The draft has been ended & rosters imported. there was a discrepency with 3 players (Ottoneu didn't say who) but I'm trying to fix that now.
-
Last call for auctions! Once the queue is empty I think we can call the draft done. ETA tomorrow.
-
Current settings are 12h when an auction is started, 9h reset when a bid is placed.
-
Every time a new bid is made it gets reset 8 hours typically
-
Hi guys — how come the auction time got extended for Turner and Trout? Still getting a grasp for the platform and draft format.

Sorry, east coast bias. I'll just leave the auto-pause OFF.
-
No pause may be even more fair tho…

12-6 in what time zone?

Could you make that 8 am not 6 as 6 means 3 am on west coast so big disadvantage
-
I turned on auto-pause for 12am - 6am
-
The auction draft should now be active!

(obviously) holding off until Friday 3pm ET. speak up if you need the start delayed further.
ALSO heads up, Couch Managers & Ottoneu deviate a bit on position eligibility. e.g. Mookie is eligible for 2B/SS/OF in Ottoneu but only 2B/OF in CM.
-
Can we have 24 hours notice to start to finish draft prep.
-
THYR will be starting the slower draft later today around 3pm or so. Good luck everyone!

12/12, all league keepers imported to CM. Might want to sanity check your rosters in CM. Else I think we can start rocking.
-
Giambinos on board... I wrote a wrong name: 'Bartolos". Still trying to change it 😂

11/12 now - we're only missing our returning champion, Giambinos. the rosters should be current on CM.
-
I see 7/12 in there now, so we're getting there. And it's a work day, so there's no reason to not get it filled in the next few hours 😛

Don't worry about your current team. I can import all the current teams once everyone is registered in CM. My team is filled out in there because I was testing out the import feature. I'll reimport for everyone once we're all in CM.
-
Do we just manually input our team in CouchManager or is there an import feature? I’m not able to find it if there is. Thanks!
-
First time for a slow draft for me, but let me know if I can help with rosters or anything.
-
okay all work with me here... the full process seems to be (1) set up empty couch managers draft ✔️ (2) everyone registers in the couch managers league 🔜 (3) import current ottoneu rosters to CM (4) do draft (5) export CM draft results to ottoneu. speak up if it sounds like I'm messing something up, lol.

Perfect. When it's set, I can reach out to everyone to make sure there are no conflicts, and we can begin.

To be clear I meant getting the config set up. Wasn't planning to start until everyone is ready.
-
Thank you THYR for handling this auction. I appreciate the help more than you can imagine. I think you may need commissioner access for the imports of rosters. I will add you immediately. Again, thank you very much!!!!

Can we have a couple of days to set up draft lists before timers begin.

Thanks for taking this on, Horse!

12-hour timers with a 9-hour reset?

I'm happy to get it set up, though it won't be until this evening at the earliest. So if you have settings requests, get them in now 😛
-
Thanks again Otto. Hang in there (little cat poster) there is no better way to keep a fun league going than putting out $500 from your own pocket... I gotta give credit to Otto who paid the Giambinos before the season ended! Playball!

All teams are now claimed, and all rosters legal. Thanks everyone!! Draft is up next. I'm still very very slowly recovering so please bear with me. Does anyone in the group have experience running a couchmanagers draft? If so, I'd be thrilled to have someone run that for us. Please contact me if interested. Either way, we'll get it knocked out soon. Again, the league winner this year gets $500. Tolosa and ElPollus are eager to win it again, but several of us have other plans. 😂

Howdy everybody. Just claimed the last abandoned team. Like Rodon my first time back in Ottoneu in years.
I'll get my cuts in later today. Slow draft works for me.

Welcome to Horse you Rodon!! One more team to go and we'll get auction lined up

👍 I was trying to get it done when I claimed the team but my kids didn't allow me enough time... Should get it done tonight.
Btw the Hogs team is vacant so if anybody knows someone looking for a team, that's a good one to suggest.
-
Welcome. Just a reminder you get a round of cuts to get below budget but have to make all at the same time.
-
Hey all! I have claimed Salvatore's team. I haven't done Ottoneu in like 8 or 9 years(!) so I'm looking forward to it. Slow draft sounds good to me, though I've never done it.
-
Hope you’re recovering smoothly Otto! I’m happy to participate in whichever draft format works the best for the group.
-
Hope you keep recovering Otto, I feel you. I just had one elective surgery yesterday and between the physical recovery and (for me) the emotional drag (why did i do this!?) it's been exhausting. Good to go with the slow draft. Should we start now or am going too fast?

The slow drafts are fun and eliminates the hastle of finding a date that fits everyone's schedule
-
I love the slow auctions on CM
-
Hope you're doing okay, Otto! I've never done a slow draft before, but will be trying it for the first time in another league. I'm open to trying it as well, especially with how busy I've been lately.
-
As a new member, I don't feel like I'd attempt to stand in the way. I'd prefer a fast auction, as I've never tried slow, but I guess, trying something new works.
-
I am good with a slow draft.
-
Given scheduling difficulties trying to get everyone lined up slow draft makes sense. At least try for one year.
-
Hey commish, sorry to hear the recovery is slower than expected. Glad you are well.
For auctions, about half of mine are slow this year, and I am fine with the format. I do prefer fast auctions, but as a fellow commish, I understand how difficult they can be to schedule. And slow auctions are pretty slick.

Also, I have just participated in a slow auction in another ottoneu league via couchmanagers.com. That was a first for me, and I really enjoyed it. I'd like to hear feedback from you guys on slow auctions. I'd be very open to doing that here. But if there is strong oppostion, we will arrange a traditional one once those two teams are claimed. Thanks guys!

sorry for being out for a while. recovering from some elective surgeries has been a larger undertaking than expected. I'm all good though, just moving slow. We need to get two new managers and get cracking on a draft. As a reminder I am continuing to put up a $500 cash prize to the winner of this league. So if any of you have a friend interested, get them to claim one of the two vacant teams. I'll put a notice out on the ottoneu forum in another day or two and mention the prize.

Okay by me.

No issues for me. Commish's call.
