I think you know you are struggling when you have a 211 point Saturday and entur Sunday still down by nearly 200 points ...
-
Yes, that’s corrrect

I just happened to look at the "if playoffs started today" tab, and it looks like the playoff structure is 2 division winners plus 2 wild card (WCs division agnostic). Can anyone confirm if that's the case?
-
I might be late for the draft. But I have no money anyway.
-
A reminder to everyone that the draft is tomorrow - see you there!

Welcome!

Yes - keeper deadline is tonight (that's a standard Ottoneu setting that can't be changed)

Welcome! Is Keeper deadline tonight or is that a placeholder?

Hey Everyone. I am jeremy, new owner of crazy birds. I played Otto for several years but had to take last year off. So, just getting back in. I'm working on getting my team up to speed. Happy to do business before the cut deadline tonight.

Ok, we're set for March 16.

I am good with either date

Old Dogs are fine with either March 9th or March 16th, but we need to lock one of those dates down soon.
Old Dogs on
January 21, 2025 11:00 AM
-
I just found out that I had a trip pop up on the 9th and will be on a flight, so I can't make that. If we can't get the 16th to work, I'll just have to figure something out.
-
So it looks like the best draft dates are March 9 and March 16 in the afternoon (3 or 4pm) eastern time. If anyone can absolutely not make those dates, let me know ASAP.
For divisions, there are 6 votes for 2 divisions, 3 votes for 3 divisions, and 1 vote for 1 division. So we will move to a 2-division format next year.
Thanks all for voting.

divisions don't really matter much to me i will go along with whatever is decided, sent my responses for draft date
-
Don't know wether I translated the times zones right. I think, late afternoon or early evenings Eastern time would be best for me. This way I could draft during the night over here.
-
Missing some responses to the polls - I'll leave them open until Sunday. Thanks to everyone who's voted so far.
Blue Jays on

Just did this. Might complicate things because of my time zone.

got it, just did it again and saw the button this time. Thanks

I don't think your response saved unfortunately - you don't need to login or create an account, but there is a "Send Response" button in the bottom right (on desktop)

I just filled in my schedule. I did not login or create an account so hope what I input was saved. Thanks

Here is the poll for the draft date (select all dates/times that work for you): https://whenisgood.net/1285Draft2025
And the poll regarding divisions: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1B7eR5w-_FvsY3Kg2MXkZdLGTUb8X1nmQDyLg1CjysSU/edit

This all makes sense to me. Not sure why I assumed removing divisions would remove H2H. I'll await the poll, but this 2 division format seems to make a lot of sense to me.
-
Two divisions with the next two best teams in the playoffs would solve most of the imbalance we've seen in the last couple of years, and keeps the H2H format in tact
Rearden Steel on

I'm definitely not suggesting getting away from weekly H2H matchups. In fact, I'm considering leaving my Points league as I really prefer H2H.
-
Old Dogs would prefer 2 divisions and 2 Wild Card winners. Two division winners are obvious with total points being the tie breaker. Two Wild Cards would be teams with best records and not division winners with again total points being the tie breaker. I DON'T want total points to be anything but the tie breaker as that is why I like head to head leagues. If total points are all that matters then the weekly matchups might as well go away.

*Divisions* - I just wanted to get some dialog going. We could always go to 2 divisions if we don't want to rid divisions entirely. If that's the case, I'd suggest two division winners and the next 2 best teams get the Wild Card spots no matter what division they're in. So, conceivably 3 teams could get in from one division (if we keep 4 team play-offs). I think we discussed a 6 team play-offs last year too. This format, if possible would (almost) assure the top teams still get in. More to come.
-
I told the Commissioner recently. I am having to bow out for next season. Work and life is just too hectic for me at the moment to give Ottoneu the time it deserves. If anyone knows of someone who wants a competitive team and would like to join our league, please let me know. I have enjoyed the last few years, and think this is a great league with some very competitive players.

Figured it was a placeholder. Regarding divisions, I'm ambivalent (we'll see how the poll goes). But for my knowledge, if we removed them, how does that game work? Do we just go to a total points league? And then is there still playoffs? And if so, the top X number of teams get in?
-
I’ll also set up a poll on whether to remove divisions
Blue Jays on
January 5, 2025 11:31 PM

The Feb 1 date is an automatic placeholder - I’ll send out a poll shortly to schedule this years draft
Blue Jays on
January 5, 2025 11:30 PM

I am also on board with removing divisions
Rearden Steel on

If it pleases the group, I would be on board with moving the draft. I have a work conflict on the 1st
Rearden Steel on

Happy New Year everyone! Let's talk off season:
Is the draft really Feb 1st or is that just a placeholder?
Is everyone returning?
And has any thought been given to getting rid of the divisions as discussed last season?
-
Just a reminder that arbitration is open (ending November 14).
Blue Jays on

Arbitration starts October 15th, so I would guess everything is clear by then

Thanks for a fun year, guys. I'm already looking forward to next year.
When do cap penalties clear?

Thanks Blue Jays. It was literally all luck in the semis. Great league with a lot of competetive teams. I'm already looking forward to 2025.

Also, shoutout to Kyle Hendricks. I’m a Yanks fan by birth but been in Chicago for 15 years, Cubs season ticket holder. Went to the game today, didn’t realize his last start. Came in with a 6+ ERA. Pitched 7.1 shutout, 2 hits. Standing O and curtain call when he came out. Had a great 3-4 year stretch and last Cub remaining a part of 2016
-
Congrats to everyone. After BJ whooping my ass a few years in a row, I made it in this year without truly deserving it.
Also, props to me for being the last post in that stats correction thread!
-
Yeah. It makes sense logistically for head to head. But yeah brutal nonetheless.
Blue Jays on

Looks like stats get corrected later, but the results of H2H matchups remain the same anyway. That is, what I take from Niv’s answers. That is just brutal.
-
Good catch. I can look into the details, but my guess is it’s because of a stat correction: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/loss-with-higher-points/12117/10

Don‘t know what to do with it. But when you look at the results for week 23, it has flipped and now ABLA is in front with 3 points. So I should not be in the final I guess. Any ideas, what this is all about?
