Son of a bitch.

Thank you for the 1 hr push, Do NOT wait for me. I am not to be the cause of 11 mgrs cooling their bid fingers. I plan to be on time. I should be on time.....things happen.. Do not wait for me. Good luck, Have fun.
-
Yeah unfortunately doing it later on the 11th wouldn’t help me. Feb 27 works for me
-
Lock in Thursday Feb 27 9 p.m. EST. (8 PM CST). Thank you for the consideration. ...Barrels of Babes. (and 5 # of possum. Ask if you want)
-
March 4th will not work for me. The 11th i would want to start at 830 or later.
-
@barrels of babes - if we went later on Feb 27, could you make it work?
@american pastoral - if we went later on Mar 11, could you make it work?
@MarkQuis Grissoms - if we went later on Mar 4, could you make it work?

*Thursday, Feb. 27
*Tuesday, March 4 (9 +1 if need be)
*Tuesday, March 11

SABR-tooth, you'll usually find that the auction starts slower while most people still have $$ and roster spots to fill, but speeds up as it goes along. 2-2.5 hours is a reasonable expectation. Unlike some leagues, Ottoneu isn't won or lost in the draft - the free agent universe is wide and deep, and the FA market is active all season.
-
I'd guess it will take 2 to 2 and half hours for the draft.
-
GTK. Tues March 11 (311 day!) works for everyone who has voted. just waiting for the other half to vote.
-
how long do the drafts usually last?
-
Thank you for setting up a pool. My preference would be no on the slow draft. I think a live auction is the best route with an established league. I'm open to opinions. Nominations are required, during the draft we have historically let you "miss" one nomination and then you are locked out for a cycle from bidding. I plan on continuing to enforce that.
-
just voted. i'll b out of town on the weekends snowboarding, so i can't flex as i don't have service. is slow drafting possible? are we requiring nominations? never done an auction b4 so this is all new to me.
-
I made a poll to gauge draft availability. No login needed. I suggested 8-11 p.m. EST weeknight slots and generally two Sunday slots (3-6 p.m. EST and 6-9 p.m. EST). Skipped Saturdays except for March 15 (season starts March 18 in Tokyo.) Please vote on every time slot. I’ll share results when we have a quorum.

4 weeks out from opening day so definitely need to nail down draft date. Might need to be weekday with several others coming up on weekends.

Also in favor of getting a draft date pinned down!
-
Hey Commish - any thoughts on a draft date? I have some days reserved for already scheduled drafts, and I imagine other folks are in similar situations.
-
Welcome to the league, new managers!
-
Hi! I just claimed Rookie Card! I hope that was okay. I'm new to Ottoneu and I think I'm aligned with how things are supposed to work, but please let me know if I've overstepped or something as I'm happy to walk it back. Thanks and looking forward to playing!
-
I have marked Rookie Card as abandoned. If anyone can find another manager let me know. They will have the opportunity to have penalty free cuts once they join.
-
It was. I have a message out to him regarding his status .
-
Yesterday was the keeper deadline, yes? Does Rookie Card still have an owner?
-
Hey guys, I took over Smoak a Seager, I look forward to competing with all of you!
-
Thanks for the seasons, Smoke!
-

-

Welcome Chef and Pat and happy holiday/hot stove season to all!
-
Hey, my name is Pat Guinane. I took over the Regional Blackouts (née Golden Bulls) recently. This will be my 6th Ottoneu season and 3rd team. Don’t have many assets I’m dying to move but will listen, especially if you have OFs to offer.
-
Hey all, I just claimed Oof, the Team. Let me know if you’d like to talk trade!
-
Hi all, I’m needing to trim down some leagues as life has become too hectic, and unfortunately this league is one of them. It’s been a pleasure competing with all of you and I hope for another fun season for the league!
-
Please don't forget to do your allocations by next week. Also, we are in need of at least 2 managers. If you know of anyone who could fill the spots, let me know.
-
Hey all. Thanks for the great season! I am probably bowing out as well. If anyone wants to take over as commish, let me know!
-
I know I'm late to the party, but congrats Hammerin!
-
Commish and owners, downsizing quite a bit from my crazy year depression where I was claiming every team or almost, thanks for the fun, but I got to slow down (time consuming and $$), please abandon my team Congrats to winners

I took on too many teams this year. Unfortunately, I need to give this one up (I am dropping teams I took on last year). Please let me know if you want me to stay on and do Arb or if you want to have me surrender now. Thanks for letting me player this year.
-
Thanks Barrels and everyone for a wild, unpredictable, and fun season!

Congrats to Hammering Hanks.
-
Tks Oof - I wasn't sure the comeback was even possible given how you stormed out to the big lead. Crazy season, finishing crazier than ever.
-
Thoroughly smoked! What a 2nd half surge, congrats Hammerin Hanks! Good luck to both you and Barrels!
-
Tks Bohms - yeah, that was kinda crazy. It sucks to have the 2nd highest score of the week and still not advance, but that's playoffs in a nutshell.
-
I had a really good week, but Hammerin had an unreal week. Congrats!
-
alright, ready to deal to contenders if you see something you like.
-
Anyone who wants Altuve for a 2nd half push, I want two good young and cheap players for him (loan will be included)

I created a bad team. Looking to make trades for youth and/or SP. Only fair offers entertained. No Ottoneu-BS unbalanced trades here.
-
If anyone cannot make the draft tonight, please let me know asap!
-
If someone wants another Otto H2H league. There are two openings in this league! Questions, DM me or just claim one of the open teams.
