How should I explain this league to people I want to play with?

Welcome to Ottoneu!

I’m happy to give the quick pitch but I’d also take a look at our Happy Graduation thread. Players get a badge if they describe how they enjoyed their first year playing Ottoneu.

Now the quick pitch:

Ottoneu is a year-round fantasy baseball game that is more like MLB team-building than any other fantasy baseball game out there, with a good community of players to talk strategy with and learn from.

It combines deep rosters and a deep player universe with market-based salaries in a way that is unique to fantasy sports and more aligned with real-life MLB team-building. The fundamental components of the economy (all players must be bid in order to be signed to a team, arbitration and inflation at the end of every season) creates a dynamic unlike other fantasy baseball games. Teams have to make tough decisions about competing and rebuilding every season. Trades are more meaningful because they are evaluated over many years, not just days or weeks. And of course it is a year-round game with things to do with your team basically every month out of the year (you can figure a way to take February off, if you want).

Hope that is a good starting point.
