LAST WEEK WARNING: We have 7 days to make our final cuts before drafting. You need money room, and you need roster room. Do not forget to cut down your rosters to where you want to be on draft day by 11:00 p.m. January 31.

TWO WEEK WARNING! We each have to be under 40 players and $400 before February 1 to participate in this year's draft. At the end of that draft you may have no more than 40 guys (minors and majors) rostered and your payroll can be no more than $400. Do not forget to cut guys you won't keep ... each cuts one draft pick and every dollar tied up in a guy you don't want costs you those $ on Draft Day, plus you will pay a 50 cents on the dollar penalty for cutting them in-season.

Happy Holidays, fellas. My name is Jared and I'm new to Ottoneu but really wanted to join one. I run several Dynasty leagues myself and love baseball. This 4x4 format really stuck out to me. Any help you guys can give would be greatly appreciated. Looking forward to put my stamp on this team! Cheers to a happy New Years.

That is the way I understand it. I don't know the schedule for paying $20 dues, but that will become clear in a few weeks.

Now all salaries are done, we have until the end of Jan to trade correct?
-
Pay rates have been adjusted upward to simulate full participation in Allocations. To check your cost increases done today, look at your transactions and click player names. Their data pops up and at the bottom of the page is salary history. If you allocated on or before Nov 14 multiply your allocations received by 0.8333 (5/6) to get your increase. If you didn't allocate multiply allocations received by 0.5714 (4/7).

Hell, I'm glad you got confused ... I spent half of a morning trying to figure out the fractions ... maybe the old guy still has a few marbles rolling around.

My bad! Sorry about that
-
Not 13 teams. Add the numerators in the fractions. You were allocated to by 6 teams out of 7 who participated. You are one of the 7, but did not allocate to your own team; no one can. You were not allocated to by the 5 teams who did not allocate and they will each give each of us 1/6 of the original allocation to our teams (1/6 not 1/7 because only 6 teams allocated to each of our teams.)

This all hurts my head to read
-
We got 13 teams in the league?
-
To correct an error of math logic: Southside was allocated $17 by 6 of the 7 allocating teams (he was the 7th). My quick answer was wrong. It will be 5/6 to you in Alloc 2 because there are 5 teams that did not allocate while there are 6 different teams which allocated onto your squad. You did not allocate to yourself, hence Round 2 is based on 6 allocations.

This is not a quick fix for our league's problem. It is a first step, and from my discussions with the founder, Niv Shah, I believe he has other leagues with a retention problem, and am sure he is open to remedial action. One of them could be a commissioner's tool to enable a quick price adjustment to simulate the allocation contributions that many teams missed, to their annual detriment. I will put together a spreadsheet and over this weekend will adjust contract prices helping nonallocators

I'm good with this.
-
Ok I’m fine with that if everyone thinks that’s the way to keep this league going
-
In other words, the players whose prices went up will go up a bit more.

It will be proportionate to the damage already done... 5/7 more and you will still have the core of the league's best team.

7 teams allocated $17 toward me. Does that mean the 5 phantoms would add $12 to me then? For a total of $29 in allocations? Any idea how we decide which of our players get hit?

Hoo-ah!

I am sending each of you a 200 word suggestion for how to keep this league alive and well. I welcome your comments and ideas, but you need to read mine as well. It is a decent start. The message was sent at about 9:30 Eastern on Nov 16 to whatever e address you have on record in this league. Check it out and post your opinion on Messages below. Thank you, The Bus.

Honestly I'm lukewarm on the format. Glad I got to try it out, but I'm ambivalent about continuing. I find H2H much more engaging. Willing to give it a go this year for a full season, but if the league is dying I won't fight it.

I highly doubt I will be renewing for next season unless we get a few more active owners. Just FYI.
-
Niv's leagues are eternal. He can and does always find replacements. But my point is, this one would be more competitive if everyone participates in Allocation. And without reopening the voting booths, that can still be done.

rBraves and Yu Strasburg ... will you play in this league in 2019?

CAUTION Slow down on making trades. You have until Jan 31. And my point is, Allocations were not done by 5 teams, and Niv has offered us a way for everyone to participate even after the deadline. And before you bitch consider this: allocation hits the better teams harder than the weak. And the more who allocate, the more the field is leveled.
