Draft Day begins this Saturday, January 17, 2026 at 7am.
I am stoked in regards to the amount of players that joined this fledgling league. Thank you!!!
I have to preface my request by saying that I was one of the worst, if not, the worst, offender of what I'm asking you nicely not to do. I have learned my lesson since then and have become more observant of Draft Day etiquette. There is nothing written in stone about this but please, for everyone's sanity on Draft Day, please follow this one rule.

DRAFT DAY REQUEST: Please, do not change the names of the players until the draft is completely finished. This will prevent owners from wasting precious draft time scouring their cheat sheets, draft class sheet, etc., to find the player you chose and changed the player's name.

I know some of you veteran players, are probably laughing right now, remembering my irritating habit of changing the name of a player right after I picked them. At the time, I didn't realize how frustrating that was until it happened to me since then. Thank you for the lesson learned, vet players!!

****Note: if this should happen, please check the weight, height, of the player chosen to that of the player on the draft class site.
Thank you for your co-operation in this matter.

I'm requesting nicely that, anyone who has changed names of drafted players, please change them back to their original names.
Your cooperation would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

I have the ability, not so much the "power" to change my player's names like some of you do. I choose not to because it's my own rule and I should be the one to set an example, out of respect for the newer owners who may be struggling to find the given names let alone figuring out the name that was changed, and respect for everyone in the league.

I will not push this as it was a request. However, remember, when you change a name early, it makes it more difficult for the newer owners to find out which players were actually taken.

Question: on my Transactions page, actual transactions since the draft are not showing - I've signed several players to round out my roster, and they're all there, its just...nothing shows under Transactions other than draft picks. I've checked the edit function and nothing has changed, so is this a glitch? Anyone else noticed this?

They actually *do* show, they're just not in the same place as you're used to. The newest transactions are jumbled up and they're on lower pages. I had problems with this as well. Also, now that the draft is over, it's all right to rename your players
