if we can get atleast 8 agents by Friday, I will start the draft at 2 pm EST. This will include a draft order and some other stuff that I will post up the next couple of days. Given that alot of players will be "drafted" there will be a good number of rounds in this draft (thinking between 20-30, depending on how many players actually get drafted) since there's only 8 of us (or more) I expect this to go by fast, each agent will have a 30 minute time limit or 10 minutes if the Agent is active online. The quicker we get this done the better. Also for anyone that joins after Friday as an agent will be put at the back of the draft and will be expected to make up the picks that they have already missed. Also just to remind agents this is a snake draft.
Now how does this relate to GM's? Whenever the current Free Agents start getting drafted (Emeka Oakfor,Gerald Wallace etc) you can start sending offers to whatever agent drafted them (You will see a post of which agent has who by that point in time). Agents might want to post in the "Player demands" thread on the FA forum so they can let GM's know how much their player wants to sign for. I will officially start FA probably on Sunday or Monday depending on the draft. Once it's started Agents can start agreeing to terms with whichever GM that player would want to sign for. Remember that this is a 24 hour period and will be going on for 5 days, once the 5th day is up any player deemed "too good for season FA" will go overseas and if that player was drafted by an agent, the agent loses that player for a year and then has to try and claim them back a year later (I will post how in the Agent forum, agents). So agents will want to sell high but hopefully lower their expectations if players don't sign right away.
I do want a full league by the 1st sim, I won't start simming until all 29 GM spots are filled. If all goes according to plan, I will start simming a week after this coming weekend. I want to start the draft and FA soon though just to have something going on.
