That would be me. I had no idea it wasn't allowed (I can swap them back if it's not allowed).

Just wait for the dictator to set the rules, he'll switch everything back it was against the rules. ;)
I can see the positive with having such a deadline rule in place. Top teams that released good injured or slumping players for a short term success feeds the draft some extra players, indirectly evening out the teams a bit.

Yeah, we don't do that in this league. I had forgotten to lock the settings.
No big deal. I moved them back.

Sorry for not having this as a clear rule!

One question though. People have began to get players from the FA in the offseason already, are we allowed to this year?
Beaten in the final again! Ahhh! Another good year, any news on potential replacements, a little more activity would make the league 100x more fun!

Congratulations Surahammar! Them goalies did me in, but there were so many categories that could have changed on that final day!

Maybe it is time to start looking for who is and will be active already? So we maybe could start the search for new guys early on.

I've totally forgot about the fantasy league. The trophies needs to be assigned as well.
I will be around to run it (it doesn't take very much effort)

Cool! Last time I checked the league website it was under maintenance

Turns out it's Stinson that needs to do the activation. He is the one who created the league and for some reason can't leave it

EDIT: I found a way to activate the league myself!

Is there anybody quitting? It would be nice if we could prepare to fill open spots a couple of weeks before the draft.
