CONTRACTION ANNOUNCEMENT

My original plan was to wait until the weekend. I usually stick pretty close to those plans as you have seen, but a few factors have caused me to change my mind and speed up contraction.

1) The discussion on the board over the last two days- this is obviously a hot topic and after considering everyone's feedback, I think the vets are ready to vote and move things forward and I think the newbies are ready to know their fate so they can either leave the league or continue working on improving their teams.

2) KU-Texas on Saturday- We will not have bidding on Saturday due to the KU-Texas football game. I and many others will be at the game and tailgating most of the day. That means we need to get started a little earlier.

HERE IS THE PLAN: I will send out an email to all the vets requesting their vote by 8pm tonight. Once all the votes are in OR we have at least 5 Vet votes to contract one manager (establishing a majority) I will announce who the contracted manager is. I will then remove that managers players to the free agent pool and set up the contraction bidding. The contracted manager will have the opportunity to return for the second season provided they leave here on good terms. I will then lock up their team.

Contraction Bidding will begin tomorrow morning.

Here is the contraction bidding schedule:

Wednesday
Round 1 7am-2pm
Round 2 2pm-9pm

Thursday
Round 3 7am-2pm
Round 4 2pm-9pm

If any further rounds are necessary. We will continue on Monday. All players on a roster as of NOW that were drafted are eligible for bidding. I will repost the contraction bidding process in a separate message.
