thank you all for this messages. They were helpful.
-
Musial - I sent you a couple of PMs with some information. You can get them by clicking on the icon next to TRADE at the top of the page (should be highlighted with a number indicating number of messages) and then click on my team name.
-
One last thing: There are no trades until AFTER the auction draft (this of course applies to the whole league and all Ottoneu leagues.)

It will also notify you after trades and waiver wire additions if your roster is valid or not. If your roster is not valid, the system will not allow you to make trades, participate in auctions, or collect any stats.
-
Also, the system will notify you if your roster will be valid or invalid when you are trying to make cuts. FYI.

If you have not read the rules yet, I highly recommend that you do so, here: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/rules. Sections I. and IIV mostly answer the questions you just posted. Please continue to ask any questions that you may have. Thanks.

Any players you end up NOT cutting are your "keepers". You need to have your roster in compliance after this initial round of cuts. That means 40 or less players rostered and you need to be under $400 budget. If you keep LESS than 40 players you need to keep at least $1 available for every remaining slot. (So you can't keep 36 players but still have a payroll of $400, for example. You COULD keep 36 players with a payroll of $396...)

Musial - feel free to ask anyone here questions about the site or the league. We are more than happy to help.

Hi, I can help you through this initial part. You received one "free" cut of any players you don't want to keep for the upcoming year. (I think you only cut Puk, which I can see you did not understand how this works. You can PM all the other players you want to cut this evening, and I will remove them from your roster.)

The Musial Suspects's trade block has been updated!

looking forward to this league. I am a first time ottoneu user so am working through the platform. How do I get my team in valid state? I just cut one player. Also are we allowed keepers?
-
Welcome! Please make that we have already set a draft date and time: Sunday, February 24, 2019 9:00 PM EST

Welcome to the new owner of Musial. Thanks for joining us.
-
Musial has been abandoned. It looks like every other owner managed to get their roster in compliance. If you know of any interested owners to take over Musial's team, please let them know. Thanks.

Hey! It's Enrico Pallazzo!'s trade block has been updated!

that date is ok with me

That day works for me.

I'm good with the 24th.
-
Sunday 2/24/19 at 9:00 PM Eastern works for me. Side note, I'm sure you all might gamble on other sports. If you want to buy some Super Bowl squares, email me at jimbarrett.ii@gmail.com.
-
Also, please make note that during the auction each team MUST nominate a player when it is their turn! You do not get to skip nominations. Strategize accordingly. Thank you.

I am proposing Sunday 2/24/19 at 9:00 PM Eastern for our draft. From what I gathered from the responses, this seemed like an available and preferable date and time. I am setting in now in the league settings. If there are any issues/objections, please let us know ASAP so we can re-schedule if need be. Thanks.

I'd like to keep the Vote Off system, that was one of the reasons I picked this league over others.
-
Re draft I’d prefer PM EST. Flexible on the day of the week.
I like the vote off system, too
-
Tribe Time is Now!'s trade block has been updated!
-
For me I like the system because it is different than any of the other leagues I am in. I like the challenge.
-
Would there also be any interest in switching to allocation from the current vote-off system?
-
Thanks Mideast.
-
I figured it out. It has been switched from 48 to 24 hours.

High and Tight - can you help Mideast since you are a commish in another league.
-
House Stark: Great to hear! I am going to go through everyone's responses today and give an option for a weekend draft (if possible)

I too wouldn't mind the change to a 24 hour wait period...it just doesn't seem like something I can change through the settings on my own. I will write Ottoneu and see if it can be done.

I’m planning on playing, and have already renewed my team. In terms of the draft I’m on the west coast and would strongly prefer we do it on a weekend so the time zone thing works for everyone. I’d like to avoid being forced to deal with draft stuff at work. I’m open for business if anyone is interested in a trade.

Mideast - I can understand your view and appreciate the explanation. On another topic - there are a few of us that are wondering if the trade vote period could be changes from 48hrs to 24hrs. Is this something that needs a vote?
-
Also, as an anecdote, I got into my first Ottoneu league by claiming an abandoned team after the cut deadline. I think I was and still am a good and active owner in that league (in addition to my other leagues), so I don't think we will necessarily just pick up the dregs if we need to find new owners.

If they continue to be non-participatory after the cut deadline, as I said, we will abandon them at that time and will do so in good conscious that we gave them every opportunity to stake their claim in their teams.

Right, well these owners have PAID to own these teams. Not all owners are "good" owners or "active" owners in season or off season. No guarantee that their potential replacements will be either. I am sure we have all played in Fantasy leagues where there wasn't 100% participation 100% of the time. It is sort of part of the territory. And for the lack of a better answer/solution, you should plan accordingly.

Mideast - Understand that and appreciate you want to be fair to those owners and give them a chance to come back. However, in my opinion, it doesn't give the current active owners a chance to make trades with those rosters prior to that deadline. This may be just me, but I would like a chance to make a trade with a possible new owner prior to the deadline.
-
there are going to be a LOT of teams needing owners after the deadline. I would like to see us get a head start on new owners, since the best owners are already active
-
Any new owners after the cut deadline, per the rules" i. If a team changes ownership, the new owner is given the opportunity to make one round of penalty-free cuts." So the cut deadline is NOT a deadline to finding a new owner(s). However, if these inactive teams do not make any cuts, I will abandon their teams right after the cut deadline.

Same thing with Musial - no activity since October.
