Renewal Information & Payment Link
September 03, 2016 at 06:02AM View BBCode
Hello,<BR><BR> You are coming up to the time of your renewal. The 2009 season will be your last full season before renewal. If you could please consider whether or not you are returning and let the league commish know. We now have the ability to track renewal intentions on the game side of the website. If you log into your team, and go to Edit Profile, you can update your renewal status there. You can also see the renewal status for anyone in your league by going to the league info page. This feature is enabled about 21 days before a league reaches the renewal deadline. <BR><BR> Please update your status accoordingly and/or send a u2u to the league commish letting them know whether your returning, not returning, or if you have already paid (including replacement owners who took over a team mid-term). Even if your undecided, we would like to at least get a response from you stating that so we are aware your thinking about it.<BR><BR> Below is the information and a link if your ready to renew now. The renewal cost for this league is $55.00 for the next 5 season term. However, if you renew before Saturday, September 24th, the cost is only $50.00. There is also a chance you could lose your team to an expansion owner if everyone else is ready to go by then. If there is a question or you need an extention on your payment, please send me a u2u to let me know ASAP.<BR><BR> To renew, login to your team and go to the owner tab, and then click on Renewal. This will bring you to a page which will tell you the cost and provide you with a payment link. Once paid your team will be automatically marked as renewed and you can trade picks into the next term. If you have trouble finding it, you can use the following link:<BR> http://www.simdynasty.com/renewal.jsp<BR><BR> Note: You must be logged into your Vida Blue League team on the gameside for this link to work properly. We have recently coded a new renewal process to help automate things. Before, payments and renewal statuses were all searched through and applied manually, which consumed a significant amount of administrative time. We have tested the system out in a several leagues with good success. You can view all the teams which have paid on the league info page. All the paid teams can trade picks beyond the current term. You can now renew at any time in any private/speed league by using the link under the owner-->renewal tab.<BR><BR><B>The Expansion Draft</B><BR>Once a league has a total of 16 paid renewing owners and paid expansion owners, and the OffSeason has run, the schedule for expansion drafts will kick in. You can view the details here:<BR> http://rules.simdynasty.com/index.php/Sim_Dynasty_Game_Guide#Term_League_Expansion_Schedules <BR><BR>Thanks,<BR>Sim Dynasty Administrator

With only 1 expansion team this time around do they just assume the entire team they took over and we don't miss any days or is there some other way it will work out.

Well, it looks like the new owner does not even have control of their team after the offseason ran. Plus the draft did not run at 11:17 Eastern, as I believe it should have. So it looks like we are in for a delay of at least a day or so. Seems like I never know what is going on in this league.
Delay?

If the expansion draft runs in 2 o'clock eastern hour the date moves to 3-26. Hopefully Chris is working this day as other leagues need assistance as well.

Well something happened, since the new owner of the Cleveland franchise has control of their team.

"Expansion owners will have at a minimum of 24-48 hours to prepare for the Expansion Draft. The Expansion Draft script runs every day at 2PM. After the OffSeason runs for a league, the league date is set to 03/25. The first time the Expansion draft script runs, the date will be set to 03/26 if a league has a total of 16 renewed owners and expansion owners. The next day when it runs, the Expansion Draft will run; the league date will remain 03/26. The Amateur Draft will run at the next time slot after that (for most leagues, this will be the next day). If a league has a pause day, that would be in effect after the Amateur Draft. The new season then starts the following day."
Since it is still 3/25 and after 2PM, it appears the Expansion Draft script has not yet run. Therefore, it should run tomorrow at 2PM, setting the new date to 3/26. My guess is the Expansion Draft will then run on Tuesday, with the amateur draft running Wednesday at 11:17 Eastern. Think the new season would then begin Thursday. Yeah, we don't really have an Expansion Draft since we only have one new owner, but the timing probably stays the same. Could be wrong, but that is my interpretation of the rule book.
