    Just checked the settings of league.
    Free Agent Auction can't be turned off in the middle of the week, so it's either that or waivers.

    EDIT: I can however change the auction process time to process and hour or two before kickoff Sunday to that everyone has time to put in last minute bids if necessary

    That would mess up people that don't have time to set their lineup that close to kickoff.

    I sort of forgot about the auction part of the drafting from the waivers. If the auction ended on Sunday morning, that would probably help.

    Before put this up for a vote, wanted to see if the proposed change to change waivers to Sunday morning would suit rather than putting it to a vote to back to pure waivers?

    11am EST is the earliest I can put the waivers to (which would be 4pm GMT, 2 hours before first kick-off)

    Specifically asking guys who support the vote: adrian522, Raoul, linebacker52, guns4all

    That's grand with me too. Are we definitely staying with ESPN or will there be a vote on that too?

    At least 3 people have requested it, so there will be a vote

    EDIT: Have put a poll up on the league page and emailed all league members.

    Need a majority of league members to approve any change

    No other changes suggested so far, so just going ahead with this one for the moment

    Looks like we're staying on ESPN lads, 9 votes for it already.
    Couple of housekeeping things:

    1. Any other suggestions for rule changes, put it up and if anyone agrees with it thank the post. Three people supporting something will get it put to a vote.

    2. Can giffney1991 (Empty Empty) and shoutman (BFL No Show's) change their team names please?
    Put those in last year when they had no owners, and know some people were confused by it. Thanks

    3. Have put up a poll for the draft date soon enough, will have days from Mon 25 Aug up to Thu 4 Sep.
    Earlier we sort this the better so people can try and arrange to be available if possible. The auction really is good fun, and don't want a repeat of last year where guys who missed it were unhappy with their auto-picked teams and didn't bother doing anything in the league (subsequently kicked out and not particularly welcome back).
    Put your boards username as name for the poll so can keep track of who needs to complete it

    Are we sticking with 16 team?

    I think we should, after what happened last year. If there are extra people looking to get in, then they can take the place of drop outs. I think that works better than extending to 18 and then having some no shows on draft night.

    Have 18 teams at the moment.

    If there's anyone that wants to drop out for any reason then I will remove them. Until shown otherwise, have to assume that everyone who has signed up wants to play and will do so.

    Once draft date is confirmed will message everyone who cannot make the date and get them to confirm they are still committed.

    Looking to setup another fantasy league with 0.5 PPR and 6 point passing TD's among other oddities.

    Post here if you are interested, I'd prefer the league to have regular's from here or the AF forum so as to minimise the risk of inactives...

    Rob,

    Just to let you know that myself and Dave are gonna drop out. We don't think we will have the time to give the team it's proper management and after last season, we didn't wanna leave you stuck with a cpu team.

    Thanks, and best of luck to everyone
