Some notes about this schedule. It cuts the time between seasons from 24 to 14 days. It's extremely aggressive because the league has asked for this many many times. Well, we're giving you this shot.

If we find that it makes things too rushed or too difficult , it would get longer again in the future. Perhaps not as long as it was previously, but we will see.

To make this work, regression numbers are already being finalized. GMs were given a small headstart on this information. Work has already been put in despite this being the time when some people tend to relax a bit. So what we expect form YOU is simple. If you're in regression, take care of your numbers quickly. If you're a potential draftee, return your messages. If you're a Free Agent, don't dick the entire league around for an inordinate amount of time *coughJaylonLeecough*.

If you can help make life easier, then this much shorter offseason can work. So buckle up and let's go.

Wait. So S7 ends on the 16th but S8 doesn't begin until the 21st?

@AdamS I've loved this offseason compared with last season's. I hope this can be kept up as it has been much more enjoyable.

Great work everyone involved

It's really sad, because behind the scenes this offseason has been a big rush for people who need to do work in the offseason. GMs, Updaters, Simmers. I hope we can find a happy medium
