[b:7c4b498837]Timetable for upcoming events[/b:7c4b498837]
Now that the season is ending and the playoffs get underway, I'll lay out the timetable for upcoming events:
1) Divisional assignments for season 1 of the 2008 year, and draft order of the spring free agent draft will be laid out this weekend. Cumulative records of all seasons played determine each year's initial season's divisional assignment and free agent draft order. Any ties will be broken by head to head records (because there is no difference now between the yearly and cumulative head to head records, any tie not broken by head to head records will then go to a random number generator - with the lowest number getting the higher draft pick. I will take care of this, except if I am involved in a tie that can't be broken by head to head matchup. In this case, Qksilver will oversee the number generation). If anyone has objections to this speak up now.
2) Hot Stove time - from now until early 2008 all managers are encouraged to discuss trades - player and stadium. All trades are subject to roster rules and must be posted on this thread.
3) Owners meetings - The month of December will be used to discuss any rule changes. All rule changes must pass by super majority. Possible rule changes include a) stadium drafts; b) expansion (now that it will be possible to create leagues larger than 12 players - scheduled to take place in 2008); etc.
[b:7c4b498837]We will also vote on whether to play 2 or 3 seasons in 2008[/b:7c4b498837]. All owners must be in favor of playing 3 seasons per year for it to occur.
4) Player drops/Prospect promotions - All player drops and prospect promotions must be complete by no later than 1 week after the 2008 SOM cards are released. Bernie mentioned that this may occur earlier than in previous years.
5) Annual spring free agent draft - the annual spring free agent draft is scheduled to begin immediately after all drops/promotions have been finalized. The draft should begin no later than 2 weeks after the 2008 cards are released. All managers must drop a minimum of 10, and no more than 15 players. We will do the draft on the board thread.
