Public flogging for me - deserved! Public appreciation; Grays fixing my mistake (crap does happen). I don't think K is a generational player, but i do hope all understand.

Okay, upon further, further review, I'll allow Kirilloff to be re-acquired given that the news of his promotion was after the attempt to re-acquire was made.
As a rule going forward, the only time I'll undo a move such as this will be if I'm immediately notified of the error. NO EXCEPTIONS. So please please please be careful. Use the league homepage that shows recent transactions to verify your intended move was made correctly.
-
I posted my note BEFORE he was brought back up...But whatever my mistake. Just make sure you NEVER UNDO a mistake by anyone else when it happens.

Just to keep everyone in the loop, I've gone back and decided not to add Kirilloff back to Iron.
As a rule of thumb going forward, I don't have any issue undoing something like accidentally dropping a player, but please let me know immediately when this happens. I certainly want to make the league fair for everyone, so I understand the concerns revolving around the recent news released about Kirilloff's promotion.
As always, feel free to reach out me with any questions.

I cut Kirilloff on accident - any way to bring him back ?

I signed up assuming/hoping that this league would stay together for many seasons. I'm glad to hear others share that :)

I agree Iron. Would love to see continuity in the league.

1 week down- Still a lot to learn about how Ottoneu works, but I think this is going to be a fun league. I really hope all of you are in for the long haul. I’m in 2 other leagues that have been going on CBS for over 10 years, its a blast competing with the same guys (or gals) every year.

I noticed that in a different league, turned out to be a bug related to starters who had been optioned since their start (Christian Javier in that instance). It was fixed today and everything should be set!
-
It’s been accurate for me, but sucks to be given the normal 10 when we had an extra half week.
Lots of learning to be done ...

Ok if it’s just me then this is awkward. But I was keeping track anyways of my starts and knew I used my 10. Just didn’t know why it said that for a couple days

No, I didn't notice anything weird. I had used 8 starters going in to yesterday and it showed 2 SP spots available. I had 2 guys pitch yesterday and today it shows no SP spots.
-
Did anyone else experience 10 starters but for a couple days it allowed an extra start? But now it’s back to 10

I'm my experience, I've learned a lot about MLB transaction and 40-man rules since starting Ottoneu!! But everyone also makes a few miscalculations in figuring out how Ottoneu works, cuz it is very unique! Keep asking questions and we'll try to help as much as possible!!!
-
Lol!! Ottoneu definitely takes a season or so to understand all the unique rules, but the IL is just really a roster organizer, the roster spots are automatically handled by the system based on status, so if a player is in a status that allows the MLB team to add another player to the 40-man (i.e. suspended, covid-19, 60-day IL), you will get an extra roster spot. If the status is anything else (i.e. 7IL or 10IL), you won't gain the roster spot.
-
good to know - thats not clearly defined. They also give you spots for minor leaguers in the roster management , so that's misleading. They count them against your 40 but dont let you put them on the IR. I sent an e mail on Sunday to the owners of the site, still waiting for a response. I promise NO TEMPER TANTRUM regardless. I still plan on winning the league haha

Rosters follow the MLB 40-man roster format... Unfortunately, that means if a prospect is not on their MLB team's 40-man, there's no 60-day IL to move them to, because there's no need to get that roster spot for the team.
-
good to know -I have two...I wouldn't have traded for them if I knew they wouldn't let me put them on IR. Winning this league is an up hill battle - but game on fellas...game on.

The system should mark guys on the 60 day IL that qualify and give you an extra roster spot automatically (Sale and Syndergaard on my team, for example). In the case of Whitley, my guess is that he doesn't qualify for the 60 day IL because he's always been in the minors and has never pitched in the majors.
-
How do you move a player to the 60 day DL? Whitley is out for the year??

So how does this sports ball thing work? How many points for a spare? Do I lose points if my guy misses a basket goal? Super excited to play! Go team!

I was up when all this happened and was like “ok why are these great players being cut.” But we should be able to find a owner especially since I don’t think the owner has to pay.

Do I have this straight? - Guy was not paying attention, makes a crap pick, completes the draft, makes trades, than decides he doesn't like his team, whines like a little bitch, and takes his ball and goes home.

Because it's already paid for, it should actually be a free team for the year, i think that's how it works anyway.
-
Pausing the trade is probably most fair, though it appears to have been made before the angry owner left and would have helped him by freeing up cap space. Still, probably most fair to let any adopting owner decide whether they want that trade. I hope we can find someone in time. If we can't should we just let someone adopt at lower than $75?

Niv is the creator and sole person who runs ottoneu. He's awesome and has built in tools to solve the problems (type in $51, rather than hit +1, restart draft, etc). I don't see how it's his responsibility to make sure the commissioner and player use those the way angry thinks they should!
Otherwise, agreed on pausing, also willing to pause the trade i had in place for Diaz, pending approval of the new owner.
-
Commish - at minimum I think we should freeze auctions and the waiver, reverse the cuts, and see if someone else will adopt the abandoned team.

Finding another owner doesn’t force Niv to address the issue he has on this site. Fuck him.
-
He could have reset the draft that had literally just started. Instead, he chose to wash his hands of it, or so he thought.
-
Ultimately I don't think your team is ruined by any means. I'd appreciate it if you didn't violate our TOS with your team name and considered continuing to play in this league. Either way we cannot offer you a refund because you bid more than you wanted to on a player. If we did that for everyone, we would not be operational.
-
I’m sorry about your poor experience. Instead of dropping your players what if we just found a new owner? I understand wanting to be out of everything because of the incident.

Hi Kirk,
The Ottoneu draft room has bid protection - if you bid within half a second of a bid changing, the site will not accept your bid. Hopefully you aren't planning to quit your league due to buyer's remorse.

Just to clarify, Mookie was bid up to $87 right before I hit the +$1 button to bid what I thought was about $50, not $88, which was the intent of this person’s action, to catch someone by surprise and stick them with an overpriced player
