When is the auction going to be? This is not an accurate time is it?

Otto League renewals are due by January 31. If you will not renew for 2020, let me know now.

So I am looking to make 1 last trade before the deadline. Looking for a young cheaper guy willing to move soon he peices including the #1 prospect. Send offers!

Smelly, Dragoon & I have re-enlisted for 2021. The rest of you have until January 31 to pay your money to take your chances. If you miss that deadline ... I don't know what will become of your team. I will not post it as abandoned, but the rest is up to Ottoneu and it is a for-profit organization.
On another dreary note, Jan 31 is also the last date to cut guys you don't want or can't afford. Use your Roster Organizer (under your Team page) to see what it will look like. But u kn

Just put Scherzer on the block if anyone is interested

And now, write this in your book, Jim. All twelve teams will allocate this year. Whiskey and Women is alive, well, and healthier than ever. Let us agree to bitch not, and make a few deals in the off season that bring back low priced talent for expensive guys we otherwise would cut. Hu-ahh!

I wish I had chosen the path of 'letting sleeping dogs lie' in 2018. It is true that universal allocation is on balance good for the league, but it is also true that basing allocations of non-participants on those who did Is a Very Small Sample. And worse, it hammers those few good players the weakest teams possess. If ten allocaters is all we get, we shall roll with that. But write this in your book, Jim: Darvish hits people very late in the season. We'll have 11 or 12 participants.

As of this moment ten teams have allocated. Last year only 5 or 6 teams had done so at the expiration of the timeline for that process. Then commissioner Magic Bus wrote Niv Shah asking for advice and the reply was essentially 'If you think this is really bad for competitive balance, you may allocate for those who did not.' I extrapolated the on-record allocations to the owners who did not participate in allocation. I will NOT do that this year given that we already have had 10 do so.

If we do but want to do it we don't have to but having full arbitration makes for a more competitive league imo.
-
That is different but my ignorance still does not allow me to get onboard with this not knowing the complete details.
-
No the league doesn't finish arbitration, people from outside your league on ottoneu are able to do it for people who can't do it.
-
The league finishing the arb for other teams? No, I am opposed. If they dont use their funds it doesnt make it more fair or unfair for anyone unless certain GM's and/or players are targeted by those owners and that is also not a good thing.
-
Also if you can't/ aren't going to compete arbitration please let magic bus know there is a way on the site for others to complete it for you so that it still gets done and the league is more fair
-
Arbitration ends Nov 14 and we have already had greater participation than in any of the past 6 seasons. I assume that Nov 14 means a minute after 11:59 p.m. I have not been able to determine which Time Zone, and that matters. So why not complete the allocation process on or before Nov 13?

Just because you can't trade doesn't mean you can't discuss and agree in principal

I require at least 5 months to assemble my 8th-place-at-best roster.

Arbitration is too long, I want to trade now!

There will be no more baseball until the spring, and winter's not even started. Damn. But our prime trading season opens on or around November 15 when we try to exchange high priced talent to fill specific needs. But first, we have to finish Allocations. Click that button on the far left under OTTONEU that says Arbitrations, and that will get you started. Assign your full $25 and spread it over all those teams except your own. Save it, check your allocations, if zero is left, you are done

Allocations Begin Oct. 15. This matters; it represents your chance to equalize the league's talent. Read the rules then do it.

Well Josh, as they say: "Shit happens". It goes with the game. What you gonna do? You roll the dice and see what happens to your money. But it's good to see you have a good attitude about the misfortunes of 2019 pitching.

Glad to have you Sgt. Saunders. As a new guy to Otto, please read the rules of 4x4 ... saves, wins, and SB don't really count. Please read the rules and settings.

A 42 minute theme song is quite the entrance. I imagine that wouldn't go over well as a walk up song haha

Welcome to Ottoneu, Mssr Trout. Long and short your predecessor joined us Sept 1 inheriting a team in first by 6 points. 10 days later he somehow mismanaged it into 2nd by 6, Your team has a lot of talent and there is no substitute for that. To celebrate your entry into Women and Whiskey, I have a Youtube viddy for your listening pleasure: Schubert's Trout Quintet for Piano and Strings in A. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m03exyS3PIw. You are this league's first to have a theme song!

Thanks! this is my first ottoneu league actually, been wanting to join one for a while and just saw it open up. It says I get a free round of cuts but honestly don't really want to cut anyone right now. Commish, you can waive that for me if that's an option?
-
Welcome to the league, please enjoy and ignore the commotion, some toxic people in here and now I believe they ste both/all gone lets enjoy
-
hello there...not sure what all the commotion was about before but this team looked like a fun one to take over, look forward to playing in your league!

Not a genie: I cannot transmute dog dung into gold. Just trying to find a core of guys who really want to play competitive fantasy ball. I think we're getting there.
