The 2024 edition of the [Ottoneu Prestige League](https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/opl/) will launch on March 1, 2024. For those of you not familiar, with OPL, it is a 240-team best-ball tournament that uses a modified version of your existing qualified Ottoneu Baseball roster. There are [unique prizes](https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/opl/rules) and it adds an entire layer of strategy and intrigue to the existing Ottoneu experience.
With the keeper deadline looming and March 1 not that far away, here are some changes that will be made starting in OPL4.
1. In the past, only the top 32 teams that made the elimination round qualified for the unique OPL t-shirt. Starting this year, every team that signs up for OPL will have access to buy the OPL t-shirt for $25, with a coupon that reduces the price of the t-shirt by $5 for each round your team advances. The top 32 teams will all receive a coupon for a free t-shirt.
2. In the past, the 3rd round was the longest round, starting on June 1 and ending at the All-Star break. This year, the first round will be the longest, with a brand new roster update 4 weeks in to the season. The calendar for the OPL season, which starts on March 28 (sorry, Korea series) will be as follows:
- March 28: Start of first round
- April 25: Roster update (no teams eliminated)
- May 16: Start of second round (70 teams eliminated) and roster update
- June 13: Start of third round (70 teams eliminated) and roster update
- July 15: Start of elimination round (68 teams eliminated) and roster update
The elimination round will play the same, with no more roster updates after July 15.
The rules page will be updated to reflect this new schedule and prize structure in the coming days.
* * *
This should make OPL more welcoming to players who haven’t tried it out before. You are in OPL for at least 7 weeks with an opportunity to adjust your roster midway through the first round. On top of that, you’re guaranteed a [uniquely](https://community.ottoneu.com/t/2022-opl-t-shirt/12196) [designed](https://community.ottoneu.com/t/congrats-to-the-winner-of-the-2023-opl/13388) t-shirt.
I think OPL is a great part of the Ottoneu experience, and I hope more of you are able to give it a try this year. There are only 240 spots available and sign ups start on March 1. Let me know if you have any questions, and I’ll update this thread as necessary.
Thanks for supporting Ottoneu!

We already have 8 teams entered. I’m looking into an issue related to paying for a second team after you’ve already entered a first one.

Hey Niv, just reading about the OPL and wanted to know more about it. When I click on the link my team/league pop up but indicates that my team is not qualified. Is the OPL something I should be looking into as a first time player in Ottoneu? Thanks

New leagues aren’t qualified (formed after the start of the 2023 season), and you must finish in the top 6 of a 12-team league to qualify.
Here is the introduction post/thread:

> [ottoneu-logos\_opl-full-color] Today Ottoneu is announcing its third game, [the Ottoneu Prestige League](https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/opl/). OPL is a contest in which the best teams across all Ottoneu Fantasy Baseball leagues will finally get to compete against each other. OPL is a season-long best-ball tournament of 120 of the best teams in Ottoneu Fantasy Baseball. Ottoneu Prestige League is a game that is played on top of Ottoneu Fantasy Baseball. If you enter, your team is shared between both games. All roster management and …

If you are interested in playing OPL in 2025, you will need to figure out a path to qualification in 2024. Even if you aren’t interested in OPL, it may affect transactions in your league by teams that are interested in being OPL in the future or are in the 2024 OPL. I definitely recommend learning about it, but I am of course deeply biased in thinking it is awesome.

Thanks - sounds awesome and I guess I will need to figure out a path to qualify…

I’m sure this exists in a Paydala thread somewhere but I couldn’t find it. I have two teams eligible for OPL. Can I process them with one single transaction?

It is one payment transaction per team or entry for Ottoneu across the board.

There are 98 spots remaining in the 2024 OPL. We are 8 entries away from being 100% officially on for the 2024 season! There are a lot of drafts this weekend and these spots are going to get snagged as drafts end, so make sure to get your entry in.

Does this mean you must sign up by 3/27 or can you sign up on 3/28 before first game begins? Very much on the fence on one of my teams. Thanks, Niv!
