We appear to have all 12 owners (15, actually) locked in for next year. Thanks to all, and good luck next season.

In the interest of transparency, Club 10 Billion's only 5MiLB move for 11/15 will be to promote Brandon Nimmo to the main roster. This will leave me with three filled 5MiLB slots, and two picks for the draft starting on 12/1. All other teams' moves can be submitted to me privately by 11:59 PM Pacific on Sunday, and I will announce on Monday.

Thanks to RD for the breakdown, which covers the essentials. Anyone can feel free to use the board, Slack, or email with any questions on arbitration, but there is also extensive detail on the mechanics and strategy here: http://www.fangraphs.com/fantasy/ottoneu-arbitration-omnibus-ii/

Allocations have to be made by Nov. 14th, this Saturday. There is a yellow band closer to the top of this page that lists that date. You can also check the calendar. The arbitration particulars are listed under the offseason section of the rules (on the menu bar on this page). Basically, you have $25 to spend. You have to spend at least $1 on every team, and no more than $3 on any one team. You also must allocate all $25 or none of your allocations count.

When do the arbitration allocations have to be made? What are the limits/rules to that? I don't see anything specifying those. Just when I click on "Allocations", it shows I owe $1 to every team in the league???

Or, just private message me your email address Hello Kitty and I can make sure you get an invite.

Slack is confusing me. I already have an account, but it's in another slack community. When I try to use that link you gave me, it's forcing me to have an email address that ends in @otteneu.com, which I don't? How do I get in?

As an added *sexy* tease of Slack activities, I have thrown open discussion of a few potential rules changes in the 3TOOL channel. Join us if you want to influence possible legislation before it reaches the floor for a vote.

All, when you check back in to make or check your arbitration allocations, please welcome Justin, new owner of A-ARON->Theo and the Superfriends! And as Justin has reminded, we have a 3TOOL group on the Slack Ottoneu community for additional communications. Slack also hosts plenty of other helpful Ottoneu info and tools. Sign up for Slack at https://ottoneu.slack.com/signup, and then send @ahix24 a DM for an invitation to the 3TOOL group. And remember to send my your 5MiLB moves by 11/15!

Also, we have two owners that have remained inactive through October. I have reached out to both over the past several weeks. One team is mulling over their participation for next year, and the other is AWOL. I will be looking to make moves soon to stabilize both teams. As a heads up, this may include a slight extension on arbitration and 5MiLB moves for any owners taking over. Hopefully our current owners find a way to stay on, but if not, new owners should be set up competitively.

Checking in: Less than two weeks for your arbitration allocations to be made, and only one more day than that to turn in any promotions and/or cuts you'd like to make to you 5MiLB roster to get ready for the 5MiLB draft. As a reminder: allocations end on 11/14, 5MiLB moves are due by 11/15, and the 5MiLB snake draft begins on 12/1.

Apologies for delayed transmission, but please feel free to officially welcome our new co-owners of Sano to Drugs, Rob and Tiim! Checking on the status of a few owners to hopefully confirm their continued involvement. For the rest of you, get ready for arbitration starting tomorrow, and let me know if you have any questions.

Sorry to see Garrett (Sano to Drugs) go, as he helped recruit some of you to the league, but I believe that we already have an owner for his team. The claiming owner has a chance to confirm that he is on board with our custom rules, and then we'll officially welcome him aboard. Looking forward to the start of arbitration on Thursday, hopefully with everyone remaining locked in for next year.

Hey, Sorry for not playing much. I totally thought I could still fantasy really hard with a newborn baby and turns out I was wrong. Sorry again and I hope there are no hard feelings. I will mark my team abandoned asap so you guys can find a replacement.

A few non-administrative points: 1) As your commissioner, I thank you all again for being great to deal with this year, and for staying active all season. We only have two owners that have not logged in since October started, which is pretty damned good, all things considered. And 2) As your league champion, I say SUCK IT, and better luck next time, jabronis.

Welcome, HK! Just finished our first season with a good group of guys. This year has been pretty quiet, but we've got some rules add-ons geared towards long-haul management (which I'll email you about separately) that will hopefully make for a busy offseason. Glad to you have you signed up for the full slate!

Everyone - I enjoyed being part of the league this year. The race for 2nd and 3rd got a little interesting there towards the end of the season. Unfortunately, we fell a little short this year but we will be back next year. Thanks.

Hello everyone, just picked up Slump Busters this morning, and renamed it. I've been doing Otteneu for a few years, and I'm looking to move up to the 99$ tier this year. How awesome is this league? How many people are sticking around from year to year?

Salary inflation took place this morning, so all of your main roster players with MLB service time will be $2 more expensive, and minor leaguers on the main roster will be +$1. Next offseason step will be beginning of arbitration, which will take place from Oct 15-Nov 15. During arbitration, each team gets $25 to allocate to players' salaries on opposing rosters, with a max of $3 allocated from one team to another, and a minimum of $1. So we will all take on an additional $11-$33 of salary.

On a less fortunate note, I have officially marked Slump Busters as an abandoned team. If any of you know of good owners that like challenges, please send them my way-- happy to have that type aboard. Thanks to everyone else for a strong first season, and we hope to have everyone else carry over for next year.

I have been informed by the owner of Slump Busters that he will not be returning next year. He is managing through the end of the regular season, then will be relinquishing control to a new owner to manage the full offseason. If anyone knows a potential owner that would like to take over, please put them in touch with me. Thanks!

Just to clarify on my Blake Snell auction "Boo" comment, he was not on any 5MiLB roster, and everything was completely kosher with that going forward. I was just hoping that he'd slip through to the 5MiLB draft so that I might have had a shot there. But no...

Of course, any issues or concerns, please let me know. And if you don't think you'll be coming back for next season, please alert me ASAP so that a replacement owner can take part in the full offseason. Hope it doesn't come to that, but I understand if it can't be avoided.

This means that owners will have from the close of the regular season through November 15th to make 5MiLB moves necessary to prepare for the snake draft. Postponing to that date gets us past both the Ottoneu arbitration period and the Arizona Fall League season.

Turns out I lied about a second vote on 5MiLB, and have unilaterally decided to move the 5MiLB roster freeze until November 16th, and the 5MiLB draft will take place starting on December 1st. Details have been updated accordingly in the 3TFOOL 5MiLB rules at https://drive.google.com/open?id=1z13WYslgZh9wX4rT_q8oPAMokQKMbvzaQsIAPrbKJyY.

5MiLB portion of the trade is not conditional on the league approving second part, but is being made to avoid Club 10B roster penalty complications. If second part of trade is vetoed, first part will stand.
