Winter Meetings 2034

[Board of the PEBA]

The 2034 Winter Meetings will be held this Saturday, January 15, at 11am PT/2pm ET, in the Slack Winter Meeting channel. Be there or be square…

Friday evening (August 6), midnight ET, 9pm-ish West Coast time, will be the cut-off for the 2034 CP Season - so any writing you plan on getting credited for needs to be in by then. Those of you in my time zone, I may give you a little wiggle room… It is also the deadline for naming your Minor League Players of the Year… Friday's sim is also the last chance to set ticket prices and your Scouting and Development Budgets - so be sure to set those before then.

After Today's sim (January 14) sim, I would prefer that we keep all trades consummated under wraps until Saturday - there's already a few in the hopper, unless there is a real reason for posting sooner. Please see below the trade protocol for Saturday. Feel free to send those to us early, if you want to get them in the que early. Of course, feel free to hold back any trade at this point - thats your choice! Note that some of our trade restrictions are lifted during the Winter Meetings - refer to the Constitution for details.

After our Meetings, we will sim ahead and post a new League file on Saturday afternoon/evening. Next week's sims will be offset to Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday.

Winter Meeting Trade Protocol
If you have a trade, please PM Dylan, me and your trade partner in a joint Slack message with a properly formatted trade notice. We will need the trade partner to the reply to in the same Slack thread for a trade to be final. I will announce the trade to the group in Slack - at which point, the two GMs can post in the Completed Trade forum as usual.

Rule 5 Draft
Be aware that the last chance to roster any Rule 5 players before the Rule 5 draft is 5pm Tuesday, January 18 - your export for that day’s sim. Keep this in mind - you have just your Tuesday export to roster those players (marked with a #), and that includes eligible players you may have acquired in a Winter Meeting Trade. After Tuesday’s sim, and before Thursday’s, you can create your draft lists in-game - but you must have an open 40-man roster spot to draft a player.
