I think you need to turn the draft off commish
-
The system won't allow for any cuts even with a penalty until after the draft, unfortunately
-
When I ask, I know it'd still come with a cap penalty!

Welcome!
Question, do we have to wait until after the draft to cut someone?

Welcome aboard! Happy to have you.

Welcome aboard!

Welcome! Let me know if you run into any problems with the cost free cuts

Hi everyone, I have just taken over the Mexican Spotted Owls. Looking forward to an exciting season!
-
Anybody got a friend interested in playing this year? I'm about to start canvassing the Ottoneu slack for a new owner.
-
Yeah I kinda agree. I think if we got like 6 it would make sense. I'm ambivalent about it myself so I'll just follow what the majority wants.
-
If there are only 4 solid yeses, I don't think that's enough support to push through a change with money involved
-
I am not interested in participating in raising price for league.
-
Sorry, had to be away for a few days. Not sure if the fee will retroactively rise if ppl already paid it but there's 4 yes and 2 no with the others a maybe. I can push through the change tonight if there's no more objections
-
I'm in favor of going to $50, but not if we can't get our act together in time
-
Will any vote on increasing price tier affect this season since we all have to re-up in 3 days?

March 16th works for me too. As for the price tier I would suggest either $50 or $75 and we can move up from there in the future depending on what everyone thinks.
If anyone is interested in trading I will consider any trade that lowers my cap space as I am well over the cap before making my cuts.

That Sunday works for me as well. Also OK with keeping price tier as is.
-
I should have mentioned I'm open to whatever prize tier everyone else favors
-
That Sunday works for me as well! I'm down for whatever you decide for fee/winnings. If people are rebuilding that shouldn't matter.. that's part of the process! I'm in a dynasty football league and I lost out on hundreds the first few years while rebuilding/flipping team but now my team is a force for years to come!

Thanks, Commissioner. That Sunday works for me
-
A couple notes:
1. Everyone please remember to make your cuts by the 1/31 deadline. BTW, I'm open to trades if anyone has interest in some of my players pre-cut.
2. I tentatively set the draft day for the last Sunday before opening day - let me know if you can't make it.
3. Fixed the H2H playoff scoring to be consistent. Totally missed the setting last year, it's kinda hidden.
4. Let me know if you've got anyone in mind to join. We've got one opening (Mexican Spotted Owls
-
Looking at the prize tier, I’m not in favor of increasing. Even with making the odds better by granting the pool fee is really $30 (we already pay the $20), almost 6:1 odds is not great (my FF league gives me 10-1 since 2nd place just gets $ back) and unclear why 3rd place gets $50 instead of $30 back. But more broadly I’m uncomfortable in a keeper league asking people to pay when they know they’re in a rebuild year(s) and just giving money away (and also members may just not want to gamble)

Hopefully none of you live in Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, or Washington State (ineligible for prizes). Otherwise, the prizes for even the next tier up seem decent enough: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/prizeterms
-
What are the options for price tiers? And would it go towards a prize pool for the winner?

Crap, I didn't even realize and probably screwed up the setting on the playoffs. I'll definitely make it consistent.
I'm down for whatever the rest of the league wants for the price tier. So feel free to shoot me a message (or post here) with thoughts, everybody!
-
Just to get ahead of it - have we decided whether we want to move up a price tier? Also, for the playoffs, H2H scoring was cool, but could we set it to H2H SABR points instead of H2H FanGraphs, just so the points values are the same for both the regular season and playoffs?
-
So far, there's one team not coming back next year so if anyone has a replacement in mind, shoot me a message!
Likewise, if you don't want to renew please let me know ASAP so we can start looking for people.
Side note, I'm happy it's not looking like another wild card World Series lol!
-
Congrats Coom Dogs. Thanks all for another good season...
-
Congrats Smith! Excited to get this nightmare season behind me.
-
Congrats to Coom Dogs as well. Watching Iglesias falter in the ninth inning of Sunday Night Baseball and then Max Muncy hit a home run was one of the most dissapointing fantasy sports experiences for me. Still it was an exciting way to end our first season of playoffs. I hope everyone is back for next year.

It all came down to the last inning of the season. Congrats Coom Dogs
-
Uh...not trades. Didn't mean to include trades there. Trade deadline will have passed as noted before.
-
Ottoneu has roster rules for a playoff league. Any team can continue to make roster moves including cuts, adds, trades, and claims until the MLB season officially ends, irrespective of league playoff conclusion. All teams are of course still bound by the $400 salary cap and roster spots. So, those in the playoff can continue to try to win the head to head matchups while those not in the playoff can continue to build for next year.
-
Agree this is not something to worry about until later in the season, but there are legit reasons for dropping players late. Maybe we should settle on a rule long before the deadline - on one hand, I can see a rule where you shouldn't have auctions once the playoffs start. But on the other hand, that might be too rigid if players get hurt. And, what about teams out of the playoffs? - I see it as legit to drop expensive players to pick up cheap prospects when your season is basically done.
-
The trade deadline should be before the start of playoffs so that won't be an issue. If I see anything super suspicious, like IDK dropping Cole with 2 starts before a playoff week, I can always back it out. We'll cross that bridge when we get there.
-
If playoffs are a go this season, how would you address any dead teams and prevent collusion with teams that are no longer competitive?
-
Alright, playoffs win 5-3! I'll implement the change today before the draft.
Hopefully, it didn't change anyone's decision making process but I think we are all shooting to make the best team possible.
-
Yes for playoffs

My perspective is that settings changes are best made early in the offseason so managers can plan accordingly at the roster freeze deadline. I don’t know if anyone feels they would have made different choices. As an aside, I am in a playoff league (not H2H) and it does add more competition late in the season. Sounds good for the 2025 season.

No to playoffs this season
-
Yes on playoff

No. (Prefer to revisit after this season ends)

Let's do a final, "yes", "no" vote on playoffs today...I see too many "maybes" to make a definitive count but I think it's either 3-3 or 4-3 in favor. Reply "yes" if in favor of playoff option 3 I linked to earlier (top 4 teams, skips last week of season). Will close the poll at midnight to give me time to implement before the draft if the vote breaks that way. I'm a No

I just claimed the abandoned team. Looking forward to a great season.
