[FF]: 2016 Season Long Fantasy FIRST

[EricH]

Schedule and other notes:

Enjoy the days off (there are no scheduled drafts until Saturday). That being said, the MI and MAR drafts are both up for picking, should anybody want to do so.

So, the basic plan on these two-day, 6-round drafts is that the first day is a normal 3-round day, and the second day reverses the drafting order but maintains the picklists. There's a reason for that "non-random players" button on the draft generator part of the sheet, and this is it.

The schedule from now until Kickoff is all district drafting: MI, MAR, PNW, and NE are all 2-day drafts; Chesapeake is likely to be another. North Carolina and Peachtree are single-day. Then we get a day to relax and then it's time to build a robot.

A couple of notes as far as "what's next": Waivers remain open for any team that crops up and wasn't in the initial draft; trades are perfectly valid between players if everybody is willing.


Further schedule note: We still have a number of drafts to run. However, we don't know the teams attending those events yet. I'm referring, of course, to the DCMP events, which will draft sometime around Week 5-6 of competition, and to the Championship's 8 divisional drafts, which will draft the weekend before Champs if at all possible. This is going to be a little hectic during those draft weekends...

Can we send a second pick list for day 2 of the block drafts?

Sure. I'll use whatever the most current list I have is.

[MARS_James]

So I have a late addition to the Swamp Life team: Jeremy Callahan, he will be handling the remainder of Swamp Life's FiM picks.

EDIT:
I have finished updating the threads and everything should be up to date, check the threads to make sure you have your appropriate teams

EDIT EDIT:
Just letting everyone know that 2383 Ninjineers showed up as a team at the Orlando Regional, feel free to put in waiver claims.

Thanks to feedback from James, the spreadsheet with picks should be current as well.

2383 is on waiver in Orlando. Claims will need to be in by 1/4/16, 8 PM Eastern.

[Rangel]

Team 987 looks to be signed up for Arizona West. OrangeJuice would like to make a claim for them.

And THIS waiver will close on 1/6, 7 PM Eastern. But it'll be a moot point unless OJ adds a claim for 2383 in Orlando, which comes off first.

Current priority is:
OrangeJuice
Broconnor
Falcon
The Breakfast Company
Swamp Life
Rotten Fruit Alliance
The ULCAN
FIRST Pick

[Rangel]

We will not be making a claim for 2383. Once the waiver claim goes through for 987, we will trade out 3187.

[EricH]

Well... It's 8 PM Eastern.

So, it's time to reveal that Rotten Fruit Alliance picks up 2383 in Orlando off of waivers.

And by virtue of being at the top of the waiver list, Orange Juice picks up 987 in Arizona West.


Speaking of Arizona West, Falcon claims 1197 there, replacing 991 (if successful). (OK, so I've got inside info...) Waiver closes 1/7 at 8 PM Eastern.

Current waiver priority list:
Broconnor
Falcon
The Breakfast Company
Swamp Life
The ULCAN
FIRST Pick
Rotten Fruit Alliance
OrangeJuice

[Navid Shafa]

RFA will bring in 2383 for 2556 at Orlando. I have updated the pick sheet to reflect the new waivers.

[EricH]

Only two drafts left: Chesapeake Day 2 and Peachtree. And Kickoff is still three days away...

So, what happens after the last drafts? That's easy... Waiting. Waiting for teams to come off of the waitlists (or not). Offering and accepting trades (or not). And waiting for Week 0...

After all the waiting comes the drafting of the DCMPs. The good news is that they're spread over two weekends: PNW, Chesapeake, and NC will draft between 4/3 and 4/5, and the rest will draft between 4/10 and 4/12. The bad news is that the teams are really good, and you only get 3.

And then comes the week after DCMPs, better known as Championship Division Draft Week (er... OK. Whatever. ) All 8 divisions get drafted, but the drafting order is no longer random... We'll get to that later.

No other claims were received for this waiver. Falcon picks up 1197 for 991 in Arizona West.

With that waiver processed and drafts completed, the rosters have been updated.
