Draft Orders are up. The master was copied and pasted on the other rounds and adjusted as necessary. If someone could check the 1st round of the supplemental draft against the standings on the archive site, I would really appreciate someone checking that I got it right (that round had no trades of picks). I don't quite understand how Washington was the 7th seed in the playoffs and ended up 5th after a 1st round exit, and a few other questions like that I had, but maybe that's based on regular season standings or something. I used the 12 teams in reverse order on the bottom of the standings, and the table on the right side of the playoff standings page. Thank you for the double checking. I'll easily make changes if it's not the way it should be. Let me know what else I can do to prep for the draft. I'll help where I can, but I probably will have to have someone else, or others, seeks out replacement owners if we're still 5 or however many owners short in a week or ten days. baseball.fantasysports.yahoo.com/archive/mlb/2016/2604

Sounds great. I'll check it later tonight when I have a chance. Thanks for all your help. So we need Riverbats to log in now and give other people admin rights? Is that one of the hold ups? Has anyone reached out to him through email yet?

So, I think we should start preparing for the worst. I have heard no word from Bats, Scrappers, Roses, and Cubs. The worst one is the bats as we need him to provide access to proboards. Other than that we should consider finding new owners. I thought the bats and scrappers would definatley be in as they are normally active, but so far thats not the case. I know I have one other owner that would be good that will join, does anyone else have anyone that would want to be in the league and active?
Also, if anyone knows how to get ahold of the bats, (I have attempted to email him with no prevail) that would be great.
Lets get this figured out guys. Worst case is wee need 3 more managers.

We should set a date for check in. That way we give ourselves time to find new owners if teams are not returning. I believe the draft was originally scheduled to start tomorrow?

I think we go on with the draft just by pass the team like we did in the past ( 12 hour window ) then after the draft we look for new owners .if we can't full up all 4 teams and the Supplemental Draft (February 21) is done we put the players on waivers

I do not think that would be the best way to move forward. Those teams will lose major assets which is like a punishment to the new owners and make people less interested in taking the teams over. I think we should have a full list of managers in place prior to the draft. I believe we can find replacements within a week or so and we will have plenty of time to get the draft going b4 start of season in april

I agree mostly with Orange and Blue. Don't want to penalize the new owners for something that's not their fault. Drafting their future team may help keep them interested longer. I know that O & B mentioned that he has one owner in place. I think we try to replace the owners with people that someone in the league knows first. If we don't have enough there then maybe we make some posts on the larger dynasty baseball forums? Like Rotoworld and such? Just some suggestions. I'm open to any ideas that work.

I was going to post on a few forums i know of this weekend. I think minorleagueball.com is a good forum that I see dynasty league posts on alot.
If anyone has anyone interested in joining the league or an idea for recruitment let me know. I may have 2 potential owners now also, so worry not we will get this league running!`

I just received word from the scrappers that MHV is back this year. He was out of town and did not get any of our emails.

I'm pretty sure I first took over the Syracuse team a few years ago by responding to a posting on a Rotoworld message board or something like that, so that's an option if we need to find owners.
