In principle, my idea is that Ottoneu comes with the rules that it has and they should be observed. Then again, sometimes the rules do not make sense and exceptions can be made. For example, we could agree that everyone is entitled to 1 additional free cut until the day before the draft. I don't think this distorts the competition in anyway, because the cut player would be availble for the draft. After the draft, everything changes and there shouldn't be anymore free cuts :-)

thanks for the response. i'm not going to cut cueto. i was a dummy and there should be a tax on that. i'll just cut him right after the draft and imagine the freed up money from half his salary was my reward for drafting like a boss.
the only other cuts that will happen before the draft are from the two new managers if they have any. thanks again.
i'm super looking forward to the draft and to the season.
-
I also favor keeping the cut deadline, I also favor giving a commissioner broad latitude to determine when special circumstances warrant an exception

thanks for your thoughts. they seem sound.
i can't not hear myself just being whinny about this.
i appreciate your fair-mindedness.

I’d vote for keeping it the same it has been. I think there is gamesmanship about choosing who you want to ride with and rolling dice on people you cut who you may regret after the fact (I know I have one like that in my head). However, I do like how we have been flexible about season ending injuries prior to the draft which you can’t predict. I’d Vote for cutting Cueto since he’s out all year and just dead money. But I’d vote for not changing back the cut date since roster moves have
-
but (only if there were no objections of any kind by any league member) tentatively like to float the idea of having our leagues final cut deadline be either 1 or 2 weeks away from our draft date. so that'd be either tomorrow or next sunday. i don't want to die on this hill. it's just a thought. if anyone opposes it i'll drop the notion and lug the dead-weight of cueto's shame on my shoulders all season. i'm excited for the season. i think it will be the best one yet.
-
relatedly, i don't want to spark anything contentious. i like the structure of ottoneu and its rules. but i'm still a bit hazy about why there is a deadline for cuts on january 31. things happen between then and the draft that influence things and when there are salaries attached it just seems like a buggy imposition. and yes, i'm mostly mad at myself for not knowing that cueto is out for the season and i've got a small stack of dollars tied to his corpsey spot on my roster.
-
ok. the draft is set and we have a full league. i'll be making some cuts in the next few days for the two managers that claimed teams after the cut deadline.
-
Let's do it!
-
4:30 on March 2? last call for vociferous reasons why not. last call.
-
Sounds good 4:30pm ET would be best for me. I have tickets to a bball game later that evening.
-
seems so. unless there's a hard no from someone. anyone?

If 8 of 10 active members can do March 2nd should we lock that date/time down Comish?
-
March 2nd looks open right now for me.
-
I can probably do the 2nd and 10th
-
I can do March 2nd if we start later in the afternoon, say 4:30pm eastern at the earliest. I can do the other weekends in March too, but it sounds like March 2 is the day we are focusing on for now
-
march 2 or 10 work for me. preferably late afternoon (3 or 4)
-
March 2nd works best for me too (the 23 and 24 can also work well)
-
The 2nd works for me. I can also do 23rd and 24th. The only dates I can’t do are 9th, 10th, 30th and 31st.
-
I can do all the dates Benny mentioned, with March 2nd and 10th working better as well. I'm assuming we'll do 5 pm ET / 2 pm PT like we've done in the past for the draft start time?
-
I should add that 23 and 24 are less solid than 2 and 10.

-
today is the last day to make cuts. so do, or don't.
