Apologies if you've posted this somewhere already, franky - how are the divisions going to be determined for this league?

In the first league, the divisions will be random.

The playoff rules in a 24 team league are as follows:

For 24-team leagues: At the end of the 162-game regular season, 8 teams advance to the Playoffs, which consists of 3 rounds - a Quarter-Finals (best of 5 games), a Semi-Finals (best of 7 games), and a Finals (best of 7 games). The 8 teams to advance are the winners of the 4 Divisions, plus 4 Wild Card teams. The Wild Card teams are the 4 best records among teams that did not win their division.

For subsequent years 2-5, the teams are ranked based on the prior year's performance. First is the finals winner, then runner-up, then the other semi-finalists. All the remaining teams will ranked by W-L record with ties resolved by head-to-head record and then run differential. Each team must announce their 3 keepers. Then we will have a one round draft for one more player for each team - the order of the one round draft is the reverse of the ranking. Divisions will be filled based on the ranking so the top six teams will be in the same division, etc.

Anything we can do to get cslaw”s attention. Anyone in a league with him?

I’m in a league with him and sent him a message earlier today. It’s still unread.

Based on the current pace we should be able to finish late November early December. Gives me plenty of time to load my team

This league took so long to fill (as expected) that I imagine some people don't realise the draft is now running. I don't think most people check this board that often unless they have a reason to. My hope is once people tune in and realise the draft is going that it will start to move at a reasonable pace... or, like you said, it will drag out until November.

Has anyone reached out to BigD? I think I'm in a league with him and can send a message.

I'm picking 20th, if anyone picking earlier than me wants to send me their pick, then I can pick for you by proxy if you don't want to check the board so often.
