Ready to get the league rolling? Labor peace!

[Hornsby]

Piney, you're probably going to have to make an executive decision on whether the FA keeper is to be the 10th round, as J says, or the 12th, as the post Simon copied from the old site says.

[Piney Boy]

It will be a 12th rder for FAs since that was on the old site and posted here when we jumped over.

We have 7 so far signed up. 5 more to go. I will hold off on setting a draft start once we get:

1) Keepers situtated
2) Know where the FAs windup. That means we need to know dates of everything just like the NFL.

Glad you guys found the rosters on Yahoo. They have had access to old data for years now. Just use the pull down next to the season then click your team. I have linked our league to various editions of basketball leagues run here on RJ all the way back to 2002.

Horns - Yeah I live in the Pine Barrens. I am actually just off the shooting ranges for Joint Base (McGuire, Dix, and Lakehurt). Plenty of deer, racoons, pine needles, and some quiet. Love the white deer and wild turkeys that come on my property. As for the Jersey Devil he was more down by Pomona, NJ which is where I went to college (Richard Stockton College of NJ). Rumor has it he was born on Leeds Point, Galloway Twp, NJ. Stockton was actually off of Jimmy Leeds Rd. We did many Jersey Devil walks in the Pine Barrens my freshman year. Never found anything.

We will also once again use League Safe for the pool. Was it $25 or $20 last year? I do remember it being not necessary to play.

Marriage and kids must agree with Brian. Back when he would have five posts by now.

Anyone have projections from BM available? I'd appreciate getting a copy ...

Are we slow drafting again? I might need a heads up when picks are due as i'm not in forum 7 hours a day these day.

@PB - might be good to email folks who participated, if there is a grand master email list or what not.

[pjs24]

Keepers were optional in my proposal. It was modified, but I think that stands. Note that you can keep anyone you picked up off WW, based on where he was drafted, or in round 10 if he was never drafted.

I'm not mad about the keeper rules or anything.

Yes slow draft as usual.

Are the keepers optional or does everyone have to keep 2? Do you remember?

[B-Fly]

I'm in. When do we start?

[Piney Boy]

Soon. First I need to get everyone back. Then I would like to to start after FA starts, but that might be too late. Possibly might start once every comes back.

I wrote it to be optional, though it appears to be unclear. Most teams have a late pick up they will want to keep, but the 4-8 round guys are a lot thinner. I suggest it two optional picks, cost based on round drafted:

Round 4-8 at round minus 2
Round 9-18 at round minus 4
Undrafted FA at round 12
If two players would fall in the same round, use the next earlier round.

BTW, based on experience in other leagues, trades should be after keepers are excersized.

JimBobCousy - was this his handle on the old site? I have his email, but I want to also send him an invite from here.

[B-Fly]

It looks like I don't have anybody worthy of a keep. Ah, well. I like fresh starts, anyway.

Nevermind. He just signed up. Need to get him over here.

I'm out for this year, don't really feel like putting in the work this season. If you can find someone to take my spot, I would appreciate it. I had a couple of decent keepers: Aldridge (drafted in 5th round last year) & Gortat (free agent pickup).

Thanks guys & enjoy the season.

Glad to be back in the mix after a dismal sophomore effort.
