Ladies and Gentlemen (mostly ladies),
The long awaited time is near! SSBL 4 will officially be kicking off.
Here's the catch--we've been working as much as humanly possible given our work schedules to make this happen, but there's still a few kinks that need to be worked out: verifying rosters and adding bird rights. I'm willing to post up the roster pages and FAs so that you get a feel for everything. I've done my best to recreate the rosters as they were by about midseason 1998-1999 by looking at basketball-reference.com, but a few things might not be fixed yet: if you see anything wrong, PM me, and we'll get things squared away and make sure the player is on their proper roster.
Rosters are uploading right now-- I always forget to adjust the salary cap in the file, so I needed to re-upload it.
Ray is working on the birds for each player, which will be added tomorrow, so here's what we're going to do: all of you can feel free to talk trades and post trade blocks, but YOU CANNOT BEGIN POSTING TRADES UNTIL TOMORROW (we will specify when it is okay to do so), when we've added the birds.
The kickoff schedule will be as follows (subject to change--if possible I'll do FA Rounds 1 and 2 earlier):
Saturday, June 19, 10:00 PM EST - FA Rounds 1 and 2
Sunday, June 20, 10:00 PM EST - FA Rounds 3, 4, 5
Tuesday, June 22, 10:00 PM EST - Preseason (20 days sim)
Thursday, June 24, 10:00 PM EST - Sim 1 (Days 1-12)
Simming schedule: In general, sims will take place EVERY OTHER DAY. With things like free agency and the draft, we have our own model of scheduling worked out, so to returning members, this shouldn't be a surprise.
Make sure you familiarize yourself with the rules of this league--if you've been in an SSBL before, then you probably know the rules fairly well already. If anything is unclear, ask questions!
SALARY CAPS:
Soft cap: $33,000,000
Hard cap: $56,000,000

From here on out, feel free to send FA bids-- I will have the FA 101 section updated within the hour.
Expect another announcement if the schedule changes!
