**Welcome to the 2nd Edition of the MLBTR Top 50 Free Agent Contest for Ottoneu owners.**
Ottoneu creator @nivshah has been gracious enough to offer a free standard season of Ottoneu ($9.99)\* to the five (5) community members who predict the highest number of correct free agent landing spots this winter. This contest is for [@everyone](https://community.ottoneu.com/groups/everyone) so follow the link below to make your free agent predictions in the spreadsheet. The deadline for getting all predictions loaded will be **5 PM EST Sunday, November 13th**.
Record your Top 50 FA predictions here: [2016 - 2017 Top 50 MLB Free Agents Contest (with user totals) - Google Sheets](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1dvPh2cOy-dohIC93FOS7xDU0ky2phN5R4R1cdVXjeBo/edit?usp=sharing)
_\*Winners who have already paid Ottoneu fees for the 2017 season will be rewarded with the discount for the 2018 season (or those in prize leagues will receive the $9.99 as a rebate when prizes are paid out for the 2017 season). Winners will be announced on this thread in the community once all Top 50 FA’s have signed._

This contest should be over after Joe Blanton signed last week, correct? Here’s what I see:
1. arctickiwis 17
T2. twinsfanmjb 14
T2. wuboxnation 14
T4. ufo2869 13
T4. woodwork 13
T4. jfwiii 13
T4. zestychris99 13
I have renewals coming up in the next week or so and would appear to be in a four-way tie for the last spot. Are all of the players with 13 correct receiving a free team?

Congrats to @Arctic_Kiwis and everyone else who participated in this contest. I’m happy to award a season at the $9.99 tier to everyone who had 13+ correct:
@Arctic_Kiwis
@TwinsFanMJB
@Wuboxnation
@ufo2869
@Woodwork
@jfwiii
Someone get zestychris99 on the forums too to claim their prize.
Winners should DM me here with the team they want refunded for the 2017 season.
Thanks especially to @LuckyStrikes for organizing this contest every year, he’s the best.

Here I am. Sorry for being late to the party 🙂
I just created this account, so I’m trust level zero and cannot yet DM anyone. Ha!
Please apply reward to FIPpopotamus in League 100.

I think we’re still 2 short, and I am trying to do all of these at once for accounting reasons.
@Arctic_Kiwis and @ufo2869 get back to me as soon as you can!

Do we need to have already renewed for 2017 in order to get the credit? Chris and I have not renewed yet in either 100 or 107, and 107 expires tomorrow.

Renewing your teams would be a help, yes. I can’t guarantee I’ll get to this by tomorrow.
