| 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.

| Keeper Leagues Fantasy Baseball Last Call |
2:45 AM ET on 2/28/12 by Jay Soester |
I will accepting updated bids through 11:59 PM ET on Tuesday. At that point, whatever you've given me will be what I base my decision on. To this point, two teams have been given out and another bid winner has been contacted.
I've updated the bids list to reflect the availability of each team. Many were unaware of Mark Yothers' team's availability when bidding and I'm trying to give everyone a fair shot as a result.
If you haven't bid yet, but would like to, please read the bid introduction page before submitting your bid. If you have any questions please ask me as soon as possible.
If you've already got a team and haven't joined the league on Yahoo! yet, check your inbox for the league ID and password. They were sent over the weekend.
Tentative Draft Start Times:
Premier Division: Thursday, March 1st at 6 PM ET.
Second Division: Monday, March 5th at 6 PM ET.
Third Division: Thursday, March 8th at 6 PM ET.
Fourth Division: Saturday, March 3rd at 6 PM ET.
Unfortunately, there's a 50/50 chance of the fourth division draft being pushed back due to the bids not being sorted out until three days before the draft. Monitor your inbox for any changes.

I've had to push back determining the bid winners to this weekend or early next week as I try to get a Newsletter out first. I've updated the bids list page to reflect the likelihood of each team being available. Eight teams are definitely available for the 11 bidders with another three potentially becoming available. It's not too late to update your bid or submit a new bid. If you're clueless as to what I'm talking about, read the bid introduction page.
The league IDs and passwords for our main competition aren't likely to be sent until next week. This message was for our Keeper Leagues.

| Assignments Available |
6:07 PM ET on 4/21/11 by Jay Soester |
I'm short on time as I look for a job, prepare for a job and work on various items on the website. I need help getting some of the more short-term pieces of work done as I work on long-term items and have an alternative assignment for those not capable or interested in the first two.
To sign up for any of the assignments, follow the assignment's link to the message board and reply to the thread with what you'd like to do. The first post of the thread will have more information about the assignment as well.
The Standings Assignment involves helping gather standings data for me so I can build the various standings pages for the main competition, Keeper Leagues and ASASFL. There are 112 bonus points available to multiple members via the assignment.
The Keeper Leagues Roster Assignment involves sorting out the final rosters from the three Keeper Leagues games not currently running so I can set up the draft pages for each division. The Standings Assignment needs to be finished before the non-football rosters are available to finish. Twenty-one bonus points are available to multiple members via the assignment.
The final assignment is a Writing Assignment. I'm looking for around a handful of members to write about ASFL2-related and sports-world related topics in an effort to create more content on the website, save me some time in writing periodically about league happenings, break the monotony of my name on the front page, and generally create some interest on the league website. For now I'm merely seeing who is interested and will figure out how bonus points are handled in the future.
Remember that assignments earn bonus points, which factor into the final championship standings. The first two seasons have seen a limit of 52 and 62 bonus points factored into the final championship standings. This season projects to have around 75 points due to the percentage allowed being upped from 10% to 12% with the loss of Salary Cap Football from the official game list. The 2011-2012 season could see the percentage upped again if either the NBA or NFL season is lost. All bonus points earned through these assignments will go toward the 2011-2012 season.
