Everyone needs to make sure that they officially ended their draft by clicking the "i'm done with the draft" box . It appears that the draft is just considered paused right now and won't officially end until all owner have checked the box.
Thanks and Good Luck this seaason, Travis

Dance Off Bro, Me and You's trade block has been updated!
-
I'm an idiot and didn't realize that I'm working in Arizona tomorrow, I won't be free until 10pm Mountain Time. I may have someone draft for me, or I will join as soon as I am free and fill my roster off of the waiver wire.
-
Here is my phone number if anyone needs to contact me before/during the draft. This way is something happens...like a crashed internet...you can contact me and I can pause the draft. (770)712.8504
Additionally, I am ok with going later into the night (especially since I live on the west coast), but if other owners to after the 2 hour limit we will need to accommodate them as well. I am anticipating 3-4 hours total to draft, but it could be shorter due to current team construction.
-
Also, at most we have to draft 213 players. Last year we drafted roughly 450, so I suspect that this year won't take nearly as long. Also, I kind of want to draft Tuffy Gosewisch just for team-name purposes.
-
My wife usually complains about how long I go, but I suspect she won't mind if I hit this draft until dawn. In other words, I'm down for going as late as we all can.
-
Hey guys, I have a last minute trip for work, I will be in an airport tomorrow night. So, the longer we can go tonight the better. Obviously with this short notice I don't expect anything to change, just wanted to let everyone e know.
-
Just a reminder that our draft is TOMORROW (3/4) starting at 10pm EST. We will draft for two hours and then resume Thursday and 10pm EST and go until we finish. I anticipate have 1-2 hours on Thursday. I'm looking forward to virtually seeing everyone tomorrow and don't be shy to talk some friendly trash on the message board, it's more fun that way.
-
If no offers--then I am fine as frog hair to keep him.
-
You are correct, however the trade can be agreed to now and executed after the draft!
-
Pastime, I'm pretty sure there is no trading until the draft ends.

May be willing to trade C. Kershaw, just to free up some $$, I will respond to all offers!

Thanks Panik

Terrific!! Great job!!!!
-
That's great with me! Thanks, Travis, for setting this all up. I saw that Doodle Poll--it must have been a serious pain in the ass!
-
Since I have received minimal feedback over the proposed draft dates, I am scheduling the draft for Wednesday March 4th and Thursday March 5th. The March 4th draft will commence and 10 pm EST (7 Pacific) and go for approximately 1.5-2 hours. The March 5th draft will also begin at 10 pm EST (7 Pacific) and go until we finish. I expect this to last no more than 2 hours. Before I make this official on the ottoneu website, are there any objections?
-
For those owners who have yet to fill out the draft poll, would you please do so at your earliest convenience. Thanks.

Yes, the plan is to move to the allocation system prior to the start of next off season. Therefore, everyone should plan their draft based on the allocation system. I will switch the to the allocation system after we have our draft so that Ottoneu does not get confused.
-
Sounds great. Thanks for all of the feedback. I was hoping this switch was for next season - certainly would have changed my strategy as well.

I'm down with changing to allocations. I think it's pretty clear that the timing of Travis's message means that we'll make the switch next year. If that's the case, I'm totally down for that.
-
I'm sure it's too late and I don't think anybody would want to go backwards this should be about what we do next offseason
-
Yeah, everyone planned their cuts and budget already. If I was keeping Rendon instead of him getting voted off my moves would have been completely different.

I'm sure it's possible, but I would be against it. The offseason is over. I would recommend making the switch beginning with next offseason

Quick question for all of the Ottoneu veterans - are we able to switch to allocation for this upcoming season since the vote off process has already been completed? If so, will we be able to cut any voted off players for full price, or just still just half-price. Thanks

Allocation is the ONLY way to go! I am in three other leagues where owners MUST allocate or their team will be terminated from the league, I like this and would recommend this for this league!
-
I am good with allocation as well.
-
Allocations seems like the better option.
-
I vote allocations
-
I vote allocation also
-
Please check the times that you CAN draft. Thanks
-
Yep, I vote allocation as well
-
I would prefer allocation as well. Are we supposed to fill out the dates/times that we CAN draft? Or cannot?
-
I support switching to allocation system.

I would like our league to adopt this standard, but I am not going to do this unilaterally. I would like everyone to comment in the comment section and discuss why this is or isn’t a good idea. Thanks.
-
Second, in reading about ottoneu and speaking to others, it appears that the allocation system is much more popular than the vote off system. Additionally, this system allows all players to be kept on each team (if desired), but the money allocated will potentially make the player much closer to market value. This has the potential to maintain competitive balance.
-
First, I am planning for the draft to occur during the first week/weekend of March. I have created a doodle poll which I would like everyone to fill out so that we can try and find a draft time and date as easily as possible. All times listed in the poll are Eastern Time Zone. You may find the doodle poll here… http://doodle.com/c2eqre8agb86th9s
-
Good morning, now that the cut deadline has passed we can start preparing for the rest of the season. I am excited for the season as it looks like we have a great group of managers this year. This is the second year of the league and I am just getting my feet wet as the new commissioner. So, there are a couple order of business that we need to attend to. First, the draft and second the vote off/allocation system.
