This is an early heads-up that I do not plan to organize the RIFC leagues in 2022 or beyond.
For both baseball and hoops, replacement leagues have been formed, at least in a limited capacity, with volunteers stepping up to run them.
For football, be aware that the myfantasyleague.com platform is not free. For 2022, the full price for a league will be about $100, with a $20 early-bird discount available in early June. It will be up to each league to figure out and manage its financing.
If there are commissioner volunteers for any of the leagues, I can facilitate by passing along the league credentials to foster continuity.

Philly Busters again had to correct me- I had the 4th round reverting to that of round 1 as presented by MyFan site but Philly informed me that the 4th round remains as the second round. I have fixed this on the draft site. I am very glad for all the help correcting my mistakes LOL.

Valkyrie - draft order is still incorrect. I sent you an email. Rounds 5-24 are all backwards.

We had a bit of an inauspicious start. After day 1 of 18 in our draft we achieved only 10 picks or 1/2 of our pace leaving us down 10 picks already. I would like to try to get through round 2 today with no draft limit if we can. If we can't do this we will have to start implementing a time limit. Please continue to use your queues, send e-mails to the next person up when you finish and periodically check the fansite and/or this board.

We should probably be doing this:
"Starting in 2015, I made the following offer to all RIFC leagues. This adjustment applies only to players injured in preseason week #3. We'll "protect" a team who drafts a player before his week #3 game and who is injured in that game. If you are in that situation, you'll have a limited time to make a substitute pick - but only from the player pool still remaining.
So, for example, if Tim Tebow is drafted by Team X prior to his game on Aug 28, and Tebow is injured in that game, then Team X can jettison Tebow and substitute any other player who is still in the undrafted pool at the time of the jettison. This, however, must be done by the end of Monday, August 30.
While this obviously isn't complete insurance, it is designed to keep the draft moving during that first weekend. And it's certainly better than being stuck with an eventual free agent to replace an early draft pick. Hopefully, this situation will never come into play.
But with JK Dobbins just carted off the field, it's worthy of keeping in mind."

[57] Just a bit of historical perspective...
Your pace is just fine. The earlier rounds always progress more slowly than the later rounds. Your current pace is similar to last year's early pace, and you are starting about a week earlier than last year.
Managers are always more willing to set queues in the later rounds than in the earlier rounds, when they prefer to react to what's going on at the time.
Nothing "inauspicious" whatsoever about the current pace.

Nerph- I thought the three-week rule was already an unofficial official policy of Guru's and was already de facto in place. I think I had to use it for one of Dobbins earlier injuries. As far as I am concerned and absent any objections I would consider the insurance in place.

Does the rule apply if a player is injured during practice or only if it happens in a preseason game?

Again, historical perspective...
We typically didn't start the RIFC drafts until preseason weekend #3 games were being played, so the rule was specifically tailored to injuries incurred during those games.
Since you have started this league in well in advance of that, practice injuries are not really contemplated by the rule. But I suppose it is in the spirit of the rule to make it available for practice injuries prior to preseason week #3 games as well.

Consistent with prior RIFC's I started a draft rational thread. All things considered I would view this as voluntary by all managers. However completing the rational would be the closest we can come to retaining all aspects of RotoGurudom!

I second the call for the clock. Just because there's a lot of time left before the start of the season doesn't mean we have to use it. Let's get this done!

Guys the draft has gone so well I really hate to impose a time element now. Is it ok if we give it one more chance during the up coming week? I think we will probably finish by Thursday which is much much better than I expected. I was the first thinking we would need an early time clock but now I would really like to finish a draft w/o ever having to use one- something I have never done before? I of course will follow the wishes of the majority or even a substantial minority like 3-4 more people wanting it. No one is averaging more than a 70 minute wait so far.

Despite my issue on day 1 of the draft, I would have preferred that we implement a clock as in previous years. It just keeps everything balanced IMHO

I would like to thank everyone for a very good draft. 10 1/2 days from start to finish. A small status update- looks like there will be no free entries next year however I again would like to thank everyone. I received $90 in voluntary contributions which with my $10 nets us out at PLUS $.01. Thank you all.

I will be assisting Valkyrie in setting up post-draft waivers and F/A add/drops.
These are usually processed on the Wednesday of week #1, which would be Sept. 7. Of course, the draft is usually not completed a week prior to that.
So, we have two options:
1. Stick with the usual schedule. Post-draft blind bidding will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 7, at 7pm ET. FCFS free agent adds will be available starting at 10pm ET that night.
2. Move the Wednesday processing to an earlier day.
My predilection is to stick with the regular Wednesday schedule. This allows all transactions based on "late breaking" news to be administered by blind bidding on that date.
But I'll defer to the preferences of league managers if there is ample interest in moving it earlier.

I think we will stick with Wednesday blind bidding.
However, I am going to move it up to 6pm ET (not just for this week, but for all Wednesdays), rather than 7pm.
Here's the reason:
Dropped players are subject to blind bidding before being released for FCFS pickups. If a player is dropped in conjunction with a Wednesday blind bidding claim, he can only be claimed by another team at the next scheduled blind bidding.
We used to have a Thursday night blind bidding at 7:30pm. This enabled that bidding process to clear the 24 hour threshold, while still generally allowing a claimed player to be inserted into a starting lineup prior to the Thursday night gametime (usually 8:20).
However, last year, MFL made a change that only permitted blind bidding to occur "on the hour". As a consequence, the Thursday BB was moved up from 7:30 to 7pm, and this did not allow players dropped at 7pm on Wednesday to be claimed at 7pm on Thursday.
Delaying the Thursday BB to 8pm seems like it's too close to the Thursday night game times. So, if we leave that BB at 7pm, we need to push the Wednesday claiming to 6PM. I don't see that as a problem. But if any of you do, please speak up.
So the first post-draft blind bidding will take place at 6pm ET on Wednesday, Sept 7.
I will enable this later today.

Crabby Bills inadvertently dropped Amari Cooper this morning instead of Cole Beasley.
I used Commissioner powers to fix the obvious mistake.
And then I chastised her for not proofreading her work before hitting the submit button!

I'm not sure if it's ever happened before that the first place team, if they were 7th in record, would not even make the playoffs. That's my team right now.
Still looking for a WR!

Playoff seeds are determined.
Seeds 1-3 based on W/L:
1. Philly Busters
2. Loki
3. SwinganaMiss
The #4 seed is the team with the best record of the 4-6 teams: Nerfherders
The 5-6 teams based on W/L are Valkyrie and Taxman. Of the other teams, the two with the most points are IAC and Russelldl. Those four teams are seeded based on points
So the remaining seeds are
4. Nerfherders
5. Valkyrie
6. IAC
7. Russelldl
8. Taxman
The remaining teams will be slotted into the consolation bracket.
Blind Bidding $ have been adjusted, according to the rules. Teams not in the championship bracket lose all remaining BB$, but still may do FC/FS free agent add/drops.
If Thursday morning’s scoring corrections result in a change to the final regular season standings, then the seedings and BB$ will be correspondingly adjusted. Consequently, the first blind bidding of the week will not occur until Thursday at 3pm ET. FC/FS transactions begin at 6pm ET Thursday.
Remember that teams must start two RBs each week during the playoffs. (The bye week flex option is over.)

Nerph- Seedings 1-3 are determined solely among to those teams with the 3 best records entering week 14. The seedings between those three are determined by best record after playing week 14 round. Seeding #4 is determined solely between teams with the 4,5 and 6th best records entering week 14 with the team with the best record of those three after week 14 seeded #4 i.e. you. Seeds 5-8 are determined by most points for year with the losers of the 4,5,6 playoff for #4, joined by teams 7 and 8 determined by most yearly points. In other words your seeding is right you get me week 15. Don't blame you I'd rather play IAC too if I were you LOL.

Yeah I get it. I was very lucky this year, however it was a bit of a weird distribution of points. I scored less than 100 three times and went 0-6, but scored 139+ seven times and went 13-1. Those three bad weeks were really bad and brought everything down. I only scored within five points of my average three times.
Anyways, I was merely confused on how the seeding worked with the 14 week season. No big deal!

Just one game could possibly be reversed based on scoring corrections on Thursday morning: Philly Busters (149.3) vs. Taxman (151.42)
Teams no longer involved in any playoff game have been locked out from further add/drop moves. If there is a reversal of the PB/Tax game, I'll unlock PB on Thursday morning.
In the consolation bracket, Grumpy Gremlin survives to the next round as the consolation bracket loser with the best score in week #15.

Because most of the NFL schedule is on Saturday this week, I inserted an extra blind bid processing on Saturday morning at 8am. Waiting until Sunday morning made no sense.

I know that the more important issue is the health of the players, but I have to ask: what are we going to do with this championship?
Since they aren't going to resume the game this week, my suggestion would be to call IAC and I co-champions and call it a day. I don't think any other solution is necessarily fair to either team at this point.
