Just a heads up guys

We will continue with no clock through Mother's Day weekend and assigned times will be starting Monday morning

Notes on Assigned Time slots for those of you new to the league or a refresher for everyone else

Assigned times are 1 hour time slots beginning at 10am Eastern Time each day

For example:
gbrookes is in the 10am-11am time slot. Once gbrookes has made his pick (it can obviously be made prior to that if owner chooses) the next owner may pick (in this case STEVEKORTE) even if it's before Steve's time slot of 11am-12pm.

IF gbrookes (or any owner) doesn't make their pick by the end of the assigned time slot, they are skipped and the next owner may make their selection since their time slot is now up. The skipped owner may post their selection at any time to get caught up.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
The last time slot of the evening (9pm-10pm) MUST make their pick by 10pm or they can be skipped as well. This isn't like the "Clock" some of you are used to.

p.s. - If you have back to back picks, you will need to make both picks in your hour time slot

Assigned times for Monday 5/15 were posted and emailed Sunday evening around 9:30pm Eastern

Stadiums

Coach inquired about stadium changes and I had to look up what Michael had set up originally and here's how it reads:

2) Stadiums are lifetime contracts, unless, the BP effects change by +/-6 in one category or by +/-15 in all four categories combined. In keeping with the theme, we will play with NL only stadiums. Stadium drops must be made during the FA draft before season 1, of any given year. Replacement owners may choose a new stadium upon entering the league before the Annual FA draft.

3 such (owned) stadiums met those guidelines:

Miller Park (owned by Coach)
Petco Park (owned by Mike Z)
Wrigley Field (owned by me)

If either of us wishes to change stadiums (to one available) it must be announced prior to the start of the FA draft. Drafting of stadiums will be in order of those eligible and who have chosen to change in FA draft (i.e. if all 3 wish to change order would be edub, Coach and Mike Z).

Just a reminder for everyone as we move through the draft what you'll need by drafts end to load your teams roster wise according to SOM rules

At all times, you must have at least 24 players and no more than 28 players on your roster.
You must have at least 13 and no more than 17 hitters.
- At least two of those hitters must have catcher as their primary position.
You must have at least 10 and no more than 12 pitchers.
You must have at least 5 pitchers who have starting pitcher Endurance ratings (e.g. S7).
You must have at least 4 "pure" relievers (i.e. a relief rating (e.g. R2) but no starter rating).
You must have at least 1 pitcher who has a closer Endurance rating (e.g. C4).

Just a reminder guys, we can pick more than 12 guys a day...anytime the 9-10pm slot has picked or if they don't pick by 10pm, we can keep the draft moving with selections
