End of the 2021 baseball season megathread

[nivshah]

I have some ideas on how to make the stat correction stuff a bit more gentle next season.

Search the forums for “prizes”

Here is the first result I found

2017 Baseball Prizes Megathread

Congrats to all of you who did well in your 2017 Ottoneu Fantasy Baseball season. I hope to have prizes paid out by early next week at the latest. I’m spinning up this thread to allow anyone to ask questions or raise concerns they may have. Prizes are paid via PayPal to the email address of the team owner. You don’t need to have a PayPal account. You can confirm where your prize money will be sent on your user settings. We cannot manually send prize money to alternate email addresses. If a pri…

It looks like players have lost eligibilities related to the 2019 season, but not the 2020 season. Isiah Kiner-Falefa is no longer catcher eligible, but he’s still third base eligible even though he only played shortstop in 2021. Tommy Edman still has shortstop and third base eligibility although he shouldn’t have qualified for those. David Fletcher still has third base eligibility although he didn’t play there in 2021.

[nivshah]

Yes that is correct. I mentioned that in this thread:

End of the 2021 baseball season megathread

I’ve removed the extra rules around not losing eligiblity due to the 2020 season. This will be reflected overnight and should result in new position eligibilities.

The 2022 eligibilities will be reflected once the calendar turns to the 2022 season, which happens on October 15th.

Sorry, I should read the rules before I post.

Very helpful. Thanks

Lots of moving parts since we are finally out of the shadow of 2020 special rules.

I think it counts as Hobby Income

[walt526]

FWIW, I report it on my tax returns. Although it’s offset by gambling losses from the state lottery, LOL. So I don’t pay taxes on it.

4x4 teams that did not meet minimum inning thresholds have had their pitching points removed.

2021 OPL Prize Tracker now live

As we enter the final weekend of the 2021 Ottoneu Prestige League, I’ve put the finishing touches on the OPL Prize Tracker. Visit your OPL dashboard and click on Prize Tracker: [image] You can see what prizes your teams have earned in the 2021 OPL, verify where the money will be sent when cash prizes are distributed, and generate coupon codes for t-shirts.

Cash prizes for both Ottoneu Fantasy Baseball and OPL will be sent out via PayPal tomorrow, unless any stat issues are brought to my attention.

LOL… same! Wreaked havoc on my spreadsheets

[jaw31601]

Any thoughts to offering Ottoneu credits in lieu of cash payoffs? I’m just going to roll it right back into Ottoneu teams anyway, and you’re getting clipped coming and going processing payments.

I think it counts as Hobby Income

I believe hobby income has to be reported anyway, but I thought this was gambling income similar to hitting the pick six at Saratoga. There is a reason why people pay the sweeper at the Spa for the losing tickets he collects.

[nivshah]

It would be a nice idea and I’ve considered it in the past but ultimately think the full flexibility of cash is the most customer-friendly approach to prizes.

[nivshah]

Despite earlier site issues, still on track for prizes today.

[nivshah]

Prizes are currently being sent out via PayPal. If you are expecting a prize from Ottoneu Fantasy Baseball or OPL you should see an email in your relevant email account shortly.

Friday, 10/8 - Cap penalties wiped, default salary increases, etc.

I was not able to kick this off early enough this morning. This process will now happen tomorrow AM.

[nivshah]

This process has been kicked off. I expect it to take a few hours. Will update when completed.

In our league, cap penalties were removed, and teams in what would be considered an illegal state in-season in the past are flagged as in an illegal state for the off-season (too many players, over cap.) I was over in salary and cut a couple players to get under, but was charged a cap penalty for the cut. Will there be another removal of cap penalties?
