Re: Build a Franchise (Season 9) Discussion Thread- Announcement on pg. 56
Apologies to the league. I have received a lot of trade offers that are “out-of-date”. Not sure when Bish will update the trades, but this is my current roster. I will try to keep my Sig updated. BAF has really grown on me. Happy to be here

It'll be fun to see the on-hold deals get unleashed.
I've made a couple of little deals but one relies on whether a certain FA was still unclaimed when it was submitted and I haven't heard back, so it's hard to say exactly what my roster is right now.

I have a feeling there are a few queries on one or two guys.

Re: Build a Franchise (Season 9) Discussion Thread- Announcement on pg. 56
Have had a few inquiries on when transactions will be updated. Figured I would respond here rather than via multiple PMs. The bubble tourney wraps up this weekend. There are still teams alive that are involved with multi team trades which effects other moves. Once these teams are eliminated (or win it all), moves will start to be announced. The latest things will start to move will be Monday, depending on who wins each game.
Power rankings and GM survey are due by next Friday, 11/14. Some teams have submitted their responses already but if you'd like to wait until the weekend to see how rosters shake out that is fine. Also, an update on the sim, wolverine sports has released early access. I plan on purchasing it this weekend and will begin to upload rosters as soon as everything is updated. Opening night will be tentatively scheduled for the week of 11/17. More updates will be given after the bubble tourney concludes this weekend.

What's been unclear to me is when to bid on the remaining free agents. Do we just wait until the tourney is done so everyone has a crack?
Some guys that might have been under the radar prior to the season are... in the radar now.

Yeah Queen has me excited. The coach woke up and started playing him more and they won they last two games largely by him getting playing time.
