• Just a reminder that the first matchup only runs through March 30. So there’s only like…4 days left in this matchup.

  Maine Beer Trails on March 18, 2025 10:12 AM

• Season officially begins in about 8 hours. Good luck to everyone this season!

• Divisions are fixed and set. Here is the "history of the league" file I hope to now keep updated each year with some better accuracy. Feel free to go add your name and years in this league to the yellow cells in columns J and K.

  Looking forward to the first game at 5 am on Tuesday!

  Arthurian🗡Legends on March 16, 2025 4:56 PM

• Niv responded swiftly in the forums. He said he would sign it for us and adjust schedule as needed this weekend. So we should be good by season start.

  Arthurian🗡Legends on March 14, 2025 10:59 PM

• Division names are solid, hopefully we can workout the realignment

  Balls Deep ⚾️🇨🇦 on March 14, 2025 10:52 PM

• Name changed as well. RIP Erebor for now. I'm open to other suggestions. I just like the idea of baseball as a pastime and who doesn't love the Seattle Pilots. And the Expos for our Canadian fellows in the league.
  But I'm open to other suggestions!

  Arthurian🗡Legends on March 14, 2025 10:50 PM

• I just tried again, and it didn't work. Let me check forums or Niv. Maybe it won't "realign" until the start of the season? Not sure.

  Arthurian🗡Legends on March 14, 2025 10:38 PM

• Well division names did, teams didn’t

  Balls Deep ⚾️🇨🇦 on March 14, 2025 10:36 PM

• Actually it saved! Perfect

  Balls Deep ⚾️🇨🇦 on March 14, 2025 10:35 PM

• I will try to resort just by record.

  Arthurian🗡Legends on March 14, 2025 10:35 PM

• I changed the division names already. I also changed the divisions a couple weeks ago. I split the top 2 seeds and then split the 1st/2nd place teams. Then alternated by record from there. Apparently it didn't save. :-/ I will try to switch it again and see if it sticks.

  Arthurian🗡Legends on March 14, 2025 10:34 PM

• Hey Art. Can we get some new divisions this year. How about splitting by order of finish? And new division names would be cool as well

  Balls Deep ⚾️🇨🇦 on March 14, 2025 10:32 PM

• Congratulations on completing the 2025 slow auction draft! Our league should now be LIVE for cuts, trades, auctions, etc. Season starts on Tuesday, so check back Monday or Tuesday morning to set your lineups for any LAD or CHC players!

  Arthurian🗡Legends on March 14, 2025 10:04 PM

• It's a no-pause draft. That's part of the reason for the 12 hour resets on new high bids.

  Arthurian🗡Legends on March 10, 2025 9:45 PM

• What time does the draft pause?

  Balls Deep ⚾️🇨🇦 on March 10, 2025 9:44 PM

• Draft is live over on Couch Managers!

  Arthurian🗡Legends on March 10, 2025 12:22 PM

• Oh, one last thing. Example: If you fill all your bench spots but only have 4 OF, it will not let you bid on anything but OF. So like I have 5 OF right now, but only 3 are OF on CM. If I tried to draft all pitchers, it would stop me at 38 players and only let me bid on OF from then on. It's a stupid quirk, but it might matter. Plan ahead.
  I could theoretically change all hitter CM spots to be open to all hitters, but I thought that might confuse people when you see Freeman as SS eligible o

  Arthurian🗡Legends on March 9, 2025 5:11 PM

• As always, message the board or me privately with concerns or questions! Good luck tomorrow everyone!

  Arthurian🗡Legends on March 9, 2025 1:52 PM

• Alllllll right everybody. Barring issues, we should be good to start TOMORROW (Monday) MORNING. Nohtani will get reregistered, and then I'll upload and check the rosters (it uploaded correctly last time best I could tell). Then we should be set to start tomorrow!
  
  Reminders: You only get 40 spots for the draft even if guys are on 60IL. Auctions can be started on ottoneu after that. You do NOT have to leave CM with all 40 spots filled, but you also can't intentionally delay your nomin

  Arthurian🗡Legends on March 9, 2025 1:52 PM

• Looking forward to getting this rolling!

  Cutch's Crew 🏴‍☠️ on March 9, 2025 11:08 AM

• Good news: it seems like Couch Manager is good to go. Bad news: it reverted to like Sunday’s data. So a few teams need to rejoin the draft. Then I can reupload the keepers. Then we can get started. I think the realistic plan should be to plan starting Monday morning, but to do that, I need everyone to log in and check that they’re still registered for this draft(and re register if not!).

  Arthurian🗡Legends on March 8, 2025 7:50 PM

• In Mexico 🇲🇽 and can't wait to start this draft! I'm like a kid in a candy store. Greta job keeping us posted.

  The Brew Jays 🇨🇦 on March 8, 2025 12:35 PM

• That all sounds good to me. Thanks for working through this for us!

  Lightsaber Metrics on March 8, 2025 10:52 AM

• I kind of figured you would have that covered! Good job. 24 works for me

  Balls Deep ⚾️🇨🇦 on March 8, 2025 10:44 AM

• Yeah assuming we start tomorrow or Monday we should be okay. But I also considered that. Previous years we went from 2-3 after 50 drafted. This year maybe we do it after the first 24 or something?

  Arthurian🗡Legends on March 8, 2025 10:43 AM

• Not sure if it would speed things up, but should we start with 3 noms each instead of 2

  Balls Deep ⚾️🇨🇦 on March 8, 2025 8:57 AM

• Draft Update: Couch Managers is still down. Niv said they’re hoping to get things running today or tomorrow. My hope is to start our draft on CM with like 24 hours notice here so no one misses the start of it. I’d rather be drafting but for now, we wait!

  Arthurian🗡Legends on March 8, 2025 8:43 AM

• Supposedly Couch Managers will be up this weekend or Monday. I really hope it is because if it isn’t, we will have to figure out…something.
  
  Draft will not be started today. It might start this weekend? I don’t know. Sigh.

  Arthurian🗡Legends on March 7, 2025 11:00 AM

• FYI: I will keep everyone updated via postings here. But Couch Manager is unfortunately dealing with server issues. (Thread about it here: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/couch-managers-down-3-2-2025/15240/24).
  
  Hopefully things are up and running tomorrow, but if they aren't, then I will delay the start of our draft or pause it or...I don't know. Something. Hopefully he gets it working because I'm not sure of a good alternative plan. :-/

  Arthurian🗡Legends on March 6, 2025 4:11 PM

• Couch Managers is set! Draft begins tomorrow morning! 2 noms per team. 12 hour resets on new bids. 60IL doens't work with CM, so you will only get 40 spots for the draft. People don't have to fill their 40 in the draft, but there will be a final call on nominations as we near the end. Let me know if you have any questions, and good luck tomorrow at the start of the Couch Managers draft!

  Arthurian🗡Legends on March 6, 2025 12:27 PM

• The draft pool is now complete and ready for the draft on Friday March 7th starting around 8 am CST. Remember we will have 12 hour time limit resets for each new high bidder.
  Please take the time this weekend to go register for Couch Managers draft. The password is still Erebor. Please make sure your team name is something similar to your name on here.

  Arthurian🗡Legends on February 27, 2025 4:29 PM

• Thanks for having me! Excited to get started. This is my first venture out of my home league - H2H and slow draft are opposite what I'm used to so it should be a fun experience. Gonna work on free cuts today and look forward to getting the ball rolling!

  Maine Beer Trails on February 24, 2025 10:01 AM

• Correction: Welcome to MAINE Beer Trails. In other news, I have the Couch Managers draft created. Once everyone registers, I can upload the current rosters to the draft. Assuming no hiccups, we will be starting the draft on March 7th in the morning.
  
  Please go sign in to Couch Managers and sign up for this draft. The password is still Erebor. Please make sure your team name is something similar to your name on here.

• Hey all, while looking for a replacement for our league today, I ended up joining a league. And then that commissioner decided he would try out our league. So we now have replaced Hub with Maine’s Beer Trails! He will make some penalty-free cuts, and then we will be good to go for Couch Managers draft starting Friday, March 7th. Welcome to the league!

  Arthurian🗡Legends on February 21, 2025 5:09 PM

• If no one has any leads on people who might want to take over Hub's team, let me know. Otherwise, I think tomorrow I'm going to make our league public in hopes of enticing someone to claim the team on the "Claim Abandoned Teams" page instead of using just the forum to try and advertise the team.

  Arthurian🗡Legends on February 20, 2025 12:55 PM

• No preference here, I do think they should be realigned though

  A Love Supreme on February 19, 2025 9:43 AM

• Random is fine. Really I have no preference

  Chico's Bail Bonds 🇨🇦 on February 17, 2025 4:01 PM

• If I were to realign the divisions, would we prefer random alignment or like alternating by overall record the last year or two? Or should I just leave them alone?

  Arthurian🗡Legends on February 17, 2025 3:55 PM

• I have posted on the community forum to begin replacing Hub City. It'll kind of be a first come first serve, so if any of you know someone who might be interested, make sure you chat with them soon!

  Arthurian🗡Legends on February 15, 2025 3:01 PM

• Apparently, he needs to go to https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/claimteams and claim the team there.

  Arthurian🗡Legends on February 10, 2025 9:40 AM

• try swakeford

  Balls Deep ⚾️🇨🇦 on February 10, 2025 9:31 AM

• Ok, I messaged him. Also, I am working on another owner for Hub- guy is solid and knows his stuff, just hoping he has the time to commit

  Balls Deep ⚾️🇨🇦 on February 10, 2025 9:26 AM

• I need ohtani's username. It automatically booted him from the league, so I will need to readd his username to be owner of the team. Can you message it to me?

  Arthurian🗡Legends on February 10, 2025 9:20 AM

• Just spoke with Ohtani and he will renew tonight. He forgot all about it
