Time to check in. I renewed the league in Yahoo so we just need a head count.

This was last year's schedule:

March 3 Keepers due/Prospect Draft begins (immediately after keepers declared)
March 10 Prospect Draft ends
March 10 Regular Draft begins (sooner, if WE GET THE Prospect Draft done earlier)
March 18 Regular Draft Ends (or sooner, God willing)
Wednesday March 20th Start of Season

I assume we just subtract two days from each date, since those Japan games are on 18 MAR. If so, that means keepers would be due by 1 MAR. That's less than two weeks away for those who are counting.

I looked through last year's thread, and did not see any pick trades. There were none documented at Yahoo either.

I am also unaware of any prospect trades.

If you have evidence of either pick trades or prospect trades, please post here.

Adapted from <19> above:

March 1 Keepers due 11:59 PM ET
March 2 Prospect Draft begins
March 8 Prospect Draft Ends/Regular Draft begins
March 16 Regular Draft Ends
March 18th Start of Season

There is a Keeper thread to post your keepers in. Deadline is this coming Saturday. Only 7/14 managers have posted keepers so far.

Rotoguru fixed it. However, he reminded me that this platform is on its last leg. We need to plan to move elsewhere.

Many of you are in TPKL, and are aware of the Groups.io capability. Still others know that many Rotoguru leagues have already moved to Discord.

We need to figure out what to do with this league (and RIBC and 8 MEN OUT too).

Any thoughts?

If anyone is good at setting those type of things up I think the Google Groups (Like TPKL) is a great idea, but does that mean that everyone on the league must have a gmail account?

Also if you post keepers, and then change them, please note who you threw back, or don't delete the first version because if we already crossed that player off our cheat sheet there is no way to know who you threw back if you delete the first post.

Discord seems pretty easy. I am in some sim racing leagues that use it quite well. Dedicated channels for different topics. Some of them set up with just a link to google sheets for different things.

So that would work well for the prospect lists, pick swaps, etc.

Discord works, and is free. Honestly, yahoo+email+daftrhyme works. But the email threads might get unwieldy.

Google groups I thought were being phased out, but maybe I'm thinking of something else.

I don't like Slack.

Prospect Draft is set up on a separate thread. Check to make sure your picks are correct.

I set up a generalized channel for Rotoguru forums as well. Really haven't done much with it. It has a "links to leagues" topic that sends you to other rotoguru born leagues on Discord. You might want to post something to that Cam.
