Dear Weaker-Coaches-than-I-am-as-demonstrated-by-my-going-to-the-Championship-Final-last-season-while-you-did-not-(except-Steggs):

Some 2019 season stuff:

- Who is in for 2019? - Who is in for the 2019 season?
- 2019 Draft Starts on Monday, October 1st - The 2019 Draft starts on Monday, October 1st and we will do one pick per day. (Draft order and timing below.) If we did a pick-per-day for the 2018 Draft (with 118 picks), it would have taken 4 months. If the 2019 Draft is similar to the 2018 draft, we will complete the Draft on February 1st. If the 2018 Draft isn't completed before the start of the 2019 Season, we'll go to a live Draft for the final picks.
- Drops Due Before Your Pick - Like last season, your pre-Draft Roster, as well as the non-graduating players on your current roster that you want to drop, are due before you pick.
- Two New Coaches, Possibly More - We have two coaches that want to join the league. We currently have 18 coaches and 24 NCAA teams. i.e. We have a 2:3 coach to NCAA team ratio. By adding these two coaches, we'll have 20 coaches. My thought is to add the two coaches and add three NCAA teams.
- New NCAA Teams - If every coach returns and we only add two new coaches/teams, we will add one new NCAA team: Albany. We will know more about new Fantasy and NCAA Teams after the coaches reply, the new coaches confirm their interest, etc. (As a semi-aside, last season, 15 un-Drafted players had double digit points. i.e. With our current number of Fantasy and NCAA teams, there are good players that are being overlooked.)
- Draft Resource - Here's a link that might help you prepare for the upcoming Draft.

And, back to my original question...
Who is in for the 2019 FanLax Fantasy Lacrosse Season?

I crushed you last season and I will crush you again,
Matnum

Admin, I have three questions

1) If EZE picks at 9am on October 1, can Maddog pick after him that same day or does he have to wait for his day (Oct 2nd)?

2) Can you remind FanLax coaches that that the roster they submit pre-draft is final and if they make a mistake and leave off a player who is still eligible (like Rotanz from UMD last season), they can't get that player back unless they draft him or pick him up in the add/drops?

3) How will we do add/drops? On the day of the last pick will there be an add/drop window?

Thanks!

1) If EZE picks at 9am on October 1, can Maddog pick after him that same day?... One per day. Obviously this isn't simple to control. But I think one-per-day would work better. Continuity is good.
2) Can you remind FanLax coaches that that the roster they submit pre-draft is final... Will do.
3) On the day of the last pick will there be an add/drop window?... Yes.

One pick a day will be interesting. It will allow for quality punditry.

Agreed. If not amongst the pundits, amongst us.

I’m in - btw!!

As the offender that led to this requested reminder..... What you need to remind people is to double check the 2019 roster status of all of their players before they finalize their pre-draft roster(even those you had slated for graduation).
