Welcome aboard, ajDUB.

[RUBE]

In the first poll of this season, it was voted that we switch to 1/2 PPR.

I will put up the second poll soon about whether we want to switch immediately or give it a year so that we have two drafts instead of just one to draft accordingly.

[RUBE]

I put up the second poll. Please vote before 7/13/23.

[RUBE]

Switching to 1/2 PPR this year won by a landslide, so I set that scoring up. We will wait a week or so before the next poll so everyone can focus on submitting their keepers by July 19th.

Please remember that the way to submit your keepers is to follow these steps:

1. Go to the league homepage
2. Click on the My Team tab
3. Click on "Keepers" which should be just under your team name
4. Check off the 25 players that you want to keep for this year
5. Click the "submit keepers" button

[RUBE]

Time is running out on picking your keepers.

[fernandito]

Thanks for the reminder Commish. I submitted mine yesterday.

[DoctorZaius]

I didn't keep 25, but my understanding is that is fine.

[RUBE]

I can make that work. It is the guys that haven't submitted theirs at all that I am concerned with.

[ajw2910]

I trust mine are showing? Don’t want you waiting on the new guy…….

[RUBE]

Yours are submitted. It is one of our original members that we are waiting on now.

[Lookwhoitis]

Yours are submitted. It is one of our original members that we are waiting on now.

I notified Garrell through FB Pm he needed to put in his keepers. I think he was having problems finding where to do it in the interface

[fernandito]

Sooooooooo we all squared away with the Keepers?

[RUBE]

The last keepers were submitted. You should be able to see the final "free agent" list by tomorrow.

[RUBE]

The three-round, slow draft will start on August 1st. That is less than a week away!

Please be prepared. Let's try to avoid anyone going over the allotted 24 hours per pick this year.

I will create the draft thread on the league page in the coming days. In the meantime, if there are any rule changes that you would like to see, please let me know so that we can vote on them.

The one poll I have left to put up is concerning whether the third-place game counts in figuring the draft order for the following year. Since that only effects next year's draft order, it can be a later poll if anyone has something they want voted on that will affect this season.

[ajw2910]

Not sure what’s allowed and what’s not, so let me know if this is outside the established rules. I’m looking to trade my first round #6 pick for a starting running back. Let me know if there is any interest. My team was on life support before and with the ongoing RB issues, I’m in need of any help I can get!

[RUBE]

We allow trades before and during the draft, but ESPN's site does not facilitate them until after the draft is complete. So if you find a trade partner, you both need to send me a message or email confirming the details of the trade. Then I can swap the players for you. Also, it will not let me put more than 25 players on your team before the draft (I can't trade into an IR spot) so you just need to make sure that the trade does not put you over the limit or you need to select a player to drop.

[ajw2910]

Understood, thanks for the clarification!

[RUBE]

Our three-round, rookie/free agent draft starts August 1st. It is an offline, slow draft so each member will have 24 hours from the time the last person picked to make their selection. Use the ESPN message board thread to submit your draft picks. Please list their name, position, and team. Once the draft starts, I will post update messages periodically.

Please make sure to check the thread at least once a day to prevent missing your pick. If someone misses their window, the next person can jump them. Let's avoid that.

Looking forward to it!

[ajw2910]

I see that people are replying to the “2023 season” thread on the ESPN message board, but I can’t see the responses. Is there a reason for that?

[fernandito]

I just tried it a few minutes ago boss and it worked for me... can you give it another go?

Try clicking on thread title name from the home page.

[ajw2910]

Still not working, using the app on my phone. Last message I see in that thread is Jeremy saying the draft will start on the 1st. It’s dated 7/25.
I don’t yet see any replies in the draft thread.

[RUBE]

It is best to use the website through a browser instead of the app.

I have sent a reminder to Kyle (SkippyD023) to make his pick.

[ajw2910]

I try to open through a browser and it just opens my app….going in circles here…

I’ll get on my computer in the morning and hopefully be able to see it from there.
