Karhu and 46Blitz
I am still waiting on these two to respond. We may have an opening or two this year.
SOME INFORMATION
We can discuss anything (rule, issue) that people would like to here or a new thread.
Tanking rules were implemented four years ago, and continue indefinitely.
Here are some important reminders...
The Draft will be the same as last year with 4 rounds of picks of all available rookies and veterans that are not kept (free agents). You may draft a rookie or a free agent with any pick.
Future draft picks are allowed to be traded.
Picks during the draft are allowed to be traded. For any pick that is traded but also scheduled to be made within the 24 hour review window, these trades will be approved on a best effort basis (explained in the official trade thread).
There will still be a first come, first serve based transaction period after the draft for the remaining spots at the designated time.
Any other discussion about the league in general can be done here.
SCHEDULE
Everything lines up with the NFL preseason schedule and start of the regular season as normal.
All times below are central time (Chicago). ESPN lists all the times on the ESPN site as Eastern.
Sunday, July 28th 10:00 pm CST: Keeper Deadline
This is the date currently on the ESPN site (given as Eastern Time on ESPN), so go select your 14 keepers as soon as you can. However, you can change them up until this deadline. Any teams that have not selected keepers by this point will have keepers selected by the commissioner based on player rankings.
At this point the new league year will begin. Although trades can be discussed and negotiated before this time, teams will have to wait until after the Keeper Deadline for any trades to be posted, reviewed and become official.
Sunday, August 11th 10:00 am CST: Beginning of the Rookie/FA Draft
The full pick schedule is posted in the Rookie/FA Draft thread, including the deadline times for each pick. The pick rules are posted there.
August 24th 2:00 am CST: Conclusion of the Rookie/FA Draft
August 25th 9:00 pm CST: Transactions Allowed on ESPN Site
It will be at this point that you will be allowed to pick up any remaining available players by using the ESPN site. This will be done on a first come, first serve basis. Each team can fill out their remaining roster spots and all trades will be done on the ESPN site as well.
The NFL season starts September 5th. Good Luck!
