• I've reached out to the 4 owners who haven't made cuts or posted on the board yet this year to confirm that are in for 2017 - I'm pretty sure Justin (Gridiron Geeks) is just waiting to the deadline for cuts, not sure about other three. If we need to add ANY more owners this season after the deadline I'll allow people to make additional cuts via the commish tools after the new owners cuts are made. Hopefully we can get activity level for this league increased this season so we don't have to question who is in and who is not going into next season.

• I'm fine with that, but I don't think the lack of activity/responses is as drastic as you make it seem. Since the increases were applied March 1, 8 of the 12 owners have made cuts to their rosters. I'd argue that some owners are simply waiting for owners with significant overages above the salary cap to get back in the box. Right now 5 owners with salaries over $55 above the cap. The pool of talent/$ will be hard/impossible to assess if those owners don't make some decisions.

• Fine by me

• Reposting from slack: So I'm bringing this up now bc I can foresee it being an issue next week. I have several cuts that I'm waiting until the deadline to make to evaluate the available pool of talent/$. I'm concerned if we have a large number of absent owners (judging by lack of responses this offseason, I suspect we have several) that we can't make an adequate assessment of available talent. In fairness to returning owners, I propose the following. Everyone makes their cuts as expected by June 30th. But if we have 4 or more owners without cuts, then all other owners are allowed to make up to two more penalty-free cuts after the new owners make their cuts. Thoughts?

• I emailed the league - let's get this thing going again.
  Doomsday 44 at Jun 20, 2016 9:12 AM
• Hey all, reminder that keeper deadline is July 1st. Less than a month to make cuts & trades..
  Neanderthal at Jun 4, 2016 4:04 PM
• Yea I screwed that up, should've sent something but assumed there'd be some automated reminders.
  Doomsday 44 at Mar 3, 2016 5:50 PM
• For better or for worse, a lot of ottoneu communication has shifted to Slack lately. It has been a huge benefit to those who use it, but I can see how it can be a detriment to those who haven't yet crossed over. However, I agree that a reminder should have been sent out through this message board, the inbox system or through general email. Sorry to hear you missed out.

• technically yes but I don't understand how to use it. I guess I qualify for old man status these days. also, it is blocked where I work on the desktop side.

• Are you on Slack?

• And you can't even see the arbitration results anywhere?
  Teenage Mutant Njigba Turtles at Mar 3, 2016 11:27 AM
• What the heck? I didn't even know Arbitration happened? I do not have any emails that it was happening and now apprently I've missed it? Who the ?#%! is thinking about football right now? Ottoneu, you can do better than that.
  Teenage Mutant Njigba Turtles at Mar 3, 2016 11:27 AM
• MM - I just got the same message.. Not sure.
  Neanderthal at Feb 23, 2016 8:42 PM
• I have completed doing my arbitration, but have a message on my page stating, "Team That Require Arbitration." What does that mean? Thanks.
  Cali Doom Squad at Feb 17, 2016 6:21 PM
• Believe you're correct. It's getting looked at. Resolution expected in next week or two.
  Neanderthal at Feb 2, 2016 1:11 PM
• The end of season increase should be checked for players that did not play a game. For instance, Josh Gordon increased $4 despite not having played a game this season. Believe the rules show a $1 increase would be appropriate.
  Sin Fransicko Forty Nightmares at Feb 1, 2016 8:20 AM
• Not sure how /why that got posted again
  Neanderthal at Jan 3, 2016 1:45 PM
• Adjusted in what way?
  Neanderthal at Jan 2, 2016 5:53 PM
• Thanks! Much appreciated. This was a fun year and I personally enjoyed the interaction. Enjoy the off season. Now it's time for Otto baseball.
  Cali Doom Squad at Dec 29, 2015 3:31 PM
• Congrats to Manhattan Minutemen on the victory. Great first season to all. Looking forward to the offseason already.
  Neanderthal at Dec 29, 2015 2:16 PM
• Hey - the tanking team is on a 1 game winning streak, and you weren't complaining about your guaranteed win in week 10.
  Doomsday 44 at Dec 13, 2015 10:14 AM
• Just realized my playoff scenario described earlier was completely wrong... But you get the point, it's a close race
  Stoolblasters at Dec 9, 2015 10:50 AM
• I should have said that in my other league, we still play head to head, but only use on division. It works for us. Maybe a format such as that can be an option for leagues in Otto.
  Cali Doom Squad at Dec 8, 2015 7:21 PM
• Yep, ignore us. We're just pouting. We knew what the rules were when we signed up
  Neanderthal at Dec 8, 2015 5:22 PM
• I understand and that is the reason in my non Otto football league we no longer use divisions. We treat our football like roto baseball.
  Cali Doom Squad at Dec 8, 2015 12:33 AM
• When you have divisions, this sort of thing happens all the time. In my other Ottoneu league I'm winning total points by a healthy margin, but I'm 3rd in my division. Welcome to fantasy football. That's why I prefer baseball
  Brandon Clay All Stars at Dec 8, 2015 12:22 AM
• Fact. It's disheartening that the first 13 weeks mean almost nothing. Justin and I will be within five points of each other. And because of a certain team's tanking, Justin is guaranteed a win next week. So I have to win and out score him

  Neanderthal at Dec 7, 2015 9:53 PM
• Agreed. I would have to lose next week while both of you win AND exceed me in points. Regardless, it will be fun to watch
  Stoolblasters at Dec 7, 2015 12:12 PM
• You probably have the best chance since you have a decent points lead.
  Columbus Panhandles at Dec 7, 2015 12:00 PM
• 🙏🏼 please let me survive the division of doom
  Stoolblasters at Dec 7, 2015 11:58 AM
• All three teams in the East deserve to go to the playoffs, but one of us will be left out in the cold after next week. If I go from 9-2 to out of the playoffs I'm firing my entire front office.
  Columbus Panhandles at Dec 7, 2015 8:21 AM
• definitely not right
  Brandon Clay All Stars at Dec 3, 2015 2:01 PM
• Its not the Knights fault but every player on waivers goes to the lowest person in the standings first, i.e. them. The Knights should intentionally lose the rest of their games in order to pick up whomever the deem keepable on waivers. I should have packed it in earlier and done a better job losing so I could be the low waiver man. The system is currently set up to reward only the lowest person in the standings. Unless the Knights fill up their entire salary with keepable players, there is no reason for any keepable player on waivers to ever get to another team. That is why most leagues use rolling waivers instead of positional ones. I'd never thought about it but apparently rolling is even more needed in a keeper league. I don't think we've seen yet how Firesales will play out in Ottoneu football. that will be interesting too over time.

  Neanderthal at Dec 1, 2015 10:29 AM
• I know I've been the beneficiary of the current rule but agree - should be adjusted for football.
  Doomsday 44 at Dec 1, 2015 10:05 AM
• I guess I should have done a better job losing games so I could have 1st waiver on every single drop. Ottoneu football needs some improvements.
  Teenage Mutant Njigba Turtles at Nov 30, 2015 11:55 PM
• Payback's a bitch lol. Lynch looks like he's done.
  Brandon Clay All Stars at Nov 23, 2015 9:07 PM
• My team took the season off.
  Doomsday 44 at Nov 23, 2015 11:56 AM
• My team decided to take the week off :(

• Looking to trade Edelman to a non contender as a keeper WR for their overpriced nonkeeper WR
  Stoolblasters at Nov 22, 2015 4:25 PM
• I cannot catch a break with these WR auctions. Lost Matthews by $3, lost a tiebreaker on Harris, and lost Crowder by $1. Sheesh.
  Columbus Panhandles at Nov 20, 2015 9:06 AM
• Wish someone started that Matthews auction BEFORE I cut Bennett lol
  Doomsday 44 at Nov 17, 2015 7:18 PM
• I traded Charles; he got hurt next game. Edelman? Hurt the same day. Spooky. Don't trade with me is the lesson there. I'm bad luck
  Brandon Clay All Stars at Nov 16, 2015 9:03 PM
• Haha, bad timing.
  Neanderthal at Nov 15, 2015 10:03 PM
• Well this trade doesn't seem to be very fair anymore...
  Stoolblasters at Nov 15, 2015 9:59 PM
• Cap space one of the top things I'm trying to trade for now.

• I need a RB, and I am willing to move keepers to acquire one (or two!). Hit me up if you're willing to sell.
