I’ve played in Ottoneu’s only 20-team FanGraphs points league the past 2 seasons, and it has become my favorite format. I’ve been thinking a second 20-team league would be fun, and I wanted to see if anyone else might be interested in such a league.
The roster construction would be similar to a standard league with 40 roster spots and a $400 budget. Success requires digging deeper into the player pool - with 800 players rostered vs the standard 480 players rostered in a 12-team league. Roster construction also would be the same as standard Ottoneu rosters (5 OF, 5 SP, 5 RP, etc).
Arbitration would work in a similar fashion to the standard Ottoneu rules. Each team would have $25 to allocate to the other 19 teams, meaning teams can be hit with more than the standard cap of $33 in arbitration we see in a 12-team league.
The auction for the first year and all succeeding years would be held via slow auction using Couch Managers or a similar service.
If you are interested or have any questions, please respond to this thread. If enough interest is gathered, I will ask if a second league can be created in the system
thanks
