Sounds like the majority is good with the 4 matchup option, so I just updated our league settings to now have 4 matchups per 7-day matchup period. Remember we are also switching to a max of 7 games started per matchup period by SPs this year, which we voted on last season.
-
Ditto everyone else. Two or four matchups per week works for me, whatever the league decides.
-
I’m good with the 4 matchups per week as well.

I am good with the 4 game option.

We will all be in the same boat so I am ok with whatever the majority goes with. Excited to watch baseball again and see how this all works out

I agree on the 4 matchups per week option. In case anyone hasn't seen yet, see COVID update #3 at the top of the league page to read up on what Ottoneu is doing. If the season starts 7/23 or 7/24, and assuming week 1 goes though 8/2, that leave 6 regular season weeks and 3 one-week playoff rounds. The 4-matchup per week option allows us to essentially quadruple the schedule and eliminate some of the luck involved in a 6 week season. Thoughts from the group? Other concerns?
-
Any thought of moving to the 4 game a week option for this season?

Ok looks like we might have a baseball season this year. Not sure how ottonue will handle the 60 game season but I am looking to move a pitcher. I will be looking to move Jake Flaherty or luzardo Between their age and cost I will want a great young outfielder in return. Send me offers or messages to get the ball rolling. Heres hoping for a 2020 season

Hi everyone - your team should be updated with all players from couchmanagers. I will review everything tonight/tomorrow to make sure all dollar amounts are accurate. I’m the meantime, feel free to start normal post-auction procedures: trades, start auctions, cuts, etc
-
Check the couchmanagers message board. I just reduced the nomination times to 12 hours and 6 hours. The draft will pause from 2:30-6:30am EST each night to people sleeping don't miss out, but the 6 hour reduced time should help a lot during the day. I also attempted to increase nominations to 3 each.
-
Reminder: auction starts in two hours.
-
My bad - should be good now!
-
It says I do not have anyone on my roster. Let me know if I'm not looking at the right thing, but I think i am
-
Auction will start Wednesday at 9:30am PST. 24 hour auction clocks per player, renewed to 12 hours when a new high bid occurs. Look at the page options on the right if you want automated emails when you get outbid, etc. Each manager nominates two players at a time. Please continue to nominate players to keep things moving instead of sitting back.
-
The auction on coachmanagers is ready to go with the exception of Pax Romana, who has not joined the auction yet. Everyone please check your team for accuracy. I obviously did not add the players voted off your team, and we'll all have to remember the $5 discount for the former owner when the player gets nominated. Onbasehunters has Roberto Ramos as a keeper on Ottoneu, but CM does not have him in the player pool, so I added Peter Bourjos for $2 as a proxy for Ramos int he draft room.
-
Acuna Matata is going to join tonight or tomorrow. He just messaged me to tell you guys

If you haven’t joined the couchmanagers auction, please do so soon. I’d like to start this week.

Got it fixed and I could have done it without all of you knowing how really stupid I am.
-
If I can make one mistake I can make a dozen!!! I went on to couchmanager before I read all the messages(becuase i am so smart I don't need to do that!). So I set up my Kargo name and a password etc and had an account, but I could not access "Ottoneu" so I set up a new account with id of Kargorman. so when I joined that is what is there instead of my team (Indian Rocks Beach). Sorry for the mess up. Thanks.
-
For those who were on the fence about the slow auction: most are converted after 1 day to prefer slow to live because it's actually more fun when you have a board of 24 players to bid on. Make sure you understand that when you set a high bid on a player, that allows the system to bid for you (like eBay). I predict this auction will last about a week. As we go, we can speed up the times if we prefer.
-
Updated Slow auction --> please use this link to join the couchmanagers auction. For those of you who joined the other league, I'd encourage you to use the "leave auction" feature in order to not confuse the two on couchmanagers. Either way, the first league auction will never start, so it should be easy to keep them straight. Join here: https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/?auction_id=377
-
Sorry for all the messages today - just realized we don't have a corner infield spot, so the auction I set up is wrong. Will set up a new one later and send out the link, so hold off on joining. Apologize to Colin and Acuna who already joined.
-
For me, change team name is under "Auction Settings" in the bottom right.
-
sounds good. im registered, but my team name is ryan.fleming. tryin to figure out how to change.
-
Draft settings: We can change these settings if people prefer, but I set it up so everyone may nominate 2 players at once for a max of 24 players actively auctioned at any time. This will be a first for many of us, so I don't want to overwhelm us with additional nominations. Each player is auctioned for 24 hours. If a new high bid occurs during hours 12-24, the auction clock for that player only resets to 12 hours. You can set up alerts for when you've been outbid. Play around with it.
-
EVERYONE - please make an account on couchmanagers.com and join our auction using the link at the end of this message. Follow the link and click one of the red "join" links under "teams". The password for our auction is "Ottoneu". After you have joined, I'll assign your current keepers. https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/?auction_id=376
-
At this point, all teams have participated in the draft poll and the best times result in only 8 managers being able to make a live auction. So I think our best option is a slow auction draft on Couchmanagers.com. It's free except a pricey $3 for me to set up. I think we should start next Wednesday March 4th, which gives us 3 weeks to complete before opening day. We'll likely finish faster, but I don't want to take any chances pushing up against opening day. Let me know of any complaints ASAP.
-
FYI. I am very flexible for either format but prefer later dates after mid March if possible.
-
We've had 10 responses so far and the leading options only have 6 yes responses, so I think we're looking at doing a slow draft in March. I'll explore Couch Managers and report back.
-
I'm east coast but with 2 little kids no way I can do a weekend afternoon for a live auction. 9:30pm et works fine any weekday but it would be nice to cap the night at 12midnight.

If you haven't filled out your availability for a live auction, please do so using the Doodle link above. We might be looking at a slow auction that Bluegrass suggested.
-
I know we have at least 4 west coasters, so anything before 6pm PST is tough for those folks.
-
Starting that late ET is really difficult at night. There are weekend days where it works, but the midweek stuff isn't gonna be easy. Are most of those in the league out on the west coast?

The sooner we can get a date, the better. Chances are I will take the day after off, so I won't have to wake up super early to drive into the city for work.
-
EVERYONE - please use the following link to vote on your availability for a live auction draft. I think we'll only need one window, but please indicate your availability for as many windows as you can. You can change your vote at a later date if your plans change. https://doodle.com/poll/43qvvwn6a58eu4fh

I would prefer to go the fast auction route as well as long as we can find a time(s) that everyone can participate. If we're struggling to find a time, then slow we'll do a slow auction.
-
I would also prefer a regular auction that we do live.
-
I much prefer a regular auction that we do live and get done over the course of a day or a couple days. It's just easier.

Slow Auction
-
Some color on the couchmanagers experience in case we do consider it: we control the every variable but generally groups set each team to two nominations at a time (so there would be 24 players up for auction at once in this league); each MLB player has a 24 hour auction window and when a new, high bid comes in the player resets to 12 hours; the whole thing takes several days to a whole week pending the amount of players needing auctioned and the speed we prefer.
-
I prefer mid-March and fast pace.
-
I tend to agree with AZ, but more so because I've never done a slow draft/auction before. Bluegrass -- how does CouchManagers work? How frequently are players put up for auction/won? I'd be worried about managers missing out on a player they really want to bid on because they get caught up at work or doing others things for a few hours and can't participate.
-
I prefer the fast pace of the current auction setup. Only reason I would possibly be interested in this if we can not get the entire group together to do the auction

We used CouchMangers for the other two auctions (slow auctions that run over the course of a week). It's so much more comfortable to run an auction that way instead of a line one. I highly recommend considering it for this league.
