Important Details

Roster Submission: August 11th

• Submit your rosters in this thread, do not rely on the league page.

Draft Date/Time: Sunday, August 25 @ 7:00 pm EST
Trade Deadline: Saturday, November 9th

Important Rules:

1. Your Raptors Republic name must be your team name.
2. The league decides the outcome of all trades. I only ever use veto power if both parties involved request the trade to be cancelled.
3. Dead teams won't get invited back next season and may be replaced mid-season if a suitable, willing replacement is found.
4. Initial waiver priority is determined by the outcome of the draft order; top draft pick in round one has the lowest initial waiver priority.
5. Keepers are to be decided at the end of the season. Each team gets five "keeper tags". A "keeper tag" allows you to mark a specific player on your team to carry over to next season. Maximum of five keepers per team.
6. For every keeper tag you choose to use you forfeit a draft pick, starting with round one and working back to round five.
7. Draft order is to be determined based on three aspects:

• Round one picks 1-4 order is determined by a lotto based on the NBA lotto, linking our inverted standings to the actual NBA lotto results.
• Lotto odds for each team:

Team 1 > 14.0%
Team 2 > 14.0%
Team 3 >14.0%
Team 4 > 12.5%

• Round one picks 5-8 are determined by the inverted standings
• The rest of the draft is snaking format (ie: the team who picks 1st in round one would see his picks as follows: 1, 16, 24, 40, 48, 64, etc.)

Pretty happy with my team especially considering I went in with 0 keepers. A lot will depend on my two holdouts Zeke and Melvin Gordon, but I think I’ll be tough to beat regardless this season

[Apollo]

Well I gave myself a nice little handicap by missing the first 15 minutes of a draft I opted to only keep one player but I'm liking what I did after finally showing up.

Getting David Montgomery and Josh Gordon with my first two picks when I entered was a good start.

[tucas]

I have a glut at RB if anyone’s looking to unload a WR

[Apollo]

Good luck to everyone. One FULL decade. Wow, we're getting old boys.

Missed the first half of the draft, was doing an in-person draft at the same time. I'm OK with my team, but the system made some picks I definitely would have made differently (eg. Damien Williams pick 1 in Rd 4 with top-10 WRs still on the board??).

GL everyone.

Guys, this will be my last season as commish and I'm also leaving the league. It's been a fun ten years but I'm out at the end of the season. I'd like to pass the torch. Do we have any takers?
