With this being the beginning of The Great Fantasy Hockey League, the first Auctions and Minor League Drafts will be run a little differently.
We will be starting our Auctions on Tuesday April 8th, 2014 at 8:00 am EST. This is 2 days after all the Yahoo Hockey Playoffs for this year will be completed. Another change to the first Auctions held will be that Managers can start a Maximum of 5 Auctions as opposed to the Max of 3 in the Rules.
The Auctions will be on-going until all roster spots are filled, this must be finished by the last Sunday in September before the NHL season begins. For this season, let's say Sunday September 21st, 2014 at 11:59 pm EST. This means that all players you want to put up for auction must be up before this deadline.
The Inaugural Minor League Draft will start on Tuesday April 15th, 2014 at 8:00 am EST. This will give everyone a full week to get their Auctions going and let everyone get used to the Auction process and just focus on that for the first week. The Inaugural MLD will also be 5 Rounds as opposed to the 4 stated in the Rules. The players drafted in the 5th Round of the MLD will follow the same contract guidelines as a player drafted in Round 4.
After the first year of TGFHL the rules will go back to only 3 Max. Auctions Started and 4 MLD Rounds.
As we will not have any Contract Extensions to worry about for the first off-season, the scheduling for everything else will be posted prior to the 2015-16 season of TGFHL.
