Now, let's talk auction draft...!
I've created a Doodle (poll) with some dates and times to see which days work best for everyone for the draft. I want everyone to be available but recognize the difficulty that can bring.
Keep in mind the season kicks off early with the 2 games being played overseas and if we draft after those games, anyone with players from those teams will NOT receive any points from those games.
Please vote for when you are available, not just the day(s

Welcome to the league. Coming in hot with the drops.
-
Welcome to "theothermikep" who is taking over the Semore Jazzholes team...
-
Final Hour...Good luck everyone...
After the deadline, unpaid/abandoned teams will move to the abandoned teams/claim teams page shortly for someone else to pick up.
-
Correct, Brooklyn!
With less than two hours left to go, it (a) looks like we'll need to replace a few people and (b) unless some teams are waiting until the very last minute, we'll have a few with illegal rosters shortly....still time though...
-
Remember, for folks like me on the West Coast, deadline is 9 pm…
-
I do NOT envy some of the decisions a few have to make to get back down to 40 players and/or get back under the salary cap...
-
Less than 2 hours now...
Decisions, decisions...
-
I think I speak for the rest of us when I say, yes, please do that. 🤣
-
im going to take the Padres approach this year and go into the season with multiple positions with no players
-
About 5 hours and counting fellas….!!!!
Anyone got a last minute deal left to make…?
Still need a couple of payments…
Let’s gooooooooooo
-
Sounds good! Grace keep chugging away! And Crow Force One you still got $2 to drop.
-
Less than 12 hours to goooo!
Need that $$$, and make those cuts…
After the deadline I’ll work on setting up an auction day/time….
-
WELCOME TO DEADLINE DAY!
-
For those that may have the same question, if you are using the Roster Organizer, yes there is a section for dropping players, but that’s just a planning tool. You will need to manually drop the players. They will not automatically drop at the deadline if you have them in a drop spot.

Nothing happens to those teams. Anyone a team does not cut is kept, so they will keep their rosters entirely. Commissioners can use penalty-free cuts as a tool to help new managers get rid of players after the keeper deadline, so the only real loss is those teams won’t be able to trade today / tomorrow.
About 10 days after the keeper deadline every single team that is not renewed for the upcoming se
-
For starters, I’m hoping it doesn’t come to having to worry about that.
With that being said, I believe with the commissioner tools available on the site that I could allow for a new owner to get a round of penalty free drops.
-
How does that even work with new managers coming in taking over teams. Obviously they may want to drop some players and all that but since its past the 1/31 deadline im guessing they're SOL on free player drops?
-
Another reminder to the last few teams about paying for the 2024 season…there’s a little less than 30 hours left to do so. 11:59 pm tomorrow night. If you don’t want to continue, it’s cool, just let me know.
For all, the same 29+ hour deadline applies to getting your roster cuts and trades completed to clear the salary cap room you think you need for the draft.
Any questions, please fire away and I’ll answer them…

Daily reminder to pay for the 2024 season if you haven't already...if not paid by 11:59pm on January 31st, the team will be considered abandoned and the process of finding a replacement manager will begin.
-
Hey, look! Another reminder to (a) pay for the 2024 season before Wednesday (b) make any trades that you need to (c) make any drops that you need to...because 11:59 pm on the 31st is when whoever is on your roster is who you go into the draft with.
You must be back under the salary cap and have at least $1 for each open roster spot. The more cap space you have, the more you can bid on available players.
Yes, if you drop someone, you can try to get them back in the dra

In my other league on Ottoneu, the drops and trades have been flying this week in preparation for next week’s deadline. Some teams have even done what I can only assume is their full set of drops because they only have about half a roster left. 🤣
-
Honestly, never seen it happen in a league so I couldn’t answer with certainty but I think it would be similar to other situations, where the commissioner tools would allow me to make drops but I don’t want to go that route barring an absolute extreme circumstance (and I can’t even think of an example). I’d be more prone to letting it stay locked until post draft, assuming that’s what occurred, since this deadline is consistent year to year and has been published for quite some time.
-
So any teams that do not get under the 400 threshold will just basically be locked until after the draft?

And for the couple that are still out there, pay for the 2024 season by the same time on the 31st.
Always here to answer questions…and despite the saying being a cliché, there’s not a stupid question so please don’t be afraid to ask anything.
-
To be more clear, you have to (a) be back under the salary cap of $400 and (b) for any open roster spot, you have to have at least $1 available to fill the spot. Presumably more for waivers after the draft.
Whoever is on your roster after the 31st, that’s it until the draft. So if you need to update your trade block for who you are looking to move and also positions/players you are looking to acquire, NOW is the time. Time to make deals if/when you can. Time to drop by 11:59pm on the 31st
-
Rosters lock after the 31st until the draft. No dropping after the 31st. All pre-draft roster decisions must be made by the 31st.
-
*drop
-
Can you dro players post 1/31? If so, I would assume that you would only get half their value back, like the regular season, right?
-
What happens to the players that are dropped post 1/31? Are they still eligible to be included in the draft or would be free agents that we’d have to bid on once free agency opens back up?

As we roll into Wednesday, we have one week left before the keeper deadline. If you haven’t already, please make sure you pay for the 2024 season before the deadline. Also, make sure you have made any and all pre-draft roster moves by the deadline. This includes both trades and drops. You must be under the salary cap AND have at least $1 for each open roster spot. So fire off some offers, make some deals, make some penalty free cuts, and prepare to draft soon…✌🏼
-
Just a regularly scheduled reminder that the Jan 31 deadline is approaching to both pay for the upcoming season and to make any penalty free cuts and/or trades before the draft.
So there’s just a couple of weeks left to see what you can do to improve your roster, get at/under the 40 man roster limit, and make sure you are back under the salary cap limit.
After the deadline, I’ll get the draft scheduled for March and that’ll be the next time roster moves can be made. <
-
Speaking of trades, if you're looking to deal before the deadline, now is a good time to update your trade block with your players that you'd be willing to trade and also update the wanted section with positions/categories/specific players you are looking for...it can make deals more probable and/or easier.
-
I just did a quick check-in and see that most of the league has paid to re-up for 2024, thank you! I'm looking forward to seeing the flurry of trades as we move towards the January 31st deadline...good luck everyone!
-
As we close out ‘23, it’s another opportunity to express my thanks to everyone for this past season. I think we had a great season and a good group here.
With the calendar flipping to ‘24, it’s another chance for me to remind everyone you have until Jan 31st to pay for the upcoming season and also to make any trades as well as penalty free cuts. Anyone you cut, you can try to win back cheaper in the auction draft before the season starts.
Thanks again, Happy New Year…

I vetoed. Saw the message you sent him. Been there, done that.
-
Hi all. I accidentally hit the accept button on that trade. I don't want to do it. Ok to cancel?
-
Good to see the movement continue…we’ve had a few trades already. As a reminder, the deadline to pay for next season AND make any penalty free cuts or trades is January 31st. A few of you have already reupped, thank you.
As we continue through the holiday season, feel free to check your inboxes and trade boxes…make your cuts, make your deals. Can’t wait for the 2024 season!
-
Fire sale!
-
Yes. During this period you can drop anyone and they go into the auction for anyone to bid on. So if there’s a player like but not at their current price, you can try to get them back in the annual auction draft.
-
Yea i am pretty sure he just goes back into the player pool and he can be bid on by anyone during the draft. Someone correct me if i am wrong.
