| Keeper Leagues Hiatus |
12:08 AM ET on 2/28/13 by Jay Soester |
In an effort to ensure the main competition for the 2013-2014 season, I've elected to put the Keeper Leagues on hiatus until at least the traditional 2013-2014 Fantasy Hockey season, which would fill in the missing gap to the 2012-2013 Keeper Leagues season caused by the NHL lockout.
It wasn't a decision I wanted to make, but it was a decision I had to make. My living situation won't be settled for another month and my job situation is a bit unsettled as well. Those two things combine to make it tough to get a set period of time to work on anything major which is needed for the Keeper Leagues.
I'm having a hard enough time playing catch up as it is and adding the Keeper Leagues to the list of things I'm behind on could jeopardize the current season of the main competition, especially with my time already limited.
Things will pick right back up where they left off when the time comes to revive the leagues.

| Fantasy Hockey Drafts Update |
2:44 AM ET on 1/9/13 by Jay Soester |
I've updated the available Fantasy Hockey draft times to reflect the projected new start to the season, Saturday, January 19th.
Saturday, January 12th at 4:15 PM ET
Sunday, January 13th at 3:30 PM ET
Sunday, January 13th at 5:45 PM ET
Monday, January 14th at 10:30 PM ET
Tuesday, January 15th at 8:30 PM ET
Wednesday, January 16th at 9:15 PM ET
Thursday, January 17th at 9:45 PM ET
& two autopick leagues
Please let me know which league you'd like to be placed in as soon as possible. I've already begun sending out designations. Once you receive a designation, please get into your league as soon as possible to secure your place in one of our leagues. If you need to switch draft times, please let me know as soon as possible and I'll try to accommodate you. I'll begin sending league designations to those that didn't reply to the draft times thread tomorrow. The first draft is just four days away. If you're eligible for a second team, please keep close watch heading into the weekend as I might be giving out a bevy of second teams on short notice this week.
This season will see each of our leagues capped at 12 teams, with no playoffs. That gives game weeks 15 through 25 for a true round-robin. That development means less championship points from the game will be scored than usual, but it's better than no game.
There will be no Keeper Leagues Fantasy Hockey this season due to the short time frame before the season begins and due to the lack of enough game weeks to complete a serviceable season.
I hope to have the Fantasy Golf standings set up as soon as possible on Wednesday. If you aren't already in one of our groups, please join. ID: 830/Password: 123456.

| 2011-2012 Keeper Leagues Championship |
11:00 PM ET on 9/6/12 by Jay Soester |
The results for Fantasy Basketball bring an end to the 2011-2012 Keeper Leagues Championship. I apologize for the delay, there was a problem getting the roto data for the Third Division and I spent some time trying to pull a rabbit out of a hat before ultimately having to give up. Unfortunately, the fix was each Third Division member earning 17 points as their roto total.
Anders Nilsson is this season's winner at 888 points, 11 more than Brad Wilson in second place. Jay Soester finished third with 794 points with David Synychak (770) and Matt Humpal (761) rounding out the top five. Wilson managed to finish second overall despite being a part of the Second Division in Fantasy Football this season; Humpal cracked the top five with the same distinction. Nilsson's total was 31 points lower than Mike Miles' winning mark last season.
Nilsson finished within the top four in points for each game, with two wins, to earn the championship, but he finished second (.953) to Brad Wilson (.993) for the best ratio of anyone in all four games. Wilson was tops in two games and second in his division for the other two. Chad Gumm was third in ratio at .934; he finished seventh overall despite being in the Second Division of three games. Robert Flatt also cracked the top ten despite being in three Second Divisions. Tyson Hester was the best overall finisher of those in at least one Third Division at 13th despite being in two.
I've begun work setting up the Keeper Leagues Fantasy Basketball drafts and bid system. Watch the website for more information.

| Keeper Leagues Football & Hockey Update |
12:23 PM ET on 8/28/12 by Jay Soester |
The results for all four Keeper Leagues Fantasy Football drafts have been entered into Yahoo!. Please remember to set your lineup before the season begins. Unlike with autopick and live drafts, offline draft results aren't turned into pre-set lineups by Yahoo!.
The deadline to submit your players for next season in Fantasy Hockey has been moved back to this Sunday, September 2nd at 11:59 PM ET. Hopefully a lockout doesn't come into play.
I'm also accepting Keeper Leagues Fantasy Hockey bids through the weekend. I hope to begin sorting teams out next week. If you're interested, please submit your bid here. I hope to have Fantasy Basketball sorted out this weekend as well.

| Keeper Leagues Football Player Deadline Update |
6:29 PM ET on 7/25/12 by Jay Soester |
The deadline to select your players, and make pre-draft trades, for the coming Keeper Leagues Fantasy Football season has been pushed back to 11:59 PM ET on Sunday. You can keep up to six players (five if you were relegated) with a limit of two per position aside from 3 WRs. If you have any problems, or don't plan to keep anyone, please let me know as soon as possible. If you don't submit any players for the coming season and I don't hear from you, you're likely to be replaced.
If you're interested in a team, please submit a bid as soon as possible. Use the bid list page to see which teams are likely to be available. If you've already submitted a bid, make sure it's listed among the bids and make sure to update it before I begin determining who gets what team. I plan to start sorting out the bid winners next week with final decisions coming as early as two weekends from now.

| Keeper Leagues Hockey Bids Available |
1:17 AM ET on 7/20/12 by Jay Soester |
With all promoted and relegated teams now sorted out, the Keeper Leagues Bid System is now fully functional for the 2012-2013 Fantasy Hockey season.
Make sure to check the bid list page to see what teams are likely to become available. Those marked at 15% are simply a case of players not being submitted yet, don't focus on them until late in the process. Currently, only four teams (the three marked as Team #) are definitely available, making for some stiff competition amongst bids. It would take at least 18 bidders for me to create a fourth division.
If you have any problems or questions, reply to the drafts thread.

With all promoted and relegated teams now sorted out. The Keeper Leagues Bid System is now fully functional for the 2012-2013 Fantasy Football season.
If you've submitted a bid previously, please do so again. Any submitted before teams were ironed out were useless.
Make sure to check the bid list page to see what teams are likely to become available. Currently, only three teams (the three marked as Team #) are definitely available, making for some stiff competition amongst bids. It would take at least 17 bidders for me to create a fifth division.
If you have any problems or questions, reply to the drafts thread.

| Keeper Leagues Fantasy Football Drafts & Bids |
9:21 PM ET on 5/5/12 by Jay Soester |
The 2012-2013 Keeper Leagues Fantasy Football drafts are now available. You can begin to submit your players to be kept for next season or submit a bid to get yourself a team. The bid system won't be completely sorted out until all promoted and relegated members pick their new teams, you can't currently bid for a team that's marked as "promotionchoice#" or "relegationchoice#" for that reason.
Last season's results are also available.
The deadline to select your new team if you were promoted or relegated last season is this Wednesday, May 9th at 11:59 PM ET. Visit the standings from last season to know where you are in the picking order; if you aren't first, submit your preferences in order.
The deadline to submit your players for next season is July 21st at 11:59 PM ET.
I anticipate the drafts starting in mid-August.
I'm working on the standings for Fantasy Hockey & Fantasy Basketball with the Basketball Rosters Assignment also available.
