Rosters have been increased to 40 temporarily to accommodate draft and trades.
New Guy (Joel) is back in the saddle and open for business. I'm delighted to say that this is two years now with no turnover.
So far so luck in locating a new owner. If any of you know of someone who'd like to join us, please put them in touch with me. Thanks - Dave
Trade Approved.
Joel (New Guy) has decided not to return. His roster is available for bid until Saturday March 30 to other owners in the NDFFC.
"The process of taking over an available team will be a blind bid process. Any eligible league owner can submit a blind bid, via email, to the League Commissioner. An eligible owner is defined as one who 1) has paid current year's league fees, and 2) still owns all his draft picks for the current and future years. In other words, any owner who has traded away future picks cannot then swap out for a different team. The minimum bid will be $25 and the highest bid received wins the available franchise. The winning bid amount is due immediately and is in addition to yearly league fees."
In an effort to fill the vacancy quickly, I've put out some local feelers. If that's unsuccessful and I don't encounter opposition from current owners, I plan to change our rules to allow for owners in one conference to become a replacement owner in the other. Details have not been thought through, especially how we'll determine who gets the team. I don't really want to have blind bids involved, but there has to be some mechanism for selection from among all requesting owners. And I don't want this to become a shopping trip, where an owner in one conference tries to upgrade his roster with the intention of dropping ownership of his current team the following year. Lots of things to consider, but the thought process is underway. Chime in if you like. And first come, first serve will NOT be a criteria in the selection process.
Deadline for fees submission has passed. Four teams have not yet renewed. If you have contact with them please remind them.
