Quick heads-up that the arbitration period in our Ottoneu basketball league has begun and runs until May 31.
Also, if anyone isn't planning to return next year, PLEASE LET ME KNOW so we can find a replacement.
HOW ARBITRATION WORKS
Click the "Arbitration" button on the top left of the league homepage. Then select a team in the dropdown window and add $1-$3 to players on their roster (click "Save" at the bottom of the screen after allocating to each team).
If anyone has questions about the arb process, feel free to message me. Thanks!

Congrats to Kazaam - great win! And bravo to all the playoff teams for their strong seasons!

Congrats Kazaam!
Melon Ballerz at Mar 25, 2024 10:39 AM -
Thanks! Some really fun, challenging playoff matchups. Can't wait for next season!
Kazaam at Mar 25, 2024 12:49 AM -
Great matchup. Thought this might've been your year, Trust. Fun season. Can't wait until next year.
Bob Loblaw at Mar 24, 2024 11:58 PM -
Congrats on the win, Kazaam. Great season everyone. Looking forward to running it back next year.

Quick reminder: I think by our rules, tomorrow (Friday Mar 22) is the last day to start an auction. Any auctions started after 11:59pm est on Fri will be canceled.
Last year we established that all rosters have to be locked and legal at the end of our season, which ends Sunday night. Any auctions started Saturday would continue into the following week.
Just figured I'd mention this now so everyone has time to plan accordingly. Good luck to our playoff participants!
Kazaam at Mar 21, 2024 12:38 PM -
Great season, very competitive. Next year for sure!
Thanks for the reminder. I had forgotten about that.
Bob Loblaw at Mar 11, 2024 7:44 PM -
Thanks to everyone for what was a very fun, competitive regular season!
Quick reminder: we decided last year to end our league's ability to make roster moves at the same date as when our playoffs end. While the Ottoneu banner says the season ends March 31, our playoffs end March 24. Therefore, the last date any team can start an auction is March 22. At the end of March 24, every roster has to be set and legal. No one can make further moves March 25 - 31. Let me know if you have any questions.
Kazaam at Mar 11, 2024 6:20 PM -
That might be it. I moved Grant Williams into my starting lineup when Ingram was ruled out. I thought I benched Ingram, but I could have left him in. Ingram was still auto-benched, but maybe that was too late or something. Idk.
Bullets Forever at Feb 23, 2024 1:22 PM -
Did you have Ingram starting at F? Could have been that you had seven Fs starting and Kings were the last game to start.
Bala Cynwyd Middle School at Feb 23, 2024 1:16 PM -
Weird. I definitely started Sabonis, but for some reason he was auto-benched. Never had anything like that happen before.
Bullets Forever at Feb 23, 2024 1:01 PM -
Saw that this morning. Guess it said end of Feb in the rules all along and just the 1/31 banner was wrong? Appreciate his honesty in owning up to the error. Might be set to mid Feb due to the shorter season or might stay at the end. Sounds like that decision will be made today.
Here's the thread:

Bob Loblaw at Feb 1, 2024 7:28 AM -
FYI - Niv (creator of Ottoneu) posted earlier today that he is pushing back the trade deadline. It's been listed as Jan 31, but he intended for it to come later in the calendar. I think he's still finalizing the new date, but regardless trades are still allowed at the moment.
Kazaam at Feb 1, 2024 12:17 AM -
Thanks. Sorry for all that.
Bullets Forever at Jan 13, 2024 1:36 PM -
OK, I'll reverse now
Kazaam at Jan 13, 2024 1:32 PM -
I’m fine with having it reversed if it was a mistake
Melon Ballerz at Jan 13, 2024 12:34 PM -
Seems to me that if Ballerz would've accepted that as part of the offer then you could just do an additional trade. Easier than trying to have the league veto the current one.
Bob Loblaw at Jan 13, 2024 12:33 PM -
I’m really sorry, but I proposed that trade last night and mistakenly left off Zubac. I don’t know what the league thinks about reversing the trade, but that would be appreciated. If not, I made a mistake and I’ll live with it. Thanks.
Bullets Forever at Jan 13, 2024 11:44 AM -
This week is definitely presenting an interesting challenge to fill slots the best way possible. But I suppose we're all in the same boat so really no disadvantage for anyone.
Bob Loblaw at Dec 6, 2023 1:35 PM -
Also - scheduling heads up. I see the In-Season Tourney Semi-Final games have been added. FYI, the Championship Game isn't technically a "regular season" game according to the NBA, so its stats won't count for our purposes
Kazaam at Dec 6, 2023 11:32 AM -
Thanks all!
Sandwich Hoss at Dec 6, 2023 11:32 AM -
That would be my guess too, but I’ve never seen a trade vetoed. I should probably just ask Niv.
Bala Cynwyd Middle School at Dec 6, 2023 11:31 AM -
For Sandwich's peace of mind I went ahead and canceled the trade. My guess is once 7 people veto, the trade is immediately canceled?
Kazaam at Dec 6, 2023 11:30 AM -
I vetoed as well and fine if reversed after the fact of that's what it takes.
Bob Loblaw at Dec 6, 2023 11:22 AM -
I’m kind of curious what would happen if 7 people “vetoed” the trade right now. Would it automatically cancel or does it wait for the review period to end? I clicked veto in case anyone else wants to join the experiment.
Bala Cynwyd Middle School at Dec 6, 2023 10:53 AM -
I appreciate it. Rookie move on my end.
Sandwich Hoss at Dec 6, 2023 10:52 AM -
Seems obvious for me too
All Shooters at Dec 6, 2023 10:51 AM -
Agree - with both parties agreeing that's a reasonable step to take.
Banner 18 at Dec 6, 2023 10:51 AM -
Ya, Otto etiquette I’ve seen is that the trade is canceled in this situation.
Bala Cynwyd Middle School at Dec 6, 2023 10:49 AM -
All good with me too.
Melon Ballerz at Dec 6, 2023 10:48 AM -
I was going to post about that- saying you want to keep Fox but then trade away- I have no issue with it being vetoed/reversed
Rick Fox's Perm at Dec 6, 2023 10:47 AM -
Hey all,
I just accidentally accepted an offer instead of rejecting it for D'Aaron Fox. I wanted to show full transparency here because I asked to have it reversed. I even sent a message in my trade decision about the rejection if we need proof. If there is massive opposition to this please let me know. I literally just clicked accept instead of reject on my phone.
Thanks!
Sandwich Hoss at Dec 6, 2023 10:46 AM -
Team is all yours - welcome!
Kazaam at Nov 22, 2023 9:19 PM -
Hey everyone! If you had another owner in mind for this team, I've got no problem giving the team up to them. If not, happy to take over. If I'm keeping it, I'm a long-time Otto player but just got into basketball last year. I'm probably not going to be doing much with the team this holiday weekend, but I will be looking to sell and try to get younger and cheaper. Looking forward to it!
Bullets Forever at Nov 22, 2023 8:54 PM -
Good question! I haven’t heard from the new owner. I’ll message them and get back to you. Keep your person on standby - thanks!
Kazaam at Nov 22, 2023 1:17 AM -
Has Bullets been filled? Hasn't filled a lineup this week, but shows an owner on it? I have someone interested in taking over if it's available.
Rick Fox's Perm at Nov 21, 2023 10:14 PM -
I posted the opening on the Ottoneu slack group to see if there’s any interest there
Melon Ballerz at Nov 15, 2023 9:00 PM -
Ottoneu automatically abandoned Bullets' team last night, so we officially need an owner. I made some posts on different forums, but if anyone knows someone who could be interested, feel free to share
Kazaam at Nov 15, 2023 8:50 PM -
I sent Bullets another round of messages a couple days ago and never got a response, so unless someone objects, I'm going to mark his team as abandoned tomorrow. The fact that he never renewed his team makes me assume he decided to walk away for some reason. If anyone knows a fantasy player who would be interested in taking over, let me know!
Kazaam at Nov 14, 2023 9:05 PM -
Hey everyone, just an FYI - I've been sending Bullets Forever emails and DMs here on Ottoneu, trying to confirm that he still plans to be part of the league. I could see leading up to Nov 7 that he hasn't renewed. But I haven't gotten a response, although I can see he's checked the league a couple times this week. Will probably give him another week or so - don't want to prematurely boot him if he's just on vacation or busy at work. But at the same time, isn't good for the league if one team isn't participating. For now, just wanted to let you guys know I'm on it.
Kazaam at Nov 11, 2023 12:43 PM -
PAY FOR YOUR TEAM BY OCT 31, OR OTTONEU WILL REMOVE YOU AS MANAGER - I see we still have a bunch of teams that need to renew. Please make sure you pay by the deadline.
Kazaam at Oct 27, 2023 12:48 PM -
Niv fixed it - all good to go
Kazaam at Oct 22, 2023 4:28 PM -
FYI I just tried out exceeding the daily lineup cap and it doesn't seem to be working correctly yet. I messaged Niv, I assume he'll have it straightened out by the start of the season Tuesday
Kazaam at Oct 22, 2023 2:40 PM -
Ottoneu is now accepting payment. In order to pay for your team, go to the Ottoneu home page (https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/userdashboard), scroll down to your team and click the "Extend Now" button along the right side of the screen.
Also, please remember to set your lineup for Week 1. Feel free to message me if you have any questions about how that works.
One reminder for our returning players - this year there's no daily positional cap. So whereas last year you could only play 3 players at Guard per day, this year you could theoretically play all 9 of your Guard games on the same day if you wanted.
Kazaam at Oct 22, 2023 2:27 PM -
REMINDERS: Our keeper deadline is Sep 15 at 11:59pm est. Please make your final cuts and trades by then - and make your rosters legal.
Our draft is officially set for October 16 at 9pm est.
Niv (the founder of Ottoneu) has recently switched payment providers, and as of now it still isn't possible to pay for the upcoming season. I'm assuming that will be corrected soon and will send another email once that's possible.
Looking forward to the new season!
Kazaam at Sep 11, 2023 2:23 PM -
Welcome to our new owner!
Kazaam at Aug 30, 2023 10:43 AM -
Looking forward to another season!
Bullets Forever at Aug 14, 2023 3:56 PM -
Ehlo messaged me that he unfortunately has to drop out so we need one new owner. If anyone knows someone interested, let them know!
Kazaam at Aug 12, 2023 12:45 PM -
I will be out of town on that Saturday but I could do Sun the 15th
Sandwich Hoss at Aug 11, 2023 12:27 PM
