Eligibility:
You must take is seriously and be able to meet all given timelines and actively participate

Must be a “regular” Board Member in good standing

Our friends that are fans of other teams may participate as long as they meet the other requirements

I will limit the membership to no more than 16. If we get more I will solicit other long time participants to help me with the cuts. I will not GM a team if we reach 16 or more folks that wish to participate.  It is not personal and feel free to organize an “unofficial’ mock (I will gladly participate); as we had them on the mothership from time to time.

Execution:
We will draft 3 rounds in 2 nights

If you are interested nominate yourself in this thread and list 3 teams you would like to draft for. I have always been able to give someone at least one of their desired, but I cannot promise. The deadline to nominate yourself is 4/8/2016 at Midnight EDT.

I will take the weekend to sort through and post the GM-team list on 4/10/2016

On 4/11/2016 a separate trade thread will be open, where teams can talk trades and then the trade window will open from 4/13/2016-4/16/2016

Big Boards will be due to me via PM on 4/21/2016. I will talk more on these later in the process

I will propose 3 different draft windows that we will vote on. I will list them by my preference, but I am here to serve.
Proposed Date 1) RD 1 4/26/2016………….2/27/2016 Trade Day……….RD 2 4/28/2016
Proposed Date 2) RD 1 4/25/2016………….2/26/2016 Trade Day……….RD 2 4/27/2016
Proposed Date 3) RD 1 4/22/2016………….4/23/2016 Trade Day……….RD 2 4/24/2016
**Vote in the Poll**

Bengals: Will be awarded to BengalHolic unless he declines; after all, if not for him we may not have a home

Positions Needed:
Trade Commish(s): I need two people to volunteer to validate trades. Only one must approve each trade, but they will each have veto power. If one is involved in a trade the other adjudicates and I will reserve the right to veto. If both are involved in a trade I will adjudicate and assistant Commish will veto. These people will be responsible to create/monitor the trade thread in this forum

Assistant Commish: I need 1 person that will pick up the ball should I drop it and possibly assume duties as Commish in the future.

Board Support: I need at least 2 people to create/facilitate various threads as needed, This will include a chat thread on draft night, a separate picks thread on draft night, and perhaps a couple more as needed.
If you are interested in helping PM me and I will announce positions as they are filled.

If you are a long time participant chime in and let me know if I have missed anything. Also feel free to post any thoughts ideas you have be you a regular or a first timer.

I have no interest in drafting, but my hat is off to Bfine for the changes for 2016 as it appears he has been all inclusive to all members including our rival AFCN fans. Have fun everyone.
