Yes, $400 is your salary cap for the year. Free agents are acquired through a 48 hour auction and releasing players during the season can result in a cap penalty. Having some cap room could be helpful but depends on your draft strategy.
-
Yeah most things I've seen suggest you save $10-20 for use during the season
-
Quick question: Should we have leftover money after draft for FA? In other words, is our draft budget our budget for the year? Rules didn't make it clear, although I assumed budget also = draft budget (just have to make sure).
-
Excited for tonight, folks. A couple of thoughts heading in... 1) Let's all try to get into the draft room 15-20 minutes early (or as early as possible). This let's us all familiarize ourselves with the auction room, get comfortable, and survey any technical annoyances we face. 2) For those who have not done an auction before, most people recommend manually bidding, rather than the "+$1" bid button, so you don't get stuck "+$1-ing" a bid that was not what you expected.
-
I don't think I have a specific number of rounds/bids in mind. More of a time frame... 8:00 pm EST to 10:30-11:00 pm EST... and we will see where that lands us.
-
How many rounds are we looking to knock out tomorrow night?

I don't remember exactly how I joined, but I do remember watching a Youtube video about the community (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=49Wgj84vKi0).

I've been trying to get on Slack but I haven't been able to. I'm probably just being stupid, but could somebody point me in the right direction?
-
Looking forward to it! Just a note - if anyone finds out they can't make it on Tuesday - you can always ask for a proxy drafter in the Ottoneu Slack community. Since there is no auto draft - if you don't show, you won't get any players :)

Hoping everyone's brackets are mostly still intact - Yesterday seemed pretty tame, so we'll see how much carnage there is today. Just touching base and reminding everyone that we are drafting Tuesday evening at 8:00 PM EST.
-
Most excellent! I'll go ahead & nominate Mike Trout for $1.
-
Welcome aboard! Guess what, folks? It looks like we have a full league!
-
Hello all, looking forward to this league! I am very flexible for draft times. All of the proposed dates and times work for me

The week of the 24th works for me. Looking forward to my first Ottoneu draft.
-
That's good by me--I might have trouble signing in on the night of Sat 3/25, but 3/21 and 3/24 no problem.
-
Works for me.

I actually think that could work if it does for everyone else. Tuesday night the 21st to get a good start (it might have to be 8pm to 1030pm EST, and then finish with a long session on the 24th?
-
Since I am the main hold up on doing the few days before the 24th, I can clear a couple hours the night of 21st - Could we do like 7 pm EST to 9:30 pm EST that night and to the rest on the 24th?
-
MarlonByrd and I are going to be unavailable from the 25th until Opening Day. Any way we can do the first session on the night of the 12th, 14th, 15th, or 16th with the second session either one of those dates or the 24th? Sorry to be a pain about it guys, just trying to work around other stuff.
-
It would be tough for me to make the 25th work, but could do the 24th easily. I'm going to be traveling basically all day on the 25th
-
Welcome aboard, Happ's. In light of Bryzzo's need to do it 3/24 and beyond... MarlonByrd: Would you be able to do it Saturday, the 25th or any time between the 24th and the few days after?
-
Just joined the league (looking forward to it as well!). I'm good with with most draft dates (including what has been proposed so far) as long as it starts after 7pm EST.

Same here; I'm going to be unavailable the weekend of the 17th-19th but should be OK week of the 20th thru that weekend.

Any date from the 20th-24th at 8-11:30PM EST could work for me. Can be available that weekend if needed as well. Looking forward to it.
-
I can do as early as 3 MDT on 3/24 as well needed that night
-
Just joined - really looking forward to it. First time in an Ottoneu league but I have been looking for something more in depth for awhile. I am all for dividing the draft into 2 night, however, I am traveling the week before the draft and will be on a plane on 3/23. Any way we can do 3/24 and a later date? (Sorry to be high maintenance right off the bat).
-
Works for me

Just signed into the league, thanx Daniel. Draft dates and times work fine for me--Youngblood

Works for me
-
It might end up being:
First half: ~8:00ish (EST) - 11:30ish on the 23rd
Finish: ~8:00ish (EST) - Finish on the 24th
If that sounds like it can work.
-
I can do the 20th-24th as well
-
Yeah I could do any night the week before too, from the 20th to the 24th as well.
-
I've heard these drafts can be brutally long (6-7 hours), so I'd be fine splitting it up over two days. I can draft any night that week (the 20th-24th) as long as it starts no earlier than 6PM mountain time. Those aren't the only times I'm available, but just to get an idea.
-
Personally one long session on Friday the 24th works best for me. If we do split it, I wouldn't be able to do the second half until Sunday April 2nd (which is also Opening Day).
-
Hello all,
We are still working to schedule the draft time and deciding whether it will be one long session or two shorter sessions.
That said, comment here with any no-can-dos and preferences for draft days/times.
