• Thanks for putting this together and seeing it through, commish. Good luck all!

  Voidbringers on March 16, 2025 11:42 AM

• Draft is complete, rosters are updated here on ottoneu, and in-season transactions are turned on. First game is March 18 Japan time - good luck, everyone!

  Jose Can You See on March 16, 2025 11:30 AM

• Looks like our European is done drafting so I’ll extend the active draft time to 12am Midnight ET so we have a few extra hours to clear auctions. The end of the draft is in sight!

  Jose Can You See on March 13, 2025 6:03 PM

• Sorry, I biked into the office this morning and forgot to hit start before I left but we're underway now. Sadly I could have used a restart or extra salary cap on this draft - it's not going my way so far!

  Jose Can You See on March 10, 2025 10:02 AM

• For real, much appreciated Jose

  Staten Island Stevedores on March 9, 2025 10:48 PM

• We should have to pay you a portion of our cap.

  Tyler Swift on March 9, 2025 10:44 PM

• thanks for all your hard work on this Jose

  Ty Cobb Hardheads on March 9, 2025 10:05 PM

• Think all won players are re-added on CM and we should be good to go in the morning. Sorry about the issues we’ve had and the need to restart auctions that were already running, but hopefully smooth sailing this week.

  Jose Can You See on March 9, 2025 9:46 PM

• Monday morning is probably best since I still need to get players won thus far loaded in as keepers. Will try to get on the laptop this afternoon.

  Jose Can You See on March 9, 2025 2:21 PM

• Couch Managers is working again. I've logged in a couple of times and it seems to be much faster than before. Is the plan to resume Monday?

  Donkey Hotè on March 9, 2025 2:18 PM

• We could try to move the draft to the ottoneu draft platform, though with managers in Europe and on the U.S. West Coast scheduling will be very difficult. And we have too many roster spots left to fill imo to do the in-season 48hr blind auctions. If CM is looking stable when updating keepers I’d say we try again there and we can at least get closer to the point where we can call the draft complete and move to in-season transactions.

  Jose Can You See on March 8, 2025 5:07 PM

• Should we consider finishing on Ottoneu? Could crash again, especially with every league re-adding players.

  Tyler Swift on March 8, 2025 4:52 PM

• Based on the ottoneu forum it sounds like all data since last Sunday may be lost. I have added players won up until the hour before the crash here so I can get them added on CM as keepers and at least we won’t be restarting from scratch. I’m away from home for most of today but will try to take a look tonight.

  Jose Can You See on March 8, 2025 4:43 PM

• I am confirming what Slug mentioned. I have another draft on the site, and it did the same thing there.

  Dirtbags 2025 on March 8, 2025 4:42 PM

• Looks like it’s back up but maybe erased the results?

  Slug-less in Seattle on March 8, 2025 4:31 PM

• Still down today. Frustrating, but we still have 11 days to the first game so plenty of time. Hopefully this afternoon we at least get an ETA on when the draft might be able to resume.

  Jose Can You See on March 7, 2025 8:50 AM

• Thanks for the information

  Dirtbags 2025 on March 6, 2025 8:42 PM

• There’s a post on the forums about it if anyone wants more info. Hopefully it’ll be resolved soon. https://community.ottoneu.com/t/couch-managers-down-3-2-2025/15240/27

  Staten Island Stevedores on March 6, 2025 8:35 PM

• I've been adding players won to the site here a few times a day for people to use the Roster Organizer tool if they'd like, so at least the rosters here serve as a 'back up' of draft results up until 1pm Eastern today if the site is failing again...

  Jose Can You See on March 6, 2025 2:14 PM

• Couch managers not working for either.

  Donkey Hotè on March 6, 2025 1:30 PM

• I had to wait a minute and it's a little rough, but it's working.

  Brandon Combines on March 6, 2025 12:33 PM

• Couchmanagers is acting up again.

  Dirtbags 2025 on March 6, 2025 12:23 PM

• Draft is open, good luck all!

  Jose Can You See on March 4, 2025 9:03 AM

• You can count a max of 162 games per position each season (same as an MLB team), but since catchers only play 2/3 of games and it’s often hard to guess rest days, ottoneu gives the extra C slot so you can have two catchers count stats on any given day. I think most people plan it as one starter C who will play ~110 games and one platoon C who you spot start based on matchups ~50 times.

  Jose Can You See on March 3, 2025 4:17 PM

• Same games cap as other positions. 160 I think. The 2 C spots are just there to make it easier to get there, since catchers get more rest days. 1 catcher league, but more convenient.

  Tyler Swift on March 3, 2025 4:16 PM

• Hey, what's the rule with catchers? Assumed it was a two catcher league, but saw somewhere it actually isnt? do I need to play two? Thanks

  Oakland Anarchists on March 3, 2025 4:10 PM

• That works for me.

  Dirtbags 2025 on March 3, 2025 1:49 PM

• Sounds good, thanks Jose!

  Staten Island Stevedores on March 3, 2025 1:27 PM

• Good news is that couch managers is back online (on mobile, at least) and our keepers are still loaded correctly but I say we give it until morning before starting our draft. If the other drafts I'm in are looking stable by morning I'll plan on hitting start at 9am Eastern tomorrow.

  Jose Can You See on March 3, 2025 1:22 PM

• Thanks! I thought it was a problem with my iphone 7, lol.

  Tyler Swift on March 3, 2025 7:20 AM

• Good morning, our draft is supposed to start today but the Couch Managers site is down for emergency server maintenance. Hopefully they get it fixed quickly but it’s looking like our draft start may be delayed. Plenty of time before March 18 but I’ll keep everyone posted.

  Jose Can You See on March 3, 2025 7:12 AM

• Thanks! And we are starting Monday morning, correct?

  Voidbringers on February 28, 2025 2:09 PM

• Wow, the whole league joined the draft without any reminders. I think this is a fantasy baseball first. Thank you, everyone! I'm loading keepers in now so please take a moment to spot check and make sure nobody got missed. Because we range from Europe to U.S. West Coast, I'm going to set timers for 10 hours with 4 hour resets and an overnight pause from 9pm Eastern to 9am Eastern. This overlaps with sleep for Europe and West Coast, but hopefully with 4 hour resets nobody misses out on a player.

  Jose Can You See on February 28, 2025 10:15 AM

• Pacific time zone for me but I don’t sleep much so I’m good with whatever we go with

  Slug-less in Seattle on February 27, 2025 11:10 PM

• I'm based in Belgium, so timezone CET

  Pudge Pirates on February 27, 2025 9:03 AM

• Forgot the link. Password is WFotto: https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/?auction_id=1129

  Jose Can You See on February 27, 2025 8:58 AM

• A slow draft on couchmanagers has been created at the link below. Please use the password WFotto to join and change your team name to match your name here so I can input keepers correctly. If we can get everyone joined up by this weekend we can start the draft Monday morning if that works for everyone. Do we still have non-U.S. based managers in this league? I will set an overnight pause but want to make sure all time zones are accounted for. Thanks!

  Jose Can You See on February 27, 2025 8:58 AM

• When we getting started?

  Slug-less in Seattle on February 27, 2025 12:18 AM

• Love the slow draft. Thank you

  Slug-less in Seattle on February 6, 2025 12:43 AM

• Works for me as well

  Pudge Pirates on February 6, 2025 12:38 AM

• Sounds good to me.

  Oakland Anarchists on February 5, 2025 8:34 PM

• This works for me. Thanks for setting this up.

  Dirtbags 2025 on February 5, 2025 6:31 PM

• Works for me as well. Thanks for the hard work putting it all together!

  Voidbringers on February 5, 2025 6:15 PM

• Works for me!

  Donkey Hotè on February 5, 2025 5:08 PM

• Works for me. Thanks for your work Jose.

  The Maddogs on February 5, 2025 5:05 PM

• Sounds good to me.

  Brandon Combines on February 5, 2025 4:58 PM

• I agree-thank you. You have created a really great league. I'll draft anytime any place! I'll draft right now!

  Tyler Swift on February 5, 2025 4:24 PM

• thanks for all your hard work on this Jose. March is great.

  Ty Cobb Hardheads on February 5, 2025 4:18 PM

• Love the slow draft, and that time works for me. Thanks for taking care of all that, Jose—I imagine it’s a fair bit of work to import and update rosters and all that. It’s much appreciated!

  Staten Island Stevedores on February 5, 2025 3:47 PM

• Cuts are in and teams are all renewed so all that's left is to finalize a draft plan. I intend to set up a slow draft on Couch Managers again this year and will likely target the first week of March unless anyone has a definite inability to check in once or twice a day during that week. First series of the season this year is early (March 18/19), and we have a fair number of roster spots to fill so want to give us plenty of time. Thanks!
