Due to the lateness in the month, and the fact that not everyone has checked in yet, we are pushing back the schedule of events. The new schedule is:
Now until 4/15: Voice your opinions on the "2003 Rule Change Proposal" thread. At that point, I will formalize the proposals and submit them for a vote.
By 4/24: Submit your RFAs. I belive we do not want to post these in public for strategic reasons, so you can submit these to me, anytime between 4/1 and 4/24 at
briangiel@hotmail.com (my RFAs are already set). I will post the RFAs on the web site on 4/24.
5/1 through 5/31: RFA bidding. This is shorter than last year, but we had extra time last year so this shouldn't be an issue. Remember, there is a 72 hour waiting period for RFA matches at the end of the month, so the last time to place bids will actually be 11:59 pm, 5/28.
6/1-We will begin the rookie draft.
72 hours after the Rookie draft is completed, the UFA period will open, and be open until 8/15, when in season free agency begins.
If anything is unclear, please let me know.
