This was last year's schedule:
March 3 Keepers due/Prospect Draft begins (immediately after keepers declared)
March 10 Prospect Draft ends
March 10 Regular Draft begins (sooner, if WE GET THE Prospect Draft done earlier)
March 18 Regular Draft Ends (or sooner, God willing)
Wednesday March 20th Start of Season
I assume we just subtract two days from each date, since those Japan games are on 18 MAR. If so, that means keepers would be due by 1 MAR. That's less than two weeks away for those who are counting.

I looked through last year's thread, and did not see any pick trades. There were none documented at Yahoo either.
I am also unaware of any prospect trades.
If you have evidence of either pick trades or prospect trades, please post here.

Adapted from <19> above:
March 1 Keepers due 11:59 PM ET
March 2 Prospect Draft begins
March 8 Prospect Draft Ends/Regular Draft begins
March 16 Regular Draft Ends
March 18th Start of Season
There is a Keeper thread to post your keepers in. Deadline is this coming Saturday. Only 7/14 managers have posted keepers so far.

Rotoguru fixed it. However, he reminded me that this platform is on its last leg. We need to plan to move elsewhere.
Many of you are in TPKL, and are aware of the Groups.io capability. Still others know that many Rotoguru leagues have already moved to Discord.
We need to figure out what to do with this league (and RIBC and 8 MEN OUT too).
Any thoughts?

If anyone is good at setting those type of things up I think the Google Groups (Like TPKL) is a great idea, but does that mean that everyone on the league must have a gmail account?

Also if you post keepers, and then change them, please note who you threw back, or don't delete the first version because if we already crossed that player off our cheat sheet there is no way to know who you threw back if you delete the first post.

Discord seems pretty easy. I am in some sim racing leagues that use it quite well. Dedicated channels for different topics. Some of them set up with just a link to google sheets for different things.
So that would work well for the prospect lists, pick swaps, etc.

Looking for an upgraded keeper. I would like to turn CJ Abrams, Devin Williams and Eugenio Suarez into one keeper.
Let me know if you are interested.

Discord works, and is free. Honestly, yahoo+email+daftrhyme works. But the email threads might get unwieldy.
Google groups I thought were being phased out, but maybe I'm thinking of something else.
I don't like Slack.

Prospect Draft is set up on a separate thread. Check to make sure your picks are correct.
Perm Dude has the first pick.

I set up a generalized channel for Rotoguru forums as well. Really haven't done much with it. It has a "links to leagues" topic that sends you to other rotoguru born leagues on Discord. You might want to post something to that Cam.
Here's the invite to that:

Or as foot did, put in both places so we make sure everyone has access and understands and is okay with Discord.
I haven't used it much in years, and never for this purpose. It seems like it should work fine, but lets test it out before we leap.

are you sure that's the right link to the general server, Bean? It's just taking me to the general channel in Rotoguru Political Fantasy Baseball I set up.
Might be user error on my part.

So far, 8/14 managers have signed up. This won't work unless EVERYONE signs up.
Is there anyone who cannot sign up with Discord?

Well, we still need three to sign up: PermDude and ArtofMonk are already on Discord with G20 Hoops. Bobo said he is on Discord in <36> above. So looks like we'll be using Discord after the prospect draft but before the Draft Time draft.
Let's get signed up guys.

Timeline is the only issue Monty. I find it works best if the guy who has first overall pick waits before picking. That way, if a mistake is made loading keepers, we can figure a work around if required.
