I'm fine with moving the trade window to 24 hours and am against changing the roster rules.

I agree with the flying squirrels. 24 hours for trades, no problem with illegal rosters, and Marlins winning would be awesome.
-
I also hope the Marlins win it all just for the chaos of it.
-
My votes are 1) 24 hour trade window; and 2) Yes - nominations are mandatory. Also I don't believe we need to change rules for rosters being illegal at the end of the season. I would have a problem if someone was seriously abusing it (I would say having 50+ players), until then I don't think it is in issue.
-
Just for the absurdist humour value, I hope the Marlins win it all this year.
-
So far I have 2 votes to make the trade waiting period 24 hours instead of 48. No votes for 48 hours.
-
I don’t get what the issue is. Is this a response of me getting 6 players off free agency at the end of the year?
I for one would like to see blind free agent bidding or reduce the window from 24hours to 12hours.

You guys are needlessly turning nothing into something.
The whole league is only over by 4 players. Were any of the last day pick ups even worth anything? Have a drink and forget about rule changes.
-
Maui is right - It is a rule. The only penalty for violating that rile is that your team management controls are frozen. There is no rule requiring commissioners to force cuts. If Niv intended the rule to operate the way Maui is suggesting, he would have built in a ban on adding players beyond the roster limit.
-
Having a legal roster as if 11:59 pm on the last day of the season is a standard rule. So that’s what we are going with, right? A new rule would be you can auction as many players as you want to carry into the offseason

My votes: 1) 24 hour trade window; and 2) Yes - nominations should be mandatory. If you skip your turn to nominate in the draft, your draft should be over.
-
Two question for the league: 1) Should we go from a 48 hour trade window to a 24 hour trade window? And 2) Should we require nominations during the draft?
-
So far I have 3 votes to stick with the standard ottoneu rules for end of season rosters (i.e. the only penalty for an illegal roster is that team management controls are frozen until the roster is legal), and 1 vote to implement a new rule to cut players added at the end of the year that go above the roster limit. Absent a surge of votes to the contrary, we will stick with the existing rules.
-
The worst offender is over by 5. Thats pretty normal in every league as far as I have been in. Doesn't seem like a big enough problem to worry about. Just my opinion, but I say let it slide.
-
Let’s do it democratically and take a vote. I am okay either way. I don’t like adding players intending to horde them all off season. But the rules don’t account for a penalty, and I also don’t like ex post facto rules. Everybody let me know your votes and we can figure it out.
-
The commish has the power to cut players right now. This is what happens in my other leagues. Commish can cut players in a corresponding move to the players won via auction or just cut the players who were won.

Something we could vote on for the future.

Regardless - I agree Maui is correct about the rule. But no rule addresses what to do. Same thing happened in all 4 leagues I am in (especially league 153 with the 74 player roster).
-
I am in League 153 with a couple of other owners from this league. We had a team end the year with 74 players. And no way to correct it. He claimed he forgot he could not make cuts once the season ended.
-
My take on the rules (but I am open to other POVs)... Maui is right - rosters are required to be legal. But the only penalty in the rule is that all team management functions are frozen until the roster is made legal. There is no built in penalty for illegal roster once the season closes. And no way to correct until rosters unfreeze in November.
-
I'm referring to the teams that went illegal on the last day of the season by signing free agents without making the corresponding cuts. If that is considered fine in this league OK, I guess. I just did not think it was.

Loans end when season ends. Lots of teams are illegal. In 1 league I'm in, a guy has a $659 payroll.
-
So you can put your roster into an illegal state during the offseason and then trade as much as you want before keepers?
-
I like that the owners who were not planning to return told us early. Plenty of time to get new owners onboard. In some leagues, owners don’t bother to mention they are leaving and let their teams expire.
-
And about half the teams left have taken an illegal roster into the offseason :)

Maniacal M's you can keep them through arbitration. You will just want to get players cut before the keeper deadline in January. Sad to see so many of you go!
-
Unfortunately, I will be leaving this league as well

Hi all - one quick question, as this is my first year doing Ottoneu. Trying to figure out what the deadline is for waiving players to offset all of the free agent pickups on the last day of the season. Is it before arbitration?
-
It's not what I planned to do when I claimed this team but I too will be abandoning my team.

Thanks for the fun 3 seasons, but I would also like to leave my team. Finally, go Twins!
-
Mighty Nimrods’ team is available. If you are in other leagues, would you check with the team owners to see if anybody wants another team?
-
Sorry. I have no idea why my message posted 6 times.
-
Mighty Nimrods asked me to find a new owner for his team. I have the team abandoned and available to be adopted. If anybody else knows they are not returning, please let me know. We can get new owners onboard early so they can handle arbitration and get ready for the hot stove league.

I will make the pennant and send it to Winnetka to add to his collection.

Congrats on the win, Winnetka!

Congratulations Winnetka!

Congrats Cubs.

Congrats Cubs!
-
Yes, congratulations Winnetka on a dominating finish to the season to capture the 2020 flag. Thanks everyone for participating this year.
-
I think it is safe to say Congratulations to Winnetka! I’ll re-congratulate you when it is official. But it looks like another pennant going your way.
-
Thanks Spa. See if the Commish Tools link is active now for you on the main league tab. If yes, you can go remove me as a commissioner.
-
I’ll do it. I have commissionered before. Plus, I need something to keep me invested in ottoneu.
-
If anyone is willing to take over as commissioner, please let me know. I am not planning to participate in fantasy baseball next year.
-
Still time for last minute deals.
