USKL 2 Chat/Trades

Is the reason for dropping to 25 related to the fact that there are no prospects?

As far as those returning, I would send an e-mail to AFD asking if he is coming back. He posted this in the HCKL thread.

Sorry guys but I just dont have the time or passion for strat as much as I had before. I'm probably only going to play one keeper league. I tend to like the ones with no prospect drafts so this one is out. I hope you all can understand it isn't you guys-you are all a ton of fun to play with...just lost me free time. AFD

It sounds like this would be a league he would stick with.

Hey all - just bumping again for the first post of the new year.

Congrats go out to Qksilver for winning his first USKL II title over MFL. Nice job Dave!

I am also looking to stir up some conversation about the roster rules. The rules state that cuts will be made in February, and the FA draft will be conducted in March. They also stipulate this:

"3. The annual spring Free Agent draft is 15 rounds and is normally done on the live draft website. All managers need to drop enough players so that their pre-draft roster is 25."

I wasn't around for the beginning of this league, so I'm not sure why the rosters were required to cut to 25, but I personally am not in favor of it. I would prefer giving owners the option of keeping up to 30 players, which would also make the draft more manageable. So, my proposal would state the the annual FA draft would be from 10 - 15 rounds and managers would need to drop enough players so that their pre-draft roster is anywhere from 25 - 30. I am going to post the draft order below. Please reply as to whether you are in favor of this proposal. A yes vote would be in favor the roster rules amendment.

1. TimK
2. Ninersphan - NO to rules, yes I'll be back
3. Cubit
4. Palmtana
5. Smitty
6. Jack
7. Nythawk
8. theChamp87
9. BlueIguana
10. AFDickie
11. MFL536
12. Qksilver

Of course, I am assuming you are all returning, so please let me know if that is not the case.

Smitty,


Smitty, the rules for this league were actually created to make things easier, beleive it or not. The reason for 15, was to ensure a lot of turnover. with no prospects to protect, KD wanted to ensore that we would have tough choices with our cuts. You'lll alos notice this is a cardred player only draft, which could therefore be held on the diamond dope draft site. I beleive you can exclude the protected players which prevents against drafting guys alreay on rosters.

It's one of the things that makes this league a little different.

If that's the rationale, I'm fine with it and I kind of suspected as much. I was hoping (counting on) one of you vets enlightening me. I was not aware of the draft site and am not really familiar with it. Is it still operational? We didn't use it last year, and no one mentioned it.

Diamond dope, I beleive so, I haven't used it myself in a few years. I think we originally did this on penngray's old draft site, not sure we ever migrated to diamond dope. I have no problem drafting on the boards, just mentioned it to give the history.

I'll be back for the draft.
