2029 Schedule
Posted: Mon May 06, 2019 3:06 am
Fri. June 21 - Spring Training begins. Rosters will expand and anyone on the 40-man roster will be auto added to the active roster. You may also invite minor leaguers for a look-see.
Wed. June 26 - Spring Training Sim 3 revels the upcoming Draft Pool.
Fri. June 28 - The end of Spring Training. Your exports out of this file will require you to have your 26-man roster - and your AAA and AA rosters, set for the opening of those seasons. This will be the first mandatory export of the 2029 season. It will also be the first one where Roster Diligence penalties will be accessed - Set those rosters, clear those DFA's.
Mon. July 1 -Opening Day. WHOO HOOO!!!
Thurs. July 25 - All-Star Voting will begin in StatsLab.
Thurs. August 1 - The 2029 Amateur Draft Arrives.
Sat/Sun. August 3/4 - The Live 2029 Amateur Draft in StatsLab. As is PEBA tradition, the live draft will begin Saturday, August 3 at 10 am PT, 1 pm ET in (likely) a dedicated Slack, with draft lists and selections through StatsLab. Saturday will see rounds 1-3 conducted, with rounds 4-15 (for most teams) and 16-25 for Manchester and Charleston. Because of the additional selections for the expansion teams, expect Sunday to run longer. Should we move quickly on Saturday, maybe we add round 4 - TBD.
Mon. August 19 - International Free Agent signing period begins.
Thurs. August 22 - The All-Star Game arrives during this sim and the plan will be for it to be broadcast live in the forums. This years game will be hosted by our defending champion Fargo Dinosaurs.
Thurs. August 29 - Trade Deadline arrives.
Mon. September 16 - Roster Expansion and minor league playoffs begin.
Mon. September 30 - Regular Season comes to a close.
Thurs. October 3 - Playoffs Begin. We will speed sim the post-season as we did this past season - when teams are ready, with no more than one sim a day, with at minimum a M-W-F sim schedule.
There you have it - I hope I have been thorough enough and haven't missed anything. Should something not add up, I've missed something, or you simply have a question - please speak up! I hope I've got it right...
Play Ball!!!
