Discord is basically just a server for voice/text chat. I doubt people would voice chat but it would be an option. Mostly though it would allow discussion or updates without being hidden in the wall of transaction updates and would allow people an easier way to message directly. I'll set one up when I get a chance.

How does Discord work?

Discord would be awesome

idk what discord is but anything could be easier than this
-
Nah dude I woke up and bid instinctively, then did research and saw how stupid it was, then deleted the bid.

Would there be any interest in setting up a Discord server for the league? This message board is pretty whack and it's easy to lose track of different things. Might make trade discussions a little easier and make it easier for anyone to contact me if they have questions regarding anything league related.

Did you start the auction initially? I don't believe you can nominate a player for auction and then retract your bid. If no one else bids then you get that player.

I was having a hard time seeing a combined list. Can you provide a link to what you’re looking at? Thanks for all you’re doing, Peaky! Being commish is no easy task!
-
Top 50 players overall. Basically zero reductions on the best of the best. And yes. Anyone that is cut is free game for everyone.
-
Is “top 50 players” hitters and pitchers combined or separate? It looks like some top 50 hitters had salary reductions (Votto) but maybe you’re looking at hitting and pitching combined?
-
Just to clarify, any players that are dropped are fair game to bid on? Basically a silent auction redraft?

Processed the first round of requests. Please verify the correct players were dropped. Everyone else has until the 20th.

Got it, thanks!

No those rules will still apply. The idea isn't really for people to get the best players at a cheaper price. It's to help free up money without drastically altering teams. In fact let's extend that to not being able to cut top 50 players as well just so no one tries anything sketchy. Of course I reserve the right to veto any cuts if something like that happens.
-
Thank you for offering this up and putting the time in to get it done for everyone. Just to clarify, when you say "penalty-free" cuts, will we also be able to bid on the players that we cut? For example, I paid a $66 premium for Arenado. If I could cut him and then re-bid on him potentially getting the player at a cheaper price I might consider that. Currently the owner who drops a player cannot bid on that player again unless they've been an FA for >30 days.

And because the messaging system on here sucks, tacking on one more thing: There are no re-dos or takebacks or mind changing. Once you submit your choices that's it. I'm going in and editing everything after so don't freak out if you get hit with penalties. I have to manually change everything. But once you send me the message, provided everything checks out, that's it and final.
-
And to be clear, when I say one-time I don't just mean for this season. We will not being doing this ever again. Not next season, not four years from now. This was carefully thought out to bring about a small amount of relief without destroying the integrity of the league. You could save $2 or you could save $10. There are some salaries out there that are really, really, really high for those players so choose wisely and again NO TOP 50 PLAYERS, pitcher or positional.
-
If you DO NOT MESSAGE ME your cuts then you will not receive the relief. No exceptions. I'm not going back and trying to find when you cut them to make sure it was within the deadline. Honestly if you aren't checking the league at least every other day or so then you're likely not going to be engaged all year and will bail anyway. I have to manually edit all of these players so it will be easier for me if people follow through on messaging and check their player before submitting.
-
I really want all the owners to be engaged this season and active. The off-season will bring about new balance as well as you can cut players with no penalty and they go back into the player pool. Arbitration allocation will also help. Players on teams will have their salaries automatically increase by $2 no matter what until they're released. That's on top of our allocations. I want as much carry over moving forward as possible which is why this measure is being offered.
-
You have until March 20th to do this. That's when the regular season starts and we're not dragging this out all season so people can try to maximize this. This is a one-time thing and will not be offered again. And I'm only offering this because the league is mostly full of people who haven't played Ottoneu before or even done auctions. Teams are really tied up with salaries and I'm afraid this will affect engagement and activity.
-
In order for you to do this and it be processed, YOU MUST MESSAGE ME DIRECTLY and tell me the players, up to 3, that you want penalty free cuts for. You then must designate the player you want the salary reduction for. I will check these to make sure they qualify but I'd appreciate people taking this seriously and checking before they submit. If multiple players finished with the same points they will be considered to have placed in the same slot (example being 10th overall scorer.)
-
I've had some people reach out with feedback so this what we'll do: This is a one-time offer and will not happen again. This is optional. Each team can cut up to 3 players and have the penalty waived. Each team can also designate 1 player from their team and have that salary reduced by 15% AS LONG AS THAT PLAYER DID NOT FINISH IN THE TOP 50 IN POINTS SCORING LAST SEASON. Go to Players tab > sort by "All teams" and then click the points column to sort.

That's the thing: I don't want people that are experienced or did homework to be punished. But the inverse is I don't want people that joined and winged it to be punished for not really knowing the system. I had zero intention of maxing my roster and cap but so many players were available because of inflated salaries that it was hard to pass up. Not looking to reverse that, just adding in some breathing room and giving everyone the OPTION to do it. That's the impetus behind 15% relief on 1guy
-
I’m interested in the free cuts idea, but don’t want to overcorrect too much. People who did their homework should get the reward of that. But it could be better for the league to get some guys on the market and free up cap space - it’s super hard to trade right now because most players are $40+ or $1. I am also a bit wary of the FA auction. I don’t have a good handle on how it works. Free off season cuts work because those players would then go into the big auction, no? How would this w
-
Keeping in mind we don't have to do something like this. I'm probably overthinking but I'm just afraid people will bail and this was intended as a freebie to give people a little more breathing room.
-
There will definitely be an evening out process. My concern was people losing interest and not being active throughout the year and then potentially not wanting to continue next year. There's still an evening out there because we can bring in new owners as we need to. This was mostly conceived since almost everyone in this league has never played Ottoneu or even done an auction draft before. We're all going for it so overvalue was going to happen. Limited cuts + 15% off a non top 50 player?
-
+1 for the limited cuts idea. But also +1 that it would likely even itself out at year 2. Firmly on the fence on this one.
