Well, that didn't quite work out as planned

Next time......

What did happen is that I screwed up my back-up file location and didn't rename it properly and when I reached a point that I wanted to go to the back-up, the auto save was on top of it.

I could mess around with it for another hour, but I will just take what happened as what happened and continue on.

What happened was that the released players from the contraction teams were joined in the free agent draft by the rookies scheduled to be drafted a few days later. I wanted to have the Free Agent draft immediately so teams could do their rookie draft based on who they picked up from the contracted teams. After I had manually entered the draft order from the lottery, it executed based on the rookie draft order.

Then, Nov 1 rolls around and another rookie class is generated, and drafted. So, we had a double draft plus the contraction draft.

Lesson learned, if you want to contract and do a free agent draft, I recommend performing the rookie draft, then contracting and then doing the Free Agent draft.

This isn't a league killer, by any stretch. I just look at it as a hiccup in the talent and will see what sort of impact this has on the Hall process.
