Reminder that we will start the slow auction on Monday morning (probably around 10 Eastern time). I’ve imported rosters. Please check to make sure everything is accurate. Looking forward to getting started!
-
If you have not done a slow auction before the other thing to be aware of is the "max bid." You can secretly set the highest price that you are willing to pay, and you only end up paying $1 more than the second highest bidder.
-
We will start with 2 noms and then go to 3 noms on the second day. Once the player is won (it doesn't matter which team wins), the nominating team gets a new nom. So yes, that means that a maximum of 24 players (or 36) are up at once. Teams should nom in a timely fashion - if someone is just sitting on noms for longer than 24 hours I will assume they are finished and mark them as done. Otherwise this thing could drag on forever...
-
I've been playing around with the CM site, as I've never used it before. I see each team can have 2 players nominated at max during the slow draft? Does max nominations in the lower right mean that there is a max of 24 players available to bid at one time or can each team only nominate 24 players for the entire draft? Secondly, what happens if someone does not keep players actively nominated, do they lose the ability after awhile?
-
I haven’t heard any objections to starting Monday 2/12 so that is the plan. Please join the CM auction ASAP if you haven’t done so yet. I can’t import rosters until everyone has joined. Thanks!

Starting Monday 2/12 is totally fine with me if that is what the league prefers. Let's not start any later than that though.
-
Thanks Commish for setting this up. I'd personally vote for doing the auction the next week since I'll be travelling and will have very limited internet access. If the time is good for everyone else then I'll just do what I can.

Chubby, Fellas: reminder to please get legal before midnight Eastern tonight (maximum of 40 players, under $400 in salary)

Yes, Venados has no owner. And correct, keeper deadline is 1/31
-
Do we still have a team without an owner? Is the keeper deadline still Jan 31st?

Welcome to the league adisanfo5126.
-
The league currently has two openings. If you know anyone who is interested, teams are available on the Claim Teams page.
-
Hi all, I am taking over commissioner duties from Venados. (Thanks Venados for running the league all these years!) I hope to see many of you stay around but if anyone does not plan to renew, please let me know ASAP so I can try to find replacement managers before the cut deadline. And if you know anyone who would like to join the league, please pass along their info since we will have at least one opening and probably more. I hope you are all enjoying the offseason.
-
I see that the keeper deadline is this month. Not sure about the rest of you, but I have a couple of difficult decisions to make on my roster.
Good luck to everyone with the season. Hopefully, everyone is returning. And once again, congrats to Cricket for the great finish.
-
Yep, well done dark horse Clongowes! That's why I was pushing all summer for that coveted 6th place. Plus, that's why I love this format; and actually in a couple other leagues, we play with double payouts. First place at the end of August gets a sidepot, then we do the tournament. There might be teams open next year, so let me know if you're interested
-
Thanks Benchwarmers. You had me worried, especially with Kirby pitching so well today. Fun season! I will cherish this one. A lot of ups and downs, and I got pretty lucky with the timing of the ups.
-
Congrats to Cricket Club for finishing in 1st. Making playoffs as 6th seed, then winning it all. Nice job. You give hope to everyone next year.
-
frustrating season -- trade block updated
-
Mk. I get it now, thanks for the quick response.
-
Players on the 60IL and suspended players do not count towards the maximum of 40 active players
-
Can someone explain to me (like I'm a small child) about rosters and number of players allowed? I thought 42 was the number, then I see some have up to like 47. I'm currently at 41 and had to drop a player to be within the rules. What am I missing? Any help would be appreciated.
-
Well you made out like a bandit there lol
-
You guys offer some shit trades in this league.

Bryan Woo, is he on 1st?
-
Yeah, especially if you're aware of the Mandella Effect :)) .... but It was time for a rebrand
-
Good name. Even better emoji!
-
Nice name change, Yogi. I like it, clever
-
So the couch managers roster import put the wrong Endy Rodriguez on Chubby's team. He didn't notice until the correct Endy got nominated as a FA. I've added the correct Endy to his team, and removed the wrong one. I will try to end the auction, but haven't figured that out yet. Apologies to the team who nominated Endy.
-
Waiver wire is wild
-
Ok. We should be good to go. Double check your roster and let me know tomorrow if you see any errors.
-
Rosters have been imported. There were a few data errors, but Otto doesn't show me what they were. I'll have it all reconciled tonight.
-
Auction is LIVE!

Ooops heyyy just noticed this and joined the auction; please inport my guys and let's get 'er goin!
-
We're still waiting on a few managers to join. I've sent an email. We'll get started later today with 2 nominations each.

As we are reaching the end of the season, a few reminders:
1. IP limit is a soft cap, meaning if you're at 1249.0 at the start of the day and you have a pitcher throw 7 innings, the 6 "extra" innings will count and you'll end with 1256.0.
2. Playoff pitcher game started caps reset each week, even in a two-week matchup.
3. PLAN TO PARTICIPATE IN ARBITRATION starting Oct 15. It's a crucial part of keeping the league competitive.

Remember there are 2 C slots, but you shouldn't start 2 C every game. You'll quickly hit your games cap. The 2 slots are there bc C sit often, so it's a hedge against missing starts. Also, be aware that on your lineups page, your "Projected" games played number is based on no playoffs, but we have a 6 week playoff period. Caps are adjusted for playoffs, but the projected trend is not. Ottoneu may fix it, but it's low on the list. Apparently there are only 12 roto leagues with playoffs!
