Fictional Leagues - Draft Date?
Hey folks,
I
asked this a few years back and thought I'd get some updated feedback.
I am setting up a fictional league with leagues at all levels down to rookie, and I use feeder leagues. For simplicity, I would love for the amateur draft to occur before the start of the season, rather than in June, and I plan on my five leagues all starting at the same date. (Too confusing for my old brain to have them all starting at different times.)
So, I set my Amateur Draft to March 25, but when I look at my feeder leagues, they are scheduled to play in April/May.
When do you guys set your amateur draft?
If you set your draft to before the MLB regular season, what, if anything, do you do with your feeder leagues? Do you change their schedules to play some weird schedule like December-February? (I wouldn't be concerned with that - I'm not finicky about the realism of that aspect of things. I just want players to feed smoothly from the feeder leagues to the draft.)
Thanks!
