9 pm eastern is perfect for me, I prefer 3/6, I’m ready to get going even if the season is delayed a week or two.
-
How about 3/6 or 3/13 9 pm eastern? Please chime in on which day you would prefer.
-
On the draft, I'd be in favor of doing it sooner rather than later just because I like to minimize the amount of time rosters are locked. Also prefer evenings post-8pm ET if possible, but I'm pretty flexible and will adjust as needed.
-
I’m not too concerned about a draft date, I typically prefer close to opening day but I’m not going to sweat it either way. As for times, Sun-Thurs after 8:00 pm eastern time should work for me, I have no problem staying up late either if the majority here are west coasters.
-
Hey all, hope the off season is treating you well. It looks like Feb 15 will be the keeper deadline so make sure to get cuts in before then. We also should start talking about draft dates or would you all rather wait until the lockout ends? Please respond here to give your thoughts.

Friendly reminder that league fees are due at the end of the month.

Hey all, after much thought I've decided that Ottoneu format is just not for me. Thanks to you all, hope you can find someone to take over my team. Good luck to you all.

Hey Chin, the keeper deadline is 1/31/22. People are making cuts now to start cleaning up their rosters, to send players they know they won't keep back into the auction, and cutting loose guys they believe have no trade value. As for the 60IL I believe those players have always counted as part of the salary cap and they will continue to give you an extra roster slot as long as they are on the 60IL, someone else can chime in here if I'm missing something.
-
do guys on the 60 IL now count towards total salary cap?

I see everyone making cuts. Is there a keeper deadline soon? I don't see it in the rules or league settings. Thanks

Hey everyone, sorry I didn't realize arbitration had snuck up on me. I guess I was in full fantasy football mode! I will get arbitration completed today. Thanks!

At the very least, we may as well wait until arbitration ends. If he doesn't post arbitration, then I suppose he's abandoned his team.

Hey all, the only team that hasn't completed arbitration hasn't been on since 10/5. Thinking about abandoning the team, thoughts?
-
Arbitration dates are the same as last year, 10/15-11/14.
-
OK, checking to see of I understand the rules of the month long arbitration period. During that month we cannot cut any players. I'm assuming we will see player salaries increase by $2, (or $1). And we'll be doing one of the two arbitration processes, either the allocation system, or the vote off system. Am I missing anything? Thanks in advance.

*Sorry, those arbitration dates were from last year. As soon as it's updated I'll post, you can also check by clicking on the wrench and screwdriver link in between the trade and messages link at the top of the page.

Arbitration is from 10/15-11/14. If anyone isn't planning on coming back please let me know.

Congrats to TEB. Great job all year. As a rookie, I had fun. I got a little bored sitting in 7th place with little hope of improvement, but the concept of building a team for the long haul and managing the money aspects present some good challenges. Thanks to the Commissioner for help by answer rookie questions and for other owners who have been helpful. I look forward to next year. Do we know when Allocation will begin? Last year it was October 15.

Congrats to the top 3 this year, great season guys. I'm excited for the off season and to get to work on this team.
-
Congrats TEB! I never felt like I had a chance to catch you! Looking forward to the offseason allocation, trading and getting ready for the draft.
-
Congrats TEB on chip and to Trash Can on the place. I just love this league! I'll be back in full force next season. Hope to see you all back in year 2!
-
I'll echo that, great season TEB - led it almost wire to wire. Great first year everyone, I'm looking forward to season 2.
-
Congratulations TEB bluebirds! Great job.

Yes, total domination! Congrats Bosawas!

Congrats on the title TEB, you crushed it this year!
-
Yes, that is correct. If someone else does place a bid and wins, you will get your original $16 back.

So, on June 1st I cut Marcel Ozuna when he was suspended for his domestic violence issues. I took a $16 cap penalty. On July 1st I could have put him up for auction, and if no one else took him I could then cut him and have a cap penalty of $8. Then on Aug 1st I could have cut it to $4, then on Sept 1st I could have cut it to $2. Is that correct?

i had $2 available before adding, because those players are already on my "balance" sheet i get some monies back if and when cutting them, here it was $5 coming back. now i have $7 available. ill be a bit better prepared if an opportunity i like arises here in the next few weeks. gl
-
Putting up players for auction 30 days after you've cut them is pretty standard Ottoneu salary management. If someone else wins the auction, the players full original salary is removed from your cap, if you win the auction then you can immediately cut the player and cut another half of their salary from your cap. I hope that makes sense, it's very common and it makes sense for all players to do it throughout the season to maximize the amount of free salary to bid on players late in the season.

I really meant to say that he must be a good owner since he's in first place, he knows the rules well and uses them to his davantage, as any one of us would to be competitive. I shouldn't have said gaming the system. That's not what I really meant. I'm a newbie to this Ottoneu stuff, and I'm just trying to learn all the ins and outs to best be an active and competitive owner.

See section V of the rules below. The immediate assumption “this team is in first so it must be gaming the system” seems a tad cynical.

-
They're players he had previously rostered at a higher cost and cut. When you then re-nominate them, you receive half of their salary back. Its a common practice in ottoneu and a way to free up some more cash.
-
Can someone explain to me what is the strategy behind the adds and cuts of the bluebirds. What's the advantage to adding four players at 7:15 pm and then dropping the same four players an hour later. I think I've seen that before, maybe I'm wrong. But, I'm assuming that since the bluebirds are in first place, the bluebirds are somehow gaming the system. I'd like to know what is he gaining?
