The new owners are allowed a one time opportunity to cut players. We've had three new owners since the final day of off season cuts. Each has taken advantage of this rule: The rule is under adding and dropping players-
"h. If a team changes ownership, the new owner is given the opportunity to make one round of penalty-free cuts."
-
The cuts were allowed only for new people who took over teams, all others are locked till after the auction. As far as I know there are no exceptions to that rule
-
We've had three teams make cuts the last day or so. What about letting everyone make a round of cuts if they want just to even things out?
-
Welcome to the league! We are full and locked in for Sunday at 8ET. Please join the GroupMe Chat. We have 3 members so far. I promise you that it gives the league an extra bit of personality that this message board simply cannot. Baseball is fun! Horray baseball!

How did he finish last with this team?
-
I am in and will be ready for tomorrow
-
Just cut Shark Tank. I hope he is well. Seems like a strange case. He'd check his team every other day, but hasn't responded to any message and was overdue on his payment. In the end, Hot Mess and I decided the best course was to cut. I have put a message out to the Slack community for a new owner. If all else fails, we'll ask for a proxy for the auction and then find a new owner.
-
Welcome to the league.
-
Welcome to the league. Hopefully you noticed the auction date-Sunday @ 8pm ET. The good news? All that salary cap space and look at that 1b depth. Plus...Kraken will find a way to send you 10 trades a day. One of them will work for you. You'll be back at it in no time! Haha! Again...welcome to the league. It's a fun. Good personalities.
-
Lame trade that my predecessor made, then dumped the team.
-
Schwarber Beer Crushers 🍻's trade block has been updated!
-
Now we've officially lost the owner of Schwarb's beer crushers. Ugh. Makes me want to crush a few beers. Hopefully we can find a new owner quickly.
-
A couple of items: 1-I’ve simply made the ultimatum to Shark to contact us today or I’m open to finding a new league member ASAP. I want a full auction Sunday. I assume we are in general agreement that we want this for the health of the league. 2-please pay your league fees. A few are overdue and you won’t be able to participate in the auction. See you Sunday!
-
HEY SHARK TANK: HERE IS YOUR SIGN TO REPLY SOMETHING ON THE MESSAGE BOARD. ARE YOU GONNA MAKE THE MARCH 4TH DRAFT DATE?
-
Personally I think we make it for March 4, and maybe make another attempt to contact Shark Tank. What is the risk/downside if they don't show?
-
I set the draft day and time. I did attempt to reach out to Shark Tank via email yesterday. He has not responded. However, he has checked his team recently...as in Monday. So, I feel like we have our hands tied a bit in how we want to proceed. My assumption is that he/she will be at the auction. If not? That's where we could run into problems.
-
I reached out to the owner of Shark Tank Sunday afternoon/evening. He has checked into the league today, but did not respond to my message about the auction. I am all for March 4th, and I assume we are good to go with an auction on March 4th. However, I'd like to make sure we have full participation in an auction. So...if you're out there Shark Tank...we'd really like to make sure you are good with March 4th.
-
Didn't we already have a draft day set? I thought we set it for March 4th at 8pm. Last I checked we were still waiting for one or two more Owners.
-
It's almost March and we don't have a draft date set. Let's get something set. Set it at March 4th. All but one have responded. At this point, that is about all that will work.
-
I mentioned a month or so ago about creating a Group Me chat group for the league. I use this in 2 fantasy leagues. My other Ottoneu league and then a group I play baseball-football-hockey with all year long. It's just easier than the normal and arcane message boards. You can sign up, but only opt into conversations when you want to. You can put the app on your phone or you can access it via the web address on your browser. The invite link is here- https://groupme.com/join_group/37087822/bzpHHZ

It’s cool. Hard work crushing all those beers. Shark Tank remains. We are looking good for March 4.
-
Sorry been busy at work. March 4 during those hours are great! Thanks
-
Yes. March 4th. My apologies. I coach high school tennis and I was working on an indoor practice schedule for March 3rd. I obviously confused the two. So yes. March 4th. It's a Sunday. 8-11pm. Again, my apologies for the confusion. Thanks Stud. Thanks for your input Trea. Down to 2 teams that need to confirm for Sunday, March 4 8-11pm.
-
Yes I can do either one of those dates. I am flexible to the draft days and times, so whatever works is fine by me, I will make the time! Thank you and look forward to it!
-
@The Rizzorectors, I think you mean to ask them if they can do March 4 at 8pm, not March 3. We were trying to settle for Sunday, March 4 I believe.
-
Yes. PM. I don't do well on a Sunday morning. We are 3 short. Trying Not to Suck (new guy), Schwarber Beer, & Shark Tank. Can you three draft on March 3 at 8-11PM (ET)? Thanks a TON!
-
I'm assuming that it's 8-11pm and not AM. I can do the date, just not the morning.
-
Here's the calendar link. https://doodle.com/poll/qfhpsgakt6ivg6yp
If you haven't already, please fill this out ASAP.
-
However, I will work on the draft board this weekend. I think we should have an idea of March 4 by Sunday. If we can't get agreement by Sunday, we should move forward with a slow draft. If we do go that direction, I will submit a questionnaire for rules and regulations.
-
In the end, I think *poof* is correct. We should do everything in our power to make sure that we can have a real draft room. To that end, can we check with everyone to see if March 4 8-11 (I assume this is ET) will work for everyone? That means, we need to possibly email folks who have not yet submitted their answers the the questionnaire.
-
I'm good either way.
-
Slow draft sounds good if you want to set that up.
-
That should be ‘I agree’ and not ‘ignore’.
-
And ignore we can get the 4th with 100% participation, we are good to go. I agree with all the reasons why that is the very best scenario. However, I’m offering an alternative if this does not happen. In the meantime, we need 4 ish people to complete the calendar survey.
-
I think you should try the Sunday, March 4th at 8:00 date. According to the poll, there are 8 of 9 that are good with that date. Three owners haven't logged in to participate in the poll and Margaritaville doesn't appear to have completed the poll. I prefer we draft normal versus a slow draft. Part of the entertainment and challenge is having to make quick decisions whether to bid or not. I understand we may have to do what we have to do. But I say set a date and go with it. Try Mar. 4th.
-
I fine with that. We just finished one in another league I am in. We always do 24 hours with everyone nominating 2. If the the clock goes below 12 hours and someone bids it only resets to 12 hours. It took us a week to complete on couch managers.
-
I would be fine with that.
-
Looking at the draft doodle, it looks like we won't have a full agreement in place for a draft date. What do you think of a slow draft? I do it in my other Ottoneu league. We started on Monday. It's slow, but it gets the job done and everyone has equal time (in the case of my other league...16 hours...we have 6 different time zones) to view any auction item. It's fair and balanced. We can chat and carry on while it goes on. I think we should seriously think about it. Would love to set it up.
-
I filled it out. Thanks.
-
https://doodle.com/poll/qfhpsgakt6ivg6yp Here is the link to the new scheduling poll. Please fill it out as soon as you can. I tried to include as many dates as possible.
-
great to have you and you inherited a good team! We should have a new poll up for the draft soon.
-
Hey all. Glad to be apart of this league. I really enjoy baseball and saber as a great hobby. Looking forward to competing against you all.
-
and just like that, a new owner!
-
What the? That one is weird. If you need commissioner help, I’d be happy to give a hand.
-
Now needing a new owner for the former co-commissioner who has decided not to play this season.
-
Feb 25 works for me
-
Hate to be the bad one, but that time on that date is no good for me. I can make a later start time work out on 25th. Prefer a different date though. What happened to using the poll. How bout a weeknight. I've got 8 dates in months of Feb. and March that I cannot do(Feb. 24, 25, 26, Mar.1, 5, 10,21,31). I can make any other day.
-
Works for me
-
5 people down with drafting a week from sunday. is this a date that works for others?
-
Im good with 7pm, 2/25.
