New Owner, I am pleased to acknowledge we have a new owner for the Shamrock team. His name is Codie Lonsberry. Please join me in welcoming Codie to our league.

As an ACTIVE owner or not. I will email him one more time, if I do not get a response his team will also be abandoned. Please feel free to chime in and express your viewpoint on this, on way or another.. This is not my league it is OUR league. Looking forward toward your views on this matter. Thanks!

First, I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year. I would also like to update everyone regarding the email I sent out specifically to Shamrock and Nuke about their inactivity in the league. Shamrock has not responded or checked on his team since last April so I am going to move forward and declare his team abandoned. Nuke hasn't done anything with his team either, but he did log in on the 16th, so I will give him the opportunity to respond whether he is going to participate (cont'd)

Any updates about our inactive users?

In terms of a draft date, Pioneer of the Storm and I are located on the West Coast. For me, late afternoons on the West Coast would be ideal (sometime after 5:30 p.m.)

Don't know this far in advance my March schedule for my freelance gig but will work around it for the draft. If not, I'll set up a proxy voter.

I'm on Eastern time. While I prefer weekends, especially Sundays, I will make the draft pretty much any time it is scheduled.

Correction, March 25 is the date I'm out. Otherwise good

The only day in March that I absolutely cannot do is March 18, where I have a live auction marathon. I'm east coast, and would prefer a weeknight, but am willing to go late.

It looks like a number of teams did not allocate. I know one person said he was choosing not to, and that's fine. Otherwise, inactivity is unacceptable and extremely harmful to this league. I motion that the commissioner reach out to the inactive teams in this league and request that they either pledge to be heavily active year round, or else they should abandon. If they do not become active, they should be forced to abandon. Nothing hurts a league more than several teams not participating.

Send offers for $25 Edwin Encarnacion or $14 Hanley. Looking to make a trade in the next couple days.

Which, in my option if such were the case, would result in many leagues to fold from lack willing participation. Thus, that dynasty would have no league in which to compete.

These processes are put into place so that all the owners have the opportunity to develope a competitive team by their own selection, choices and decisions through the draft and by balancing the salary cap, otherwise an owner may be able to develope a team that could become a perennial powerhouse (championship team) year in and year out in a dynasty format without these measures in place.

Walkoff, thank you for expressing your views to the league and I also want to add that I have the utmost respect for your opinion. I would like to add that I believe OTTONUE is set up as a dynasty league but with a limited opportunity to keep a team as a whole forever, hence the salary increases and / or allocation / arbitration processes. (Continued)

I absolutely despise allocation, which contradicts the whole point of dynasty leagues. Ex: Kyle Schwarber, who I signed for $11 just before last season. Between the automatic $2 increases and the large allocation the league piled on last year, I now have a $21 player who's played 71 career games--and that's before whatever happens this time. That's not competitive balance, that's stupid. I like Ottoneu in just about every other way, fortunately, but won't participate in this.
-
I sent a message to the commish regarding allocation and why I don't and won't participate. It's just my opinion of course, but he suggested I share it with the league. It is in the next post (because of the character limit).

FWIW I'm commissionering a league this year that had a number of openings and they filled really quickly from the public claim list once they were officially abandoned and/or expired.

Bunt, see my message to you.

Ok, so we are down to four teams that haven't yet completed their allocations. Shamrock, Nuke, Babe and Walkoff; could you please take the time to complete your allocations? I can't stress enough the importance of this so that we maintain the competitive balance and the integrity of the league as a whole. Thank you for your cooperation!

We're nine days away from the end of arbitration. Six of 12 teams have yet to allocate any money. If you're confused about this process, ask questions. It's unacceptable to not participate in this process! Help keep the competitive balance: allocate today!!!
-
Allocations will end soon, November 14 th, I believe, and we need EVERYONE to participate. It helps with competitive balance and demonstrates ongoing league activity. Happy offseason!

Not until the end of the allocation period on Nov. 14.

I am trying to get into more prize leagues and do not wish to move forward with this team. I did find an owner through Slack. Does anyone know how to transfer the team to him? Thanks.

Great season everyone. Looking forward to defending the crown next year.

Congrats TLM!

Congrats to TLM for a great season. The allocation system will begin in the next month or so, everyone's participation is greatly encouraged to balance out the competitiveness of the league. Will keep you all updated as specific events of the offseason approach.

Hasn't the trade deadline passed? Or did I hallucinate that (again)?
