Free Agent Time


So it's pick'n time soon. Last year's Email method seemed to work well and I am willing to administer the picks but likely should have a CC'ed dude to ensure its legit. The other option is for one of the CareGary members to organize and event, and those that can't make it can fwd picks along.

I suggest November 15th OR 16th for teams to submit picks with Deadline at 9PM Cow-town time.

Requirements: IFFY may need to work his magic on a new crapology spreadsheet for this season. If unwilling i can give that a shot too....

The rules;
Free Agency Rules
There will be two (2) free agent drafts this year. The approximate dates will be November 17
and January 26.
Free agent draft order will be based upon the current standings as at the morning of the free
agent draft. Last place will have the opportunity to pick first. Ties in picking order will be
settled by coin-flip.
In turn, each GM will have the option to:
o Drop any number of players and pick up one (1) player.
o Pick-up one (1) player without dropping another player.
o Do nothing.
A drop will be treated as a buy-out in the Salary Cap Rules section. The fee will be $5 for
each buyout.
If a player is bought-out during the free-agent draft, there is no additional fee to pick-up a free
agent. If no players are bought-out, the free-agent pick-up will cost $5.
A GM who cannot field a proper team due to draft day errors made by the GM, will be forced
to field a short-handed team. The team will remain short-handed until such time that the GM
can make a trade to rectify the problem or until a regularly scheduled free-agent draft.

Thanks little fella. I've been thinking this exact thing. I'll be putting together the crapology spreadsheet. No worries.

Last year's email method worked well for anyone not named Brad or Reg.

I like the pub idea for re-drafts. We could also look into floor hockey if anyone is interested.

Please let us know your availabilities.

I am always up for getting together at the pub like last year. Anyone who can't make it can forward their picks to Quagmire, Howie or myself (depending who's in first and can make it to the pub). I should be available those dates...

Pub's are good ..... Sunday the 16th works best for me.... I may be leaving town for the weekend (but would be back by evening)...
Not sure I understand the "Salary Cap Rules".... are they posted on the blog somewhere? Wasn't there something about being able to only use half a players salary towards your cap when he is dropped to pick up another player?
It's all too confusing ..... I think I need another beer... burp!
Oh, excuse me....

Shit - I am out for Saturday. Friday or Sunday could work for me.

If not I can do the email thing - but everyone would have to keep an eye on the blog on the weekend to know who was picked and who was still available.
