Hi GMs,
The mod team discussed an early start to the FA draft and we decided to begin on Sep 1.
Between Sep 1st and the 16th the draft will be SLOW GMs will be on a 24 hr timer per pick plus the timer will stop between midnight Eastern and 10am Eastern (10pm Mountain-8am Mountain). This will give everyone ample time to pick no matter their schedule. You can also make use of the queue. GMs will get an alert from Fantrax when you are on deck and when you are up.
Picks cannot be traded while the draft is on. We will be allowing player for player trades while the draft is slow.
We are doing this as a service to the GMs as we understand the timeslots were potentially causing issues to some GMs. For the impatient GMs this means the draft starts earlier.
As we approach the original draft dates the hope is we are moving so well we don't need to use set times going forward but we will revisit and let GMs know.

I’m a lot happier about the early start, even though I don’t pic till round 3. But, the extra time is also good in such a big draft.

I'll send a list to someone if I know I'll miss my pick

You can also queue it up on Fantrax. Their system is pretty robust. You get to rank positions too.

Time for some drafting tomorrow!
Those that have a first round pick, try to at least check around here every once in a while. If we completed the first round tomorrow that would be stellar. No pressure though.

I'm travelling tomorrow. I'll have a queue set up, but I do always prefer to make the picks.

I don’t pick till round 4. But I’ll be watching and swearing as all my favourites get picked before then, lol

Please do not drop players from your roster prior to the draft. Double checking, but I believe that is against the rules.
Next chance to drop players is AFTER the draft. Just getting confirmation.

No. You can drop them before the draft. But you can’t during the draft.
