There are five options that you can choose from (Managers is still a work in progress).
Rants – We have the ability to posts rants on the website that each of the managers can respond to.
Whether it is about a certain player, or news of players falling flat on their faces and you want to slam
one of the managers (keep it clean though). It is all in fun. When you click on the link, you will see a list
of all the rants/responses that you have posted. You have the ability to Edit/Delete them as well. To add
a rant, simply click on the “Add a Rant” link.
You will be display a Rant form to enter in your Rant. You will have the date and your team number
automatically populated. All you need to enter is the Title of the rant and your message. (Delete the
“Enter Rant here” default message. Yes, some people actually leave it in!!). The click the “Add Rant”
button.
Bulletins – We have a bulletin board where you can post things like players you may have available for
trade, or if you have a new phone number or if you want to invite the guys over to watch a game. The
bulletins functionality is basically the same as the Rant page with the same screen shots.
Free Agents – Free Agents cannot be picked up until 8:01 on Monday evening (Always). There is a
running clock on the Free Agent pickup page that will date/time stamp your request. If your selection
shows up before 8:01 for the new week, you will need to resubmit your pick. To pick a free agent , click
on the Free Agent link. You will have the following screen display. During the year, you will see a list of
the free agents that you have selected. To select a free agent, click on the “Add a Free Agent” link.
The detail Free Agent selection web page will display. Follow the instruction below.
Trades – Here is where one or the other managers who participated in the trade will enter the details of
the trade. To add a new trade, click on the “Add a Trade” link.
The detail Trade screen will be displayed. The screen is split into two sides, one for each team of the
trade. You need to enter in the team number making the trade and the player name, team and position
(or draft pick) for each side of the trade. There is a maximum of five players/picks that can be involved in
a trade. The team entering the trade will have their team number defaulted in the Team #1 slot. Make
sure you enter in the Team #2 number. Enter in the player name, pos. and Team on each side. If there is
a draft pick involved, just enter in the words 2nd Round Pick in the Player Name field. Click Add Trade.
GM Contact info – You have the capability to update your own contact information. If your phone
number or email changes, you can update the information here. It will automatically be updated on the
web page. Click on the “GM Contact Info” link. Click on the Edit link beside your name.
Your detail GM information will be displayed. Just update your information and click “Update GM Info”.
Managers – I am currently working on the web page which eventually allow managers to get a complete
look at their team, trades, free agents, where you are in the standings, and a list of all of your GL
transactions and a total of how much your outstanding balance is. I will be working on this over the
winter and will hopefully have it up and running this year.
