Tentative Off-Season Schedule

[Andrew]

Is it right that when I release Auto Renewel and Arbitration eligible guys right now I am being charged under Player Expenses? I thought this was the time to do it????

Is it telling you that you're being charged when you release them? How much does it say you're being charged?

[Clay]

It's not telling me anything, but... at the start of this sim... my Player expenses were at $0 (See HTML) when I went to financials before I exported this A.M., the Player Expenses were up over $160,000. No messages. No one was releases that wasn't either on Auto-Renewel or Arbitration eligible.

That's why I'm confused.

[Pat]

Since people are cutting players now, should we make the rule after this sim that you can't sign FAs...like we did last time?

I have three players who are FAs at years end...should I just cut them, if I don't want to re-sign them?

M 4/21 - Expansion Draft Begins

Th 4/24 - Expansion Draft

S 4/27 - Expansion Draft (if necessary)

T 4/29 - Expansion Draft (if necessary)

Technically the draft is on-going, right? They don't have to just pick on these dates, right?

Correct.

[Pat]

If we get the next...10 picks or whatever is left in, before 9PM ET, is there a sim tonight?

No. We should be on schedule to have a sim Tuesday. I won't be importing though.

[Andrew]

The issues with the website this week prevented me from getting the stuff done that I needed to. We'll be going by the original schedule posted in the 1st post of this thread. So no new league file tonight.

[Pat]

All good.

Two more days as Champions!

[Riverman]

Does anybody know what we are doing? Was there a sim last night? Are we on a break? Can we start offering FA contracts?

[Clay]

Due to the site issues, Andrew will not have a new league file till tomorrow (at the latest).

Once we get the new league file, we are back in lock step with the other thread:

Th 5/1 - Offseason 3 - Post Arbitration to Rule 5 Draft
Length: ~21 days
Export Notes: You can start making FA offers after this sim. Make sure to place players you don't want to lose in the Rule 5 draft on your 40 man roster (Players with the # sign next to their name)

[Pat]

I stand corrected.

[Clay]

Are we still on schedule for Opening Day a week from Sunday?

Are we going to have an Opening Day Live Sim?

Yep, Andrew edited the schedule yesterday.

9 days!!!

I did? I'm honestly not sure how it will work out. If I can get to the start of ST in the next 2 sims, we'll be on schedule. If not, we'll be 1 behind.
