Offseason Schedule

[mattynokes]

Every time we rush through things, it makes me laugh. It just shows the vast majority of this league wouldn't have been able to handle PSBL. It was a much slower paced league where we might have 3 or 4 days in between sims, not just the off-season.

Really I'm surprised this league hasn't had more problems because of how quickly we move at the end of the season. In my experiences leagues that move too fast end up hurting themselves in the long run. I don't mind the daily sims, but I do agree with Andy how we essentially make the last two months less important than the first two months.

I'd like to see this:

Day1: July 31 to August 11 (11 days simmed)
Day2: August 11 to August 22 (11 days simmed)
Day3: August 22 to September 1 (10 days simmed)
Day4: September 1 to September 13 (12 days simmed)
Day5: September 13 to September 24 (11 days simmed)
Day6: September 24 to October 5 (11 days simmed)
Day7: Playoffs
Day8: Off
Day9: Off
Day10: Re-Signings Due/ FA Opened
Day11: 1st 24 hours
Day12: 2nd 24 hours / FAs can start signing

To get to this point it's only two extra days from what we currently have. If those extra days are really going to be that much a drag then either take some meds or find something else to do.

I'm one who'll likely have my re-signings done the night they're posted and be able to be on top of the current schedule. But we do have some quality GMs who don't have that luxury. To those who aren't competing, hit up the Waiver Wire. It really is surprising to me how few teams waive players and how few teams claim players. This is a great opportunity to pick up a small piece. For a rebuilding team it could be dumping a contract (or anyone who yo won't retain) while picking up a tweener prospect.
