45 minutes until the slow draft begins!
-
There was some ambiguity with the date I have now realised. The intent was to start the draft Feb 5, at 7PM ET. Or 2 hour, 45 minutes from now.
Also to confirm again this is a slow draft on couchmanangers.
-
Hi all, draft will start at 7PM ET. No pressure to nominate immediately as for Christian it will be 1AM for example, just remember to check in and make your noms/place bids.
That’s 11AM for those in developed Australia, 9PM in Brazil.
Happy drafting.
-
I believe all rosters have now imported correctly. Has everyone had a chance to acquaint themselves with couch managers?
A few important notes:
- Never use the 'make max bid my actual bid' option
- Positional Eligibility for players may not always match Ottoneu, so use Ottoneu when in doubt
- We will have 24 hour nominations, bids will add 8 hours to the timer
Before we start, does anyone have any questions? We can start the draft on Sunday the 5th at

Fine thanks

Hi mate, we are doing a slow draft on couch managers - I'll import the rosters for the last couple of teams that joined and we can then schedule a slow draft time.
-
Went to auction draft room, then realized it was a slow draft, went to couch managers but nothing there either, when is the slow draft starting. Just want to know if I'm missing something here Thanks

I've got a great idea ...we start without them!
I need all the help I can get and that may mean I climb up to 11th place this season
-
Hi all, Still waiting on 3 managers to join, would appreciate if you can take the time to jump in the draft room so we can set up and verify keepers and schedule an auction start.
-
password is ducktime for joining the auction
-
Hi all, here is a link to the draft room:
https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/index.php?auction_id=389
Please join and name your team so that I know who everyone is, once all teams have joined I will assign keepers and import salaries.
Thanks
-
Now that the cut deadline has passed...
I will post up here over the next day or so the draft room, once we have confirmed everyone has been able to access it ok, we will schedule a draft start time.
-
19 mins for cuts!
-
Just over 24 hours left for cuts!
-
Hi all, just a quick update, once cuts have been finalised I'll set up a draft room on couch-managers for the slow draft (we used this last season) I am aiming to have things set up so that we can make sure everyone can access the draft by the weekend following the cut deadline. Aiming to start the draft on the 3rd/4th of Feb. Let myself or quack of the bat know if you have any concerns with this
-
Hi all, one week left for cuts (deadline 31.1.23) we couldn't reach a consensus for a draft date so we will be moving to a slow draft starting early Feb. More details to come over the next week on how this will work but likely looking at 24 hours per nom + 8 hour resets, likely 1 nominations per team to start, and we will increase noms as everyone gets used to the platform.
Likely using Couch managers and I will import post-cut rosters so that player availability is mirrored.
-
Just realized I forgot to post this on here - please fill out this poll to help us set the draft date. Thanks!

Great to have you aboard Papi, we now have 5 countries represented in OWO! We're all mostly in our second year in Ottoneu but getting a crash course on it :)
We have a Discord for league comms if you want to join, https://discord.gg/D6aRDzQq, but we also post everything here so no worries if you want to stick to the league board.

Alright, good job everyone, arb is all done. Big ups to emptyflight who came to the rescue and proxy arbed for Eeephus All Stars.
Hot stove season officially opens up on Tuesday Nov 15, next important date after that is the Jan 31 cut deadline. We'll start discussing possible dates for our draft soon, probably late Feb/early March?
-
Reminder to get in arbitration, if you are doing it last minute please drop me a note so I don't bug you. It's really important that everyone does it.
-
Congrats on a dominant win, Strawberries!! And congrats Yordongs and Delicious Moments for rounding out the podium!
Thanks everyone for making our league happen, it's been really fun competing with and getting to know everyone here. This offseason should be a lot smoother with no strike looming, a shorter draft and a general understanding of the format.

It’s the bat’s doing
-
Longoria? Is that your doing Mike?
-
Hey everyone. Just letting you know I may not be very responsive to messages and trade requests etc for the next week or two as I'm packing up a house to move interstate this coming weekend.
-
Haha, after my great trade for Scherzer I manage to get Woodruff right when it turns out that he has numb fingers. Might be a problem for a pitcher.
-
Regarding that trade, I offer to be Tommy Pham as I'd love to slap Nick
-
oh great, i get to be dominated by mike in another league

Willkommen. Bienvenue. Welcome.

Big welcome to Andrew, who is taking over Sad Rockies Noises, and Mike, the new manager of the Toccoa Tigers. They come to us via the Australian connection, though Mike is in the Bay Area (once again we span all four U.S. time zones). You guys get a penalty-free round of cuts, just make sure you make them all at once. Oh, and if you take over the lead, just know that you'll inevitably fall to at least 6th place within a few weeks.
-
Something's gotta give - we couldn't fire the hitting coach, so we changed the team name
-
It's trade-a-palloza, come on everybody join in
-
Just wondering if anyone has any interest in Semien

New draft (OWO Slow Draft II) to start as soon as we all hit 3 nominations in Slow Draft I, please join: https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/?auction_id=136
-
**Re. SLOW DRAFT** I made a little spreadsheet to try to keep track of how many nominations everyone has. If you already have 3, just hold up a little bit, let's get everyone up to 3 and then I'll pause it and create a new auction (with the right settings) and we'll pick it up from there.

Slow draft starting Thursday, sign up for couchmanagers / our draft at https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/index.php?auction_id=91.
For more details, go to https://discord.com/channels/902279621238726697/902292523119157278/950146350341820467

Hey all, don't forget to fill out this form as we try to schedule a few more live draft sessions (https://forms.gle/yGY5zX9xwa8un8zv8), but also please sign up for couchmanagers, we'll probably need to do some slow drafting to complement our rosters. Thanks!
-
*couch managers password is owo2022
-
Also, please sign up / join our slow draft room on couch managers : https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/?auction_id=91
We will be moving to that starting next week. Join us on Discord to help us sort out the details. So far we are going with 3 simultaneous picks, 6 hour time limits. Still not 100% sure on the time windows (for example, we can't start all picks at our usual draft time because they would end at 2 am for Christian in Berlin). We might go with staggered start times.
-
Reminder that next draft session is scheduled for Sunday, February 27, 2 pm EST (12 pm MST / 8 pm CET / Feb 28, 6 am AEDT). See you there!
-
Please fill out the draft poll here: https://forms.gle/QnhMpc1Q28g7fnPU6
We are hoping to get one or more 1-hour sessions in over the next week or so. This will probably be our solution to fill out most of our roster spots, but if we have to we might go to a longer session on the last weekend of March.
-
My apologies everyone, but our draft session tomorrow is canceled. Let's get together next week to figure out if we should reschedule another live draft or go to a slow draft -- there's supposed to be CBA meetings every day starting Monday, so we might have a better idea as to what's happening with the season by Tuesday or so.
-
Yes, the message app thingy we use! Thank you, Sam! lol

And by Slack, Icaro means Discord
