I went from 3rd to 8th and back to 3rd in three days. It's an exciting scrum in the standings so far this season!

Hey Commish - I had an accidental cut of Kelly when I was making cuts yesterday - can I get it fixed?

On that note, if anyone needs a little cash, I happen to have some now, and can throw a little your way in a trade to sweeten it.

Draft Day! Wooooooo!

Attention new owners: Bull Durham has a league constitution, which you can read here:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Dav26vZHLG35eP2l5RA4TZfB2994X2t20TStDVKLGSo/edit#gid=651664547
Most importantly, the league has a relegation rule, which triggers at 14,500 and 14,000 points for the season. 14,000 is easy to achieve, even by rebuilding teams, provided owners stay engaged throughout the season. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask!Caimans 🐊 on February 2, 2025 3:11 PM

The Scott-Isaac swap was a finger fumble and the trade has been canceled. But now everyone know those guys are available!

DRAFT DAY: 8 PM ET on March 12!
Caimans 🐊 on January 22, 2025 11:53 PM

Yeah, I live in Europe. But 8 PM Eastern time would be allright for me. That is 2 AM over here. But I can set the alarm and draft during the night. This way at least the kids don't interfere.

OK, I think we have settled on March 12 for the draft. Next challenge: What time? We are spread across many time zones, which gets tricky. To kick off the discussion, I suggest 8 PM Eastern, which should get most of us out of the work day. I can't even remember if we still have someone in Europe though...

Fine so far with me.

I’m good any night with enough notice….would prefer 12th over 13th but either works

Hi folks, the Slack conversation has us focused on March 12 and 13 as potential draft days. Please weigh in on those with your availability if you haven't already.

OK, folks, it's time to start planning for 2025! Everyone please head over to the Slack channel so we can figure out our draft date.

Hi all, happy to be joining you. Ryan has left a great team but I recognize a few of the names here and am prepared for some very tough competition. Looking forward to 2025!

Just wanted to send out one last thank you for the good times and competition here. The Skubs (or whatever he decides to go with) will be in good hands with Jason. Best of luck all! - Ryan

We'll miss you, Ryan! Way to go out on top!
Ryan has helpfully already found a potential replacement owner, Jason W. Jason has played Ottoneu since 2020. He is currently in six(!) leagues, commissioning three of them. He is looking for a leagues that is active on the trade front, competitive, and featuring engaged leaguemates. Sounds like us! All in favor?Caimans 🐊 on January 5, 2025 10:06 PM

I’m going to make public the availability of my rosters. If I get any interest in this one I’ll let Caimans know so he can put them up for league approval. It’s been a blast competing with you all!
Runs Against All Reason 🪶 on January 3, 2025 9:53 PM

Hey there crew! I'm afraid I'm going to be stepping away from Ottoneu this year. My wife and I are going to be writing and editing a textbook together - which is awesome! I'm pumped! But I'm incapable of half-doing Ottoneu and need to step away. Please find a replacement owner for me.

OK, I have finished arbitration for the last three teams. I will post those arb numbers in Slack for transparency. You are welcome to double check my math!
Caimans 🐊 on December 8, 2024 2:11 PM
-
Thanks for your understanding, everyone. The remaining owners are sending me arb numbers as soon as they can and I expect to have this resolved over the weekend. FYI, players who have already been traded this offseason are not eligible targets.
Caimans 🐊 on December 5, 2024 12:22 PM

That works for me as well!

I am 100% okay with this. Thanks for looking out for everyone
Koufax Curveballs on December 3, 2024 10:29 PM

Hi everyone, I completely fell asleep at the wheel (taking a break after working to replace four owners) and failed to note the arbitration season or even complete my own allocation before the deadline. We have three teams (Caimans, Little Red Birds, and Hungry Hungry Homers) that failed to allocate. We really don't want this kind of situation, so I propose those teams send me arb numbers and I will manually adjust player salaries. Are owners ok with this approach?
Caimans 🐊 on December 3, 2024 10:09 PM
-
Thanks for the quick response, everyone! I have added the new owners to the league and I'll let them introduce themselves. I'll get to work adding them to Slack as well.
Caimans 🐊 on October 30, 2024 10:13 PM

Aye, seconded. Sad to see people go, but hey maybe it’ll help lift me up from 12th place (and from surviving by only 126.1 pts)!

Aye - I look forward to trading all of my AL players to Eckfords :)

Eckfords - jackljlo - Over 25 years of fantasy experience, mostly in a keeper 5x5 AL-only roto league. League winner last 4 years and looking for a more competitive experience in an active league with engaged owners.
Licking the Struckies - chugmilk - Recommended by the Ringtails. Over a decade of fantasy experience and looking for the next challenge.
All in favor of these two candidate owners say "aye" or send me a DM!Caimans 🐊 on October 30, 2024 8:32 AM

News: The Eckfords have also decided to retire. While turning over four managerial slots in one offseason is less than ideal, every owner has left for unrelated reasons. I am not concerned about the overall health of our league, but I am a tired commissioner! The good news is I now have candidates for both remaining vacancies. (See next post)

Regarding illegal rosters during the offseason: I just tried to cut a player, but rosters are locked now.
