The thing I have yet to learn about Otteneu is the loans part. I took over a team in another Otteneu pool and my total contracts where in the 500's.

Just reading a thread on Slack about filling first year rosters. It was suggested that keeping some money in reserve and a couple of reserve slots open is not a bad idea. It's just a matter of how tempting those last few $1 players are...
-
Hey Glen - You don't have to fill any or all of your reserve spots, however it you don't you'd have to drop player(s) to free up cap space to add players during the season. Since there is no additional FAAB the assumption is that you will fill out most or all of your reserve spots at auction - thus the estimate provided by the site. If you would like to discuss further shoot me an email and we can connect by phone.
-
Max bid -- I have noticed for my team the site says I have $61 free -- 25 roster spots with a max bid of $37. But what I really need is only 8 players. Is it a league setting that says I need to fill all reserve spots not just roster spots?

Draft #2 confirmed for Wednesday March 3 7:00-10:30
-
Reminder - pls email me and let me know if the new date of Wed March 3 works for Draft #2
-
Draft #2 date moved to March 3. Please check your email and let me know.
-
Date for draft #2. Please check your email.

Draft tonight. More spam!

That's weird. We are not a head-to-head league. Therefore, as per their Rules, there should only be 1 starting position for Catcher.
Ok, I'll wait to see the league interface once we start playing. Maybe there are two slots for catcher, but it doesn't make sense.
-
I reached out on the Ottoneu Slack channel and got instant response from two of big guys. Another great source of info if you are interested.
-
Confirmed - 2 catcher roster spots but you don't have to start two catchers. It was suggested to me that starting two might actually cause more damage than good.
-
I think there are two catcher roster spots if we had daily transactions not weekly. I will keep looking to make sure.

Joke's going to be on all of you when I find the market inefficiency and draft 35 catchers

According to the Rules, there is only 1 catcher in the starting lineup.
"In non-head-to-head leagues, a starting lineup consists of one slot at each infield position (catcher, first base, second base, third base, and shortstop), five outfielder slot, one additional middle infielder (second base or shortstop) slot, one additional hitter from any position (utility slot), five starting pitcher slots, and five relief pitcher slots."
-
I believe that is a Maximum cap, not a minimum cap.
Therefore, I only need One Catcher.
-
Checked around a few more places and am pretty certain we each have 2 active C slots - so if you were thinking you just needed one crappy catcher, you'll need two to try and reach your 162 game cap. Gotta love catchers!
-
After digesting the rules of Ottoneu.... I really Like it. :)
-
man, I'm slow. Ok, 22 players as follows:
C, 1B, 2B, SS, 3B, 2B/SS, Util
OF, OF, OF, OF, OF
SP, SP, SP, SP, SP
RP, RP, RP, RP, RP
-
Hmm. The rules still don't seem to specify number of players per position.
i.e 2 catchers? 9 pitchers?
-
Doh! I found it.
Under Rules. LOL.

-
How many players are on your starting roster? 26?
When are supplementary drafts? once a week? twice a week?
-
I'm confused. I don't see any rules...
How many players are we drafting? 40?
What positions are we drafting? i.e 2 catchers? 9 pitchers?
I don't see this info anywhere.
Help!

Draft date confirmed for Feb 16 7-11pm
-
We are 12 again! Stay tuned for a proposed draft #1 date and time.
-
Hey all. Thanks for letting me join your league. Looking forward to a fun season.
-
I have gotten interest from a couple of managers through Ottoneu - should have one of them onboard in the next day or two and then we can sort out our first draft day.
-
New draft date is a placeholder only.
-
Hi all - I sent out a couple of messages yesterday re: the draft and payment. Please check your email and if you didn't receive let me know.
-
Hey Darrell. A couple of reasons. While hopeful Jan 15 will work for everyone, experience tells me a couple of tries at a draft date are usually required. Plus this is the second of two drafts - the second draft will then be in Feb.
-
Hey I was wondering why we are having out auction so early. There's no arbitration in the first year right? Is it just excitement or am I missing something?
-
Now the hard part. Getting an auction date that works for all. Looking forward to this new format league!!

I should hear from my interested party this weekend. If he falls through, I'll let you know John. Thanks!

Hey guys. I do have someone interested if the 12th guy is a no show.

Hi all - I've got commitment from two others to join, they just haven't run their credit cards. So it looks like we have our 12. I think we've got a good bunch. Stay tuned for more info about the draft.

Frozen Tundra is out of province and the Chowdah Heads, I believe, are from our neighbours to the south also.

Max comes to us via Jason's recommendation. He lives in Seattle, so we've gone international! Bob let me know he is in.

who's the new guy?

Agree - not sure we can actually do it until Feb though - but a run through would be a good idea.
-
It would be nice to hold an auction in October sometime. But only between me and you for say.....4 players. Just so we know how their auction works.

Actual draft date to be confirmed. Will likely need two dates - maybe Feb 5 and 12

This sucks. I have no players.
