There are two options that I can set for the private leagues regarding the draft stuff.
The first is how many seasons in advance draft picks can be traded. The default is 5 seasons.
The second option is the approximate date that the draftees will be populated to the draft list. The default is September 1st - so after you have reaced September 1st, that evening the draft list will be populated. I could see how the faster leagues (15 gpd) may want to use something like August 1st or even July 15th for this.
Please get a feeling on what your league wants to do or just make an executive decision. U2U me with your preferences.
For the first draft, all players for private leagues will be populated on May 13th for anybody who has reaced September 1st (or their populate date if they choose something else). If this is really close to the end of your season, let me know if you want a few extra days before the draft to get your preferences and draft pick trades straightened out.

I think seeing this list prior to the trading deadline would be key, and would generate some trading deadline deals.[Edited on 5-6-2004 by DeVeau31]

Tyson, we have taken a vote in the Jackie Robinson league and would like to use July 15th as the display date for incoming draft classes. For the upcoming season which starts today, July 15th will fall on real-life May 13th -- the same day you are scheduled to implement the change. Please let me know if that poses a problem.

After I get all the leagues set up with their proper settings, I will run the code manually the first time which will populate all the Dynasty leagues and any private leagues that have hit their populate dates.
It may take some tweaking to get the date right for some leagues based on how many games per day (ie it might make more sense to use July 12th or something depending on how the schedule goes).

Shouldn't be a problem. Keep in mind that July 15th is the earliest it would be available. The code to populate draft lists will run around 11PM every night. So any leagues that have hit their "populate" date at that time will get players. So if you end the day on July 14th, you won't see the list until the following evening.After I get all the leagues set up with their proper settings, I will run the code manually the first time which will populate all the Dynasty leagues and any private leagues that have hit their populate dates.

For the JR league, July 15th falls at 8:54 AM every season. We are fine with the players not being created until 11:00 PM that evening. In reality, we'll have finished the July 31st games by the time the players are displayed, but that's not a problem.[Edited on 5-7-2004 by Bob]
