Read everything in my first couple of posts. I would not waste my time typing all of this stuff out if it wasn't necessary. Also, I suggest that you Subscribe to this thread in order to stay as informed as possible over the coming weeks. CP is very much appreciated (give it to Berlow). Running this game is a lot of work.
This game is a standing tradition for the last few years, and will continue to be so this year. For new players, you are responsible for GM-ing a team through the draft and trades to make your team better. This year we will be making a number of changes which is why I posting this thread early. For those interested in playing we will be discussing and voting on some minor and major rule changes. On March 1st I will post a new thread for signups. Veterans will get a two day head start and will have the option to retain their team if they were good GMs and made all their picks last year. Otherwise the teams are first come first serve.
I'm not looking for someone to grade this. Grades are subjective and inaccurate and lead to unneeded hostility when it is impossible to accurately grade how a GM does.
I am looking for an assistant as I'm a new commissioner. Veteran GMs are encouraged to apply.
Here are some links from last years game in case any of the new people would like to see how it goes. The rules this year will be similar.

And now for that part that you've all been waiting for, the timeline:
Sign-Ups for returning players: 3/1
Sign-Ups for new players (to fill the vacant GM spots): 3/3 at 12:01am EST (1 minute after midnight)
Sorry JL, you did a good job last year but the GM-ship of the Broncos is going to continue to be a revolving door. You will not automatically be able to return to that team, but as a returning vet you have first priority on any open GM spot. Also, you can throw your name into the Broncos mix if you wish - maybe you'll get lucky again. The GM of the Broncos will be chosen randomly. Anyone interested needs to post so in this thread during the sign-up period. A random drawing will happen on the 10th and the Broncos GM spot will be awarded. A new player will not have the opportunity to GM the Broncos. You must prove yourself worthy first.
***Returning GMs - you must post in the Sign Up thread declaring your intention to return to Team X. I will not automatically assume that you want to play again. Failure to notify me by the deadline above will most likely result in your GM spot being filled by someone else. If you are interesting in changing teams, you must indicate such in your post. Include the name of the team you had last year, and a statement listing the team(s) you'd like to have this year. Hopefully you'll be able to read each other's posts and see which of the other returning vets is interesting in swapping, and then you can work it out amongst yourselves.
***Returning Asst. GMs - You are eligible to sign up for a team during the first window, but you have to sign up for an open team or find an old GM willing to relinquish theirs, since all GMs from last year have first priority on their squad.
***New GMs - At 12:01am EST(1 minute after midnight) on the 3rd, new players can sign up (in this thread) with their order of preference and will be given GM spots on a first come, first serve basis.
Of course, if you are looking to be an assistant GM, then post here in this thread and work something out with one of the returning players. You do not have to wait until the 3rd to sign up for an assistant GM position.
Legal Tampering: TBD
Trading Period: TBD- 3/17
Draft: 3/18-3/25 (32 picks per day)
A Draft Rules/Discussion thread will be created at a later date with more concrete details about the draft. A TBD day trading window is plenty of time to get all your stuff done. Things will start off hot with a lot of action, and naturally taper off before the draft. All trades will need to be Visitor Messaged to me by midnight on the 16th, as that is the final deadline.
ALL OF THIS IS SUBJECT TO CHANGE! But I will try to give everyone ample time to adjust.
FAIR WARNING: If you miss three (or more) of your assigned draft slots, you will be considered an INACTIVE GM. This game is getting more and more popular every year, so if we have people that aren't up to snuff they're gonna get the boot. I think we had 3-4 GMs last year not quite up to snuff, and so they will not be guaranteed a spot as a returning GM.

Potential Rule Changes
2016 1st, 2nd, and 3rd rounders as available trade bait for 2015 Draft Picks only
-This will not carry over to future GM game years
Start our trade period on the 10th with locked free agents or wait 36 hours and start it on the 11th.
Please keep all discussion of the 2015 GM Game in this thread. I would like you to vote on the above two rule changes if you would like to play. On the 28th I will tally the votes and update the rules in this thread and also in the yet to be created Sign Up Thread
