You can change your lineup every day but it doesn't mean you always have a full lineup unless you're one of those ultra effort guys that switch in and out players from their roster every day to make sure they're full. I put some light restrictions in this year to hopefully even the playing field a little. Namely:

Max Acquisitions for Entire Season: 50
Max Trades for Entire Season: 15
Max Acquisitions per Week: 8

Nipsey Hustle's not gonna like that (he had 182 last year).

Well, maybe somebody else will have a chance (not likely). Just think of it like a salary cap. If nothing else, it will add some new strategy to the game. I know Big D is always up for a challenge.

Thanks, that's what I was wondering.

Okay just one more Acquisitions are just signings of free agents or also players received in trades? If I trade 1 player for 2 others does that take 2 of my acquisitions and 1 of my trades?

I didn't have to do anything. It just showed that I was in... which in my case was good, I guess. I don't know if everyone else had the same situation.

Sorry I'm responding a little slowly, I'm actually traveling in the US on vacation at the moment, though I go back to China in a couple of hours.

I'll make whatever time work. The current schedule time of 4:30 pm PDT on Sunday is Monday morning 7:30 am my time, which is ok, as that happens before work. If we could just bump that up another 30 min so I could complete the tail end of my draft before morning meetings begin, that'd be even more awesome... But overall any time that falls in my weekend time should be fine too, I'm committed enough to this league to get up in the middle of the night if that's what it takes. At least my wife is reasonably supportive of this one vice I have...

Acquisitions refers to picking up free agents, not trades, I believe. So any trade does not figure into this, but if you drop and pick up a new player, or claim one off waivers, that counts against your acquisitions total.

Sorry I rushed into replying before I read through all the messages. I see that the draft time is 3:30 PDT on the 23rd now, which works fine for me. Thanks for managing all this Bone!

Does everyone who's registered know that they're in the league? I saw it re-registered people automatically.

That's what I was trying to ask above. Yahoo may have made a really bad assumption by making that the default.

Doesn't seem like a lot of people are in the draft room.

I think all but four made the draft.

Thanks for setting it up again Bone. I'll see you in week 1!

No problem! Good luck!

Is everyone actually managing their team though? I mean if we have half zombies, that's a bit boring, no?

I had to miss the first 6 rounds. Yeah, it does take some of the fun out of it when you don't make those decisions yourself. But, don't worry, pickle. Trade requests will be coming in very soon.

Redraft?

How many haven't set lineups for tonight and tomorrow?

From what I can tell:

Huskies
SplitT
JamesAmIWorth
Mexico Aztecas
Rattlers
Project Mayhem?

If by mid week it looks like those teams aren't going to be active, we may need to look at trying for a redraft on the weekend and start the season in week 2. Hopefully it doesn't come to that

I'm Mayhem. My lineups will be set.

I'm active
