All,

Chris has asked me to move the draft back an hour until 2pm CST. If anyone has a problem with that, please let me know asap.

The 2026 schedule has been created, checked, and finalized. 

New rules for 2026. I'm trying to align with the rules from the Shell league. These are the new rules for this league:

1) There will be 2 waiver wires this season. Like last season, the first one will be on Wed 6pm CST. There will be a second waiver wire on Thursday at 6pm CST. That means we will have open free agency at 10 pm CST on Thursday.  The 4-hour wait period for free agency after the waiver wire is mandated by RT Sports.

2) Like in Shell, if you add a player that is already on IR, then you have to have him on your active roster for a week before you can move him to your IR slot. If you add a player that is not on the IR when you pick them up, but they move to IR later in the week, then you can move him to your IR. If you draft a player that is already on the IR, then you also have to keep him on your active roster for one week. As soon as the second week begins on Tuesday, then you can move him to your IR.

Dropped Players:

3) If you drop a player that is on the IR, but you have room on your IR to stash him, then I will revert that player to your IR.  The key being that you have room on your IR for that player. If your IR is full, then it is fine to drop the player.

Our rules allow for players to be added immediately after they were dropped.  If a really good player gets hurt and dropped (Let's say he is out for a couple of weeks, but not long enough for the NFL IR), then he shouldn't be able to be added right away. At my discretion, I will reserve that player to the next waiver wire. Hopefully this is a rare situation.
