Welcome to Your New Team

You’ve probably seen that your team has been drafted and we're ready to go for the 2010 season.

You also may be a bit frustrated with your team and want to trade players. Yahoo has a trade block, but it can be a bit overwhelming or confusing and you can’t write notes to would-be trade partners

So, starting soon, you'll be able to email me with your various trade proposals where I can put them up for the league to see and respond. You’ll be able to add notes, request certain types of players, whatever you need to build your team. I hope this will increase league participation and help to facilitate trades that benefit all teams involved.

Also, if you have’t already, subscribe to The Happier Family by email or grab the RSS feed. This will ensure you receive the latest news from around the league.

Draft Day

Draft status to “Ready” on March 28th

Draft Day is fast approaching so get your keepers in today. Last year, there was a bit of tension with regards to when the keepers were announced. So this year, there is a deadline of THURSDAY MARCH 25th to e-mail me your keepers. I will post everyone's keepers and you may then review who everyone picked. If you wish to make changes to your keepers, you will need to send me your revised list by Saturday, March 27th. However, in order to have any keepers, you must send me at least one player to keep by March 25th.

Check your position in the draft here.

Check the rules for keepers here, but basically, you get 5 keepers this year. You will retain your keeper during the same round you picked them up last year.
