Yes.
Also, if you cut someone from your roster during the season, you get half of their salary back towards your cap. The other half is a “cap penalty”.
You can not Re-auction them for 30 days if you are the one that cut them but the other 11 teams can.
After 30 days, you can re-auction and try to get them for less and cut them again to get even more salary back.
Just remember, most everyone here is learning too and it’s the first season of

Is the leftover amount that you don’t use in the draft your budget for free agents throughout the year?

Side note, I saw where the site has added mock drafts if you want to try one before tomorrow evening.
-
You will have buttons to auto bid an additional $1, $2, or $5 dollars. You can also type in a bid.
Yes an initial auction will probably take a while. If we need to pause and go again a second night, we can look at that.
There’s a chat in the draft room where we can communicate.
There will be a section showing each team, # of rosters spots left, and how much $ left.
You do not have to fill at 40 slots and you do (should) not spend all $, as

Yes, everyone will take turns as we go through the “draft order”. When it’s your turn, you will have 30 seconds to nominate a player and can set the beginning price for bidding. Then there will be a 15 second clock and each time someone bids it will go back to 15. In my experience, some people will wait until 1 or 2 seconds are left to do a bid so if you know you want to bid, please do so, waiting only makes the draft process take longer.
-
I also know you don't want to use all your money in the draft, i believe you need at least a dollar to drop add folks during the season, but someone can correct me if I am wrong.

This is my first time doing this as well but from what I gather, we take turn nominating a player and once the player is nominated we start the bidding process. Every time a bid is placed the timer goes back up to 15 seconds. Things that will help this go faster. nominate the player close to what you want to pay $10 instead of $1 (takes less time to get to the buying price) Also if you want to bid then bid rather than waiting for it to get down to 2 seconds the timer will reset to 15 regardless

How does this auction draft work ? I’ve done salary cap in a 4 player keeper league but this all new to me doing auction draft. That means everyone bids on player and highest bid wins I assume. How long this draft going take. I assume going be several hrs for 40 man roster.
-
How long do these drafts typically take? How long will be drafting on Sunday night?
-
We’ll see how far we can get in night one…if we can bid up quickly instead of always waiting for the timer to get down to 1 or 2 seconds for each bid, that will help move things along more quickly.
Bidding doesn’t work like eBay where you can snipe players at the last second. 🤪
I can pause periodically for bio-breaks or refill your snack/beverage but no more than a 5 min break for that so we can keep it moving.

Hi All - whats the draft plan? 2 nights or all in 1 go?
-
Looks like we only need one more person!

Looking forward. This web site going get some getting use to.

To those that just joined...welcome to the group...! We're still trying to get these last couple of spots filled. They're open to anyone, first come, first served...so if you know of anyone else that is looking for a league, send them here, and let's get them signed up!
-
I also just bumped up my community posting in the Managers Wanted section again hoping to keep it near the top.
-
I’ve received similar responses from other fantasy baseball playing friends. Two co-workers who are also in a (10+ year) FanTrax league that I run have joined this league. The others declined. I definitely don’t want to try and talk anyone into it and then have them not be an active participant.
I just sent a couple of more emails to other commissioners as well. I’ll also ask if anyone in my other Ottoneu League would like to join an additional league as well.
-
I emailed the other league commissioners a our consolidating. I'll let you know if I get a response.
-
I've tried all my fantasy friends and all say this type of league seems like too much work/too deep of rosters for them ....
-
I have been actively emailing anyone that posts that they are looking. Even had a few email back but not all have joined.
Your idea certainly isn’t the worst as it’s getting down to crunch time.
Everyone can feel free to invite others to the league if you think they’d be interested and active.
I will continue emailing and don’t mind if anyone else does as well.
-
Hi all. Do you think we will get this league filled up? Looks like all the other available leagues in Ottoneu haven't had many people join at all. Still a lot of open spots. Maybe we should email all the other commissioners and try to consolidate leagues?
-
Each position is available for 162 games. Here’s the breakdown on the slots available.
2 C’s - but they total up for the 162 game limit
1B - 162
2B - 162

UTIL - 162
5 SP’s
5 RP’s
There are innings limits for all pitchers at 1500 IP (includes both starters and relievers) and once any hitting spot reaches 162 games, you no long

Question, how many spots at each position can record stats each day?
Thanks looking forward to this league!
