Iron Butterfly at Aug 12, 2024 8:55 AM -
Yes we should. Get it booked before our other drafts start cluttering up the calendar.
No Country for Old Donkeys at Aug 7, 2024 9:38 AM -

Little Buff Boys at Aug 7, 2024 9:27 AM -

ATTN: arbitration concludes at 11:59 EST
Iron Butterfly at Mar 31, 2024 1:38 PM -
the arbitration period has commenced.
Iron Butterfly at Feb 16, 2024 12:18 PM -
We now have the ability to pay for, renew, our teams. Seven teams in our league have yet to renew. The deadline for renewal is October 31. If you'll kindly follow through on renewing your team, it'd be greatly appreciated both here for this league, as well as for Ottoneu Fantasy Sports, in general. If you have any questions on how to pay, feel free to shoot me a message. The link at the top of this webpage (in the yellow bar) provides a comprehensive update on this matter. Thank you.

I could change mine to be Nebraska-centric... but that would be a team of false hope. What I DON'T hope my fantasy team is.
Team Derelicte at Sep 7, 2023 11:32 AM -
Just trying to add a bit of rivalry to our division
The TN Vols at Sep 7, 2023 11:08 AM -
The Gators and Vols being in same division just makes me happy. Feel like the rest of yall are not following the college theme in team names lol.
The Florida Gators at Sep 3, 2023 11:37 PM -
@TheFurrykitties tomorrow night, around 8:30-9:00pm eastern.

just a point of clarification: arbitration concludes on March 31. the rules formerly stated March 15, but i've confirmed that March 31 is indeed the deadline (as is reflected in the banner at top of this webpage). apologies for any confusion.
Iron Butterfly at Mar 15, 2023 1:05 PM -
thank you letting us know.
Iron Butterfly at Feb 18, 2023 2:00 PM -
I tried to send this message out yesterday, but it doesn't look like it went through. In any case, I am abandoning my team. It's not you, it's. Thanks.
The TN Vols at Feb 18, 2023 1:57 PM -
Congrats Iron Butterfly for taking down our first-year championship!
Little Buff Boys at Jan 6, 2023 4:19 PM -
I'll trade Ayuk Or amari
Cooper for literally any QB with a starting job.
The Furry kitties at Sep 3, 2022 10:38 AM -
10:45 at the latest. ** I take nap now.
Iron Butterfly at Aug 31, 2022 4:04 PM -
September 1 * my goodness
Iron Butterfly at Aug 31, 2022 3:56 PM -
Tomorrow, Thursday, August 31, 8:45 (ending at 11:45 PM**, at the latest), we finish our draft.
Iron Butterfly at Aug 31, 2022 3:55 PM -
Thanks, commish! Look forward to wrapping up the draft tomorrow and getting the season started. Good luck everyone!
Little Buff Boys at Aug 31, 2022 11:00 AM -
We’ll wrap up our draft at 8 PM Eastern, tomorrow evening. Good with you Furry kitties?
Iron Butterfly at Aug 31, 2022 9:39 AM -
Might we open FA soon if that's the route we go?
The Furry kitties at Aug 30, 2022 10:04 AM -
I also would prefer standard auction, but will go with whatever is easiest for everyone else.
The Moops at Aug 29, 2022 7:05 PM -
I'd prefer standard auction, but will go with the consensus.
The TN Vols at Aug 29, 2022 11:47 AM -
I also vote that we finish with free-agent auctions.
Little Buff Boys at Aug 29, 2022 10:19 AM -
Fully agree with kitties.
Thunder Gun Express at Aug 29, 2022 12:15 AM -
I vote we just finish out with free agent auctions. It's gonna be tough to find a time that works for all of us within the next two weeks.
The Furry kitties at Aug 29, 2022 12:11 AM -
Draft 8:30 tonight. Buckle in for a long fun draft. And remember, if you see the furry kitties bidding, back off. ;)

Iron Butterfly at Aug 19, 2022 1:24 PM -
Still working on contacting some people, but we’re well on our way to having a draft date, very soon. It will NOT be this Sunday.
Iron Butterfly at Aug 19, 2022 11:03 AM -
Have we decided on a draft date?
The Furry kitties at Aug 19, 2022 10:25 AM -
Awesome, that helps a lot. Thank y'all!

Another little trick that is good to know - is that you can bring up players for auction that you cut 30 days after you cut them and if you win the auction, you can cut them again which will cut the salary you owe in half once again. Say Taylor goes down for the season and you cut his hundred dollar salary. You will owe $50. 30 days later you can bring him up for auction again at the $50 salary. Then you can cut him again and only owe $25. Once the salary gets low enough that someone might take the player on for future seasons, you will no longer owe anything.
The Furry kitties at Aug 18, 2022 6:47 PM -
Think of the season-long rolling auctions as “free agency.” You can start an auction at any point (attempt to sign a free agent). These free agency auctions will last 24 hours. Think of the 24-hour window after a player is cut as “waivers.”
1. Yes. The minimum bid on a player is $1. Functionally, cutting a $1 player provides no cap relief until the player is claimed or otherwise added to another team.
2. Players can be claimed on waivers within 24 hours of being cut by another team. If a player is claimed on waivers, they will be added to the claiming team at their full previous salary. If more than one team claims a player on waivers, the tiebreakers used are the same as in the case of a tie on the highest bid on an in-season auction. Once a player is cut, you will see that they are on waivers via the league homepage.

Hi, thanks for offering to answer some questions! I am a fantasy veteran but Ottoneu newbie so I have a couple of rules questions:
1. You have to bid at least $1 to pick someone up off waivers, right? And if you cut them and no one picks them up, do you have to deal with $1 cap penalty for the rest of the season? I would imagine that would make streaming positions costly and it would take a toll on your budget if you do it every week. Or maybe streaming is not even feasible anyway with such deep benches.
2. I saw somewhere that the waivers are 48 hours. Is that all players or just cut players? Do we get notifications when a player is up for waiver bids? I’m used to waivers being weekly, every Tuesday.
Thanks and can’t wait to get started.

Howdy Guys, maybe gals. Excited to be in the league! This is my second ottonue football league. I have 3 baseball teams and 1 basketball team at ottonue. I love the format. I have a little experience so if anyone has any questions I'd be happy to answer them.
