• Don’t forget the draft is tomorrow at 6 PST

  In Ottavino Veritas on March 2, 2025 9:51 PM

• Pencilled in Monday 3/3 based on the poll responses, let me know if we need to reschedule

• Welcome Kyle W! (There is already a different Kyle) With a full league we should probably start looking at dates for the draft in early March. We’ve typically done drafts on weekday early evenings, would that work for everyone if we can find a good day?

  In Ottavino Veritas on February 6, 2025 8:15 PM

• You're an angel! Thank you!

  Open Water Skubal Divers on February 1, 2025 1:46 AM

• If you had a baby in the last 12 months I think it entitles you to a free bonus round of cuts. I think I set it up for you, Kyle, but you have to do it all at once.

  In Ottavino Veritas on February 1, 2025 1:11 AM

• Formal request to league commissioner: Can I still make my team cuts even though I've missed the deadline by an hour or so? I've got them all lined up. Life has been extra crazy with the new baby and I've enrolled back in school. Apologies for needing special treatment

  Open Water Skubal Divers on February 1, 2025 12:44 AM

• Good luck Oriole Fever! However I'm going to abandon my team, Arnie's Umlauts. Hope everyone enjoys this season.

  La Russa's Drivers Ed on January 29, 2025 10:15 AM

• Ok i'm in. First question, how do I obtain all the Orioles players?

  Oriole Fever on January 27, 2025 12:37 PM

• Please welcome our new managers Steve (Lightsabermetrics) and Ben and Colin who will be co-managing the former Give Me Zac, Brad!

  In Ottavino Veritas on January 26, 2025 5:21 PM

• Remember to cover your annual dues and make your cuts before the end of the month. Don’t end up like the Blue Jays this year

  In Ottavino Veritas on January 20, 2025 12:02 AM

• Well done CV for the win and thanks everybody for another good season.
  Unfortunately I’m going to cut back on Fantasy ball next season, so this is me saying take care and goodbye

  South Side Sufferers on October 1, 2024 4:55 PM

• Congrats to the winners this season. It's been great playing with you all, but I just took a new job and I have to take a big step back from Ottoneu. I'm going to mark my team abandoned, but hopefully someone will be able to step up and co-commish with Ottavino

  Oriole Fever on October 1, 2024 10:35 AM

• Good season all!

  Blue Suede Schus on October 1, 2024 8:09 AM

• Thanks to everyone for a wonderful season. It’s better to be lucky than good. Stay safe and be well, Chris.

  Cinéma Vérité on September 30, 2024 9:54 PM

• Congratulations to Cinema Verite and thanks to everyone except Jake for another fun and competitive season! Thrilled to have made the podium, it was a real tight race with Bulls on Paredes.
  
  Enjoy the playoffs and don’t forget about Arbitration.

  In Ottavino Veritas on September 30, 2024 9:36 PM

• Thanks to everyone who responded, Tuesday 3/19 was unanimous so we’ll go with that. Draft a streamer for the Korea series at your own risk.

  In Ottavino Veritas on February 28, 2024 1:32 PM

• 10 March is no good for me
  Otherwise I’ll work around other drafts

  South Side Sufferers on February 27, 2024 2:52 PM

• I can make nearly any weekday evening or weekend work, so long as it isn’t this week.

  Open Water Skubal Divers on February 27, 2024 10:45 AM

  Let’s try to find a date that works for everyone, I think it ended up being a Thursday last year.

  In Ottavino Veritas on February 27, 2024 1:44 AM

• I unfortunately have another draft that same day and time, but if it works for everyone else I can find a proxy for this draft or the other.

  Non-Fungible Torkelson on February 26, 2024 8:30 AM

• I have it set at Wednesday 3/13 at 5:30 PST/ 8:30 EST. If that’s a conflict for anyone, let me know and we’ll set up a poll.

  In Ottavino Veritas on February 25, 2024 10:38 PM

• Already have several drafts on 10 and 11 March.
  In the UK, so anything before 8pm EDT is better but I’ll make it work otherwise

  South Side Sufferers on February 23, 2024 6:52 PM

• March 1,11,16 and 17 are the dates that I can't draft on. Any other times are good for me.

  Hatchet, By Gary Paulsen on February 23, 2024 3:42 PM

• Weeknights, weekend afternoons OK with me.

  La Russa's Drivers Ed on February 23, 2024 12:58 PM

• Anyone have thoughts about draft date/time? Weeknights are generally best for me but can be flexible

  Non-Fungible Torkelson on February 23, 2024 11:28 AM

• Welcome to the league!

  Blue Suede Schus on February 17, 2024 8:24 PM

• Welcome Umbachs 😃

  South Side Sufferers on February 15, 2024 1:35 PM

• Just claimed Tastes Good With White Wine. Glad to be in this league, which seems active, judging by the number of recent off-season emails. I'll be changing the team name and making my round of cuts soon. This looks like a decent team, I'll try not to mess it up.

  La Russa's Drivers Ed on February 15, 2024 12:09 PM

• Welcome to the new owner of Lightsabermetrics. You have one round of free cuts. If you have any questions, please ask. In other news, I'll take on being co-commissioner for the moment, but I don't deal with the sidepot. We just need to get a draft happening.

  Cinéma Vérité on February 15, 2024 12:06 PM

• Hey all, sorry for the delay. A quick update, I'm still planning on participating this year but I'm flying home at the end of this week for an indefinite amount of time to help my mom through her chemo treatment. My schedule is all over the place now, so I think in order to properly manage this league we'll need to recruit another co-commish to help with the draft and such. Is there anyone (maybe ideally 2 people) who have the time to co-commish?

  Oriole Fever on February 7, 2024 2:48 PM

• Just a friendly reminder to renew your teams and get your cuts in tonight by 11:59PM ET

  Oriole Fever on January 31, 2024 1:45 PM

• Fair enough. Thanks for the answer.

  Cinéma Vérité on January 17, 2024 4:24 PM

• No that’s the beauty of the side pot; it’s completely voluntary and will be prized will be paid out according to the final standings of those who participate.

  Oriole Fever on January 17, 2024 4:22 PM

• Is the side pot mandatory for playing in the league?

  Cinéma Vérité on January 17, 2024 3:16 PM

• We already had one league member renew, so I can’t convert this league into a prize league for this season. That actually simplifies things a bit b/c I can setup a side pot for anyone who wants to play for $$$. I’ll get that setup in LeagueSafe and send out an invite along with some general rules I’ve seen work in other leagues that we can modify to our liking.

  Oriole Fever on January 17, 2024 3:13 PM

• If you're waiting on me to say yes to the $50 level for the league, don't wait any longer. There's only two weeks to renew, so this has to be resolved quickly. The majority of the league wants to go to the $50 level. That's the decision.

  Cinéma Vérité on January 17, 2024 3:08 PM

• Welcome!

  Blue Suede Schus on January 15, 2024 7:13 PM

• Thanks for the welcome! I’m in for a prize league.

  Open Water Skubal Divers on January 15, 2024 3:43 PM

• Welcome to the new owner of the Oakland B’s. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them.

  Cinéma Vérité on January 13, 2024 11:47 PM

• Secondly, wrt transitioning to a prize league, if you check the message board from last year we had discussed it then but b/c people had already paid dues we weren't able to make the transition. So I was hoping to get that done this year before people pay dues. It seems like those in favor of a prize league want a $50 league, and there are a few folks who are hesitant. If you are hesitant and money is an issue, DM me and I'm sure we can figure something out.

  Oriole Fever on January 12, 2024 9:48 AM

• Hey all, sorry I've been a bit absent in the commish'ing role here. A couple things, we had a team abandon and then be claimed, only to have that new owner ask to abandon pretty quickly. Not sure what happened there, but I just reversed the only move that owner made. So as of right now, we have The Oakland B's available on the team claim page.

  Oriole Fever on January 12, 2024 9:46 AM

• Welcome to the new owner of the Oakland B's. If you have any questions, feel free to ask them.

  Cinéma Vérité on January 11, 2024 1:45 PM

• Reminder that arbitration ends tomorrow (11/14). If you cannot get arb done, please LMK ASAP.

  Oriole Fever on November 13, 2023 11:06 AM

• I’m open to a prize league - count me in for next year either way.

  Blue Suede Schus on October 6, 2023 2:47 PM

• I will stay in the league if is 50 dollars. I do understand people not wanting a money league. Thanks

  Hatchet, By Gary Paulsen on October 5, 2023 1:36 PM

• Fun year and congrats to Musial Suspects. I’m okay with a little money on it next year, but I’d definitely prefer $50 or less.

  In Ottavino Veritas on October 3, 2023 11:25 AM

• Well done to Musial for the win
  If the majority want to go for a prize league, fair enough - put it to a vote but I’d only go for a low $25/30 entry, as I’m already in too many leagues

  South Side Sufferers on October 2, 2023 3:09 PM

• Who decided that we should move to a prize league? I like Ottoneu the game, but I do not like playing for money. If we are making this major change, there should be consultation with the league.

  Cinéma Vérité on October 2, 2023 11:23 AM

• Finally, this upcoming season should be our first prize league season. Our options will be 1) $100 2) $75 or 3) $50. Please respond with which option(s) you'd prefer. Thanks!
