My roster is accurate
-
Just sent out an email. It is a bit long but try to at least skim it - lots of good notes on the slow auction and tips on Couch Managers so you know what to expect.
-
I was thinking tomorrow morning. I'll get a note out shortly, but in the meantime, everyone can confirm their roster looks right. I imported the players and it is usually pretty seamless but there are sometimes errors. I confirmed everyone has the right # of players and $ spent, so just double check the players are right
-
When are we looking to kick off the slow draft?
-
Two more things: 1) got a lineups question, so just clarifying C, 1B, 2B, SS, MI, 3B, 5xOF, Util, 5xSP, 5xRP. There is a MI but no CI. Also, you'll see two C spots on the lineups page, but C still has a 162 game cap. The two spots make it easier to fill all 162 games but if you start two C everyday, you'll run out of G at C by mid-season. 2) I had a few folks ask if the draft is being streamed, so I am going to try to stream via Twitch. Let me know if that is an issue for anyone.
-
Final reminder, three hours of drafting tonight at 9 pm ET! Draft room is at this url: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/1443/draft or you can link to it from the league homepage.
-
I need everyone to join the slow draft on Couch Managers. Link: https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/?auction_id=399 Password: ottopod.
NOTE: THIS IS NOT FOR THE LIVE PORTION OF THE AUCTION TUES.
Just want to be ready to import rosters quickly and start the slow portion with minimal delay after Tues.
When you join, there's an Edit Team Name link under settings (scroll bottom menu to the right on mobile; bottom right on desktop) - please make your team n

Wooooo

Ok, to fill this out, my co-host on Keep or Kut, Pete Ball, is taking over the KC Bubba Team. We are now all set to draft Tuesday at 9 pm ET. I'll send out an email with some notes, but in the meantime, if you want to see the draft room, there is an "auction draft" link near the top of the page. you can even start setting up a watch list.
-
Yes. We have an invite out but waiting for a reply. If you have other ideas, let me know.
-
Are we still looking for a manager?
-
Hey all - two things: one, we are in need of one more manager, so if anyone knows any podcasters who would be interested, let me know.
Two: we're doing the live portion of the auction Tuesday 2/7 at 9 pm ET.
-
I'm pretty flexible until 2/13 in the evening only. Then, it's a week to week thing once the prep and D1 seasons start.
-
We ran into a scheduling issue, as Bubba is unavailable at that time (Justin/Paul haven't confirmed yet). I need to look at the options and see if we can find something else.
-
So we're waiting on Bubba, Justin, & Welsh? Or are we drafting Tuesday at 9 pm ET?
-
I'm agreeable to 2/7 ay 9pm eastern

Hey All, I just wanted to say hello and Thank You to Chad for doing the leg work to get this league off the ground! I'm looking forward to playing against all of you, and learning ottoneu together. - DVR

We are up to 8 teams that have responded and Tuesday, Feb 7 from 9 pm to midnight ET is universally approved. A couple others are close but if those of you who have not replied (Sleeper/Bust, KC Bubba, Welsh, and Eyes Have It, I think) are good with that time, we can make it official!
-
Half the league has responded to the poll and we have a couple options in early Feb that look pretty good. If the rest of you can respond and try to make those times work (the ones that everyone else made green) that would be great
-
Ok, we have updated our managers - Rob from Pull Hitter had to drop, so we added Daniel Port, who hosts Longball Legacies. Welcome Daniel!
With that - can everyone fill out this survey? https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/er2EwAwe Mark yourself "Yes" for any windows that definitely work, "If need be" for any window that you could maybe make work or that partially works, and "No" only if you really cannot do it at all.
-
Yes, and I'll provide a lot more detail on how it works/logistics. Just a quick update, we have one team that needs a new manager before we get started, but then we'll schedule the live portion of the auction and go from there. If anyone has any questions about the league, the auction, Ottoneu, etc., just let me know. You can do that here on the message board or you if you go to my team page you can send me a direct message by clicking the link that says "Message"

Couch Mangers is pretty easy to use, I got the hang of it pretty well through the first nomination.
-
Slow auctions are amazing and I could do a full one anytime!
-
Sure! I use CouchManagers.com (we can port rosters to/from Ottoneu). Each team has 1 (or more if we want to go faster) nomination at a time. Players are up for bid for 8-12 hours (we can set that). You can bid 1-by-1 like a real auction or set a secret max bid and any other team bidding will not pass you until they go over your max. There's more I can share, but that's the basics. This is one I am doing right now (an Ottoneu Points mock): https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/?auction_id=371
-
Thanks, Chad. Could you give us an idea about how a slow auction works?
-
Hi all- My name is Chad Young and I'll be your friendly neighborhood commish. This is really Derek's league, but as a long-time Ottoneu player, I'll do my best to keep the ship running smoothly. The first thing to do is schedule an auction. An Ottoneu start-up auction can be long (480 players to bid on) so my proposal is we find time for 3+ hours of auctioning and then finish with a slow auction. I'll get a survey out soon with options for the live auction timing, as we hope to get going soon.
-
This league is going to be a blast, I'm honored to be invited to play with you all!
-
Hey, guys! Thanks a lot for the invitation, I truly appreciate it and I'm looking forward to a great and competitive season!
