I enjoyed that, well done to Microsoftly and Peoria. There was a brief week when I was closer to them - didn’t last!
Enjoy the playoffs and see you next year

Congrats to Excelling for doing just that down the stretch to overtake me on Saturday. One of these years I'll time out the games played and innings pitched caps right, but probably not.
-
Quite an impressive run, coming up just short in the final week. And lastly, our bronze medalist, the Harpooners of Westish College. It appears they are returning this franchise to its former glory and will be a force to be reckoned with in the coming seasons. Thanks to all our players, and I sincerely hope everyone plans on coming back next season.
-
And with that, the 2023 Ottoneu season is in the books. I hope you all found this year to be as entertaining and enjoyable as I did. Congratulations to Pascal's Microsoftly Excelling squad who took home the title with an impressive 81 total points, leading the league in both HR and SLG. Nothing soft about that lineup! I also wanted to recognize our runner-up The Peoria Distillers, who had a stranglehold on the top spot for the vast majority of this season.

I did not hear any feedback from the crowd, so I reinstated Juan Soto to Lamoka at the original $62 salary.
-
I am fine with reassigning him to your team. I appreciate the open communication. If anyone has an issue - please respond to me, privately or on the wall - whichever you prefer. I will give this until late tonight (eastern time) and make a determination after that.
-
Woops... Meant to cut Marlow and somehow cut Soto instead. Not sure what the leagues policy on something like this... I'd love to take Soto back since it was very much unintentional but if it's too late I understand

Apologies - just realized my last message did not include the correct date. It should have read "Trade Deadline is Thursday, August 31st, for us here in Ottoneu." Last chance to improve the squad via trade! Today is also one of the rare times this year we don't have an active auction, better get on it people haha! Good luck the rest of the way.
-
Trade deadline day in real life! Thursday for us here in Ottoneu. Time to make those moves!
-
Hey everyone - hope you enjoyed your Opening Day festivities! Just a note, we had an accidental cut occur today. The manager promptly reached out and the issue was resolved within a few hours, but I did not want all of you going crazy refreshing your tabs looking for said player. We'll chalk this one up to being new to Ottoneu format and interface. If you have any problems with this particular situation, or a similar one that arises, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Auction Draft in t-minus 10 minutes!
-
Greetings esteemed members of Surplus or Scrub! We had a wild week leading up to tonight, the eve of our annual auction draft. We had a late scratch in the lineup, but our newest member Alex swooped in to save the day. Alex will be the new manager of Elligators (name subject to change). As a token of our appreciation, Alex is entitled to a round of penalty free cuts, which could lead to some new tantalizing nomination options for tomorrow. Looking forward to catching up with everyone tomorrow!
-
Barring any late additions, it appears that next Friday, March 10th is the winner of the poll. Please tentatively mark that day down for our auction draft. I will be following up with a few of you to see if we can help accommodate your schedule in an effort to have everyone present. Thank you!
-
Hey everyone, just wanted to give a quick update. I appreciate the quick turnaround on the poll, but we are still waiting on the final three votes. Currently, we have the next two Friday nights (March 3 and March 10) as they top candidates. More info to come in the next couple days.
-
Many thanks 👍

Along the same lines, I think you have the option to change your universal Ottoneu time setting to match your location. I have no idea how/if this works or if it makes managing during the season easier, but here is a thread I remember reading on the community page. https://community.ottoneu.com/t/users-can-now-set-their-own-timezone/7416?u=jthornton

Sorry! Yes, all times are set as EST.

Greetings everyone! Here is a survey for you to complete regarding our upcoming auction draft. My hope is to have all responses in by Sunday afternoon, and we can make a formal decision shortly thereafter. Please let me know if you have questions. https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/boZrO6Ya

Hello everyone! I am happy to report that we are back at full strength, with the addition of Ed (Schwar-Bombs Away) and HamPorter360 (Just Vlad to be Here). Please join me in giving them a warm welcome. Quick reminder - we are a week out from the Keeper deadline. Good luck in those final roster decisions, the auction draft will be here before we know it.
-
contact me. I will probably wait until the end of the week to reach out to the other two interested candidates. Again, thank you all for keeping this league alive and well. Start crunching those projection sheets, the keep/cut deadline is only few months away!
-
Thank you all for completing your arbitration allocations (even those of you that contributed to my $30 salary hike!). In an effort to keep everyone in the loop, I would like to announce we are down another manager, as the trio at the helm of D'Arnaud stepped down last week. I have two potential managers that I am able to reach out to, but I wanted to open it up to our existing league members first. If you have a friend or league mate from another league who is interested, please feel free to

Thanks Commish, glad to be back

Hi all, thanks for a great season! This was our first time in Ottoneu and we enjoyed it, but the daily lineups was a bit too much to handle. So I'm afraid we have to leave this league. I hope there's enough time for you to find a replacement before offseason decisions need to be made.
-
Just a reminder - two weeks left to complete your arbitration allocations. If you have questions or the process is not clear, please do not hesitate to reach out. Looks like we have a full roster of managers once again, thanks to Big Papi for making a triumphant return to the league! Welcome (back)!

Congratulations to Sonoma County Crushers on the title! Well done to Peoria and Harpooners on the top 3 finish, the standings were all over the place this back end of the season. I know I was late to the game but thanks to everyone for a competitive season and I’m look forward to being here for a full season next time around. Ready for some playoffs and off-season fun!

Hey Elligators, so those are just both products of the format. I don't believe there is an explanation for either in the rules but you can search both of those topics on the forums and likely find explanations from Niv on why they are that way. In short there are two Catcher slots to allow you to start two catchers on the same day because catchers do not typically play a full slate of games but it also makes Ottoneu NOT a two catcher league.

Soooo...I just realized the games played limits for individual positions includes a limit for our catchers at 1/2 the games of other positions. So those guys are useless to me. In other musings, why do we have a MI but not a CI?

A player has to be in an SP slot in order to accrue stats for a start and has to be in an RP slot to accrue relief stats.

Can anyone explain why Aaron Ashby’s stats don’t show up in my daily stats? I’ve noticed it a few times with a starter who is eligible to be in the reliever slot. Are relievers who start games not eligible to have their stats count?

I am Jared by the way, Senzelevator owner and first year commissioner. Thanks for joining and best of luck the rest of the year!
-
Welcome Elligators and Chocobos! Yes - Excel is correct. If an owner takes on a team after the Keeper deadline, usually we offer them a round of penalty free cuts. This does not apply for a change in ownership during the season. Believe it or not, we do have a specific league channel on the Ottoneu Slack (surplusorscrub645). I can't say it has been used very often in the last couple years but that doesn't mean we can't get it up and running. Let me know if you can't find it.
-
I think the Slack mentioned is for the entirety of Ottoneu, not just this league. And the free cuts were for the offseason; every team has a window to make free cuts after the season ends, and a few of us took over teams from inactive managers that hadn't made any cuts during that window.
(This is my first season of Ottoneu also, so I'm not 100% certain on this)
-
Hello everyone! I’m thrilled to be in my first Ottoneu league. I look forward to meeting and competing with you. I have a couple of questions: I see earlier someone mentioning a slack for the league. Is that a thing? Also I also see someone saying something about new owners and free cuts, is that also a thing?
Thanks!

Please welcome the new managers who are taking Mr Senrub and my team. I have really enjoyed my time playing in this league and helping out as co-commish but I have too many teams to properly manage so this is one of the teams I am stepping away from. Best of luck to all with the rest of the season!

Hey new guy here, anyone know how I can get added to the Ottoneu Slack?

When a team gets a new owner, they are allowed one round of penalty free cuts, which is what happened today.
