When this auction starts, I know the max is 3 nominations at a time per owner. Are we supposed to try and always have at least one player nominated to keep things moving?

I signed up yesterday, just the one we’re waiting on 👍

There are a max of 36 players on auction at once
To expedite the draft, I would encourage the use of the “max bid” functionality, as well as the “I don’t want to bid on this player anymore” functionality.
I think there are random drafts going on on couch managers if you want to do a test drive before we kick off for real. Also if there are any kinks/issues for the first couple of people we can be reasonable about accommodating.
We’ll aim to kick off by a

Hi all - apologies for the delay, but the Couch Managers auction is set up. Here’s the link https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/?auction_id=795
The password is Otto2024
Once everyone has signed up, I can import the keepers, and then we’ll get started. The settings are as follows:
Once a player is nominated, he has a 24 hour window to be bid on.
Inside of 12 hours, every time there’s a new max bid, the timer resets to 12 hours

Thank you Coco. Not sure why there wasn't an option for an 'X' as opposed to just blank, sorry to confuse things. Appreciate the league flexibility by using the slow draft.
-
Commish, I’m with you on the poll reading. There wasn’t any “x’s” in the answers just a gray line.. to those that haven’t done it, as said before, the slow draft is very easy. You will even get into the same panic mode on whether you should bid on a guy or not but you can debate about it for hours instead of seconds

Sorry about that, I guess I misread the poll. Looks like there is not a consensus day, so we’ll go with the slow draft. It is pretty intuitive. I’ll get it set up this weekend and we can start in late February. I’ll see if it is possible to set up a practice round for everyone that hasn’t done it before
-
Hey Coco, March 1st absolutely does not work for me. No possible way I could make that. Indicated it in my response in the doodle. I would prefer the slow draft if that's the only date available.
-
Thanks everyone and sorry for the delay. Looks like March 1 at 8 EST works for everyone, I’ll go ahead and set that as the draft time. If anything comes up let me know ASAP and we can switch to a slow draft. Thanks all!
-
Filled out the Doodle (but would also be down for a slow draft if we have an international contingent)

Or 8!

Looks like we have it narrowed down to March 1 or March 8 if we are doing live draft. There are still 5 teams that haven’t voted. Can you post your availability here?
I am also happy to do a slow draft again, agree with SPH that it is by far the most equitable way to do it. Also a fun distraction during the work day for a week or two.
-
I am cool with either. The couch draft was a little harder for me because there are multiple players for auction at a time. But the lack of time constraint is nice.
-
The most equitable and convenient draft by far is the couch draft/slow draft. And if you've never done it, don't be intimidated, it's easy as well. I'm all for it.
-
Hi all - I created a doodle poll here to check on availability for the draft. As in the last we are limiting it to Friday and Saturday nights at 8 Eastern so our international friends can participate

Alternatively- if more than 6 people want to go back to the slow draft format, from 2 years ago, please post here and I can get that set up. Thanks!

I will be renewing but fyi there is a problem with the new paydala thing that needs to be fixed (won’t 2fa to my aus phone no and email codes not sending) - there is a grace period before being booted from the league so should be all fine

Last call: Looking to deal Nola, McKenzie, Yandy Diaz, and/or some relievers.

Excited to be part of this league! As a friendly reminder, the following players are available for trade: Freddie Freeman, Lindor, Bregman, Sandy, and Giolito. Other players can be made available too - as the Million Dollar Man once said, "everybody has a price."

Hi everyone, I just claimed the Papi team. I've been playing Ottoneu for a while (back when it was on pen and paper) so looking forward to mixing it up. Send over some offers! -Rob

My friend wound up taking the freeman team instead. The insight on them is they’ve never played ottoneu and they love yordan. No roster moves were made. Hope we can get a new owner for Papi in asap and get this off-season moving

Awesome finish, Kwantum! Was definitely a coin toss either way. Amazing that after 6 months it comes down to 0.1% of the total points for the year.
-
Great season everyone - glad to have had such an active and competitive year. Congrats to Pepper Grinders, dominant year! Hope all of the new owners enjoyed the year, was fun playing with you all! Here’s to a fun offseason.
-
Good luck today Coco. Barring a miracle (from my point of view), I don't see how I can stay ahead of you. It's always fun when it comes down to the last day of the season.
-
Fun first year playing Ottoneu! Thanks everybody for putting up with my trade offers!
-
Congrats Pepper, great season!

Totally agree with Kwantum. No one is valuing players the same. I’ve actually rejected 3 trades recently for Trout from non-competing teams. I wouldn’t have kept him but that’s me.. use your veto

As for my deal (Bryant/Frelick for Munoz/Kirby) , I needed pitching and he wants hitting keepers. I was planning on keeping both Bryant and Frelick, so we negotiated a deal that fit both our needs.
As for my take on trades in general: As long as there in no collusion, then I think we are all free to make the deals we want to. Some will turn out good and some won't. None of us can see into the future (that I'm aware of), so we just make the best decision with our current information.
-
Scherzer, Boagerts, Eloy, and Seiya are all performing below league average and probably won't be kept, but they will improve A-Fraud's team since he will send worse players to the bench. I don't think he's giving up much, but I am not sure how much one could get for 4 expensive underperforming players. So, I don't see any problem with the deal.
-
I mean - it’s 4 non keepers for two (when healthy) $20+ relievers, a decent $1 starter, and $35 in cap space ROS, for 30ish days of performance from those that were traded. To each their own, I wouldn’t make a trade that I thought was bad.
-
I wanted to say something about the Bryant/Frelick for Munoz/Kirby deal at the time, but thought I would just let it play out. Kirby is a cheaper and better keeper option than Frelick, and Bryant had just been won from the auction.
I can't sit quietly on this one. Trout may not play again this season, and nobody is keeping him at $72+ next season. Two higher-priced closers, one of which is coming off a major injury. In exchange for Scherzer, Boagerts, Eloy, and Seiya. Too imbalanced
