Congrats Summer! Great season
-
Yes, congrats to our champion and runner up. And thank you to everyone for a fun season!
If you're not planning on playing next year, please let me know ASAP. If we need any replacement managers, I'd like to get them in so that they can participate in arbitration.
Enjoy the postseason, and playing around with the Roster Organizer page! I second Staff's sentiment, and am looking forward to swinging some trades with you all in the coming months.

Congrats summer, carriage and nights crew...watch my team next season.

You may know this already, but as commish I just wanted to say that the site enforces roster limits in that he won’t be allowed to bid or set lineups until he cuts the necessary players. So he’ll get around to it soon, and I don’t think there’s really anything to be done in the meantime.

...make that 6 over

Thanks for sharing analysis, hope Carroll becomes a stud
-
If redraft you’re 100% right. Yordan is top 12 ADP whereas Carroll is top 75. I understand this trade does not help me this year. Looking at dynasty rankings Yordan is still top 10 and Carroll is top 25. The gap is closer and I then consider the price differential of $24 I’ll get next years draft (pretty decent player). On top of that Carroll adds another layer of arbitration protection to my core players of Adley, Wander, Witt and Alcantara.

Alvarez for Carroll......is giving a lot for we don't know what
-
Rosters imported! The player numbers/total salaries all look correct, but let me know if anything is off and I'll fix it.
Trades, drops, auctions all open! Thanks for a successful draft, everyone. Enjoy the season!
-
So close! I emailed the two managers who don’t have full rosters, I’ll close the draft and import rosters as soon as I hear from them that they’re done drafting, or in 24 hours from now, whichever comes first. That will open up the regular-season auction system to everyone, as well as trades.
-
I gave a few more nominations to the teams that aren't full yet. Again, no pressure to use them, just trying to let things wrap up a little quicker.
-
As our draft heads towards a close, just a few reminders:
-You do not need to fill out your 40-man, so if you're done adding, just don't make anymore bids/nominations
-I'll give a 24-hr last call before I end the draft and upload rosters
-
Yes

Fine for me
-
OK, unpaused. Rough weekend, but hopefully we can finish up without any more interruptions.
-
Seems to be working OK again?
-
So how do we fix the security issue, it's got to be a site problem
Men Of Steal on
March 5, 2023 8:24 PM
-
Yeah mine is doing it too
Men Of Steal on
March 5, 2023 8:13 PM

I went ahead and paused the draft. Again.
Seems like the site is giving everyone the same issue. You can bypass the "connection not secure" browser message, but the draft is not loading up properly on my computer using Chrome. I was able to get it loaded find and pause from my phone's Safari browser.
-
Great thanks

Yup, just getting home from dinner and saw that they fixed it for us. I’ll fire it back up!
-
So where are we at now has site adjusted rosters?
Men Of Steal on

-
Ok no problem, thanks for the heads up
-
I went ahead and paused the auction because we have someone who is unable to bid due to my error. Again, I apologize. Hopefully we'll be up and running again soon.
-
I screwed up when setting up rosters, because I designated two roster slots as C it's forcing us to draft two catchers, which is not in line with league rules. I've emailed the site manager in hopes of getting them to change one of the C spots to a bench spot, as I don't think I have the ability to do so.
Sorry for the confusion, I'll update everyone on the resolution ASAP.
-
We're underway!
-
Draft room full! Rosters imported! I'll start the draft tomorrow morning around 9 AM PST. A few reminders:
-8 hr clock, 8 hr extension with each new bid
-Every manager starts with 2 nominations, you get another every time an auction you started completes
-Up to 24 auctions going at any given time
-You are not required to nominate. Once all auctions are complete, I'll give a 24 hr last call
-Draft will sleep from 9PM-4AM PST
-
Actually, I'm dumb again, I forgot I can import rosters more than once, so if you're already in the draft room your keepers have been added. If you get a second, feel free to look them over and make sure there aren't any mistakes.
Remember that the only real flaw with using the other site is that there isn't perfect alignment for positional eligibility, so you'll have to refer back to Ottoneu to make sure where a guy is eligible.
-
Only one manager left to join! I sent another email out so hopefully the draft room will be full soon, at which point I'll upload rosters. I'll let everyone know once they're imported so that you have a little time to check for accuracy before we get rolling (I'll double check them as well, just never hurts to have other eyes on it).

in

hey guys you all need to get signed in as soon as you can, as commish has to hand load our players to our teams before we draft tomorrow

I had an account from a previous slow draft, either way...i'm in

Check email for the slow draft link! Should just take a minute to join. Let me know if you have questions.
-
You will need to make a free account. I'll set it up today or tomorrow and post a link here, I'm sure that the link will have you create an account so you can wait until then if you'd like.
-
Do we need to do anything for the slow draft? As far as setting up an account or anything?
-
No apology necessary, it’s on me! Thanks for being understanding about it.
-
Sorry for the misunderstanding guys. Knew we couldn’t auction but thought we could drop with penalty pre draft.

That’s completely correct. Rosters should be locked, I was trying to avoid confusion by not having a draft date showing but I should have just left it.
I’ll reverse the drop, and will the do the same with any other transactions that occur prior to our slow auction.
-
Commish can correct me if wrong but I don’t think cuts are allowed until post-draft. The only reason the functionality is enabled here is because the commish “canceled” our live draft in advance of the slow draft. All my other leagues that have not drafted yet do not have cut functionality at this time.
-
So I accidentally opened auctions by cancelling the draft, but please refrain from starting any. If any do get started, I'll obviously void them. We'll open them once our slow auction is completed.
-
Each nomination starts with an 8 hr clock and counts down from there. Every bid starts the clock over (or puts some number of hours back on the clock, I forget). An individual auction is finished when the clock runs out. There are always multiple auctions running (I think every team starts with 2 nominations, so there can be up to 24 auctions going).
Should take a week or two to get everyone's rosters filled.
-
How does a slow draft work in an auction league?
-
OK, slow draft through Couch Managers it is. We'll start it March 1st, cause that's when my other league is gonna start too and that way I'll only have to pay for a 1-month subscription (again, it's free for everyone else). We'll still have plenty of time to finish before the regular season kicks off.
Trades are open until then!
-
Yeah I think we should just do the slow draft. It's pretty clear from looking at the Doodle that we don't have better scheduling options for a live draft.
-
We did a slow draft last year in my other Ottoneu 5x5 and it worked very well fwiw
Lauze 5x5 on

Well, that was literally the only date between now and opening day that wasn’t marked a “no” by at least one manager. So there’s no rescheduling. If you can’t make it, we slow draft.
Unless somebody else wants to take over commish and try to find a date, but I’ve given it all the effort I’m willing to.
-
I hate to say it guys but I hit a snag this Friday night. If I’m the only one who has an issue I’ll try to get a proxy to draft for me, but would obviously prefer to reschedule if possible. Sorry.

I can make it work
-
Draft is *tentatively* set for this Friday @ 9 PM EST/ 6 PM PST. I think there are only two managers who haven't confirmed. I'll email them right now, and if either of them can't make it, we'll probably have to slow draft.
Thanks for all of the responses!
