This software actually has real IR and Minor League spots that we can use.<\/p>\n<p>2. There is a live auction option, but I doubt it work for us.<\/p>\n<p>3. It has functionality to allow the trading of draft picks, but we&#8217;ll<br \/>\nhave to see if it actually works for us because it doesn&#8217;t allow for a<br \/>\nseparate rookie draft.  However, I think it might work because I can<br \/>\nmanually set all the players taken in the auction and then just use<br \/>\nthe actual draft functionality for the rookie draft.<\/p>\n<p>4. I think I was able to configure the scoring the same with the<br \/>\nexception of field goals where the difference will be the cut-offs are<br \/>\n29\/30 and 44\/45 instead of 30\/31 and 45\/46.<\/p>\n<p>5. We can fully customize the contracts.  I made the same as in A.S.S.<br \/>\nfor now so that it would be familiar, but we can change them to be<br \/>\nmore intuitive if we want to.<\/p>\n<p>6. There is a lot more info given to you regarding roster rules,<br \/>\nincluding warning messages when you submit changes.<\/p>\n<p>7. This software allows us to allow roster changes up until each<br \/>\nplayer&#8217;s game starts as opposed to doing it when the first game on<br \/>\nSunday starts.  I set it up this way because I think it makes sense<br \/>\nand that the only reason we didn&#8217;t do it this way before is because<br \/>\nA.S.S. wouldn&#8217;t allow it.  We should probably take a vote on this<br \/>\nthough, since it is a significant change.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The downside is of course the hassle of entering everyones rosters with contracts and salaries, but the big question of how Fantrax handles free agency and waivers seems moot. All indications are their premium service provides for this. Which is huge, but we&#8217;ll see. Things are looking good tho.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It took a couple days but it appears that the Technology Committee is close to determining that Fantrax will provide the smoothest transition in terms of fewest rule changes required to adapt to a new host site.
