Hi All, last week's auction was a blast, I forgot how much fun they are compared to pick'em! I'm still good for this Sunday but just wondering if folks are up for an earlier start time or not, maybe 7 or even 6:30? Unfortunately I have to travel early Monday AM so I'm good to go until 11 but will need to bow out then. If not, no problem but figured it couldnt hurt to ask. If I don't have a team filled out by 11 I'll finish up thru waivers, not a problem...

Yup non h2h and arb-allocation was how I understood it on signup for the league.
-
We’re a non-H2H league with no playoffs and allocation arbitration. And there’s no way to override the trade block during the auction.
-
Is there a way to override Ottoneu so we can make trades during the auction draft?
-
I know we are utilizing the Fangraph’s point scoring system, but is this a head-to-head matchup each week or non head-to-head? If non head-to-head, are there playoffs? Is this something we need to vote on or is it setup automatically?
-
During the off-season, are we using the allocation or vote-off option for arbitration? This is something we should vote on (probably before we started the draft).
Everyone (especially us newbies) should read the rules section a couple of times as there are some unexpected/unusual or just different regulations for roster management.

Hey all, friendly reminder that the auction starts in 15 minutes

Hello everyone, My name is Seth. I'm looking forward to the season. A lifelong Braves fan, I am originally from Philadelphia but live in DC now. My co-owner Blake and I are new to Ottoneu.
-
You can see the nominations order if you enter the draft room. It’s the default order which I’m pretty sure is just the order we joined the league. As to getting the Tokyo series in, I’m going to be pausing the auction for a week but it’ll still be in progress, so I don’t think we’ll be able to get those games.
-
In what order will we be nominating players this evening? Also, I would suggest we try to get through enough rounds that everyone can field a starting team so we can include the games that start on Wednesday.
-
Hi all, just a reminder that the auction starts tonight at 8pm Eastern.
-
Hey guys, I’m Ryan, Marine Major stationed in Quantico, VA. Love playing fantasy baseball and being active. Looking forward to this!
-
Hey guys,
Jeff from Indiana. Longtime fantasy player, first time Ottoneu (and auction) player. Looking forward to the season!
-
Hi guys, Ethan here (the commish). Just wanted to remind everyone that the auction starts this Sunday the 17th at 8pm Eastern. I highly recommend people look at the FAQ (https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/support) and rules (https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/rules) beforehand. I'm a longtime fantasy baseball player in Virginia who's done Ottoneu once before.
-
Hi fellas. Derek here. Good to meet everybody. I’m a reformed New Yorker now living in Nashville, TN, where I run a small music-based company. I'm also new to Ottoneu and the Fangraphs scoring system but have played plenty of season-long fantasy baseball and DFS. I still consider myself a New York baseball fan but wish we had an MLB team here. At least we have the Texas Rangers Triple-A club. I'm looking forward to a fun season. I have a lot of hope for Ottoneu!
-
Hello everyone - Josh from upstate New York here, and looking forward to my first Ottoneu draft. Not to brag, but I have taken first place the last two years in my ESPN fantasy baseball league (H2H roto format). See you guys Sunday!
-
Hey guys, my name is Scott, and I'm from Memphis, TN. Like most of you it seems, I've been playing fantasy for a long time, but never tried Ottoneu. I'm looking forward to Sunday night, and excited about the new challenge!

Hey everyone - this is Will (Kinda Toolsy). I've played fantasy baseball before but have never played Ottoneu before. Glad you all are up for a challenge; many of us are in a similar situation. I live in northern Virginia, and while I've lived outside of Texas now longer than I lived in it, I still consider myself a Texan. For baseball, though, I root for the Nationals (the home team) but enjoy watching any live baseball (ok, not t-ball). Really nothing like sitting back and taking in a game.

Really looking forward to Sunday...this will be my first online auction but I’ve been in several auction leagues over the years. My other leagues are pick’em but I love auctions which is one of the things that drew me to Ottoneu. Oh yea, I’m Paul from New York, you guessed it, I’m a yankee fan but you won’t catch me overpaying for Yankees in this scoring system!
-
The evenings of the 17th and 24th work fine for me! My name is Guy (English pronunciation, not french, rhymes with pie)
I'm a long-time fantasy baseball, first time Ottoneu player from Yellowknife, Canada. Any other Canadians in this group? I manage a print-shop in my real life.
Looking forward to this.
-
Great! I’m looking forward to it. I’m not sure who is in this league, Will. Who from our other league joined? I haven’t figured out how to see the other league members real names. Is this everyone’s first time playing Ottoneu? Has anyone done auction style drafts before?
For those of you who may not know me, I’m Hugh. I am an umpire, calling high school (berween 8 to 12 games a week) baseball in south/central Texas. Oh, and when I’m not calling games, I work in real estate.
-
Looking at the poll results, it looks like the best time is Sunday the 24th from 8pm-11pm with the 2nd best time as Sunday the 17th from 8-11pm. I'm going to schedule the draft for the 17th and we will break it up over both of those days. So part 1 is the 17th, part 2 is the 24th.
-
I think we should split it over two evenings.
-
Please fill out the doodle poll with the time blocks that you are available for. If we finish the auction after the Japan series, we will not include those 2 games in the league stats. https://doodle.com/poll/mxzqmswn64queaft
-
It looks like we have a full league now! I’ll send out a poll with a variety of times so that we can figure out our auction date. The initial auction takes a long time so we may end up having to split it over multiple days.
-
the 16th works for me, new to ottoneu but longtime roto player, looking forward to doing a points league
-
The original placeholder date was listed as the 9th, but several people said that time did not work for them and expressed concern over that date. When the league fills I will put out a poll with date and time options so we can find one that works for everyone.
-
If anyone knows someone who would be interested in joining, feel free to send them an invite.
-
The current listed draft day is a placeholder. It will be updated once the league is full and we can decide on a time that works for everyone
