looking to start a new ottoneu league in traditional 5x5 roto format with a slow draft. looking for active managers and a some good lads. this will be my first time doing ottoneu.
would love to get a good group of folks together in what is a competitive league for years to come. march 9 as a placeholder for the start of the slow draft but happy to adjust as needed. cheers.
Hey, I just joined!! My first time playing Ottenou too, excited to learn. Going to invite my friend to join us as well.
thats awesome!
strangely do not see your team in the league page but it says the spot was taken so should be good.
see you now! 10 more spots to go!
Any flexibility on the arbitration vote off? Don’t love that setting
Confused it says Roto but then also playoffs?
Just joined and am wondering the same thing.
yea no playoffs, traditional roto. just fixed the setting.
thanks for calling it out!
8 spots left!
changed that setting too. not sure why it wasnt on allocation, but it is now. thanks.
Good Morning,
How does the slow draft work? I want to join, but want to make sure I am available for the draft.
it will be hosted on a site called coach managers. the draft will start at a specific time and each manager will nominate players. players are nominated for long periods of time (say 12 hours) and every time there is a new lead bidder the clock resets.
the draft then takes place over days and numerous players are up for auction at once. i have found that this auction style allows for everyone to draft auction style without find a specific 3 hour window that all 12 people are available for.
here’s a fangraphs article about it: Thinking About Auctions, Fast and Slow: Logistics and Details | RotoGraphs Fantasy Baseball
1 spot left!
Any chance you can open it to 14 teams? Looking for a new roto league after years in points.
I think I just joined. My first season as well. Should be a lot of fun
full!
sorry, folks signed-up assuming a 12 team so want to keep it that way for the inaugural season.
appreciate the interest.
Had 1 manager drop out, so looking to fill that spot.
Slow draft set to begin next Monday, March 3 at 8p EST. Initial draft clock is 24 hours with an 8 hour draft reset, but will likely be decreased some once a good chunk of players have been drafted. Expecting a draft process that takes 10-14 days.
Let me know if you’re interested!
I would be interested in hopping in. I have done slow auctions in the past, so I should be comfortable there.
still have that opening?
