I think the disconnect here is our individual interpretation of OTC. So here is mine (which may be incorrect): Exactly what is says: "off the chain". No planning, just get together at a moment's notice and may the best one win. No special attention to weight, "about" the same will do.
Do it at a moment's notice= OTC. Set a date= "official" or recognized as "legit" by most.

Seriously, it's pretty much in every book I ever read.

Set weight and date is not OTC to me. See? I even made it rhyme.
I'd call that a roll
