Rosters are imported! Didn't seem to be any errors, but let me know if there's anything I need to fix.
Trades and FA auctions are open. Hope everyone enjoys the season!
-
No need to apologize, it was out of your hands. Appreciate the time and effort you put into getting us through it this year!!
-
No worries, commish. You can keep the job, if you are ever in MA, I'll buy you lunch.

Sorry for the complications this year. I know the buy-in isn’t insignificant, and I respect everybody’s time, effort, and money. I’ll import rosters in the morning, and hopefully we can still have a fun season.
And standing offer, if anyone would like to take over commish duties, the job is all yours.
-
I was new here and reluctant to take over commish when the last one left, mostly because of how annoying it is to find a time for a live auction draft. But CM wasn’t perfect last year, and it was annoying in so many ways this year. Niv has created a near-perfect game, and I’ve learned I should probably just rely on his tools, so I think it’s back to native Ottoneu draft room next season.
-
Generous…this draft has been a cluster f and hasn’t been the easiest to keep up with. I’ve been extremely busy with work and such, and missed the startup after the initial collapse. Sorry, but there’s no ill intent on my part. Just trying to draft.
-
I gotta say, PW coming in and +1ing my noms after the deadline - after slow playing his own noms the entire draft while I was knocking out 3-4 at a time as soon as they became available - is pretty lame. This is exactly why I left my final noms for the minutes before the deadline - I could tell this was going to happen. We need rules next year to prevent people from sitting on their noms, it’s no different from missing a nom in a live draft.
-
Just gave you two more nominations. Make them now, please.
-
I don’t think I realized we could nominate more than 2 at a time. Sorry about that.
-
I still need a couple of players. Ran out of time with the nominations because I could only go 2 at a time and they took 8hrs each.
-
Yeah sounds great to me.. cheers everyone. Goodluck this season.
-
Just gave everyone enough nominations to fill their roster. Can we agree to end the slow auction in 24 hours? Would like to wrap things up ASAP to avoid any further incidents haha.
-
@rotten entered
-
I also had tj friedl $5 - Sal frelick $1..
-
@Keeping Entered, I remember seeing all of those completed
@Horsin' I put McMahon on your roster, thanks!
-
I also had varsho $5, Nolan Jones $3, and Verlander $2. I think that's all that's missing from mine.
-
I was the one that bought McMahon. Appreciate you guys getting this all sorted out.
-
No problem! Thanks for dealing with all this headache.
-
OMG you're the best. Thank you so much. I'm gonna enter all of these manually, they look right from my recollection.
If anyone sees any discrepancies, please let me know!

Alright here's what I've got, I hope it helps. As mentioned this is not going to be 100% because I only updated in evenings, but I believe it was fully accurate as of my last update (which I hope was the last night before the crash).
Generous Carriage: $6 Walker Buehler
Summer of George: $18 Brandon Nimmo, $2 Thairo Estrada, $2 Caleb Durbin, $1 Jonny DeLuca
-
OK awesome, thanks Generous. I think that's worth waiting for.
And yeah, I'll definitely up the max to 36, that should help ensure we're done before the Tokyo series.
-
I should have a partial record of the auctions but I may need to reconstruct a little bit - I was tracking in excel by team roster rather than by draft order, and generally updating every night, so I think I should have stuff through the last night before the server crash. Can take a look later tonight after I get kids to bed.
-
Yeah man I get it. One hour kick off sounds good. Appreciate your end of this. Hopefully CM fixed the kinks this time 🙏
-
Before there was a max of 24 auctions going at once, can you up that number at all? Then you could up the amount of nominations too.
-
Last attempt, nobody has any data on auctions that completed? I'll aim to start the draft in an hour, would prefer not to lose all the auctions that completed after Will Smith.
@rotten I know the 8 hrs is long, and most slow drafts have like 4 hr clocks. But with the slow auction, everyone is always on the clock. I for one know that there will definitely be 4 hr periods when I can't check, especially on weekends
-
whatever works for you works for me, commish.

The time would have to be sped up regardless if we start from wherever. That 8 hours is brutal. Just my opinion
-
Yup, and incredibly, none of the data between the first and second crashes was recorded. So we're back to where we were on Sunday.
I'm at a loss. Unless somebody has a record of all of the auctions that finished and the final prices between then (I don't, regrettably), we'll just have to start again with Fried being the first extended. We can let the slow auction run for another 6 days, end it, and let people finish filling rosters with normal 48 hr auctions.
-
Looks like it's back up again
-
Ugh, you gotta be kidding me.
But hey, at least my $40 Gerrit Cole is safe! /s

[quote="nivshah, post:31, topic:15240, full:true"]
We are working on setting up the new server now.
I’m not sure I have great news about the data, it looks like the data between the first crash (Sunday) and the last crash (Thursday) was lost. The server was lagging on Sunday and Mike commissioned a new server and the new server was just completely a dud.
Once the site is back up I’ll relay what I have.

Yeah, couch managers had been a bumpy ass road this time around.

Nice! Quite a saga
-
Saw this update late last night. Should be back up and running today, apparently.
https://community.ottoneu.com/t/couch-managers-down-3-2-2025/15240/27
-
ah geez.
-
Same here.. womp-womp!
-
Yes. Totally unavailable for me.
-
Anyone else unable to access the site again?
-
Gave everyone a few extra nominations to help make up some ground. Feel free to ping me if the board is slim and you want more noms.
-
Niv posted an update: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/couch-managers-down-3-2-2025/15240/19
"...he thinks it should be fully back by tomorrow night. He said you can resume drafts if you need to, though he recommends waiting until tomorrow."
I'll have things ready to go on my end, and I'll let everyone know before I push play.
-
That works for me. Unless there are any objections, we'll extend the clock on everyone after Will Smith.
Thanks for the help, everyone. I'm keeping an eye on the thread that I linked earlier, and will let everyone know before I resume the draft.
-
Will Smith was the last guy off the board according to my sheet as well
-
I believe fried was the next in line to finish the auction. I had will smith before it cut out
-
Just saw this post from Niv on the forums, I'm going to go ahead and follow his advice and wait til we get word that the site is fully functional before we start up again.
https://community.ottoneu.com/t/couch-managers-down-3-2-2025/15240/15
-
I have it paused, just trying to figure out which auctions I need to extend based on when the site went down. I'll let everyone know here when it's up and running again.
-
Looks like it's back up now
