I would also prefer a regular auction that we do live.

I much prefer a regular auction that we do live and get done over the course of a day or a couple days. It's just easier.

I’m in favor of a slow auction

Slow Auction
-
Some color on the couchmanagers experience in case we do consider it: we control the every variable but generally groups set each team to two nominations at a time (so there would be 24 players up for auction at once in this league); each MLB player has a 24 hour auction window and when a new, high bid comes in the player resets to 12 hours; the whole thing takes several days to a whole week pending the amount of players needing auctioned and the speed we prefer.
-
I prefer mid-March and fast pace.
-
I tend to agree with AZ, but more so because I've never done a slow draft/auction before. Bluegrass -- how does CouchManagers work? How frequently are players put up for auction/won? I'd be worried about managers missing out on a player they really want to bid on because they get caught up at work or doing others things for a few hours and can't participate.
-
I prefer the fast pace of the current auction setup. Only reason I would possibly be interested in this if we can not get the entire group together to do the auction

We used CouchMangers for the other two auctions (slow auctions that run over the course of a week). It's so much more comfortable to run an auction that way instead of a line one. I highly recommend considering it for this league.
-
Too early! I'll send out a survey in the next few days (yes..I know I already said that at one point) to gauge everyone's availability. I'd personally prefer a mid-march time frame, but if people would rather do it sooner I'm open to that.
-
When are we going to auction? I’ve already completed two and need a new fix ;)
-
Perfect, thank you both. I got plenty of room and cash so we're good

Cormier once the trade is accepted and as long as the trade isn’t vetoed (never happens) u are good as long as the trade doesn’t put u over the cap or total roster requirements.

I believe that's how it works. Leave the traded player on your team through the keeper cuts deadline tonight, which is at 11:59pm EST.
-
Question: Making a trade that was accepted this AM, I don't have to do anything and that player will be on my team for keeper cuts right? I can leave the player who was traded on my roster and it won't put me on the hook for them?

D'oh. Not Paxton. I don't own him. I meant Corbin. Any offer would have to have a great-to-elite bat and pitching with upside.

Thanks for the welcome everyone. There was a lot of interest in Paxton, but I'd have to be blown away.

Welcome! Let us know if you have any questions about league settings. League -- I'll send out a survey for potential auction dates sometime in the next week or so.

Hello! Looking forward to another h2h league. I'll get my bearings and pay up tonight.

I made another post to the community board, but everyone keep brainstorming for a 12th member. I still have faith we'll find someone before our auction date (TBD) and the manager will get a one-time crack at cuts.
-
So, do we have a backup plan? Me and the two others that I joined with all tried to get people, to no avail. It's a bummer

My friend is not going to join. I went to his house last night and went over the majority of this website and explained how he would have the opportunity to trade some players before the end of week, drop players and then participate in the re-draft to add up to 40 players, etc. I went through the roster and how to set daily lineups, etc. He decided it was way to complicated for him and much more complicated than other fantasy he has played before. Sorry but I tried all I could.
-
Rocks Beach - is your friend going to join? All other owners have paid for the 2020 season to this point with the exception of one, who will get it done by Friday. We will revisit prepaying for next year in April or May.
-
Have him sign up to the ottoneu site and go here: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/claimteams and scroll down to "seeking legal counsell." all the way to the right on that row there's a "claim team" link. That will give him the directions to sign up for that team and then when he does he can pay the money

Az is correct I believe one round of cuts with no penalty...

Pretty sure any team that joins after the deadline will still be allowed a one time drop with no penalties. Not 100% sure but that is what happens when a team is taken over mid season

I have zero responses from the community board. Worst case we should come up with a backup plan to vote on the 12th teams keepers as if it was your own team while we continue to look for an owner up until the auction draft.
-
Do we know anyone with interest in the last team? Getting a little worried

Slack is easy, and i'd be down. We use WhatsApp for our other league and love it, but it requires a valid phone number so I get if there's hesitation from some there.

Ideas for channels for league forum? slack?

I would love a group talk! Also I will reach out to my friend who showed an interest in joining and put a little pressure on him!
-
I sent out the abandoned team info to a fantasy message board. Hopefully that helps.
Also, does the league have interest in a group chat? It could help us to improve trade dialogue/talk about baseball stuff.

Unfortunately, he's been unresponsive so I'm going abandon his team. I just made a post on the Ottoneu community board.

Any news on the dormant team? Do we need to look for someone else?

Reminder: 1) Please re-up your team and pay by the end of the month. You can do this via your Ottoneu dashboard. 2) Keepers are due 1/31, so cut all your non-keepers before then. Any player remaining on your roster will be kept at his price.

Rule changes. Check them all out but this I think affects our league the most with roster construction

Auto-eject Lineup Option
The other planned change that will affect in-season gameplay is the option to automatically remove players from your lineup if their MLB team is playing and they are not in the starting lineup. When enabled, the player that is not starting will be locked into a bench spot on the current date about five minutes before game time, when they’d normally lock into their positional slot. They will not be moved to the bench for future dates. The goal of this change is to help

Let me clarify - you get 14 starts in championship week. However, you get 7 per week. You cannot split it 5/9 between the two weeks. You get 7 in week 1 of the championship and another 7 in week 2 of the championship.
-
Why not allow 14 starts in the two week matchups. Really a disadvantage since your hitters are not limited in the two weeks. Your doubling the scoring for hitters but keeping pitching the same

League update: I was already following up with Seeking Legal Counsell regarding his activity, so he may need to get replaced. I'll give him another day to respond, but let me know if you have anyone in mind.
League rules: just a reminder that we're reducing the max games started with SPs from 10 weekly to 7 weekly. I also updated the playoff format to align to this as well. In the two-week championship, each individual week is limited to 7 starts, not 14 for the full period.
-
Anyone want to join the 20 team league? It’s impossibly competitive but only $20.

welcome new guys

Hey guys, I notice seeking legal counsell hasn't logged on since November. That team still in?
