Sorry, the draft time noticed dropped while I was packing to be out of town for the weekend. The draft time and order are now set up properly. I'll get to doing the schedule some time later this week.

I'll get to doing the schedule some time later this week.

L1 schedule is now done, using the schedule maker spreadsheet from 2016 and the teams indexed 1 to 12 via going top to bottom using the lists in this post. Now you all can review who you're playing when and load up your drafted roster's bye weeks to be weighted toward someone you think will suck!

Everyone's scheduled should be set up so they play the teams in their division in Weeks 1 through 3 and Weeks 12 through 14, going through teams in the same order both times. Weeks 4 through 11 should be one game each against the other eight teams you don't share a division with. If anyone reviews their schedule and sees that it is not set up this way, please let me know.

Spoiler: Rules Poll Results

• Number of IR slots: two wins with 11 of 15 votes.
  
• Allowing mutual pairs in divisions wins 10-4.
  
• Status quo for seeding wins 15-1.
  
• Six playoff teams in a ten-team league wins 9-6.
  
• Four playoff teams in an eight-team league wins 11-3. (Gamma it's your call how you want to handle this, since it'll probably make the schedule uneven.)
  
• Four promoted teams in a ten-team league wins 10-5.
  
• Promoted teams in an eight-team league was roughly tied at 6 votes for four, 5 votes for three, and 6 votes for two. I'm going to take the middle option and three teams from an eight-team league will be promoted.
  I'll make another post with my proposed pro/rel order.

Pursuant to this, I have double-checked L1 league settings and confirmed that:

* Teams have

two

IR slots.
* The playoff field is

six

teams.

The rest of the poll results are about things that are not handled via commissioner tools.

You're right, I did miss that. I will then also confirm that I have not touched the Playoff Reseeding option or the Playoff Seeding Options option.

Transparency announcement: It was brought to my attention that the L1 league settings had "Allow Draft Pick Trades" set to "Yes". This means that teams making trades this season could include picks in the 2024 draft. Since L1 has never voted to approve mid-season trades involving next-season draft picks, and the nature of our relegation system means that different teams are leaving and entering the league every year, I have set this option to "No".

Lord I am extremely ready for this losing streak to end

Gambled with waivers and lost x( This is what I get for not staying up until 3:30 AM

[Kilgamayan]

Honestly pretty shocking that, for how much parity there's been in this league up to this point, this week more or less locked in the Top 6 and the Bottom 6 (barring an all-world game from Christian Kirk tonight keeping Superbowl afloat). It's still mathematically possible for a 6-7 team to overtake a 7-6 team but it would require a hell of a Points For jump.

[Kilgamayan]

tbh I have no idea why you're that dead-set on holding onto Allen Lazard, but you're 12-1 and I'm not, so

[Kilgamayan]

The two games in the first round of the L1 playoffs were decided by 1.44 points and 0.06 point. Playoff football, so exciting!

Playoff semis are Pablito @ D3f and myself @ Pooky, with LLD and Kdowns the tough-luck eliminations. Relegation-dodging semis are peg @ Superbowl and Talitha @ Poker, with peta and Yiley eliminated. Subplots include Pooky looking for revenge for the Leonard Fournette trade last year, and the relegation foretold in this post not coming to fruition.

GOOD LUCK POOKY
