Just under a week left in arbitration, and then trades will be open!
I've reached out to the teams that haven't completed yet, hopefully we'll get everyone's allocations in (besides our one abandoned team).
-
Arbitration starts tomorrow!
Men of Steal still hasn't been picked up (I think Big Papi flooded the market with abandoned teams), but I post in the Managers Wanted forum so hopefully it'll happen soon.
Hope everyone is enjoying the playoffs!
-
I’ve marked Men of Steal as abandoned, should get claimed soon. But if anyone has a friend that wants the team, let me know.
-
Please abandon my team.

Congrats to our champ, and thanks to everyone for another fun season! I can't wait for 2025 to get underway, looking to make it a big comeback year.
If anyone is thinking of not returning, please let me know ASAP. Arbitration starts on the 15th, and I'd like to try to get any new managers in the league before then so that they can participate in the process.
Enjoy the playoffs, everyone!

congrats to the winners

Yeah man, happens to the best of us. We love this game because of how complicated it is haha.
Thanks for helping out, Generous!
-
Lol no problem, good luck to you
-
Glad I’ve been in league for 6 six years and.l know the rules…For whatever reason I came into draft thinking 60 day IL guys not only provided roster spot but also 50% salary relief on the players. Thank you for the clarification and I will quietly exit the back door with my head down. Good luck this year

Guys are moved to the 60 day when their MLB teams officially place them on it, it’s not an Ottoneu adjustment. You already have three 60 day IL guys on your roster. It looks like your lineup is locked at the moment because you’re over the cap, not because you have too many players.
-
Any idea when Ottoneu adjusts for players on 60 day IL. I have $5 coming back to me in relief which will put me below $400 but my team is now flagged as illegal lineup where I cannot participate in trades/auctions

OK gents, we did it!
Rosters have been imported. I had to do a few manual fixes, but everything should be lined up. Let me know if you see an issue.
Auctions and trades are open, see you all in Seoul!
-
With the overnight sleep, I feel like a 12 hr initial clock is unnecessary. Now that I know everyone is logged in and checking, I'll change it down to 8 hr initial + 8 hr extension tomorrow morning.
-
Yeah, I just went with settings I saw in a forum somewhere. We can change things if we need it to speed it up a bit
-
Whoops never mind, I found it in Couch Manager settings, 9am ET to midnight ET
-
Sorry if this is somewhere on Couch Managers and I’m missing it, but can you remind me what hours of the day the draft clock will be running?
-
Auction started, let the nominations begin!
-
Alright folks, everyone's joined! I'll push play tomorrow at 9 AM PST, and the nominations can start.
In the meantime, please look over your roster in Couch Managers and make sure everything looks right. It all seems aligned to me, but if there are any issues I want to get them fixed before we're underway.
-
Yup! I shot him a message. We'll aim for a 9 AM PST start time the morning after we've all joined up so everyone can finish preparations.
-
so just waiting on Billy Ball then?

That was quick! Only one manager left to join.
I went ahead and loaded rosters for everyone else, so while we're waiting to start, please double check and make sure everything looks right.
Remember that positional eligibility between Ottoneu and CM isn't perfectly 1-to-1, so refer to this site to make sure of a guy's positions for the upcoming season.
-
Ok, auction created (it's free for all of you):
link: https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/index.php?auction_id=787
password: ottonew
Once you join, please "edit team name" under auction settings on the bottom right and make it as close to your team name as possible.
I'll send out an email blast too just to try to catch everyone, and we'll get going ASAP.
-
I'm ready whenever..

I am ready

Like I said below, I was planning on starting it March 1st, but I'm ready to get it going as long as everybody else is OK with it. Only takes me a few minutes to set it up, but usually a few days to get everyone logged in.
Any objections to starting ASAP?
-
Good call. I’m on a family vacation March 8 thru 17 and probably will not be able to check in very much, would love to have the slow draft wrapped up before then if at all possible.
-
so...when do we begin the slow draft?

I have a team in a $100 5x5 league that needs a new owner..it is a private league so you would need password..msg me if interested

The slow draft is great for me as I'm going to be almost completely unavailable from mid-March to early April for a regular auction draft.
-
Almost everyone is paid up!
Trades can be accepted up until the keeper deadline tonight, just keep in mind that you won't be able to cut any players that you acquire via trade anymore.
-
Under a week left to make trades, make cuts, and pay fees for the upcoming season.
-
Yeah, that’s the plan, slow auction through Couch Managers. For some reason I don’t see an option on this site to say we’re drafting offline, so just ignore the “draft date” being shown on the league page. We'll aim to start our slow draft on March 1st if that works for everyone.
-
I thought we had a slow draft? is that not the case?

Hi all, it's been a while since I played Ottoneu. If I make a 2-1 or 3-1 trade am I required to keep all the players I receive in the trade?

No worries, thanks for playing. All the best!
I’ll mark the team abandoned in a bit.
-
I know it's not a great time to leave but I cannot devote the time to this league/team that it requires so I will be leaving. It has been a fun ride and good luck to everyone in the future.

Roto 4 lyfe! Welcome, great to have you. Thanks for making us whole again.
Arb is almost over, if there are any managers with unspent funds I'll shoot them an email a couple days before the deadline.
Trade season is almost upon us!
-
What's up y'all... Excited to be here. Looking forward to some old fashioned scoring for a change.
-
Famous last words in that last message... I've not really been paying attention, but nobody has claimed Papi's team. I just advertised it on the forum and in the Slack channel, but if anyone knows someone who might be interested in claiming the team, let's get em in here since we only have a week left of arb.
-
OK thanks for the heads up, I'll mark the team abandoned in a bit. I'm pretty confident it will get claimed before arbitration ends.
-
Got to abandon this league, too much stuff going on in my life to manage so many teams, I could stay until arbitration if it helps, thanks for the fun
-
Happy to do it!
Just as a heads up to everyone, I am planning on doing our draft as a slow auction through Couch Managers again. I know it wasn't the smoothest last year, but I've learned from my mistakes, and honestly I just have very little patience for trying to organize a live draft date that works for everyone haha.
If someone feels strongly about having a live draft and wants to organize it, I'm happy to give commish (or co-commish) powers.
-
Thanks guys. Looking forward to next year already! Also, a special thanks to Dangerous for stepping up and running the league this year.
