. At this stage in the season it shouldn’t be a big deal right?
-
Seems like it would be the business of the team owner whether or not the team is in compliance. The penalty is you cannot make roster moves or set lineup?

Hey. Im clearly the culprit. Sorry about that. Figured I had until the season started to make the cut decision. Thanks for clarifying and I'll make a cut tonight.
-
Hey all, just a reminder that once the draft occurs, rosters must be in full compliance with the rules (i.e. must be under the roster and salary cap limits). If your roster has been out of compliance for 48 hours, I'll have to swoop in and make fixes unilaterally. Let's keep an eye on this - I'd rather not have to exercise this portion of my commish powers.
-
Then this draft, I have three breaks in my draft. The first one sees 2 players go for what I want to bid for them because a co-worker wants to ask me about work. The second one sees three for the same reason. The third one I get booted from the draft because my turn to nominate had come up. Other people got to not only skip a turn but also bid right after. The commish skipped his own turn later. Aren’t we a rules-based league? This is weird to me.

I don’t understand why drafts can’t be alternated between Asia night, US morning and US night, Asia morning. Because I would love to crack a beer in the comfort of my home too. I mean I get that no one wants to draft in the morning but isn’t that a reason to alternate?

Fairness. I hope I don’t come off as high and mighty here, but the idea of fairness is important to me, especially in a rules based contest like this. So last year, I was struggling to both work at my job and draft at the same time, I complained that the commish put the draft on Asia Monday morning when he never made an option for US Friday morning and I was told to quit the league. This year I took two hours off of work, costing me $150 in income, to try to draft well. I hope it’s worth it.

Hey all. See you in just under 24 hours for the draft.
-
Hey everybody. Just to clarify, we will be sticking with the listed draft time (March 4 at 9pm EST). Looking forward to it!
-
I'll message you, Kasugai.
-
Saturday, March 4 at 9:00 pm EST is the worst possible time for me. I'm in Taiwan and that will be the morning after this wedding I'm attending.
-
I don't believe I marked myself available March 3 or 4. I have a wedding to attend. Can we not find a date closer to Opening Day?
-
march 4th ok
-
Either date works for me as well.
-
March 4th works for me!
-
I'm good with either of those dates.

How about March 4 at the same time?
-
Apologies, as I would normally have no problem with a change, but I have another auction scheduled on March 3rd for the same time.
-
Hey all, I've had a schedule change and need to shift our draft time. According to the poll I sent out, everybody is available March 3 at 9pm US Eastern time. If your availability has changed, let me know. If I don't hear from anybody in the next 48-72 hours, I'll go ahead and make the change.
-
Starting one hour later gets us another two people who can be there right from the start (including one on the East Coast). We have people from all over the globe, so there are a number of owners who are already being flexible with their time. My appreciation in advance for the continued grace around the draft time.
