draft start time is being moved to tomorrow morning, but I expect we'll be good to go at that time. the site is back up, but seems there are still some bugs that will be resolved tonight, so let's not worry about dealing with any of that tonight, and have smooth sailing tomorrow.. this thread has more details on everything going on: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/couch-managers-down-3-2-2025/15240/15

happy draft day...........? CM is still down, so i've moved start time to no earlier than 5pm ET today, i won't start the draft any later than 5pm, so next delay will be to tomorrow (i'll keep our league banner updated). I don't have any concerns about starting draft tomorrow or Wednesday, but if CM is still down by Thursday, i'll look into other plans. I'm not just looking for CM to be back, but for it to be working smooth (which i'll be able to check w/ my other draft), keep you all posted.
-
The whole couchmanagers site is down right now and has been for most of the afternoon.. from what i've seen, the guy running it said working to update and get through the issues ASAP, so it'll be back at soem point.. I don't want to start until it seems stable, so i might kick our start out to Tuesday, because i'm not worried about being done by a day. i've updated start time to ~12 PM ET tomorrow and will not start sooner than that, but could delay further if no good news
-
Thanks seams, same here (also in a draft that’s been impacted this weekend). Going to monitor but I might delay the draft if the site is as bad as it has been lately, will keep an eye out for any communication from CM to see what’s up, hopefully an announcement after they restore the site, and keep y’all posted
-
FYI, I am in another Ottoneu league that has been drafting since yesterday. Couch Managers has been down most of today and was troublesome all day yesterday.
-
Slow draft room is created: https://www.couchmanagers.com/auctions/?auction_id=1121 (Password = 2025sb) I plan to kick off the draft on 3/3 in the morning, so would appreciate everyone joining the draft room ahead of time (if not you'll be getting reminders from me!) less than one week!
-
alright - starting to look at the survey results.... slow draft seems to be the way this year, as I got multiple requests to bring it back, and only a few late weeknights as viable options. i'm always partial to a live draft, but i don't care enough to disrupt anyone's schedules for it.. i will suggest we go slow draft this year, and attempt to be back on live draft next year (maybe alternating years is our sweet spot). please plan for an early march slow draft, more to come but happy to discuss
-
Thanks everyone for survey responses, anyone who hasn't responded - please be sure to provide inputs by today. i'll review results tomorrow and work to set a draft date. link below in message board. Thanks!
-
Great to see everyone renew and get legal! Good work y'all.. Next up -- time to start planning our draft! Please complete the linked survey by end of week if you would like a say in when we draft: https://forms.gle/kk1LdbwBeWW1UF176
-
Today is deadline day! Please be sure to cut down to a legal roster (pending any trades) by 11:59 pm tonight. Also a few stragglers on paying renewals for the 2025 season, so don't forget to do that too. Let's see some deadline deals!
-
Correct that the draft will not be February first. Likely March or late February, I’ll get to organizing it with a poll soon
-
I thought the draft was scheduled for February 1 @ 6pm cst. Is this not correct?

Any ideas for the draft Miami?
-
Finally made my cuts, I responded to old trade talk messages. Welcome new owners and I’m ready to talk trades!
-
Now I want to get a $999 player for real! I think I could secure the loans, the tough part would be convincing one of you to bid $998.

Love the name! Also, confirming $5 in arb coupons has been applied to both teams. JRam for $5, then Doyle/Adames/Albies (that’s what those transactions are, no more joke transactions to troll weather report lol)
-
Thanks to everyone for the welcoming to the league. Looking forward to being part of the league.

Thanks! Happy to join you.

Welcome to the new owners.
-
I thought I would celebrate my new team with a new name. So I renamed “A Team of My Own”. The new moniker is the Woebegone Whippets. This in the fictional baseball team from the fictional town of Lake Woebegone in the geographical center of the real state of Minnesota. Tip of the hat to Garrison Keillor.

Anybody want this Sam Weatherly guy? :D

dispersal draft is complete and rosters have been updated with the results. let me know if anything looks off.. ATOMO and Rotoball10 have $5 of arb coupons i'm allowing to be used freely (on any player, since arb is wacky now with the changed rosters) otherwise they are ready to roll for offseason trading mode
-
While it would be fun to broadcast the results of the dispersal draft, my thing on that is it provides additional information to the rest of the league on owners’ valuations, that the rest of us don’t have on each other. For example, if you see ATOMO drafts Moncada in the 40th round, you might see that as a great buying opportunity because ATOMO doesn’t value him higher than at least 39 other players. I’ll get the results in order to import rosters, so when you see me trade for Moncada… 🙂
-
Welcome new owners!!
Will the picks for the dispersal draft be posted in real time on this message board?
-
Great idea, I like it.
-
those two managers will have a snake draft to build their rosters. the player pool of the snake draft will be all players (and current salaries) that are currently on the DILLIGAF & ATOMO rosters. allows for better balance for both rosters on day one of new management
-
Excuse my ignorance but what is a dispersal draft?
-
Welcome!!
-
Welcome to the two new managers.
-
in the biggest signing news of last night............ we have a replacement owner for DILLIGAF! that means both vacancies have been filled, so please join me in welcoming the new managers to the teams formerly known as DILLIGAF and 'A Team of My Own'! They will conduct a dispersal draft later in the week, and I will be granting them each $5 in Arbitration Coupons, and from there, i'd expect by end of week they'll be fully operational in offseason activities. thanks!
-
coupons now applied (pending JJ - needs another pick for their $1) and i have removed the owner for ATOMO. Dilligaf and ATOMO are currently without manager, but otherwise all other 10 teams are allowed to proceed in offseason trading (once they cutdown to legal). thanks
-
Hey all quick update - Going to apply arb coupons tomorrow morning, pending response from 3 teams, one of which being ATOMO, who I am about to consider in need of replacement if i don't hear back tomorrow. that'll make 2 open teams for next year. I have one interested manager in line, but will start looking for a 2nd.. because we have multiple teams being replaced, I will likely conduct a dispersal draft, and allow the two new mgrs to snake draft from both rosters. will continue to share updates
-
Hey league, today’s first day of the trading window, I owe yall a form for arbitration coupons. I’m traveling today, but will get the form setup this weekend. Reminder, order of operations is: arb coupons applied for all teams, cutdowns, then trading is open. (Teams can choose to not immediately cutdown, but must cutdown before trade negotiations). Will send a broader message with next steps since we’ll need a replacement, and I will see if I can catch ATOMO to see where they’re at for 2025. Thx
-
Appreciate the heads up, DILLIGAF. Will be a bummer losing one of our founding managers, but taking a year off makes a bunch of sense. I’ll pass along my contact to your e-mail and would love to hear from ya if you ever want back in! Thanks for 7 great seasons here!
-
As some of you noticed, I really neglected my team this year. Not limited to this league but the others I am in also. This is not fair to you and can affect the standings. I am stepping back from FBB for the next year or more. This is a great league and all of the owners are fantastic. It been a fun run.

Going to bring in a manager from another league to do arbitration for A Team Of My Own. ATOMO, reminder, if ya make it here before tonight you can still edit the allocations
-
Arbitration is due today!! Please don’t forget 🫡
-
Reminder just about 1 week til arbitration is due
-
Congrats Miami. This season has been a fun ride and the most competitive that I have been apart. Glad a finally not finish in 4th place. Look forward to doing it again with everyone next year.

Congrats again Miami! Was fun to watch the final weeks. Thanks all for another great year.
-
Congrats Miami! Thanks to all for a season that was as fun as a fifth place finish could be. 28 in-season trades! A month of the top of the standings changing almost every day! This league really delivered, again.
-
Thanks, Carp! Man, I can't believe it.. The season decided to end on a good day for me I guess, but jumping up from 3rd over the final weekend will definitely be something I'll remember. AVG, ERA, WHIP, SB.. the narrowest of margins throughout, gotta love 5x5. I really can't believe I held ya off another year, Carp, you built an incredible team. Shout out Stugotz as well for spending more days in 1st than anyone else, and deserving the title as well.. Congrats everyone on another great season!
-
Congrats to Miami!! 3 straight chips with me looking up at you from 2nd, one of these seasons I hope to get you.
-
Should be fun when we all need ratios, lots of changes.
-
This is going to be a wild finish.

Well then…………that was not expected

As if this league could get any wilder ... it looks like we probably now have a Monday doubleheader which will count, and which we can auction for on Saturday!
