Expansion Draft

Post by swope81 »

Anyone else unable to set their preferences or pre-rank the draft? It's not allowing me to.

I really don't want the draft to run without me being able to set this stuff up.

It looks like the Expansion Teams haven't been moved into place. This is why there is no expansion draft pool.


Is there one more season left before we takeover?

If you look at the League Info page, the Expansion Teams are still listed at the bottom so I don't believe they are in place yet. I think BKCubs13 said that will happen around noon today..?

Sorry it was 2pm ... but supposed to happen YESTERDAY. So maybe everything is delayed a day?
Today at 2pm ET the expansion teams should be moved in and the calendar year will be 3/26

Tomorrow(Saturday) at 2pm ET the expansion draft will run.

Sunday at 12:08 pm ET the Amateur Draft will run.

Monday the new season with games will begin.

Ok, I'm hoping then that the draft will run tomorrow.

Not much of a window to rank things.

I'm betting it's delayed a day. Expansion Teams move in today.

Expansion draft tomorrow.

Amateur draft Monday.

New season Tuesday.

But don't bet the chicken farm on it.

I've been wrong puh-lenty o'times before.

Don't forget that this might be the first expansion draft ever in a 24 team league. Could be some glitches...

Yea, I am a little perplexed. From reading the rules, you can find them in Hammy's post. The expansion teams should have been moved in yesterday when the calendar year turned 3/26 and then the expansion draft should have gone through the following day(today).

Let's just wait until 2pm ET. if the expansion teams move in then, we know the draft will happen tomorrow and everything will be pushed until tomorrow. If anything crazy happens, like the expansion draft runs before teams can make their order, I will of course contact Admin(prob through FB b/c it's the fastest) to fix the issue.

I have already sent Chris a message this morning marked urgent to explain to us the schedule as well.

Sorry guys for the confusion, this is my first time being a commish as well as my first time being one during an expansion draft, so I've been figuring all of this out for the first time as well.

Everything hinges on the exact time the last team filled. Expansion teams should move in today at the time of the draft. If they don't, something is probably wrong.

After the draft, the the league date will remain 03/26. The Amateur Draft will run at the next time slot after that (for most leagues, this will be the next day). If a league has a pause day, that would be in effect after the Amateur Draft. The new season then starts the following day.
