I feel like you could take the top 24 players in challenge play with over 200 matches and move on

I’d like to sign up, too.

I think we'll have better participation in the league if people have to opt in. Time to participate can vary for some people.

We’re short a few teams in Dolphins1, but I could not have asked for a better league to be in. Most of the teams wanting to play in the new active league are guys I play with in Dolphins1. It’s full of owners that are very knowledgeable, competitive, and have at least have a plan…..some have very short term plans that can be week to week, or long term solutions with adding young promising players and trading for draft picks. If we run out of spaces in the new league, picking up a vacant team in Dolphins1 would be a great plan B if you want to be in an active competitive league, with the extra twist of taking on a rebuilding project among a group of owners that are active and competitive. There may be some other leagues that have open teams in a very similar league situation.

Ill take one

I’d do it.

I will sign up...

I’m in Dolphins1 and we do have a good core group. I’d be interested in the new league but I sure hope it doesn’t strip the Dolphins1 league, that is, people are adding not switching.

I agree John…. I’m staying and doing both leagues.

Same her John
Lot of this is have another dolphins1 league and be able to draft after playing game knowing how to draft better and design roster better.

I want to add that I am in for the new active league however would like to keep the BILLS1 league i am in...

That’s fine point of this is have a league with active teams cause can’t tell you how annoying it gets when your in a division with active teams and are 9-1 tied for 1st and the division with not teams are 4-6 and in first.
And it’s more fun with active teams which is what makes dolphins1 fun. And by the team season for this league starts the other leagues will be in off season mode.

I would like to keep all my teams in each of my league that I am in. Hopefully they will all fill up one of these days. But we need a league that want 24 GM that will stay for a few years together to make it more fun. when we all sign up in the first league we thought all of the owner would stay together and not drop out but that did not happen so you could not see how you would do from the first year to when you drop out four or five years down the road. the reason the dolphins 1 league has that many owners is because we all join the league to help out when some one drop there team. but there are a few teams that only have 30 to 40 player on there roster and that is way divison has a losing division. so that is way the player that want this to work is to try and fine 24 players that want to stick together for a few years to help make this one of the best game to play in the years to come. I know there is a lot of thing that need to be work out in the game but the player that are the ones that want to add to the game to make it the very best. so when this new league get started we will all work it out in the long run

Agree my hope this league will help with the downtime between seasons and itll keep more people engaged. Kingwood and myself were talking about keeping people engaged and felt like this was the best solution. And my plan is to do a facebook chat like last group since we saw how that worked with dolphins1.

I agree with that. I like to get 24 players and see if there is any way we can work a draft out to make it fun and have it done in three or four days and built a team from bad to worst with all the team staying together for a few years. plus help cdcox make the game I think he has in his mine and we all work to make it that way. But we need players that are willing to make it work.

And the offseason between seasons is where we lost players so I'm hoping this will help eliminate that.

I know the off season is long and there not much to do but there is free agents that are put up each week to help people stay with the game and you can always try to make trade wth other player but half the time they dont what to do it or they dont like the trade. but only a fourth of them with counter the trade. any way we can keep 24 player to I like that so good luck and I know you are in some of the league I in so good luck

This is very true. We found that the group chat helps with trades as well

our league (Bills1) is so ghosted that we have zero trade discussions.....in two years only one coach has sent me a (really bad) trade request. I have sent two WITH NO REPONSE until I figured out over half the league are ghost teams.....

I would like to be in the active league also

I know what you mean. I think more leagues are like that than not tbh. In Steelers1 there's a 10-0 bot team with only 38 players on their roster. I think a lot of owners dip out waiting for the league to initially start (before the veteran draft) and then a bit more ghosted during the extended off-season.

totally agree

I will play

Cdcox Kevin
Any interest in being teams 17 and 18

I'm definitely tempted, but not sure I have the time to do a draft at the moment. I end up spending about 2 hours a day populating my draft board. It would be fun for sure.

Is there a way one of us could help that process?

What if the league started after the SB season so we're preparing for the '23 season? We could throw the rookies in with the initial draft and ride out FA until the next SB season starts. I'm sure you're not the only one who doesn't necessarily have time for a draft right now so maybe that could alleviate the time constriction and help fill out the rest of the league for some other owners

I'll give it a go. Also, I believe tambaberry replied in the CP forum thread. You'll need to confirm this.

Edit: I would also like to remain in my current leagues. Thanks!

So, what do we expect the timing of this to be?

1. We draft soon, and squeeze a season in with 2022 performance, during the 2023 NFL season.

2. We draft soon, but looking ahead to the 2023 Sandbox season (which would be different, because we'd be drafting players not knowing their 2023 performance yet)

3. We wait until after the NFL season, and then draft based on 2023 performance.

My guess is it’ll 2022 season unless majority want to wait until 2023. My thinking was have 2022 season in off season of other leagues so it’ll be caught up with other leagues by time 2023 starts and keeps everyone engaged between seasons. Biggest thing is find 6 more teams.

What ever we do I am in.

I’ll join if we’re starting January or February, based on ‘23 season. I don’t have the time till then.

I’ve been pushing my brother to play Sandbox…..I’d say it’s 50/50 if he’d play with a chance to draft a team from the ground floor. Can I add him to contingent list here? His chances of playing Sandbox by taking over a team are close to zero.

Giving this a Bump hoping we can find the remaining 5 to 6 teams. Ummberto said he was interested in private message. Anybody else. With the other leagues seasons nearing complete this will give you something to do in the off season.

We can probably do it without him if we just found the teams interested in joining.
