CONTRACTION PLAN

Thanks for everyone's feedback. Here is what we are going to do:

1. We will hold a contraction vote the weekend of November 15th-16th. Each vet will vote via email on which newbie manager they would like to see contracted. If there is a tie, we will then revote on the tied parties only to determine who is contracted.

2. We will start contraction bidding following the previously posted contraction process on Monday, November 17th with two rounds per day. Each round will last 6-8 hours (one ending in mid afternoon, one in the evening). Note: Any drafted player may be used in contraction bidding, but they must be on your roster before Saturday, November 16th. Also, you will have the opportunity to bid on players you used in contraction, but you may not use a player you won in contraction bidding to bid on other players during that week of contraction. You get to bid once during each round, so prioritize your targets and make your best bids.

3. If a newbie that is not contracted volunteers, they may adopt the contracted newbie as a co-manager. I will not force this on anyone, it is your option.

4. Contracted newbies from season 1 will have the option of returning for season 2, which will be formed in early December, drafted in mid December, and start scoring January 1st, assuming they were contracted on good terms.

5. This will allow us to have contractions during season 2 as well.

6. Invitiations for next year's league will be based on overall performance and improvement during both seasons as well as availability and returning vet interest (and whoever Commish is if it isn't me next year).

Feel free to ask any questions, but I think this is pretty straightforward.

Newbies, this gives you a week and a half to show us what you got. Good luck.
