• Hey all, missed all this until just now, submitted my votes. Expanded playoffs sounds great.
  Mike Gorman's Retirees at Aug 23, 2024 5:53 PM
• No, I believe you play 3 teams simultaneously for the week. So CGT vs Publish, CGT vs Brick, CGT vs Walton, same lineup for each matchup.
  
  Here’s one explanation, I’ll see if I can find a better one:

• In the 3 matchup-a-week setup, is each matchup just 2 or 3 days?
  Publish or Parish at Aug 23, 2024 3:16 PM
• Early results (I forgot to include a place to include your name or limit it to one response so please don't vote twice). But after 7 responses: 100% to change it 1 division (so this will pass), 5 votes to change it to 6 playoff teams, 2 for 8 playoff teams, 1 to keep it at 4 and finally, 6 votes for 3 matchups a week and 1 to keep it at 1.

• I'll put up a poll on the salary tracking too and a solid explanation somewhere. I don't care to confuse things though, so anything with manual tracking means newbies are gonna have a hard time keeping up. Also, I screwed up the percentages in the form, not a big deal, but if I fix them I lose the votes of people that already voted. Anyway, 4 playoff teams = 33% make the playoffs, 6 = 50% and 8 = 67% (not 75% as I wrote in the question).
  CGT at Aug 23, 2024 2:39 PM
• I think manually tracking the 20% salary difference is a reasonable option--I'd be in favor of this, even tho it's not in the poll.

  Here you go, 3 questions to vote on...let's get it done by the end of the next weekend please.
  CGT at Aug 23, 2024 12:29 PM
• Time to vote on some rule changes we discussed last year...first, is the removal of divisions. The schedule is so weird that it wasn't even really weighted to play division rivals and teams with lesser records and points were benefiting. We can change it to just one division and then the top 4 teams make the playoffs. 2nd.... Do we want to consider adding playoff teams? It can go up to 6 or 8 which might keep the lopsided trades to a minimum as teams would stay in it longer. I don't see how to enact the salary cap idea I proposed unless we all agree on it and I monitor trades. Last, we can change matchup to 3 per week instead of 1 meaning you play against 3 teams each week offsetting those dumb weeks where you get the 2nd highest point total and lose to the team with the highest point total or vice versa, winning with a terrible weekly score and getting an absentee owner to equally terrible team. Google form poll forthcoming...
  CGT at Aug 23, 2024 12:17 PM
• I'm new to this but I can see your point and 20% sounds reasonable enough.
  Mike Gorman's Retirees at Aug 12, 2024 9:41 AM
• I'm with you CGT, I don't like that the Superteam method is the way to go for chips in this format. I can't remember who's even on my team I made so many lopsided trades last year.
  Brickowski for 3 at Aug 10, 2024 11:36 AM
• My crazy rule idea is to put a 10-20% salary difference limit on any trades similar to what the NBA does and get away from those crazy loans being given out. I feel like the building of super teams every year isn’t really all that fun.
  
  I might be on the minority of that one though.
  CGT at Jul 25, 2024 1:18 PM
• Anyone want Fox, Young or possibly Doncic or Giannis? They all feel like they’re around what they’ll go at auction if I let them go and I’ll have to let some of them go. Giannis is the least likely to get moved. Looking to save money of course…
  CGT at Jul 25, 2024 1:15 PM
• Excited to try this out, first year doing Ottoneu baseball has been enjoyable.
  Mike Gorman's Retirees at Jul 25, 2024 10:10 AM
• Yeah, that makes a lot more sense.
  CGT at Jul 23, 2024 1:41 PM
• I think it was a $74 Halliburton, no?
  Walden Two at Jul 23, 2024 1:33 PM
• Looks like we got 2 new owners for the abandoned teams. Welcome. I would have made you a trade offer for $37 Haliburton :)
  CGT at Jul 23, 2024 1:19 PM
• Scalabrine and Laimbeer teams are currently abandoned.
  CGT at Jun 28, 2024 2:55 PM
• Do we have confirmation of abandoned teams, for trade purposes?
  McHale’s Navy Beans at Jun 28, 2024 9:04 AM
• Happy Trails to an original
  
  3 delinquent arbitration owners at the moment, one of those is an abandoned team
  CGT at May 30, 2024 1:58 PM
• RIP to a real one
  BILL WALTON'S SPORTSBONG 🥀 at May 27, 2024 3:14 PM
• 4 teams left to fill out arbitration, get them in by the deadline please! I broke my wrist playing basketball a few weeks back and had to have surgery so minimal typing from me for the 6 weeks or so, but we'll sort everything out this summer. Enjoy the playoffs!
  CGT at May 17, 2024 5:55 PM
• I can't believe I traded Brunson!! gah
  Please Come to Boston at May 15, 2024 10:02 AM
• Thank you to everyone who has already completed their arbitration. The deadline is May 31, so get that arbitration in!
  Walden Two at May 10, 2024 2:46 PM
• My trophy has arrived. Now everyone can enjoy their offseason.
  21 Andre Ingrams at Apr 3, 2024 4:33 AM
• I'm going to keep checking every day until it shows I have a trophy.
  21 Andre Ingrams at Mar 26, 2024 6:48 PM
• Congrats once again Ingrams, great season!
  
  I'm checking out until the playoffs start and then I'll get some polls up so we can make some decisions on any league rules changes (lose divisions, H2H scheduling, etc). Until then...
  CGT at Mar 25, 2024 1:08 PM
• Great game Brick. You clearly had the stronger roster, but my guys did just enough and took advantage of some missed games from your top players. When will ottoneu recognize my slim triumph? I want to go to my roster and see a gold tophy.
  21 Andre Ingrams at Mar 25, 2024 11:25 AM
• great finals fellas!!!!!
  BILL WALTON'S SPORTSBONG 🥀 at Mar 25, 2024 9:21 AM
• Congrats Ingrams! That was a nail-biter. I'm pretty disappointed to watch this week go awry, but you were extremely consistent, and that's what was needed.
  Brickowski for 3 at Mar 25, 2024 8:46 AM
• For a league where only 4 teams make the playoffs, we've had a lot of consistency. Bill Walton's Sports Bong won twice (beat me in the playoffs both years), but missed out this year clearing room for CGT to land a trophy. I've got a 2nd place, a 4th place, and now a championship. Publish or Parish has a 3rd, a 2nd, and now a 4th. Brick has a 4th, a 3rd, and a 2nd all in order so he's clearly gearing up for a win next year. Sports Bong pointed out that maybe the key to winning was just as simple as having Jokic, but I finally beat that Serb in the playoffs. All it took was him only playing two games. As usual, you need a little luck to win. I'll take it.
  21 Andre Ingrams at Mar 25, 2024 2:02 AM
• And we have a winner, congrats Ingrams!!! Siakam goes for 10+ over his season average which literally ends up being the difference. If I was Brick, I'd be cursing out SGA and the Thunder. They sat him out the entire 4th quarter while the Bucks were still playing their starters.
  CGT at Mar 25, 2024 1:28 AM
• Big 3Q from Siakam keeps the lead about the same heading into the 4th (showing 26 pts at the moment) but the score of the game is getting close to blowout territory and potentially the starters sitting...might take a March Madness miracle for Brick to pull this off
  CGT at Mar 25, 2024 12:01 AM
• Must have been a stat update, now showing as a 24 pt lead at halftime fwiw.
  CGT at Mar 24, 2024 11:24 PM
• 47 pt lead cutdown to 21 pts at halftime....game on! According to the rules, first tie-breaker is H2H record and I believe Brick owns the advantage by way of his Week 10 over Ingrams (I guess they only played each other just once).
  CGT at Mar 24, 2024 11:22 PM
• A forty point lead heading into this last game was what I thought would be a 50/50 proposition, so I'm a little ahead of that, but I don't feel good about it.
  21 Andre Ingrams at Mar 24, 2024 10:01 PM
• very underwhelming performances by SGA and Edwards for Brick, J. Allen and Lillard didn't do Ingrams any favors either though. Turner/James need to make up 47 points on Siakam. If you go by season averages, Brick's team would fall short by about 4-5 points.
  CGT at Mar 24, 2024 9:38 PM
• good lord, down to the wire!!
  BILL WALTON'S SPORTSBONG 🥀 at Mar 24, 2024 9:08 PM
• Depending on how the earlier games go, looking at a potential Siakam for the Ingrams vs. James/Turner for Brick in the last game of the night to decide it all.
  CGT at Mar 24, 2024 10:24 AM
• Ingrams has come storming back and takes the lead heading into the decisive Game 7. DNP’s have sabotaged Brick over the last 2 nights and he has a few more to potentially worry about tonight. It’s a 72 pt lead although Brick has 1 extra game to play, but it’s going to have be a lot of huge games to catch up. Good luck to you both!
  CGT at Mar 24, 2024 10:23 AM
• Yup, this is making me queasy. Jokic out, Ayrton doubtful, so I've got to start Keldon Johnson and Bogdan. Yikes
  Brickowski for 3 at Mar 23, 2024 7:00 PM
• Looks like the benches are going to help decide this, Jokic and Porzingis are out tonight, Tatum questionable and Ayton doubtful.
  CGT at Mar 23, 2024 3:44 PM
• And like that we’re essentially tied going into the last 2 days. Ingrams closes the gap and takes a 4 pt lead. Brick gets a couple of DNP’s and a a few underwhelming performances from James and Edwards.
  9 GP left for both…
  CGT at Mar 23, 2024 1:41 PM
• Tatum out too! And now Jokic questionable for tomorrow? It's happening! You are getting at least 2 and likely more games from micic, KJ, and BogBog.
  Brickowski for 3 at Mar 22, 2024 8:56 PM
• More of a general note, but NBA just needs to do away with B2B games, players hate them and the DNPs are frustrating for fans. Start the season 2 weeks earlier or just shorten it a bit, you’ll make the same money or more with a better product
  CGT at Mar 22, 2024 5:52 PM
• Yeah, Ayton already knocked down to questionable tonight. If he’s only going to play one game, matchup for him is better against Jokic tomorrow who plays defense leisurely, although foul trouble has to be a concern in that matchup.
  CGT at Mar 22, 2024 5:49 PM
• Depth is definitely an advantage for me, but part of that is that my top line players aren't as good so the drop-off isn't as drastic. I kind of need some dudes to sit for you in order to give me a boost. We're nearly tied, but you have an extra game to play. I need one of your guys to either not play at all or, even better, completely shit the bed.
  21 Andre Ingrams at Mar 22, 2024 5:11 PM
• Yup, the constant anxiety around Edwards, LeBron, and Tatum plus Ayrton who has missed tons of games this year, leaves me less than confident. Tatum and ayrton have b2bs so I expect a sit or 2. Can Keldon or BogBog, actually have an avg night?
  Brickowski for 3 at Mar 22, 2024 4:46 PM
• ….GTD’s that could change either lineup.
  
  ( Got cutoff by the character limit)
  CGT at Mar 22, 2024 12:11 PM
• Past the halfway mark and it remains a close one, Ingrams kept pace and is at 40.47 with 13 games left although probably a bit disappointed by Sabonis’s night against the Wizards. Brick got a huge night from Jokic to offset DeRozan’s early exit and is at 43.31 with 14 games left. Ingrams with 4 currently in his lineup for tonight, Brick has 6 with a lot of GTD that could change either
  CGT at Mar 22, 2024 12:09 PM
• I plugged in our remaining guys with their averages and our current scores and I'm on pace to lose 1,334 to 1,200. That's actually closer than I expected it to be at this stage so I've got a puncher's chance, but a pretty weak-wristed puncher.
