On the back of this, I have included a new paragraph in the league charter to ensure all owners adhere to the spirit of fantasy baseball in general, and Ottoneu specifically, by trying to simulate a real 40-man roster as much as possible by not circumventing "ambiguous" rules to your own advantage simply because the site allows it.
-
Hi all. I don't know if any of you have seen the slack community in the last 24hrs but there's been a large discussion about a certain rule that says "Each team should maintain at all times a roster of 22 major-league players that can fill out a starting lineup" and that the site doesn't have any code to enforce this. So you could, for instance, cut your catcher(s) once you've reached 162 games and replace them with another player to help elsewhere.

Ladies and gentlemen we have drafted! I have checked the box for ending the draft and your players are now yours to trade / cut as you wish! Thanks for your patience and sticking with it. Good luck for the season ahead.
-
Just wanted to update the group...if I win the players I've bid on then I will be out of roster spots and I've also passed on all the other players up for auction on Couchmanagers. So if it's just a few teams with $1 bids left, then I'm fine with whatever method you think is best for those teams to fill their rosters.
-
Probably not very strongly Paul. As it includes all values (rather than just the values that were used in this season's drafts) I think it's pretty skewed.

I like that chart RJ. It'll be interesting to see if there's any correlation between those results and success in-season.

FYI everyone - The couchmanagers draft room is now ready to begin!

Hey guys, I just wrote a small post about our draft with a dashboard comparing our drafted salary values compared to the Ottoneu average values for FGPTS: http://visualbaseball.info/

Thanks for the tip bud

There's an option to change your team name, it's hard to find but it's way down on the bottom right of the auction page.

Hey Paul, my username on couchmanagers is kttulu if you weren't sure who I was

I have to say I agree with MWFC. Blind bidding is not the right way to end the auction (I didn't realize that would be the case when discussing it last night) Couchmanagers may not be the perfect way either but I feel it's the most appropriate. The draft is here - http://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/index.php?auction_id=41 - and the password is Otto101 - Once you've joined I can manually add the players you won yesterday. I believe I set it to start once the last person has joined.
-
Also...I've noticed that on Ottoneu if you auction a player and two teams bid the same amount then there is a coin flip to see who gets that player...not really the way you should finish an aggressive, fair auction draft in my opinion. There I've said my piece...
-
Just a quick message about Couch Managers vs. Auction on sight...I believe we need to complete our teams before we should be doing a blind auction. Hard to strategize if you have to wait 48 hours before you know what others bid and if you won. I know there are mostly $1 bids left, but I think everyone should still be able to nominate and get players to fill out their bench for $1 without having to deal with teams going overbudget and cutting players, etc.

I can go pretty late, but i think im in one of the easier time zones. Just a heads up: in Alberta we just moved our clock one hour for daylight saving time. Not sure if we are the only ones but double-check to avoid geing an hour early / late

Happy draft day everyone. Set your alarm, tell your partner/kids/cat you'll be physically and emotionally unavailable. Get snacks & coffee ready. Does anyone have a limit to how long they're available for? I'll be starting at 8pm UK and can do 7 hours (up to 11pm ET) If we do need to complete it another time, the couchmanagers slow draft room that I created a while back is still open - hopefully we'll only have $1-$5 players left to draft after today.

TODAY IS FINALLY THE DAY

Sure thing UFO...he's all yours for $82! Hehe

Thanks, guys. Things got unexpectedly crazy for me. I promise my inability to draft won't be a sign of being a bad manager.

Yep! See you guys there!

Excellent! I've added a co-owner who will draft for A-O River if he can't make it - Jeff has added a few of his details to the league spreadsheet. I can't wait to get started.
-
Duh.

oh fuck yeah

As we're one week away from the draft can I ask everyone to leave a comment to confirm you're all still available. A-O River sent me a message a couple of weeks ago to say he's moving house and may need a proxy. I'm sure we can find one in the slack community.
-
I would be Paul, but not this season. Having 4 (don't ask...) Ottoneu teams doesn't leave enough time.

Would anybody here be interested in a more casual Yahoo or ESPN re-draft league? Being from the UK I don't know anyone else into baseball and I found the random leagues were barely active last year.

Not a problem. I'm running 2 Yahoo start-up leagues with a bunch of people on an English football forum too so I'm definitely sharpening my co-ordinating skills!
