Hey guys,
We're currently at 16 owners joined plus 1 guy who says he's 100%. Once we hit 20 I'll send out a more detailed email about the Fantrax site, payments, and a timeline to get things started.
Thanks for joining and let myself or Andy (Atl Three Lions) know of any questions/concerns you may have.
-Ryan (Ft. Myers Marauders)

I have created the getting to know the league thread. The things stated there can be found in the constitution, but I thought it would be easier to highlight a few things. Feel free to reply to these threads if you need further clarification. I will continue to add threads as time allows and I think of things.

Wanted to throw out there that any of you that are familiar with the format can post in the Getting to know the league thread as well if there is something that you think would help the newcomers.

We have one guy who doesn't think he'll be able to make payment. Does anyone have a replacement in mind before I post back up on message boards?

Alright, so we had 3 guys waste our time and not pay by today's deadline. We have two new team in and paid, so we have 19 in, 19 paid. Hopefully we'll have the 20th this weekend, if not today. Once we're full and paid I'll send out an email with an update about a timeline and the minor league draft.

Pasting in the email I just sent out:
Thank you all for making payments and getting it out of the way so quickly, saves a lot of headaches. I'm going to run the draft order generator Monday night so you'll get an email from their website (www.draftordergenerator.com/) with the results. I'm only going to run it once, so don't bother complaining if you don't like your spot lol.
The draft will begin Tuesday, Jan 5th. This initial minor league draft will be a snake draft. The 2-round summer draft's order will be the reverse of this upcoming initial draft and snake as well. All future season's drafts will be non-snake based on playoff/consolation bracket results. As for this initial draft, it will be a minimum of 15 rounds, maxing out at 20. You can declare you're done anytime after round 15, but once you make that decision, you cannot jump back into the draft in a later round. There is an 8-hour time-limit on picks. After 8 hours, the next team may choose a player, and the skipped team can make up their pick at any time. There will be a clock stoppage between 1AM EST and 7AM EST each night, though picks can still be made during this time.
We have a few weeks before the draft so start reading up and researching since there will be 300-400 minor league players drafted. The major prospect publications are currently putting out their Team Top 10 lists, but we'll start before their Top 100/150 lists come out so you won't be able to rely too heavily on their lists. The player pool includes any player currently in a MLB organization with under 130 AB or 50 IP. This includes this past year's July 2nd international signees. The draft will not include international signings 26 years of age or older (so no Kenta Maeda, Byung-Ho Park, ect..)
Andy and I have plenty of time before the draft to answer any questions. Please ask questions on the proboards website so others can see in case they also were unsure about that topic. Thanks again for joining the league, it's a great format that makes for a lot of trading and volatility in the standings each year. I wish we could start the draft tomorrow but best wait till the holiday season comes to an end for everyone to have ample time.

We're bumping nominations from 2/team to 3 so we can wrap this up a little faster.

And with that last barage you can now nominate as many players as you like so that we can get everyone filled up.

Hi- Just wondering if/when the waiver wire might be opening?...to make a minor tweak or two. Also, just to clarify my understanding of the minor league process: If I promote a minor leaguer(s) what is the minor league replacement process? Do we only replenish minor leaguers thru the drafts or do we pick up when below the minimum number of players? If so, is it a 24 hour waiver process?

Free agency opens Thursday night. The true minor league contracts can only be drafted. You can add free agent minor leaguers to your system in-season if you go below 13, but they'll be on 400k/1yr contracts like any other FA signing.
