2017 Discussion Thread

[mstreeter06]

We have finally finished our longer and unique offseason to reach the beginning of Spring Training 2017! I appreciate everyone's patience through the offseason as we saw the league grow from 16 franchises to 20 franchises.

The 2017 season will be our 5th season as a league and I'm so excited about this season and the seasons to come. The AFBL will be a different looking league as it has added 4 expansion teams and had 2 teams relocate. The league moves from two leagues of two 10-team divisions to two leagues of two divisions of 5-teams.

We will also celebrate our 5th season with a single-season of interleague play.

AFBL also implements their High School and College feeder leagues as their Amateur Draft Pool fillers. The league also will begin this season starting on Opening Day 2017, minor league level roster size maximum limits. Any necessary cuts need to be made by Opening Day!

Do we get Ron Pratt back after he's completed his 2 year mormon mission?

League will discuss. Would his mission be over after this season?

And what about Tim Francis?? Ivan Klasnic had two kidney transplants and he is still playing soccer

Nah, after next season I believe.. assuming it was a 2 year mission.

[mstreeter06]

Remind me toward the end of the 2nd year of his mission .

I have the HTML Reports and Statslab updated.

Things are not quite 100% with the website and everything but we're close to back to normal. My apologies for the slowness and any timeouts this afternoon/evening.

We'll begin Spring Training on Monday at 6am CT!

In the game I cant download the new file. Is that normal or is just me?

I had Pete (GA) tell me this. I'll upload a new one. I'm guessing the update file on the server is corrupted or partial during all the fun yesterday. Sorry guys!

[mstreeter06]

I uploaded a new file if you want to try that.

[mstreeter06]

We will push the 1st half of ST sim to Wednesday with all our problems yesterday with the site and now a few GMs having download issues. I want everyone to have plenty of time to set their rosters and get their games ready.
