I probably won't be entering teams over Mothers Day weekend, and I'm probably not the only one, so I assume the deadlines are pushed back?

I’m thinking of pushing it out a few days, maybe to next Wednesday? I want to try to keep the final deadline if at all possible though.

That would be OK with me, I've got a couple teams basically done, I just won't necessarily be around to enter the league numbers over the weekend.

Have league IDs been posted yet?

No. Once red finalizes his rosters and confirms commish rosters, everything will be set up and posted.

Hopefully they'll all be up by Sunday. I've started sending my rosters to be verified by a non-participating owner. I'm also still finalizing a couple of them.

The 300K exception is allowed for the 70M theme. From the rules on page 1...

300K exceptions: You can use players from any team from your chosen season who cost $300K or less to fill out any needed roster spots or replace players you can't afford to roster.

Remember that you don't have to use every player on your selected roster. You can cut all the overpriced deadweight, and replace them with <300K players (from the same season).

For the 70m league... after we swap our 2 players, can we swap other players for players under 300k to fit under the cap??

Yes, you can use as many sub 300k players (from the same year as your team) as you need.

Schwarze beat me to it. But let me add, for clarity, the full/partial season requirement only applies to the players from your selected roster. Any of the <300k scrubs or your two free agents can come from a combined season if desired.

Got it.... thx guys

$100 Million - 12 Boxes
To build your roster, choose one player from each of the 12 boxes and one player from each of the 12 rows (i.e., you must draft one player each from the rows OF1, OF2 & OF3, not two players from OF1). Then use one teammate from each of your 12 players from the season you select for them. Your 25th player will be a second teammate from one of your players. (None of your teammates may be a player that appears in any of the boxes).

(In Round 2, you will have to use different players from every box to build a 120M team. This restriction will not apply to teammates.)

This theme alone may cause me to quit the tournament

the 1920-1980 restrictions ruin the theme imo

thats All I’ll say

Interesting. I probably spent the second-least time on the boxes theme, actually. I built one version, saw a couple areas I could improve it, built V2 and just went with it. Now, they might suck, I'll grant you ... but it didn't vex me like the 70M did.

I actually thought the 1920-1980 restriction was the best part of the theme! I use players from 1930-1959 so rarely that finding useful seasons was a unique challenge and forced me (mostly) away from cookies. This was true of the $110m theme as well.

This theme was hard, no question, but I really enjoyed it. If any theme were to drive me away it would have been the $70m theme, but that's why I stopped at the first reasonable option I came up with.
