OK i've done arbitration.
-
Believe me I completely understand the frustration. I’d ask again for everyone to please arbitrate. Arbitration allows you to add $25 of salary to the league. It helps with parity and is essential whether you are going to be the owner of your team or not. If someone decides to leave the league the team gets posted for someone to claim. The team will get claimed and the league continues. In my experience I have found that owners that are leaving usually arb for the good of the league.
-
I refuse to do arb until we hear from the commissioners. I don't believe I will be returning given their lack of giving a crap (and some other gripes not worth repeating) and so I don't feel it is fair to take part in Arb which I see as affecting next year, when I won't even be here.
-
Only half of teams have done arbitration. both commissioners disappeared. I like this format, but worried about lack of leadership. can we ask for a new commissioner?

i think a more important part of an active and healthy league is commissioners that log on, reply, fix errors as they said they would BEFORE we do arb, owners that set lineups, and other owners that dont defend that owner when called out for not setting lineups. just off the top of my head.....
-
2 weeks left to complete arbitration. I hope everybody participates because this is an important part of the Ottoneu structure...also showing we have an active and healthy league.
-
It’d be nice if more people chimed in. Haven’t heard from Brad for a few weeks. Rob checked out mid September. How are others feeling about things? I think we all need to arbitrate to keep the league moving forward. Plus Soto and Williams need to be moved back. Even if you think you might bail on the league please participate in arbitration. You have your team until January before you have to decide if you are staying or going.
-
Has this still not been done? Have Brad and Rob responded via other means to the two affected teams?
-
Brad and Rob the longer you leave Soto and Williams on Midnight’s team the more it will pollute the 2022 season. Please log on and make the move.
-
Haha yes...you can only allocate $3 to one specific team, but you only get $25 total to spend. So choose wisely on what team and what players you want to add money to. Here's a good article from last year about arbitration, for those that want to learn more about it: https://www.pitcherlist.com/ottoneu-arbitration/
-
Ha. Thankfully there are rules on how much you can allocate to any one team. It is important for everyone to participate in arbitration. It drives up productive player prices and helps shorten the window that each team can keep their star players.
-
For clarification...all your arbitration should go straight to Shohtani's team :)
-
Arbitration starts tomorrow. If anyone has questions please reach out on this message board or on Slack.
-
A good reference for things to come in the off-season: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/end-of-the-2021-baseball-season-megathread/10153. Brad...since nobody has objected, can you move the 2 players back to Shohtani before arbitration opens? Thanks!
-
No issue here putting Soto/Williams back on Shotahni's team. Looking forward to a fun off-season and year 2!
-
If you all look at the league settings, it was never a two week championship. Sorry for that confusion and also for being out of reach, but I don’t think anything happened that shouldn’t have.
I tend to agree that the Soto situation should be put to vote, but if no one has an issue we’ll replace him back to the original team.
Sorry again for being out of touch, but the league is definitely going to continue into the future. :)
-
There’s definitely a league next year. We’ll get everything sorted.
-
We will definitely have a league next year. There will be some turnover but that happens in every Ottoneu league. Let’s give Brad and Rob a little time. I know they were traveling together so I hope everything is ok. They don’t seem like the types to leave the league without letting us know. If they don’t reappear by the end of the season we will have to email Niv and get temporary commissioner access to someone we can agree upon.
-
That is awesome of you Threat Level. But I have to question at this point, do we have a league next year? One of two commissioners has been non-responsive since before the all-star break. No one but Sho and I seem to have an issue with another member that hasn't set a lineup since last winter, materially affecting the standings/results and thus the integrity of a fair league. I have to say, I'm not optimistic here.
-
Thank you.
-
FYI - I made a claim so the players would at least have their salary frozen and be on a roster once the season ends and the $2 is added. However, commish should remove from my roster and put back on Shohtani when able. We should not start arbitration with Soto and Williams on my roster or that will skew things. If any issues with placing these guys back on Shotahnis roster speak now or forever hold your peace.
-
Well that complicates things. Soto and Williams were mistake cuts. Obviously I’m not cutting Juan Soto
-
Still no word from the commissioners…hope everything is ok. It’s been over a week since either has signed on and they are not responding on Slack.
With that being said does anyone have an issue with Soto and Williams being placed back on my team? I obviously don’t want to cut them and should have actually paid attention to my thumb presses. Just want to run it by the group as well.
-
Thanks.
-
The matchups all say FINAL...so I assume it's over. Congrats on a solid season!
-
If anyone has an alternate way to contact Rob or Brad I’d appreciate it. I’ve tried messaging through the site and Slack. Not sure if the season is over or not. The site won’t let me set a lineup but I thought the finals were two weeks long.
-
Dude I’m stressing out…I picked three guys and then sorted by position. Not sure if that changed things. I never checked just hit the button and said oh shit
-
I think we should put it to a vote first (jk!)
-
Hey I accidentally cut Soto and Williams. Was cutting two other players and had fat thumb syndrome. Please commissioners put them back on my team. Sorry!
-
Hope this is okay to post but I'm starting an Ottoneu Basketball league if anyone is interested. Scoring format is traditional points format and the draft date is Friday October 8th at 6pm. $50 tier. Fire me a message if anyone is up for it.

I would think you could bid on someone if you like them. It is a keeper league. Don’t see any rules preventing it.
-
What's the cut off for keepable. For us losers, are we expected to continue to track all the players that are up for auction?
-
I sure didn't expect a -38 from Darvish...woof...
-
welp, i nailed Gleyber's -4
-
We can only hope Hitmen :)
-
All good here, I was able to get Gleyber's -4 pts and Kershaw's -11.87 pts into my lineup in time
-
You should now be good to go
-
Yeah there’s not much we can do. If you have a match up you can send rob or I your intended starters in a PM and if possible (I don’t know if it is) we can retroactively edit when the solution is fixed. Otherwise, I hope they fix it before the yanks game starts.
-
Looks like it’s an Ottoneu wide server issue. At least that is what forums are indicating.
-
It doesn't look like there are any matchups for this week. My guess would be because it's not a 2-week round that the semis will start next week. I'm sure commish(es) know better but that's the best I can come up with
-
Commish(es) I cannot set my lineup still and I have a 2 pm player today. Please respond.
-
Just an FYI…not sure if the site automatically sets matchups for this week or it has to be done manually but I can’t set my lineup yet. Usually things reset 6am EST
-
Yeah not looking forward to facing you. I’m hoping you just used all of your firepower this past week. And its 21-1 :)
-
Looks like the top two point scorers in the league in the semis! I guess that's best for me. Easier to upset a 20-1 team over one week than over two. Good luck!
-
Good luck everyone! I am actually nervous. If you’ve been watching closely I’m typically not the high scorer each week. My 20-1 was accomplished with a lot of smoke and mirrors. Anyone can win now. It’s going to be fun.
-
At least you get a grudge match to try and avenge the 1 point loss. Good luck everybody!
-
Ligers might only have one loss but I know he’s shaking in his boots :)
-
Bring it on! Good luck to everyone :)
-
Wow, that one point looks to have given me the 5 seed instead of 6! Now good luck to you this week so you get Ohtani next week!!
