I'm good

I can do this Friday. Thanks for organizing this BD, I know the coordination is a pain.
-
Yes first year drafts are awful usually this should be 2 hr draft or thereabouts

Yeah, some teams would be done much quicker than 4 hrs. I think start up drafts usually take up to 8 hrs but we’re definitely filling less than half of the roster spots league wide.
-
I can make Friday work certainly shouldn't take 4hrs.

I can make Friday work

I can definitely be there at 6pm pst this Friday. It’s 9pm my time and my fiancé will be thrilled, but if this is our only option then I’m all for it.
-
So with 7/12 managers responding so far, and with over 40 options in the Doodle, we're already down to a single date still in play. We obviously can't do a live draft unless everyone is there, because there is no auto-draft option, so if anyone misses they're stuck with only leftovers. This headache is exactly why I prefer the slow draft. That being said,
Is there anyone who CAN NOT make a live draft this Friday, Feb. 10th, starting at 6 PM PST?
-
May I ask why?
That's a couple managers who have expressed desire for a live draft, so here's a Doodle link to see if we can find a date. Have at it:

I’m not in favor of a slow draft.

Good for me
-
Just because I want to make sure everyone is making an informed decision, what's the downside in your opinion, Staff?
The only flaw I can remember is that positional eligibility doesn't match up perfectly, so you have to check back on the Ottoneu site to make sure you know what positions a guy qualifies at.

Ive done couch manager before not impressed but I will go with majority

Here's the link of my draft from last year just so you can see what the draft room looks like:
https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/?auction_id=150
I know about it cause Chad Young from FG hosts Ottoneu mocks on there, saw them popping up on Twitter.
-
I haven’t tried Couch Managers before but I’d definitely be up for it
-
Works for me

Hey everyone. As your newly anointed commish, I wanted to say that it'd actually be my preference to do a slow auction draft through Couch Managers. We did it last year in my other Ottoneu, and I thought it went really smoothly. It only requires me uploading .csv files back and forth between the websites, and it makes it so that we don't have to all be online at the same time (each auction has an 8 hr clock). Free for all of you.
Any objections?
-
Keeper deadline coming up Tuesday night! Any players held on your roster past the 1/31 11:59 PM deadline will be subject to a cap penalty if cut.
-
Yes, welcome! Thanks for making us whole, glad to have you.
Little over a week until the cut deadline, and we’ll get the draft figured out shortly after.
-
Nice, welcome to the league!
-
Hi took over ace of base open to trading until deadline..list of people up for trade will be posted soon.

Best of luck! Will mark the team as abandoned shortly.
Only a few managers have paid for the upcoming season so far. If anyone else is not planning on renewing, the sooner you let us know the sooner we can get a replacement manager. We'll figure out a draft date once we get past the 1/31 keeper/renewal deadline.
-
I have made the tough decision to abandon my team. I would think it shouldn't be too hard to find someone to take it over. Sorry for the late notice. Too much going on.

Thanks guys
-
Seconded! Glad we’re back at full strength.
-
Welcome to the league, Papi!
-
Yup, I'm in sole possession of all the power :-)
-
From my end, it says Big Dumper is the new commish (Congrats!) but in all seriousness thank you for taking this over we really appreciate it. I have also relinquished commish duties.

Hmm I tried to uncheck myself as co-commissioner and move it over to Big Dumper, but it seems like it didn’t fully make the change even though I no longer have access to Commish Tools. Not sure what I did wrong (haven’t used Commish Tools before), but Bat Flips, I think I need an assist from you here if you still have access to Commish Tools.
-
Thank you Big Dumper, hugely appreciated! I will switch my commish status over to you. Bat Flips, I’ll leave you on there in case you want to stay as co-commish, but if not you can just use Commissioner Tools to remove your commish status. Inglorious - good competing against you, best of luck in your other leagues. I’ll see if I can figure out how to abandon your team.
-
Existing champ should have a say is all lol. Someone can abandon and open up my team to the rest of otto for replacement at any time though. Good luck!
-
I can do it. I got suckered into being commish when I joined my other Ottoneu league too haha. This thing pretty much runs itself, only real responsibility is getting the draft scheduled. I'll just post a Doodle link when the time comes, and if we can't figure out a date that works for everyone, we can do a slow auction through Couch Managers (did that last year in my other leauge)
-
Ha ok...not sure how I got pulled in here, I'm a little overstretched myself with 14 Ottoneu leagues, but I guess if nobody else wants to take it and it falls on Bat Flips, I can help share the burden of the commissioner responsibilities in the interest of keeping this thing running
-
I have assigned commish status to bat-flips and generous carriage, you folks can work it out, in the mean time open up my team so the next commish has an easier time moving forward! Thanks all, it's been fun!
-
I really don't want to be commissioner so if someone wants to or has the time I encourage you to step up. I will do it as a last resort simply to keep the league going but I really don't have time in the Spring to do it.

Final reminder: I will not be returning as commish or as a member of this league this season. If anyone would like to take on the commish duties please speak up!
-
Hey guys, I have too many leagues on my plate this season and being a commish can only add to it. I'd like to bow out and transfer commish status to someone, any takers or suggestions?
-
Warm welcome to the claimant of Team Formerly Known as Delphos Monsoons!
-
Thanks for the heads up, it's been a pleasure! Opening the team up shortly.
-
Hate to do this, but I'm going to bail on this league next year. Just don't have the time required to put together a competitive team.

Hey all! Thanks for having me. Been playing in a $50 5x5 the last two seasons, thought it was time to amp up my portfolio :-)
-
That went quick! Welcome to the new owner
-
Hey guys, Soto messaged me saying he's done - I've opened up his team to the public list, please speak up if you have a friend that would like to take over the team before arbitration begins.
-
Happy draft day! See you all tonight
-
Date confirmed via all-star league mate making it work. Godspeed to MLB/MLBPA.
-
So far we have 1 best draft date, the 20th, with 11/12. Over 99% of the available draft dollars being spent are accounted for, I've reached out to see if there is anything we can do to make that 100%. Be around as CBA is making big boy progress and we may need an expanded round of doodles.
