With the completion of the draft, you can now focus on your Keepers! You do not need to tell me you are keeping your rookies, you will get them unless you specifically say you don't want them.
The Keeper Sheet is HERE. You have $120 to work with. As there is an expansion draft, your keepers MUST be emailed to me by Saturday, August 22nd at 10:00pm Central Time. There is NO leeway. If you fail to email me those by that time, all your players (except rookies) will be dropped, and you will join the expansion draft process. The email to send them to is AltLB.DC@gmail.com. Again, failure to have them to me by that point will result in your players being dropped and you join the expansion process. If you've already sent me your keepers another way, please send them correctly.
Trades are available up until the due date, and both parties must send those to me for council review.
Thank you,
Dan

Alright folks, the keepers are entered. Please review them to verify they are correct. We are currently working this week on the AltFL Expansion Draft as Toronto and Miami will fill out their rosters. They will do so in a serpentine order, with Toronto picking first as they are not owned by the league. This will also affect the regular free agency draft, as Toronto will pick first there, and Miami, as a league-owned team, will select last. Teams earned their draft position based on who has the most keeper budget remaining, with ties going to the team that finished last season better. The full order will be as follows, with their budget used in parentheses after:
1. Toronto Beavers
2. St. Louis Explorers ($59)
3. Los Angeles Sabercats ($76)
4. Birmingham Vulcans ($82)
5. Chicago Cyclones ($87)
6. Carolina Reapers ($98)
7. Utah Raptors ($102)
8. Seattle Steelheads ($102)
9. San Antonio Phantoms ($103)
10. Kansas City Scarecrows ($105)
11. San Diego Destroyers ($109)
12. Philadelphia Brawlers ($111)
13. Boston Nightriders ($113)
14. Orlando Galactics ($114)
15. Dallas Bandits ($115)
16. Kentucky Stallions ($115)
17. Minnesota Voyageurs ($118)
18. New York Emperors ($119)
19. Buffalo Bolts ($119)
20. Milwaukee Mallards ($119)
21. Tennessee Copperheads ($120)
22. Portland Grizzlies ($120)
23. Arizona Scorpions ($120)
24. Miami Hammerheads
There is a ban on roster moves until following the regular draft.

And our next step: determining when the AltFL Draft will be. With Week 1 starting on 9/9/26, the draft will be the weekend before, between Friday, September 4th and Monday, September 7th. Click HERE to fill out the When2Meet before Sunday, August 30th at 10pm Central time.
We did have significant issues with the draft last year on the evening of Labor Day. I'd like to think that Fantrax recognized this and is doing/has done something about that, but... I don't know. If that issue comes up again, I will stop the draft and postpone until the next night, Tuesday at 8:30pm central.

And both teams submitted their Expansion Draft lists, so the Expansion Draft has completed! 37 players were selected until both teams reached the $120 budget. The first pick went to Toronto and then went in a serpentine fashion. Miami added $101 (since they had added Jordan Love for $19 via trade during the rookie draft) and Toronto added $120.
These have been uploaded into Fantrax.
