ny92mike Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 IMPORTANT READ I'm not sure how I screwed this up so bad with the scheduling but we need to adjust the start date for this mock to after the Super Bowl (Feb. 7th). I'm looking at a start date on the 8th give or take a day. Which is a little over 3 weeks away. SOLUTION We run a very basic draft only version. We randomize the current teams we're assigned to so we aren't showing our hand when we start making draft picks. I can make copies of the official rosters, send them out privately. Turn on editing so that you can get familiar with how to use the workbooks. This would also be helpful as we'd get a leg up on scouting prospects. What do you guys think? I'd need some help keeping the draft board up to date, but that's one of the easier books to update. Let me know if that's something you'd be interested in. If not, it's going to be a pretty boring 3 weeks. @LuckyNumber11 @swoosh @ravens5520 @KingOfNewYork @BringinDaPain @Forge @sparky151 @cortes02 @D82 @BowserBroncos @winitall @squire12 @jch1911 @Counselor @pwny @samsel23 @Trojan @carrolljcmc @dcat @FinneasGage @Uncle Buck @DoleINGout @JetsandI @ny92mike @bcb1213 @T-rade @Cbrunn @Justone2 @Heymangold @mountainpd @Daniel @MikeT14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Went back and looked at your other two choices to see if we couldn't work something else out with a different team but both (CIN and JAC) of those are locked in as well. Let's put these newly assigned Commissioners to work to resolve this. @squire12 @BowserBroncos Could you guys help me out with resolving this issue. I'd like both of your votes on this matter. After looking at this in more detail I'm going to vote for @FinneasGage to manage the Dolphins, for the following reasons: Even though he isn't a fan of the team, he will be running the franchise with assistance from his roommate, who is a fan. One of the earlier members to sign up. Newbie to this mock that could land the site a new member which is always good. Top 3 choices from both GM's just worked out this way. Let's see what the other two Commish members have to say about this. Again, worst part of being the owner of this mock is assigning GM's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What we can do to kill off the boredom is open up the league for post trade block, franchise tags, restructuring contracts and non-FA extensions and cuts.....some teams will have to make some work to get cap.

I don't want to open the door for trades this early. We just end up trading players because we get bored. What I was suggesting would be separate from the official mock just thought it might help get the new members some early training with the workbooks and allow us to start scouting the draft in preparation for the official one.

Daniel Posted January 15, 2021 Share Posted January 15, 2021 I thought we’d be going after the Combine, so I’m fine with waiting a few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think waiting to run the full version is what most would want. If @ny92mike can create a sample contract bidding workbook that new gm can get access to,, i can run a Google sheets chat session on how to create bids in the workbooks if there is interest in that. 1 hour ago, ny92mike said: I don't want to open the door for trades this early.

Agreed on holding off on allowing trades and other aspects . 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No reason to plan around a hypothetical. If it's cancelled we're fine with the date after the combine would have been anyhow. If its rescheduled then we'll have to figure out what the correct path is if it happens 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
