The roster reserves spots have been increased temporarily increased for the offseason.  You will have to be at 40 or under (25 active and 15 reserve) by March 24th.  If you're over you'll need to demote y2y1 or y2y2 players, or player players on waivers to get under by the deadline.

Commissioners Office / 2024 Schedule
Last post by Columbus Wild - October 30, 2023, 09:20:47 AM
2024 Schedule
December 31st - 2024 Check In
December 31st - Fantrax Fees Due (Once a team is paid the transaction hold will be lifted)
January 21st - Roster Decisions
February 5th - Free Agency (Matching)
February 12th - Free Agency (Pitchers/Catchers)
February 19th - Free Agency (Hitters)
March 24th - Active Rosters must be reduced to 40 (25 man active and 15 reserves)
March 24th - Off Season Free Agency Closes
March 28th - Opening Day
April 8th - MLFAD Starts
August 5th - FYPD - Tentative (Monday after signing deadline)
August 15th - Trade Deadline
Regular Season Ends after week 21

This is the 2024 schedule.  This is close to last years but there are some changes.  The check in and Fantrax fee payment will be first on the agenda before any other league business. If you don't check in and pay by 12/31 your team will be considered open and we'll fill it before offseason business.   Trading will not be permitted by teams until they pay their 2024 Fantrax dues. 

Also, inflation has hit Fantrax, the cost per team is now $6.50 (+ processing fee) as Fantrax raised the price of the premium league in 2024.

You are free to check in, pay and post your rosters decisions early if you desire.    Roster decisions will be tentative until the deadline.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Forced callups have been processed. Please check your rosters for and let me know if you see any errors. 

I'll post the tentative 2024 schedule in the next few days along with the 2024 check in thread.

Y2y contracts should all be updated for 2024.   Working on forced call ups now.

Once contracts are all updated, I'll post a league schedule and check in and we get rolling!

Let me know if you see any errors.

2023, y2y6 and FR2023 contracts have been dropped from rosters.  I am currently working through the y2y progression updates.  After that I'll process forced callups. 

I've also created the 2024 roster declarations forum.  Feel free to post your thread.  All decisions will be tentative until the final deadline (which is still to be set).

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!
