With five of the nine votes placed, "get rid of the position limits" won the first poll. I will adjust the league rules. The next poll will go up in a few days.
Please remember that keepers need to be picked by July 19th. You can keep 25 players overall but now you don't need to worry about how many of each position you are keeping.
I'm looking to move up if anyone is looking to move down.

Sorry, this weekend was a little crazy as I was moving and attended a funeral.
Please see the message above where I talked about that. I also sent an email the same day asking everyone to resubmit. We actually got more votes after than we had before but either way the results were the same.
This reminds me that I need to post the next poll. It will be about whether we allow trades in the offseason (between the championship and the draft) and during the draft.
So that I don't miss any possible options, do these look good?
1. Allow trades during the off season and the draft. (It will have to be facilitated by the league manager when ESPN has trades turned off.)
2. Allow trades during the off season but not the draft, from the opening pick until it is finalized on the website.
3. Allow trades during the draft and regular season but not the off season.
4. Allow trades only during the regular season, from the close of the draft until the trade deadline towards the end of the season, (what is setup on ESPN's site.)
I will give everyone a couple days to ponder those options and then post the poll. Let me know if you have suggestions.
The second poll is up. Please place your vote by 7/12.
The results of the second poll are in and trades will be allowed during the offseason and draft in addition to the regular season. If you want to do a trade this offseason, both managers must send me a message to confirm and I will make the edits to your teams.
I will wait to put up the next poll until after July 19th so that everyone can focus on submitting their keepers by then. Please make sure to submit your keepers by using the link on your team page.
We are less than a week away from the start of the slow draft! I will put up the thread for the draft this weekend.
I am also going to put up the next poll today. It is a simple one. Do we want to keep using the yardage bonuses or remove them? As a reminder, there is currently a 5-point bonus for 100-yard rushing or receiving game or 300-yard passing game. Please vote within the next two weeks.
while a 50/50 yes or no option might be better at determining a majority, I think it would be better to allow an option for KEEPING yardage bonuses but knocking them down a few points (to 3 or maybe 2 pts bonus). That way the could still be included but wouldnt skew the score as much.

Our three-round, rookie/free agent draft starts tomorrow, August 1st.

Use the message thread that I just created on the ESPN league page 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 that 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.

Three RBs to start in what is supposed to be a good WR class. Shows how desperate we all are for RBs.
Yeap. I was tempted to go WR but I'm not in love with my RB core.

The third poll has closed. The vote was 7 to 2 to keep yardage bonuses.
Several people have suggested that we might lower the yardage bonus points, so I am going to open a fourth poll for that today. Please vote by 8/17/22.
Are we going to vote on PPR?

I wasn't planning one because I don't remember it being brought up very much. That is a vote that I would have preferred to have before the draft because it could really alter who you pick. There is also at least one other poll I want to have. Maybe we should save that one for next off season?
Edit: I see that you mentioned that awhile back. Sorry I forgot. We will see if we get to it.
