• If he never made cuts, he may have one chance

  Dem Bums on March 16, 2015 4:47 PM

• I asked Legion of Doom about making more cuts back in February when he took over the team but never heard back. I could have helped him make cuts without penalty at that time if he had already used the one-time cuts opportunity. At this point, his team may have to function with its current players--make cuts before the season starts and then go on. Legion of Doom, please let us know that you're ready for the season.

  Sheboygan Chairmakers on March 16, 2015 12:13 PM

• I could only cut because I just took over the team. If you take over a team, you get one round of cuts

  Dem Bums on March 15, 2015 3:35 PM

• I'd like to be able to make some cuts now, but it says rosters are frozen until the auction. Isn't the Legion of Doom going to have to cut some players before the auction?

  LIMA.STS on March 15, 2015 2:51 PM

• Hello all! I just took over Booger...you'll see I cleaned house!

  Dem Bums on March 15, 2015 1:14 PM

• K-Bot, unfortunately, I don't think there's a way to configure an autodraft with preset maximum bids. Ottoneu doesn't have that functionality. But if I'm wrong, can someone speak up and correct me?

  Sheboygan Chairmakers on March 13, 2015 2:47 PM

• March 30th works for me

  Otto Seventeen on March 13, 2015 9:50 AM

• I forgot, but thanks for the effort Sine, much appreciated! Is there a way to preset max. offers etc. here? Thanks in advance.

  Sidd Finch All-Stars on March 12, 2015 11:24 AM

• Shame, but I guess that was the expected outcome all along. I've filled out the doodle thing once more, as there are some date/time combo's that allow me to at least be part of the first hour or so. Hope one of those gets chosen and I'll just try and fill my roster asap then.

  Sidd Finch All-Stars on March 12, 2015 11:19 AM

• Thanks for putting all this together. My deal is I don't know my work schedule for the coming week until each Saturday or Sunday. So I'm just assuming I'm working all of these days (yes, I work weekends too). On a workday, I'm not available until 8:30 ET. So if we can start at 8:30 ET or later, I can make it no matter what as long as it's not a Wednesday.

  Look Into My Eye on March 12, 2015 10:12 AM

• 2nd poll: http://doodle.com/6gu3fpsrve5axist All times are ET and refer to the start of the draft.

  Sheboygan Chairmakers on March 12, 2015 9:27 AM

• We have 8 of 11 owners who have filled in the Doodle poll, and three options are currently the "best". On 3/23, 3/24 or 3/30, 5 can make it, 2 can "if need be" (one is me), and Noob K-Bot cannot. I suggest that we currently target March 30. For Noob K-Bot, do you know someone who could draft on your behalf at one of these times? I'm about to start another poll targeting those three evenings.

  Sheboygan Chairmakers on March 12, 2015 9:21 AM

• So far...no options align well. If you are the only one saying 'No' to a particular option, please consider if you can adjust your schedule and tweak that slot in the poll. Weekdays at noon EST are no good -> not a surprise.

  Sheboygan Chairmakers on March 10, 2015 12:22 PM

• Ya the intent is EST.

  Sheboygan Chairmakers on March 10, 2015 8:58 AM

• I'm assuming all times are Eastern Time?

  Look Into My Eye on March 9, 2015 6:10 PM

• There's another option for the league: we can forego a draft completely. If the draft is skipped, we go "live" immediately and will then use blind auctions to replenish rosters in the same way that in-season auction claims work. I think this might be a last resort.

  Sheboygan Chairmakers on March 9, 2015 4:36 PM

• I've created a Doodle scheduling poll. It seems large but doesn't take too long to fill in. Enter some good times for the draft for you at the minimum, and you can edit it later. We have owners from the west coast USA to Europe, so one possibility is a midday draft on a weekend - maybe Sunday? http://doodle.com/pde4xrfaxqxh5u7u

  Sheboygan Chairmakers on March 9, 2015 4:35 PM

• I'm going to be complicated. I have a hellish work/life schedule for the month of March. I have evenings completely free March 23rd and 24th (Mon-Tues) or any night the week of March 30th. I'm a no go most every night. I know that's a pain and can have someone cover for me if need be. I vote for 9 eastern to cover the west coasters.

  Otto Seventeen on March 8, 2015 10:02 PM

• I live on the west coast so 6 EST on a weekday might be difficult. I'd have to have a day off (which happens) but I only get my schedule a week at a time.

  Look Into My Eye on March 8, 2015 4:32 PM

• You might want to do a Doodle poll. That seems to work better at identifying a date everyone can make it that messages back and forth.

  Bevacqua's Limo Driver on March 8, 2015 12:26 PM

• Let's start working on a draft date - please send me any preferences you have or conflicts and let's see if there's a good date. I'd prefer to start early evening - maybe 6pm EST - on a weeknight.

  Sheboygan Chairmakers on March 8, 2015 11:30 AM

• One more team to be claimed: Booger Swamp

  Sheboygan Chairmakers on March 4, 2015 3:39 PM

• Nuke Laloosh's trade block has been updated!

  The Dirt Bags on March 4, 2015 9:53 AM

• Has every team been claimed?

  Otto Seventeen on March 4, 2015 9:13 AM

• Welcome aboard, Noob.

  Bevacqua's Limo Driver on February 20, 2015 5:58 PM

• Great, we just need the last three teams picked up and we'll be ready to go. As before, if you know someone interested in joining--point them to the Abandoned Teams page to claim one of them.

  Sheboygan Chairmakers on February 20, 2015 4:47 PM

• Hi all, took over the old Nova aurorA team. Looking forward to the season, made my cuts just now so ready for the auction.

  Sidd Finch All-Stars on February 20, 2015 4:12 PM

• Nova aurorA's trade block has been updated!

  Sidd Finch All-Stars on February 16, 2015 5:51 PM

• Welcome to the league. Go for it over the next few days.

  Sheboygan Chairmakers on February 15, 2015 3:47 PM

• Sup guys, I just joined this league as the former "Anti-Pants Brigade," or whatever it was. Glad to be aboard! Can I make some cuts without penalty please?

  Look Into My Eye on February 15, 2015 3:35 PM

• Note: if you haven't seen this before, the renewal date can take a few days to update after you complete it.

  Sheboygan Chairmakers on February 13, 2015 1:00 PM

• I have set two teams to Abandoned: Nova aurorA and Booger Swamp. In a few days, I will do the same with Nuke Laloosh and Legion of Doom. I think all four rosters have some very promising sets of players that a new owner can build around when they clean up the rest of the roster. I have renewed for 2015, and I ask that if you haven't yet, please join me. We need a few new owners, and then we'll work on a mid-March draft date. Suggestions and preferences are welcome.

  Sheboygan Chairmakers on February 13, 2015 12:58 PM

• The commissioner can boot the inactive owners for one so new owners can take over.

  Sheboygan Chairmakers on February 6, 2015 5:12 PM

• Does a commissioner really do anything other than set the draft date and time? Does it even matter if a 3rd of the owners are MIA?

  LIMA.STS on February 6, 2015 4:18 PM

• Also, we need a commissioner - I do not think I can be a very good one or I'd volunteer. Does anyone want to take that role?

  Sheboygan Chairmakers on February 1, 2015 9:00 AM

• Seems that we have 7 active owners and 5 dead teams. Disappointing. If you are not returning this year, set your team to Abandon so it can be renewed by someone else (I realize this message is apparently not getting to these owners).

  Sheboygan Chairmakers on February 1, 2015 8:59 AM

• Concentrating Dumpers's trade block has been updated!

  LIMA.STS on January 30, 2015 5:27 PM

• Walkoff Homer's trade block has been updated!

  Bevacqua's Limo Driver on January 30, 2015 4:57 PM

• Sine Nomine's trade block has been updated!

  Sheboygan Chairmakers on January 30, 2015 4:25 PM

• Cut deadline is tomorrow, FYI.

  Bevacqua's Limo Driver on January 30, 2015 12:12 PM

• When I picked up my team, it was the only one listed as abandoned in this league, so they should all be owned and paid for at this point.

  LIMA.STS on January 30, 2015 11:38 AM

• Cut Deadline is today. Are a bunch of these team's without owners?

  Otto Seventeen on January 30, 2015 10:45 AM

• Bunt for a Hit's trade block has been updated!

  Pine Tar Rags on January 29, 2015 7:33 AM

• Well, I made 23 trades in my primary Ottoneu league last year, and Ive made the most trades in about every league Ive been in over the last 22 years, so I think I've got an idea how it works, but thanks for the advice.

  LIMA.STS on January 28, 2015 8:43 PM

• Drifters, if you want to make a trade, put a reasonable trade on the table and be willing to work a deal that equitable instead of concetrating on a salary dump.

  Pine Tar Rags on January 28, 2015 7:35 PM

• Come on guys. Decline or counter offer or something. Only got a couple of days left, and Ive got stars like Cueto and Cruz on good contracts dangling out there!

  LIMA.STS on January 27, 2015 5:05 PM

• Hey everyone, I've taken over the Drifters team. Looks like I've got quite a few good keepers, but also plenty of reasonably-priced veterans that I just don't care to own. Gotta deal before deadline, so I'm about to sling offers all around. If you're not interested at all, please counter with something more viable so I know where interest lies for these guys.

  LIMA.STS on January 26, 2015 5:44 PM

• Drifters's trade block has been updated!

  LIMA.STS on January 26, 2015 5:32 PM

• I'll be back

  Otto Seventeen on January 19, 2015 12:25 PM

• I will not be back this season. I'll put my team in abandon mode so the spot can be filled. Good luck all!
