As an alternative, Mondays/Wednesdays/Fridays at 5 pm Pacific time could also work but I understand that may mean for a late night for those who do not reside in the USA. But those dates would include March 1, 4, 6, 8, 11, 13, and 15 prior to the March 20 start of the season that would leave time for FA pickups.
-
Hi everybody...ok, so here comes the hardest part of the season -- finding an auction date and time that works for everyone living across multiple time zones. Season starts early this year on March 20, so we need to have the auction completed in time to allow teams to make FA bids and pickups prior to March 20. So, I'm going to propose noon Pacific time on either March 2, 3, 9, 10, 16, 17 (all Saturdays/Sundays).
-
Reminder....All teams must be renewed ($20.) and under salary cap by 1/31.
-
With inexpensive younger players lol.

Hi everyone I just joined the league and nearly everyone is on my block! I am interested in rebuilding with expensive, younger players that are 70% owned or above

Thanks for joining and welcome
-
Hi all, just claimed this team. Looks like a fun rebuild. Open to trade anyone and have plenty of room to take on salary. Thanks!
-
Hey all. I have to
Drop. Good luck this year!

Arbitration ends tomorrow night , November 14, at 11:59 p.m. Eastern time. If you have not already made your arbitration allocations, please do so before the end of tomorrow
-
Just a reminder to everyone that arbitration has started. Please log in and allocate your arb dollars as required and as you see fit. Let me know if you have any questions.

Congrats! Another solid season all.

Congrats to the Nutbags! Well played. Couldn't gain any ground these last few months.

Hey all! Pizza's are taking down the office for the 23 season. Fire sale happening. We are looking for youth and keeping cap.
-
Happy Opening day all! May all your UCL’s stay intact!
-
It is the standard as no other way to make sure everyone has chance to see and weigh in if necessary. Obviously if a matter only impacts one other person the direct message to that person should be used instead
-
Hey managers in multiple leagues....is this really how other leagues chat? It feels silly to comment on minor game/ league happenings on front page of the league. Are you in another league that uses a different system?

Draft moved back 30 minutes to help accomodate Bunt Cake. New start time is 430 pm Pacific time.
-
Any chance we could move to the draft time to 6:30 CST or 7:00 CST. I work my second job til 6:00.

So draft date is officially March 10?
-
I agree earlier is better because waiting just to see who gets hurt in ST or who's every teams 5th starter eliminates pre-season trading. Getting a proxy for Z and going earlier is my preference. Any of the earlier dates mentioned--Feb 18, Mar 3 or Mar 10 would work for me.

Waiting until end of March really throws off trades etc. The sooner we can draft, either by getting new owner or contracting team the better.
-
Can we explore a weekday in March at 7:00 CST. This weekend won't work for me and we don't have all the teams owned. The closer to opening day, the better. Opening day isn't until the 30th of March, what about March 25th or 26th?

The 3rd or 10th works for the pizzas
-
I am fine with the 3rd or the 10th of March. I would prefer not to have someone proxy draft. I would prefer not to have a draft with no manager to draft for one team. I would prefer not to contract. But as long as this draft is not on the 17th-19th of March and it does not go after 6:00PST if it is on Feb 18 - I am going to try really hard to make it work.

March 3 is better for me of those two, but otherwise I agree - starting a couple of hours later than 4pm PT is also fine.

My preference is for either March 3 or 10 in order to have a full league and a little more time to prep.
-
Of those options, I really dislike options 3 and 4. My preference is option 2, so everyone please let me know ASAP about your availability for March 3 and/or 10. And, I'm ok with option 1 if anyone knows someone who could proxy draft for Zs on Feb 18, send me a message. Thanks in advance to everyone.
-
A couple of options: (1) If someone knows someone who could proxy draft for the Zs on February 18, then I set the draft day for Feb 18; (2) There was at least one "hard no" for each of the 3 dates in March I proposed. A couple of owners advised that they were open on March 3 and/or 10, but those dates were not part of my original message. I could do either of those if its 4 pm Pacific time or later; or We draft Feb 18 likely with no owner for Zs; (4) We contract the team.
-
Thank you for everyone's input. So, the only date that works based on the input I received is February 18, which is this coming Saturday. Only problem with that is that the Zs team was abandoned by the system late last week because the owner did not pay his fees. Not sure if we will have an owner by February 18. I'd like to avoid doing a draft without one team being present.
-
Feb 17-19 are good for me. As well as March 3-4, 10-11, 17-19. Can generally make weeknights work if needed.

I’m available Feb. 17/18/19 and March 3/10/11/18/19. Generally able to make weeknights work as well.

March 10th or 3rd. The later, the better.

Z's have been abandoned for not paying fees by the Ottoneu system. It is one of many teams now available as an abandoned team on the "Claim a Team" page. If you know someone who might want to join the league and take over the team, let me know. Thanks in advance.
-
I'm going to look at everyone's input over the weekend and set a draft date and time. So look for that by Monday at the latest.
-
The weekend of March 17-19 is a pretty big no go for The Pizzas. Other than that we're very flexible.
-
Asking everyone to be as flexible as possible on the auction date and time. Finding something that works for everyone is always a challenge so thank you for your flexibility and helping to make this work in advance.
-
Suggested weekend draft dates: February 18-19, Feb 25, March 11, March 18-19 that I can do as of now. I could also do after 5 pm CA time on Friday, February 17, February 24 and March 3, 10, and 17.
With everyone being scattered across different time zones, during the workweek can be difficult to get a date/time that works for everyone but I'm open to ideas as well. Please send me a message as to what dates work for you.
-
Hello everyone. Just claimed this team. I have renewed and will work on making my cuts here shortly. As well as a team name change.

I've abandoned the Isotopes team. The owner had not been on the site since October, had not taken part in arbitration, had not made his roster cuts and had not paid his $20 fee for the 2023 season. If anyone knows of someone that might be interested in the team, please let me know.
-
Z's and Isotopes, you need to pay your fees for the 2023 season. I'd like to get moving on getting the auction draft date set up but want to make sure everyone is paid and "in" for the season. Please pay your fees ASAP or I will have to abandon your team. Please let me know if you have any questions.
-
Sorry for the wait, everybody. Thanks for the understanding.
-
FYI for everyone...Tanana reached out to me this morning advising that he had missed the deadline due to a family issue. There was no prejudice that I could see, I had him give me his cut list, which I just entered and you can see on the transactions.
-
Correction: Deadline is at 11:59 pm Eastern Time tonight. Sorry, too used to converting East Coast to West Coast time.
-
I still see 2 teams have not renewed. Last reminder to everyone that today is the cut deadline and deadline to pay your $20 fee for the 2023 season. If the fee is not paid by 8:59 pm Eastern Time tonight, Ottoneu's administration will automatically abandon your team and it will be posted for another player to claim and pay the fees. The deadline to cut players is also 8:59 pm Eastern Time tonight. Anyone on your roster as of 8:59 pm will remain there through the completion of the auction draft.
-
Reminder that the keeper deadline and the deadline to renew your team (i.e. pay the fee for the upcoming season) is January 31. Also remember that rosters are locked after the keeper deadline through the draft, so if you want to get trades done, get them done before January 31.
-
Good reminding! Extended Les Expos through 2024.

Hi everyone...A couple of reminders:. First, cut down day is January 31. Your roster as of February 1 will be your roster going through not the auction.
Second, it looks like 3 teams have renewed/paid for the 2023 season. If you are not paid by January 31, on February 1, the system will put your team on the Expired Team list that others can claim and pay for. Pay your team fee in advance so you do not inadvertently lose your team.
