2.1 Pandemic Specific Rules
This item will be retired for 2024 assuming we do not have a further pandemic issue. The lasting item from the pandemic is that we moved from 2 IR spots to 3 IR spots last year via league poll. Unless there is an uproar, I plan to keep it at 3 IR Spots permanently.
DONE!
2.2 Normal Offseason Rule Changes
I skimmed through the Message Board and Facebook Threads, and found exactly one mention of a potential rule change: Dev dislikes the Playoff Transaction limit of 7 per week. I will start a separate thread regarding this item to discuss before possibly creating a Poll. UPDATE: based on league discussion, Commish decision made to increase playoff transactions from 7 to 10 per matchup.
I will also start a separate thread regarding a substantial change from last offseason: We moved from 8 playoff spots to 6. I would like feedback on this item. UPDATE: Per league discussion, we will keep this at 6 playoff spots.
If you have any other Rule concerns, please mention it below, and we can start a new poll or thread. UPDATE: No other Rule Concerns brought up.
DONE!
3.1 Offseason Trades & Keepers
As always, you may make trades at any time. However, you may wish to wait until rules are confirmed.
4.1 Draft
Historically, it begins the day after US Labor Day (which is Monday, Sept 4, 2023). We will confirm this soon.
The draft pick tracker is here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ccEmArLYhsdb_vVbIUTX-MA4Nhb8OH_GRyjxUYrrxgU/edit#gid=2
Any rules not explicitly stated here default to the ESPN Fantasy Hockey League Rules, if applicable.
