We will hold the draft on Saturday, March 24 this year, promptly at 9am pacific (12 noon eastern).

I am thinking of moving the draft back to March 31st and not counting the two games in Japan toward the stats. That will put us drafting 5 days prior to the real opening day. Thoughts?

I say use those games they should count.Not fair that anyone would not get points for any games that are played.We never worried about this before so do not change now.
This could set bad precedent as excuses down the road that a team lost out on so and so points and got a weekly loss or a wild card spot for a few not using a games worth of points.[look how close wild card and division races are!]
I would hate not counting any games ever..

Yeah I get the not losing stats thing. But I also HATE the whole opening in Japan and like the thought of completely discounting it. Also, the later draft means less chance of a spring training injury to a player that was drafted. We'll see how the vote shapes up. What do the rest of you think?

I personally don't consider it Opening Day until they take the field here. I don't like that we open the season in another country, it is America's Pastime after all. If they want to play a series anywhere else I don't think it should be the opening series. Just my .02.

I see two different issues, the draft day and the Japan games:
Draft day - I prefer March 24. We spend a lot of time preparing for the draft, and after all that I like a little time to figure out my team. I would prefer to have an extra week before the season. I really would like to draft even sooner rather than later. Of course, the other factor is that I was looking forward to having the March 24 draft on my birthday.
Of course, the Commish needs to find the time/date that would maximize the number of owners participating. In this light, if moving to March 31 is the only way to accomplish this, so be it. But if it is simply a preference or anti-Japan thing, I prefer March 24.
In terms of whether the games in Japan count or not, I really am indifferent. If we draft early enough I would like to include them, but if that is not possible so be it.

good point about having a week to assess the team before the season starts.With injuries and the new pickup rule we need that week to possibly field a lineup since ALWAYS the 1st month a lot of guys start on extended spring training....so guys lets do it on the 24th!

As of right now, 8 have voted and there is 1 either-way. I will close this poll at midnight tomorrow night... so hopefully Jeff, Cas, and Norm pop on and vote by then.

Commish - I assume that you will be renewing the league soon with CBS. Their Valentine's gift to the league was apparently locking it to all access until payment is made. Related to this, when is payment due to you from each team? Also, do we still have a per transaction fee or does the change in waiver rules change that?
Looking forward to the season. Is March 24 the official draft date now?
