For those getting teams from this point on, I'll ask you to keep an open mind if someone approaches you in the next couple of days and asks you to trade teams because you have their original team. But it'll be your call and it's your team.

Mrroandro, your team is ... the Chula Vista Cripplas! A League 1 team, Chula Vista went 6-10 last year, and their strength appears to be on the lines, along with a deep WR corps.

Is it possible to move a team? I didn't see Los Angeles on the franchise list and everyone knows LA is a great sports town.

Your team is the Round Rock TambaTornados in League 2. A team run by a charismatic Texas quarterback who has a little bit of Hollywood in him.

Let's go with League 1's Dallas K-Swiss Tubes. They went 7-9 this year, but are poised for success with stars like Clay Matthews and Patrick Peterson. And uh, starting halfback Brandon Jacobs. Halfback might be a draft priority for you.

League 1

Anchorage Roadkill - lostcause
Dallas K-Swiss Tubes - kstater
Fort Wayne Dukes - davidmu
Overland Park Chiefs - King of the Cassel
Ventura Highways - Rockchalk

League 2
Little Rock Nine - kstater
Oklahoma City Outlaws - jreid18
Pompano Beach Pandas - ozona
Rancho Cucamonga Redrage - dtforever
Seattle Undertakers - Andchiefs
Waco Compound Fires - sully

Some of these folks either had e-mail bounces or the don't accept pm's or we otherwise had trouble contacting them. So if you know any of these folks, send them here pronto or Ray Farmer may be talking to them.

Just to make sure, that is something we should be doing right? Releasing players that obviously won't be playing? (Ray's cousin had to visit the graveyard for Belcher's playbook). Wasn't sure on roster size limits and salaries and all that.

Yeah, it's certainly fine to do that. It'll give you a more clear picture of draft needs, and if they're not playing, they're not playing.

Remember, though, that we're playing the 2012 season so if they played last year they're still active in this game.

Hey Rain Man or CD. I'd it possible to add a message board on the site so that we can communicate and run smack? I know we can send each other messages, but a message board is always fun.

Rain Man bestowed upon me Kansas City Fubars of League 2.


I filed paperwork with the league to have my team name changed shortly after the relocation papers were signed. Any idea when the pw hits the desk?

Sign up according to post 29 in this thread. Rain Man will assign you a team and then I'll connect you by tomorrow evening.

Go to Account Management => My Teams and see if you can log into High Point Knob Hills in League 1.

Let me know what you find out.

If there is a position change, one of three things will happen.

1. It'll update automatically when cdcox uploads the most recent data.

2. If it doesn't, you can petition for a change. In a case where it's obvious, we'll make the change across all leagues at once. (Wait - I've got Okung in League 2 and he's shown as an LT. Are you talking about someone else?)

3. If you need to move a player out of his natural position, you can do so. There's a performance degradation that depends on the nature of the move. If you move a RG to LG, for example, the degradation is very mild. If you move a NT to FS, the degradation is quite large. You'll find that you need to do this during the season occasionally if injuries hit a position hard.



I cut a few players myself, but have been careful about it. If a player still has a chance of getting signed to a roster, it probably makes sense to keep him as long as possible if you're otherwise just emptying a roster spot. I had a couple of guys who didn't latch onto a team in 2012, but they're still young enough that they might get back into the league this year. If not, I'll cut them when I need to.



Yep. After we do the rookie draft we'll have a free agent signing period where you pursue players who are not currently on teams. Since we had a delay, there are a few gems out there (Victor Cruz, anyone?) cdcox is working to get our permanent free agency system up and running, but if that doesn't work right now we'll do a draft.
