• Good catch - I see Niv is already on it. Demin is owned by Brandon Clay, so everyone please just ignore that auction while Ottoneu gets it resolved
  Kazaam at Nov 12, 2024 11:16 AM
• I see a Demin auction has started. Brandon Clay All Stars added Demin last year - and still has him on his roster. It appears the league player database did not update the Demin European player profile to BYU for this season.

• Bullets Forever has been renamed to The Biid's Knees. Also, trade block is updated.
  The Biid's Knees at Oct 22, 2024 1:48 PM
• Copy that - thanks for the heads up! Good luck in your other draft
  Kazaam at Oct 20, 2024 7:11 PM
• Hi all - I may join very late or not at all as I have another draft starting at 8:15pm ET tonight. My max bid in this league is $1 so not a big deal either way, but just wanted to give a heads up so you don't wait on me at the start.

• We have a replacement owner for Sandwich -welcome!
  Kazaam at Oct 4, 2024 10:54 AM
• I just heard back from Sandwich Hoss - he's not planning to return this year, so we need one more team manager. Feel free to spread the word if you know anyone who might be interested!
  Kazaam at Sep 23, 2024 12:16 PM
• REMINDER: Cut deadline is tonight. Less than 3 hours to go!
  Kazaam at Sep 15, 2024 9:12 PM
• Ok worked on Windows/Chrome (before I tried mobile and Mac OS + chrome).
  Thanks
  Fox Force Five at Sep 12, 2024 12:20 PM
• Were you on mobile? Try from a desktop perhaps
  Bala Cynwyd Middle School at Sep 12, 2024 11:32 AM
• Hmm, it's working for me... Maybe try a different internet browser? Or try again later today? As far as I know there's no other way to pay. But I can message Niv, the creator of Ottoneu, if you keep having problems.
  Kazaam at Sep 12, 2024 11:31 AM
• It keeps saying, "Location permission is required". I allow, and it just hangs.
  Is there another way to pay?
  Fox Force Five at Sep 12, 2024 10:51 AM
• Reminder: Everyone must pay for their teams by THIS MONDAY, September 16.
  
  The easiest way to do this is on the Dashboard page: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/userdashboard
  Click "Extend Now" next to your team.
  Kazaam at Sep 11, 2024 10:25 PM
• Reminder that Sep 15 at 11:59pm est is our KEEPER DEADLINE. Please make all your roster cuts before then - rosters will be locked after the deadline has passed.
  
  Second, let's pick a DRAFT DATE. Bala Cynwyd shared this template last year that worked well: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1W1Oo1iZ78N_ElOBk-CFZpvgpTwCxi7o4M6881WmNlvk/edit?usp=sharing
  
  Find your team, and use the "Fill Color" button along the top (looks like a tipped paint can) to shade in which days are available for you.
  
  Finally, please RENEW YOUR TEAM. Ottoneu's deadline is September 16 for everyone to pay their dues for the upcoming year. Please pay that - or else let me know ASAP if you're not planning to come back.
  
  Message me if you have any questions. Thanks!
  Kazaam at Sep 9, 2024 10:47 PM
• Thanks everyone! It's great to be here.
  The Biid's Knees at Jul 18, 2024 4:25 PM
• Welcome!
  Melon Ballerz at Jul 18, 2024 4:49 AM
• Welcome! Feel free to message me if you have any questions
  Kazaam at Jul 17, 2024 9:09 PM
• Hi everyone, I just joined this league as the new owner of Bullets Forever. I'm really looking forward to a fun basketball season!
  The Biid's Knees at Jul 17, 2024 9:02 PM
• Hey everyone, per Bullets' note - looks like we need 1 new owner. If you know anyone interested, please share with them!
  Kazaam at Jun 3, 2024 1:44 PM
• Hi guys. Sorry I didn't get arb done. I wanted to try and stay in the league, but I don't think I have the time for it. Thanks for having me for the one season.
  The Biid's Knees at Jun 3, 2024 1:40 PM
• 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!
  Kazaam at May 4, 2024 2:32 PM
• Congrats to Kazaam - great win! And bravo to all the playoff teams for their strong seasons!
  FBC Žalgiris at Mar 25, 2024 12:24 PM
• 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.
  Trust the Process at Mar 24, 2024 11:10 PM
• 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.
  The Biid's Knees 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.
  The Biid's Knees 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.
  The Biid's Knees 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.
  The Biid's Knees 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!
  Tankathon 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.
  Tankathon 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.
  FBC Žalgiris at Dec 6, 2023 10:51 AM
• Ya, Otto etiquette I’ve seen is that the trade is canceled in this situation.
