Here is the final standings ranking for the finals:

1. Juiced JC 348
2. jjii66 345
3. ScumbyJr 343
4. klx22 342
5. chris_s 332
6. karphenry 328
7. l.strether 324
8. KAD1988 322
9. go4joe 318
10. dcmt 311
11. Leo Carter 301
12. rickburr 283

As per the rule that divides the divisions up evenly based on rank, here are our divisions:
East
1. Juiced JC
6. karphenry
7. l.strether
12. rickburr

Central
2. jjii66
5. chris_s
8. KAD1988
11. Leo Carter

West
3. ScumbyJr
4. klx22
9. go4joe
10. dcmt

I'll be inviting everyone one division at a time to keep the order, starting with the East, then the Central, then the West. Once you join the league DO NOT LEAVE, otherwise you will mess up the divisions. If you want to change your players/order of your draft list just set as "Un-ready", make the change, and then set as "Ready" again.

Stay tuned for the email invites and/or the private message with league details. We'll obviously hope to draft as soon as possible so please join and set your team quickly if possible.

Juiced JC

Is the plan to start on Monday regardless or will we be starting as soon as possible? That is, if we fill today we could theoretically start on Sunday (or maybe even saturday?)

Rules say we start on Tuesday, August 16.

Yes, I just set opening day to be Tuesday August 16th since that's what was set out in the rules. We can draft ASAP (maybe today?) and then just get a longer pre-season.

Change of plans in loading the league.

It appears that I have the commissioner powers to re-assign the divisions after all the teams are in but before the league draft, so I'm going to open up the joining to all 12 teams and juggle the divisions around later.

Invite Code: THYKY

My team will be in later tonight.

I think what I'll do is this - once everybody is in and everyone but myself is marked as "Ready", I will tell everyone in advance what time I will set as ready to kick off the draft. That way everyone has an opportunity to adjust their draft list in case a day goes by that might effect your list and rankings if you joined early. I don't want to give myself or anyone setting ready late an advantage. I'll communicate this through the league messaging once everyone is in.

All 12 teams are in now - please note the draft will happen shortly after 5:00 PM on Friday when I will set my team as "Ready" and opening day has been changed to Monday August 15th.

Good luck to all participants!

imo there should be a 3-5 round player draft before the autodraft in the final's league next year and beyond.

Agree. The autodraft is not set up for Daily Baseball.
