Do the doodle!
Los Angeles Dons at Aug 12, 2019 11:41 AM -
Email me your cut list and I’ll get it taken care of.
Springfield Atoms at Aug 12, 2019 10:19 AM -
I'm trying to cut a few players and it's not letting me. Anybody know why. Keep getting a message telling me I have to cut a player.
Doomsday 44 at Aug 12, 2019 10:12 AM -
You need to send your cut list to the commissioner since you picked up the team after the cut deadline. And I think Doodle sounds like a great idea.

Doomsday 44 at Aug 12, 2019 8:29 AM -
@MyAnalyticsAreBetter email me your cut list. Since you took over the team you get one round of penalty free cuts.
Springfield Atoms at Aug 11, 2019 10:20 PM -
8/25 is really the only bad day for me. Everything mentioned so far works.
Springfield Atoms at Aug 11, 2019 10:16 PM -
Pretty much any evening except 8/28 should work for me. I also think Doodle is a good idea.
Under New Management at Aug 11, 2019 8:56 PM -
I'm ok with any day or time.
Doomsday 44 at Aug 11, 2019 8:42 PM -
Hey everybody. One of the new guys here. Since it's really hard to get people together for meeting in my line of work, I use a service called Doodle where everyone I need there can check off a bunch of available meeting time options so we can see where everybody or nearly everybody can make it work. I set up a quick one for our draft, offering an afternoon and evening slot for weekend days and an evening slot for weekdays for every day between Sunday 8/25 and Tuesday 9/3 (except for Wednesday 8/28). If our league commissioners want to try settling on a time this way, I'll share the link in another message. I'm fairly certain that you don't even need a free registration to vote on options to use Doodle. We can adjust times, time zone and dates before we circulate if anyone has other ideas how to set up options. If no one wants to use this method, that's totally cool. Just thought I'd offer. Sorry for the long message.
NYS at Aug 11, 2019 8:21 PM -
Sorry can’t do Aug 28.
HU6KIES at Aug 11, 2019 8:03 PM -
Aug 28 and 29 or Sep 3 and 4 in the evenings (east coast) are good for me as well.
HU6KIES at Aug 11, 2019 7:45 PM -
Neither of those work for me.
The Skit at Aug 11, 2019 7:36 PM -
How about 8/26 or 8/27? 8 pm ET?
New Guy in Town at Aug 11, 2019 7:30 PM -
Gonna throw out 8/28, 8/29, 9/3 and 9/4 as good draft evenings for me.
The Skit at Aug 11, 2019 7:08 PM -
Let’s get a draft date set. Also when can I cut players? Is it once the draft is set?
The Hurts Lockett at Aug 11, 2019 4:36 PM -
Welcome to the new owners.
HU6KIES at Aug 10, 2019 6:02 PM -
Welcome!
So the new guys know, we have a $50 side bet through League Safe that pays out for 1st, 2nd & 3rd. Higher payouts this way.
We also need to get working on a draft date.
Springfield Atoms at Aug 10, 2019 1:25 PM -
Hi everyone. I just claimed what looked like the last open team (Hyde and Zeke). Excited to jump into this.
NYS at Aug 10, 2019 1:14 PM -
Just claimed this team looking forward to playing.
Doomsday 44 at Aug 9, 2019 11:05 PM -
Hello all I just claimed this team and excited to play. Has a draft date been set?
The Hurts Lockett at Aug 9, 2019 9:43 PM -
How many open teams are left? Should we start talking about a draft date?
New Guy in Town at Aug 8, 2019 9:13 AM -
It looks like the rake is way higher if we switch to a $50 league. I'd rather stick with the $20 tier and the $50 side bet if it's all the same.
Under New Management at Aug 5, 2019 1:37 PM -
I think we put in $50 last year. I am ok changing to a $50 Otto league.
Los Angeles Dons at Aug 5, 2019 1:02 PM -
Hey everyone, sorry for the delay... I am in to play again this year and would like to keep the $50 side bet. I just renewed my team so hopefully we can pull this together.
New Guy in Town at Aug 4, 2019 4:32 PM -
I'm trying to recruit people but need to know where we stand on buy-in. Remind me of the amount we put in for the side pot and payout? Are we able/willing to just change to a $50 league?
Springfield Atoms at Aug 3, 2019 2:52 PM -
By my count, we have four open spots (just need to mark Playing for 2019 as abandoned). I will go either way on the side pot (we used a third party service last year, Terp). I am also really against rebooting the league, as it runs contrary to the spirit of Otto being a dynasty platform. It's four spots, we can totally do this. Ask your friends.
Los Angeles Dons at Aug 1, 2019 4:14 PM -
I’m abandoning my team now. I don’t know if I’ll lose the ability to message you all so I just want to say thanks for some good years, I wish everybody well.
NYS at Jul 31, 2019 11:32 PM -
I’m up for an additional buy-in, especially if the league is rebooted so I have full control over my own roster. I’d just like to know how the payouts would work? No offense to anyone but I hesitate to send a stranger $50 and trust a champion gets paid.
The Skit at Jul 31, 2019 10:34 PM -
I’d really prefer keep it a money league. Do we have a count of how many empty spots there are?
Springfield Atoms at Jul 31, 2019 10:28 PM -
So how many do we actually have returning? And which teams are open? I can try to recruit some people. Although, if we're losing about half the league, the idea of a reboot with a new startup is somewhat intriguing. As for the $50, what we do in one of my other leagues is make the additional buy-in optional, but obviously only those who do buy in are eligible for payouts.
Under New Management at Jul 31, 2019 10:19 PM -
Welcome Terps. I hope you stick with us. For my $0.02 I would fine if we didn’t do the additional $50 buy in. I get that it keeps folks a little more motivated to stick with your team but I am in this so I don’t really need the incentive. I like this format I am definitely in for the long term. Thanks all.
HU6KIES at Jul 31, 2019 9:25 PM -
Also should add here that I’d be interested in a new league altogether if anyone here would rather do that? I can’t tell exactly how many active owners still remain.
The Skit at Jul 31, 2019 6:13 PM -
Hey fellas, just claimed this team. Couple things.
1) Noticed you might be having trouble filling it, will this league even happen? Let me know before I end up paying for it.
2) Saw a message below about an additional $50 buy-in -- need to know how that works before I can really commit.
The Skit at Jul 31, 2019 1:05 PM -
Does anyone have any insight as to why it is so tough to hold the football leagues together? This is two years in a row for me, with two different groups, where at least half the league bailed. Football is inarguably easier to play (and understand) than baseball, yet I don't see the turnover in my baseball league. Maybe my experience is a small sample size, but it's frustrating to play for the now and the future only to have the future of the league jeopardized by people bailing. Half venting, half observing/curious. Also, I do appreciate people that have made it known that they're out. Knowing what spots to fill is half the battle to filling them.
Los Angeles Dons at Jul 29, 2019 2:15 PM -
I'm out this year as well - sorry everyone - it's been fun!
Fantasy Football Team at Jul 28, 2019 7:29 PM -
I’m happy to be co-commish
Springfield Atoms at Jul 27, 2019 11:38 PM -
I think we’re out this year. Happy to pass the commish torch
NYS at Jul 27, 2019 10:31 PM -
Are we still doing the additional $50 buy in? We should make that clear so folks grabbing the abandoned teams know before they claim them.
HU6KIES at Jul 27, 2019 7:28 PM -
Dammit
Uncle Rico’s 82 Team at Jul 27, 2019 7:19 PM -
Damon autocorrect. If anyone wants commissioner powers....
Uncle Rico’s 82 Team at Jul 27, 2019 7:18 PM -
I marked the three teams I know are not coming back as abandoned. If anyone wants finish powers let me know and I'll add you
Uncle Rico’s 82 Team at Jul 27, 2019 1:19 PM -
Can we get the teams marked as abandoned to see if we can get the spots filled? I’m sure we can find 5 people. I might have a few to recruit as well but we need the teams opened up.
Springfield Atoms at Jul 27, 2019 12:29 PM -
Sooo... is this league gonna happen this year?
New Guy in Town at Jul 27, 2019 12:19 PM -
I am not coming back either. That makes at least 5 teams not returning. Is there anyone that wants to help Hyde and Zeke keep this going? (To be clear, I'm not sure if Hyde and Zeke is coming back)
Uncle Rico’s 82 Team at Jul 26, 2019 3:58 PM -
I am planning on not participating this year. Please find a replacement for me so I don't see any more emails about transactions.
The Hurts Lockett at Jul 24, 2019 7:55 PM -
We setting a draft day or what?
Los Angeles Dons at Jul 24, 2019 2:37 PM -
Hey, anybody want Gronk for really cheap?
Chop Suey! at Mar 25, 2019 12:05 AM -
Don’t forget today is the arbitration deadline.
How many empty spots do we have?
Springfield Atoms at Mar 15, 2019 7:09 PM -
Should we try to fill these open teams before arbitration starts in a couple weeks?
Los Angeles Dons at Jan 29, 2019 1:16 PM
