With a "normal" scheduled in Week 17, all lineups are due at 11:00 EST on Sunday. NOTE: All rosters will be locked at that time and cannot be changed until February 20. (I'm waiting until after the expansion draft is over before re-opening RAFFLE free agency.) The 2002 draft order and schedules will be posted in February. (One of the rules proposals affects how the opponents are scheduled.) I'm now accepting proposals for January's Competition Committee e-meeting. The deadline for submitting proposals is Jan 18 at 18:00 EDT. The ballots will be sent that weekend, with the results to be posted Superbowl weekend. The updated FFLM files for all four leagues have been posted to my space on Vnet's web server. (Links to the files are on the RAFFLE home page.)
