Well done CV for the win and thanks everybody for another good season.
Unfortunately I’m going to cut back on Fantasy ball next season, so this is me saying take care and goodbye
-
Congrats to the winners this season. It's been great playing with you all, but I just took a new job and I have to take a big step back from Ottoneu. I'm going to mark my team abandoned, but hopefully someone will be able to step up and co-commish with Ottavino
-
Good season all!
-
Thanks to everyone for a wonderful season. It’s better to be lucky than good. Stay safe and be well, Chris.

Congratulations to Cinema Verite and thanks to everyone except Jake for another fun and competitive season! Thrilled to have made the podium, it was a real tight race with Bulls on Paredes.
Enjoy the playoffs and don’t forget about Arbitration.
-
Thanks to everyone who responded, Tuesday 3/19 was unanimous so we’ll go with that. Draft a streamer for the Korea series at your own risk.
-
10 March is no good for me
Otherwise I’ll work around other drafts
-
I can make nearly any weekday evening or weekend work, so long as it isn’t this week.

Let’s try to find a date that works for everyone, I think it ended up being a Thursday last year.
-
I unfortunately have another draft that same day and time, but if it works for everyone else I can find a proxy for this draft or the other.
-
I have it set at Wednesday 3/13 at 5:30 PST/ 8:30 EST. If that’s a conflict for anyone, let me know and we’ll set up a poll.
-
Already have several drafts on 10 and 11 March.
In the UK, so anything before 8pm EDT is better but I’ll make it work otherwise
-
March 1,11,16 and 17 are the dates that I can't draft on. Any other times are good for me.
-
Weeknights, weekend afternoons OK with me.
-
Anyone have thoughts about draft date/time? Weeknights are generally best for me but can be flexible
-
Welcome to the league!
-
Welcome Umbachs 😃

Just claimed Tastes Good With White Wine. Glad to be in this league, which seems active, judging by the number of recent off-season emails. I'll be changing the team name and making my round of cuts soon. This looks like a decent team, I'll try not to mess it up.
-
Welcome to the new owner of Lightsabermetrics. You have one round of free cuts. If you have any questions, please ask. In other news, I'll take on being co-commissioner for the moment, but I don't deal with the sidepot. We just need to get a draft happening.

Hey all, sorry for the delay. A quick update, I'm still planning on participating this year but I'm flying home at the end of this week for an indefinite amount of time to help my mom through her chemo treatment. My schedule is all over the place now, so I think in order to properly manage this league we'll need to recruit another co-commish to help with the draft and such. Is there anyone (maybe ideally 2 people) who have the time to co-commish?
-
Just a friendly reminder to renew your teams and get your cuts in tonight by 11:59PM ET
-
Fair enough. Thanks for the answer.

No that’s the beauty of the side pot; it’s completely voluntary and will be prized will be paid out according to the final standings of those who participate.
-
Is the side pot mandatory for playing in the league?

We already had one league member renew, so I can’t convert this league into a prize league for this season. That actually simplifies things a bit b/c I can setup a side pot for anyone who wants to play for $$$. I’ll get that setup in LeagueSafe and send out an invite along with some general rules I’ve seen work in other leagues that we can modify to our liking.
-
If you're waiting on me to say yes to the $50 level for the league, don't wait any longer. There's only two weeks to renew, so this has to be resolved quickly. The majority of the league wants to go to the $50 level. That's the decision.

Thanks for the welcome! I’m in for a prize league.

Welcome to the new owner of the Oakland B’s. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them.

Secondly, wrt transitioning to a prize league, if you check the message board from last year we had discussed it then but b/c people had already paid dues we weren't able to make the transition. So I was hoping to get that done this year before people pay dues. It seems like those in favor of a prize league want a $50 league, and there are a few folks who are hesitant. If you are hesitant and money is an issue, DM me and I'm sure we can figure something out.
-
Hey all, sorry I've been a bit absent in the commish'ing role here. A couple things, we had a team abandon and then be claimed, only to have that new owner ask to abandon pretty quickly. Not sure what happened there, but I just reversed the only move that owner made. So as of right now, we have The Oakland B's available on the team claim page.

Reminder that arbitration ends tomorrow (11/14). If you cannot get arb done, please LMK ASAP.
-
I’m open to a prize league - count me in for next year either way.
-
I will stay in the league if is 50 dollars. I do understand people not wanting a money league. Thanks
-
Fun year and congrats to Musial Suspects. I’m okay with a little money on it next year, but I’d definitely prefer $50 or less.
-
Well done to Musial for the win
If the majority want to go for a prize league, fair enough - put it to a vote but I’d only go for a low $25/30 entry, as I’m already in too many leagues
-
Who decided that we should move to a prize league? I like Ottoneu the game, but I do not like playing for money. If we are making this major change, there should be consultation with the league.

Finally, this upcoming season should be our first prize league season. Our options will be 1) $100 2) $75 or 3) $50. Please respond with which option(s) you'd prefer. Thanks!
-
Congrats to those who podiumed! Had a great battle for 2nd that came down to the wire. And even though he placed 2nd, Leif let me know that he's not returning to the league next year. But we've already got a replacement owner in Justin Vibber, which means next year should will continue to be really competitive. If anyone else is planning on not returning, please let me know ASAP.
-
Indeed, four wins in the last five years!
-
A toast to the Musial Suspects, once again showing us how it is done.

I live in Arkansas and my phone and internet is down because of the storms. I’m at a McDonald’s twenty miles from my home.

Hey folks! Just a quick reminder that this league is OPL eligible. If you finished 6th or above last season you can enter your squad to compete across all of Ottoneu in a super fun best ball format. Check out the rules & enter a squad here: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/opl/

Locked in for the draft this Thursday - looking forward to it!
-
Are we locked in for 3/16, or was that just a placeholder date?

Below is a link to the Doodle; let's use it to first find the day that works best for all of us, and then we can finalize time via message board. Generally speaking we'll try to do later in the evening if we choose a weekday (e.g. 6PM PST or later), and might have some more flexibility if we choose a weekend. If we don't have a date that works for all of us, then we'll find the best possible option and deal with proxies.
-
Welcome to the new owners and thanks for filling out the league! We're officially full so we can move to the next step of this madness, trying to find ~90-120 minutes when we're all free to draft.
