With no objections we will move to the 15th
-
On the note of the "TJ" rule I was considering asking for Senta to be dropped based on his shoulder injury, but now the league rule may not be used the way it was in the past. Considering I seem to get nailed by these rules and interpretations of them more frequently than most, asking for clarification seemed prudent. For the "TJ" rule and the fact that the 4th rule wasn't listed. Since folks are being uptight about things, I'd rather know what the rules actually are that are
-
It wasn't listed with the three league specific rules, so, I asked. I think it's a pretty silly rule considering there are built in penalties that the system has, just like I think the cap on money being traded is silly. Also, considering how the "TJ" rule was revised or stated differently than it's been used in the past, I am wary. I wanted clarification. That's all, since it wasn't posted with the other three.
-
Why would we get rid of that rule?
-
Also, are we getting rid of the league rule with having to have your roster legal within some period of time of being over the cap/too many players and going to ottoneu default penalty of not being able to adjust your roster? Or no? Because that wasn't listed.

Same, 15th works

Totally open to the 15th move to accommodate the birthday. 👍

The TJ clause was not if they specifically had Tommy John, it was if they suffered a significant injury during Spring Training that would keep them out for a significant portion of the season, that was it. It was not as limited as presented here. I would understand limiting it as it was more or less a judgement call, but that's not what the rule was. It has been used to drop position players that have broken significant bones, or even if a player went out because of league issues, domestic abuse
-
As a reminder of the league bylaws.
1. Jose Fernandez clause. If a player dies, they can be cut penalty free
2. Tommy John clause. If a player goes out with TJ before opening day, they can be cut penalty free
3. Cash Cap clause. No more than $25 can be exchanged in a trade
Finally a reminder of the Ottoneu roster rules.

U-30 has requested to move the draft to March 15th because he has his daughters birthday on Saturday. I am amendable to changing it as it was a toss up between the two dates until someone broke tie. Please let me know if there are strong feelings either way.
-
So we are tied for 3/15 & 3/16. We still have a few laggards to make the difference. For some fun, if the tie isn't broken by the start of the Super Bowl on Sunday, we will go with a Chiefs win we draft on 3/15 or a 49ers win we draft on 3/16.
-
Wow, so glad you're doing better Papi. Hope the best for you in health and ottoneu!
-
A crazy angel, I went down this fall to 85-90 (I had a stroke in September) and I'm back up in the 120, the wife says how come you're always at the computer, Ottoneu my dear, sure keeps you busy, she thinks I'm in about 30 leagues, imagine....don't want to tell her, she's going to send me a Ottoneu anonymous meeting, having fun, the big problems are lineups and cost. Next year, got to keep myself from claiming teams, it's like a drug, I see a potentially good lineup and I say why not......
-
Papi, I am not sure how you manage it. You will be studied and referenced in Otto lore. The guy who managed 120 teams. At this point, you are an angel investor in the platform lol
-
I have drafts on almost every day in February and March, so no problem for the date, I can manage two, three our drafts at a time with split screens, rarely many positions to fill, I'm possive of my players, only to regret it in May or June.....haha
-
So far just over half of the league has responded to the poll for our draft date. If you haven't already, please take a moment to share your preference. Thanks
-
Here is the doodle poll for draft times. Please let me know if you have any issues. https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/bWW1OoEb

Draft. PTBNL and I are getting a plan together for the usual draft date poll. Stay Tuned for updates.

Less than 90 minutes to the deadline! We may have 1 team expiring and heading back to the Available teams pool. I've sent them a message in hopes of keeping us at a full 12.

Thanks for the reminder. I was able to make the payment through a web browser finally - the mobile browser wasn't giving me the option to allow for location services for Paydala. Thought I'd share in case anyone else is still having problems on mobile.

Also, Wheeler is available.

Thanks for sharing

I ran into the same issue. I need to extend the paid date from Jan 2024 to 2025, but the payment page is messed up both in the web and mobile views. I figured it was a technical glitch that Niv would get resolved.
-
Hey Papifantasy, welcome to the league! I'm not sure if the Ottoneu renewal window opens on a certain date, but your renewal date is the same as the rest of us (everything looks to be in order). Let PTBNL or myself know if we can be of assistance.

I claimed this team but cannot pay, I paid many many leagues with Paydala in the last month but this one won't show me the full boxes in Paydala to pay, I will try to address the issue with Niv and pay as soon as I can.

Welcome to the league, Lincoln City. Glad to have you.

Hey everyone, just wanted to introduce myself as the new owner of Little Sluggers (now Lincoln City Celtic.) I've been playing fantasy sports for about 13 years but, it's all been season long stuff. Never played anything this deep or anything that had auctions. So, this will definitely be a learning experience. Really looking forward to playing in such an established league and getting to know all of you. Hopefully I don't make to many newb mistakes.

On arb voting, if you are new, I suggest waiting closer to the November deadline to get your votes in. You never know who needs TJ.

Congrats Acuna! U-30's long rebuild starting to pay dividends. Still the most competitive Otto league I have been in. Kudos to everyone.
-
Congrats Acuña! Big shoutout to Dale and U-30 for placing. I've let the commish know I won't be back in 2024 (this is the year I finally cut back on my leagues!), but I had a lot of fun competing with everyone here and being part of such a long-running league.
-
Congrats Acuña! I tried to catch you, but your hitters were unstoppable this year.

Looks like my terrible pitching and bad auction performance couldn't keep my team down. Fun year everyone.

Good season all.

Hey terrible, isn't there a 4th league rules to get your roster legal within 24 hours of it becoming illegal. Because that was used on me while waiting for a player to get picked up from waivers. I had to drop an additional player instead.
-
Why couldn't it have been cancelled yesterday? It's frustrating that now no form of the trade will probably happen, cash regardless. At least I keep my young cash locked players.
