Happy deadline day! I realise I've made a lot of cuts but always eager to made some last minute trades. Will be responsive.

The league is full! Welcome to Lollygagging Ligaments! Remember the cut and trade deadline is tonight at 11:59 PM. Also a few teams still need to fill out the Doodle poll. It’s looking like Sunday March 13 is the best day so far for our draft. We will be setting a draft date in the next few days regardless if everyone has completed the pool. So please do it. Here is the link to copy and paste if you need it again. https://bit.ly/3snpNW3

Welcome Mudville!

Please welcome Mudville to the league (he took over for Matsui's team). We are still needing a manager for DEA's team, so if you know anybody interested in taking over, let them know we have an open spot.
-
Looks like both Matsui and DeHud failed to renew their teams. Both are posted under the claim team link. If anybody knows someone that may be interested please let them know. The quicker we get new owners the better.
-
These are good questions. As a lot of owners are first time Ottoneu players it’s important to ask the questions now so we all can learn. Also make sure your team has $1 available for every roster spot. If not you will be illegal. For example if you are keeping 30 players your salary has to be at or below $390.
Lastly please fill out Doodle poll for draft date availability. I’ll email a link to all owners now.

The deadline day was moved to Feb. 15.
As for not being under the $400 by the deadline I pulled this directly from the community forums…
What happens if a team is not legal after the keeper deadline?
Unless their commissioner helps them out, that team will not be allowed to participate in the auction draft. After the auction draft, they’ll have to make cuts to get legal anyway, and those cuts will not be penalty-free. So, it is pretty dire if you don’t get

Two teams did not renew. They have a 10 day exclusive window to renew their team. If they don’t their teams go to the public claim team section and anyone can claim them as a new owner. We will know tomorrow as that is the end of their 10 day window.

looks like keeper deadline is delayed

https://bit.ly/3snpNW3 Here is a link so we can get something on the calendar for our 2022 auction. Please go through and check ALL dates that you are available. Keep in mind, the auction typically takes ~4 hours. Once everybody has voted we will schedule the auction. Hopefully, we can find a date that works for everybody, but if not, we can get an experience Otto owner to be your proxy. Also, cut/trade deadline is Tuesday, 2/15 and it will NOT be extended, so plan accordingly.
-
So as a first time commissioner I am learning as we go. When an owner fails to renew by the deadline Ottoneu sends them an email. They have a 10 day window as the only owner who can claim the team and then it goes in to the public area where anyone can claim it. We are still waiting on two teams.
https://community.ottoneu.com/t/when-do-expired-teams-become-available-to-the-public/6903
-
Last reminder at least from me. We still have a couple of teams that have not renewed. If you don’t renew by the end of today 1/31 then your team automatically gets marked abandoned and any new owner can claim it. This is an Ottoneu league thing not league specific. If you want to continue take the time to renew ASAP.

Friendly reminder that everybody needs to renew their team by tomorrow (Jan 31st). If you do NOT plan to renew or stick around for next season, please let me or Shotani know as soon as possible. Still got 2 more weeks for trades/cuts so let's get after it!

Sorry about that. Use this link (https://community.ottoneu.com/t/ottoneu-on-slack/5774/273) and post your email address on the forum. You will then get invited to join the Ottoneu Slack channel...and from there we can add you to the league channel.

Just send me a message to my team directly...or you can post it here. Hitmen, you should be in the league Slack Channel now.
-
Not sure how to DM you but my user name is tavo2311
-
And yes, the original Center Field of Gravity Slack group will eventually be shut down, so I want to make sure we all transition to the new channel. Let me know if you have any issues getting in or joining the Ottoneu Slack group.
-
Also, we are creating a new channel within the official Ottoneu Slack page for this league. If you're not a part of the Ottoneu slack channel, please join that by using this link: https://bit.ly/3GwNW2h. If you're already in the Ottoneu group, please send me a DM with your Slack user name so I can have you added to the league channel (#center-field-of-gravity). This will be a great tool to communicate about this league but also be exposed to the groupthink of other Ottoneu owners.
-
Correct...I'll give it a few more weeks for the auction day poll since we won't want to draft until later in February. MLB Spring Training is *supposed* to start on Feb 26th, and the regular season is *supposed* to start on March 31st - but hopefully, the lockout is concluded soon!
-
No the draft day is not Feb. 1st as it is showing. When we changed the rules from one matchup per week to two it automatically set that date and there is no way to change it back to pending. Threat Level Midnight will be posting a Doodle poll after the 1st asking for everyone’s availability. We are still waiting on a team or two to decide if they are sticking around.
-
No. I believe there will be a poll posted on the message board sometime soon and we will vote for a draft day.

I agree we all could communicate more (including myself). Looking forward to this next season of Ottoneu if baseball goes ahead! Big fan of the H2H format.

Lastly regarding communication. Using my past Ottoneu experience as a reference I would characterize this group as really quiet. :) The more we communicate and interact the greater the return, at least that is how I see it. A bad trade offer is not an attack on anyone's intelligence and not responding to messages because you may think they are stupid only lessens the experience. Please take 30 seconds to reject the offer and give a quick response to messages especially on the message board.
-
Later this month Threat Level Midnight will post a Doodle poll on the message board so we can more easily find a date for the draft. Please fill it out when you see it so we can solidify the plan quickly. Some owners have multiple teams hence multiple drafts. With our busy personal lives finding an acceptable date can be challenging. If we are all flexible and communicate it hopefully will go smoothly.
-
I thought I'd touch base and let people know about a few upcoming deadlines. If you are planning to give it a go for another season you have to renew your team by 1/31. If you are not planning on coming back let us know so that we can mark your team as abandoned which enables us to find another owner. Also all of your cuts have to be completed by the end of the day 1/31. Your team must be under $400 and legal with all positions covered and $1 for roster any unfilled roster spots.
-
Ok so 10 of the 12 owners have all signed on since the last post requesting feedback about changing to two matchups per week from last years one matchup. There have been a few positive reactions and zero negative reactions. I can only assume that nobody is opposed to the change. Therefore I did make the update and we will be playing two matchups per week. I hope everyone has a happy and safe holiday!
-
Ya, I like 2 matchups a week as well.

let's do it.

Guys please provide any feedback positive or negative on possibly adding another matchup to our weekly schedule. I’m in favor of it but would like to hear others thoughts. Obviously nothing will be changed if the majority of the owners are against it. Please post your thoughts on this message board.
-
Lastly let’s all welcome Big Papi memories to the league. He is an Ottoneu veteran and brings multi league experience. I for one am looking forward to playing against him.
-
Also Vandelay Industries has been abandoned so if you know anybody that might want to join please let them know.

Hey Guys! Chris (Threat Level Midnight) and I are now co-commissioners. I promise you we will be attentive to any issues and answer any questions as promptly as possible. If you have ideas or concerns on how to make this league better please reach out on this message board or personally to myself or Chris. We are thinking of adding a weekly matchup to the schedule so we’d be playing two teams each week. This should help even out the standings. That means 44 games instead of 22. Thoughts?
-
Just wanted to let y'all know that Brad, from Brad's Team (duh!) has decided not to return to the league. I have marked his team as abandoned, so if y'all know of any active owners that would like to join...let me know!
-
Also, I would like to correct the roster error (Soto + Devin Williams) made by Shotahni at the end of the regular season soon. Again, post here or shoot me a message if you are against me correcting that issue and placing Soto + Williams back on his roster.
-
Hey guys, I've had Niv add me on as a commissioner in hopes of helping keep the league around for year 2 (and beyond). If the original commissioners come back and show they're planning to be involved I'll happily take a backseat. If not, I would like to add Shohtani on as a co-commissioner so that there is always a backup or checks and balances to keep the league working fair. If you have any objections to this please post here or shoot me a message. Thanks!
-
I agree that there needs to be a change. Neither commissioner has responded in weeks and they are the only to two teams that didn’t arbitrate.
-
HOW CAN YOU BE COMMISH IF YOU DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN ARBITRATION? MAN-UP GUYS, OR TURN THIS LEAGUE OVER TO SOMEONE ELSE.

I enjoyed this format and hope to be back next year but I would agree that the lack of communication from commissioners for this long is rather concerning.

Thank you! But you have to use all $25 or none of it will count. You still have $5 left over. The rules are that $1 must be put on all teams and you can’t add more than $3 to any team.
