I believe that this idea has been batted around before, but is there any community interest in reducing the off-season's plodding length? I'd personally be in favor of cutting a day from the first set of FA days, a day from the draft (rounds 3+4 spin together, 5+6+7 together), and a day from the post-draft FA. Possibly cut the pre-season middays as well? If I didn't have my hand in so many concurrent leagues I'd get driven mad waiting for the regular season to start back up, haha.

I would be in favor of all of these ideas, except for cutting the mid-week during preseason.

I like having that day to make any changes/FA pickups I may need.

I think it would also help if there were better distribution of game days throughout the leagues. Right now, most of the leagues have games on the same day. I'm not sure about these new ones yet.

If there's enough support I have no problem taking an early FA day out and shortening the draft as you describe. I'm less keen to let the midweeks go, just because it's difficult to really know what's going to happen when you make roster moves on a game stage.

Good suggestions, I am for them

I would agree with everything but keep the midweeks ..

Me too.

I could support everything except cutting the mid weeks.

In favor but keep the mid-weeks.

I'm in favor, and would like to keep the preseason mid-weeks.

Ok, I've reduced the draft by a day for any future (unscheduled as of yet) drafts, and any leagues not currently in the early free agency will go into their next one with 5 weeks instead of 6.
