Thank you to those who voted on the rule and league changes. I figured I should post this before the keeper deadline this week. 8 people voted on the changes. The following was what we voted on:

2015 Draft Lottery and Draft Date
2015 Draft Lottery
Today I conducted the draft lottery along with Jonathan DiRocco (DiRoc) during our lunch. The results are listed below. The 1st and 2nd picks were up for grabs in the lottery and the remaining picks are based on last years standings. Legally Blonde won the 1st pick. They had a 28.57% chance to maintain the 1st pick. Hitmen won the 2nd pick. They only had a 9.52% chance of winning that pick. This year and all years following will be based on a straight draft, not serpentine, so Legally Blonde picks 1st every round and Hitmen pick 2nd every round and so on.

Keeper Rules and Player Vaules
Edited 7/26/15 – Updated players current teams.
The deadline to declare your keepers is Friday, July 31st. After you lock in your team hover over “My Team” menu and select “choose keepers”. This will bring you to a page where you can select up to 3 keepers to keep. It will be finalized once I review that the keepers are valid based on the rules below. If you fail to declare your keepers by July 31st then all of your players will be returned to the pool to be drafted.

The Game of Throws 2015 Season
It’s that time of year already. I hope everyone had a good off season.
There are a few things we need to do before the 2015 season starts such as conducting the draft lottery and declaring our keepers. But the first order of business is to find out if everyone is on board for this coming season.
Because this is a keeper league it is imperative that I lock in all the teams by Thursday, July 23rd.
Please let me know if you plan on joining the league or not. Again, the deadline to lock in your team is July 23rd. If I do not hear back from everyone by the 23rd then I will assume you will not be returning to the league. The reason for the deadline is to allow me enough time to find a replacement owner if I need to. Log into your Yahoo account and use the “join” link that was sent to you in your emails.
Also, I would love to hear from everyone. Let me know if there are any changes you may want to suggest. We could vote on any changes such as draft compensation for keeper players, scoring rules, roster lineups, entry fees, etc.
A couple of items I would like to put up for a vote:

Game of Throws Trading Deadline and other stuff
Only 2 more weeks left until the playoffs. It looks like every team has a chance to make it. It has been very close. Congratulations to DiRoc for being the first team to clinch a playoff spot and a quarterfinal bye.
Just to remind you all. The trading deadline is at the end of the day on Thursday, November 20th. No trades will be allowed beginning November 21st.
You will still be able to pick up players off of waivers after the trading deadline. There are also some teams who have not used any of their waiver wire budget. I am not sure if there is any confusion with the budget system. Just to clarify, it is fictional money. It is not money that is owed to a league pool if used. Feel free to bid on players if needed.

Free Agent/Waiver System (FAAB)
Explanation of the Free Agent/Waiver system.
To make the Free Agent/Waiver wire system a little more interesting and fair we are going to be using what is called the FAAB system. It stands for Free Agent Acquisition Budget. It’s a slightly different way to run the waiver wire system to make it a little less stale.
