The auction is full. Thanks! I'm giving everyone a day to double check their rosters on the auction site. I uploaded the keeper list and corrected missing players. Still, be certain that your rosters and cash are correct. If you need any changes, let me know. If everything is good, I will begin the auction SATURDAY at NOON (CT). 18 hours for initial auction. 12 hours for new bids.
-
Down to one. I DM'd Not Hot Mess. Hopefully I can get rosters updated over the weekend and we can start as soon as Sunday.
-
Right now-it's only Not Hot Mess & Beer Pong (I think) that need to sign up. I'll give it a few more days and I'll email directly. Baseball is going to start in less than a month. We should be able to accomplish a solid slow auction draft in about 2 weeks.
-
Again-we are missing 3 members in the Auction. Please do this as soon as possible. REMINDER: sign up for the Couch Manager auction https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/?auction_id=114 Password- eephus

Hey all-I created the auction room through Couch Managers this morning. I figure this is a good time to load up rosters and maybe get this thing going. The link- https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/?auction_id=114 Password: eephus Please enter your team name as it appears in this league to make the import easier. Perhaps we can get this thing started this weekend or possibly next week. Let me know if you have any questions.

Slow auction works for me.
-
Slow draft sounds great. I prefer waiting until lockout ends, but no big deal.
-
Slow auction workls for me. Totally flexible on timing.
-
Big fan of slow draft. I'd be fine starting it in a couple weeks, regardless of lockout situation at that point.
-
Slow draft: yes
GroupMe: Yes
You all being weirdos: Yes
-
Fix my draft Micheal
-
I want a distraction. NZ Omicron is spiking and most of us are in work from home mode. I know Correa will be good regardless of team. I know random unsigned reliever will have unpredictable results. Im keen to try Groupme, let's just not make it exhausting.
-
Agree on slow draft and waiting until after lock-out ends. I'd be open to GroupMe or something similar but not sure I want to give you weirdos my phone number.
-
We need to talk draft. I assume everyone is good with a slow auction similar to previous seasons? I can start readying an auction site. I don't know when everyone wants to start. I think we should wait until the Lockout ends-we should have a month to auction. I'm not completely set on this idea though. I simply want a better sense of value before drafting. Still, I know some may want a distraction and want to get going. Thoughts? (2/2)
-
Welcome aboard. Thanks for all the info, Short Stack. I think one season we tried to get a Group Me messaging system off the ground for the league. It didn't work out. If we want to try this again, I'd be game. (1/2)
-
Hey boys, excited to join this league. Have been using Ottoneu for 7-years. Figured it was time to add a team. Text me your names and numbers so we can talk trades throughout the season… whenever that may be! (818) 450-4659
-
Additionally-please check out that the keeper deadline is Feb 15.
-
Hello-my thought continues to be running a slow auction. It’s far easier for me to organize and run. I would like to start soon after the lockout is finished.
-
I would def prefer to do the slow auction and happy to pay for it or help setup if needed
-
Will we be doing a slow auction again? Just wondering if that is the permanent plan for the league. I'm fine with either standard or slow auction. Just curious for planning purposes
-
Happy lockout season! Thanks for all the solid arb work in November! Quick question: some of the owners are in another Ottoneu league-we just lost a member of our league and am looking for one SOLID owner to take on a challenging task. It's a super engaged and fun league. Full of good banter. Please let me know if you are interested. Link to team-->https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/639/team?team=4557
-
Reminder: Arbitration continues for the league until Nov 14. Please take a little time and contribute arbitration money to the league. This is one of the most important aspects of this Ottoneu fantasy system. Let me know if you have any questions.
-
Welcome to the beginning of arbitration-an important process for the competitiveness of the league. And, it's also sorta fun. You have until Nov 14 to enter in your arbitration choices. Please take the time over the next month to complete the process.
-
Congrats Shot!
-
Nice work Shot! You had this locked down since Mid June, a really amazing season. I’ll be back to try again next year.
-
Thanks everyone for a great season. I had a strong run. I was flirting with top 20 in the Ottoneu universe before falling off in August. I hope everyone can be back in 2022--try to make every effort to let me know prior to arbitration if you do NOT intend to be back for next season so we can fill any missed spots early.
-
Congratulations to Shot for taking it all and well done Poof and Chance.
-
Congrats commish, solid win. And thanks for organizing.
-
Happy Opening Day Eve. Good luck to everyone this season. Remember, keep it clean. Have fun! If you need me, I'll be at Wrigley all summer.
-
The auction has ended. Thanks for everyone's hard work. All rosters have been updated. From my proofreading, I discovered one small error. I had to increase my ownership of Hunter Greene from $1 to $2. Please double check your roster-let me know if you need any corrections. Lastly, the league is officially open for business. Good luck. Have fun. I'm here if you need anything.
-
Tuesday update: I'll finish the player input from today later. I have made adjustments to the auction to complete it ASAP. With their consent, I have provided Poof and Krushers with enough nominations to complete their teams without having to wait for an auction to finish. Additionally, I have reduced the time for ALL NEW auctions to 4 hours. I'm hoping to be finished with this by the end of today, early Wednesday. I'll finish roster updates soon thereafter.
-
Monday morning update: Updated auctions from the past 24 hours. Again, review my additions and the salaries. Looking at the board, I'll be finished tomorrow with my auction. Poof and Krushers have the most to go to fill a roster, and I believe they will do this by Wednesday (if they keep all their nom'd auctions). So, I may declare an end to this auction by Thursday, but we'll see how it goes.
-
Sunday update: I entered a long list of names from the past 24 hours. Please check your rosters for any inaccuracies. I do a review after I enter names and salaries, but I'm far from perfect. Let me know if you see anything. Looks like a few teams could finish today. I'm hoping to have this auction finished by Tuesday, Wednesday at the latest.
-
Saturday update: I updated rosters from the past 24 hours of auctioning. Additionally, I adjusted the auction times. 12 hours for initial auctions. 6 hours for extension. Hopefully we can finish this in the next couple of days.
-
Friday update: Entered the last 12 hours of auctions into our league. I may visit shortening the auction times on Sunday. Thinking 12 hours for the initial and 6 hrs. for a reset withe under 6 hrs remaining. Any objections?
-
Good morning. I updated rosters from the past 24 hours of auction. Please let me know if I made any errors. Happy drafting!
-
I've updated rosters from yesterday's auction. As I mentioned on the CM message board, I am adding 1 nomination per team. I hope this speeds up the auction and adds a little intrigue to the proceedings. Happy drafting!
-
Please, please, please-if you do not wish to participate on a player's auction, please click the "PASS" button that appears when you scroll over the player's name. If everyone does this for players they no longer wish to auction, the auction will move faster.
-
Quick update: I'm beginning to add players to our rosters. I know that Ottoneu can import from CM, but I also think it's important to give your rosters a "real time" feel. Please let me know if I make any mistakes. I'll try to do this daily until the auction is complete.
-
Lastly. Some tricks.
1-When you bid (or as you watch)-the colors will change depending on the quality of bid. Yellow-your bid did not exceed the highest bid. Red-indicates a new high bidder.
2-If you have no interest in a particular auction? Please select "Pass" for any player that you no long want to bid on. If everyone "passes" the winning bid automatically wins and a new nomination will begin. This is VERY important for an efficient auction.
-
Additionally. If you'd like to bid on a previously nominated player, you may try two options.
1. Go to that same box from the previous direction and enter your highest bid. If your highest bid is approved, the winning bid will be $1 higher than the previous owner's highest bid. Ex. You bid $5 and the previous high bid was $3, you win the bid at $4.
2-You may increase your bid by $1 more by clicking the "outbid by #1" button to the far right. This works if you want to "
-
For those unfamiliar with CM. It's fairly easy, but there are a few tricks. If you want to nominate:
1-Click the player's name you'd like to nom.
2-You will be prompted "are you sure"
3-The name of the player will appear-in the box to the farthest right of the nom player is a space to indicate your highest possible bid. By having a number here, the auction will be go faster because it will not have to reset anytime another owner flips the auction. So, use it wisely an
-
OK. I have the auction set to begin. I'm going to start with 18 hours for the initial auction followed by an 8 hour reset. As the auction rolls along I'll add nominations to teams and shorten the times a bit. Good luck. Have fun. Please let me know if you run into any problems. I'll fix them as quickly as I can.
-
Thanks. Welcome back. I think two owners have jumped the auction bell a bit. I paused the draft-please do not nominate players until I finalize Poof's roster. Poof-please enter your team into CM. I will start the draft ASAP.
-
Sorry fellas. Haven’t been on in about a week. I’m good to draft today. I’ll log on Couch Managers.
-
Hey all-I've updated the rosters on Couch Managers. Please double check my work. If you've already alerted me to an issue, I have fixed your roster. Still waiting for Poof. Let's hope he makes an appearance soon.
-
Thanks for setting up the CouchManagers draft commish. My team looks good except I should have Jurickson Profar instead of Jake Rogers on my team.
-
Thanks for joining. I’m beginning to import the player onto your teams. Did the first four last night. Still waiting for Poof to come by again. So, we’re in a holding pattern.
-
Again-sign up for the auction!
