Here are the deadlines for getting your Round 1 rosters in.

There are three deadlines. You must have at least two teams entered by the first deadline. You need to have at least four teams entered by the second deadline. At the final deadline, you need to have ALL SIX teams entered.

The penalty for being late is 1 point per team, per day late. The penalty points will be cancelled if you get all SIX teams in by the last deadline.

The first deadline is Monday, May 15.
The second deadline is Monday, May 22.
The final deadline is Monday, May 29.

If you are behind on entering teams and not responsive to site mails, I will have to replace you. Owners who join with fewer than 2 weeks til the first deadline will be exempt from penalty points, but still will need to have all six teams in by the final deadline.

Hi redcped, thanks to you and all involved in making this happen, had a great time with it last year despite limited success :) Am I able to begin putting teams together at this point, or are we waiting for league codes/assignments, wasn't sure where to look for these. Thank you

By all means do start building your rosters, but the league assignments won't come until we fill all the tournament spots and randomize the owners into leagues.

How/where can we begin constructing our rosters?

I just build mine in the Draft Center and label them for the theme and keep them there until we are ready to launch all the leagues.

You need to buy 6 teams, choose "Open league" to start building your rosters in the Draft Center, but don't enter them. Once the league numbers are available, you can switch from Open League to the actual league number.

I feel we should push for 96 owners. A 2 week delay to get the owners needed is better than jumping the gun to have a lesser tournament experience.

We are up to 90 signups now, so it is looking more probable now. I'm open to pushing deadlines back a week since we can't do a draw until we know our total number and therefore can't hold anyone to the first deadline anyway.

Here is the grid for 96 teams. Commissioners are 1 thru 4...

Excellent, thank you. If anyone spots an error, please let us know.

I have a volunteer to do the randomizing. I'm reaching out to the commissioners (and also trying to finish my last team), so hopefully we can have league numbers by the end of the week.

The commissioners will be redcped, ronthegenius, chargingryno, and jtpsops. I'll have the four of us randomized into the top four spots.

The remainder of the field will be randomized to fill the spots from 5-96 in schwarze's grid above. Here is the list of names to be randomized:

I have asked bheid408 to do the randomizing and post the results in this thread. We are getting closer, folks. Hang in there.
