Agreed......though I've since discovered that my situation isn't quite as
dire as I first thought. I had an error in my formula and actually have
approx 16,000 SOMIBA minutes.

Well, several of us still have a ways to go to get to 20,000 (and all of
the high minute players are going to get picked up quickly now that we are
discussing this issue and several of us need quite a bit). And the problem
is... if we force coaches to make trades just to get minutes... they will
be forced to make bad trades to overpay just for the minutes. I'm not
saying we shouldn't have a minutes requirement - we should. But it
shouldn't be too difficult for all 24 teams to reach (or for a handful of
teams to stock-pile high minutes players just to force others to make bad
trades).
Just my opinion.

I found that I have way over 20,000 minutes already. Maybe you’ll have to
make some trades to get you there. That may help you.

Jason,
I appreciate the reminders.
I don't know if other teams are in a similar conundrum, but even if I were
to draft all of the highest minute players available for the remainder of
the draft, I will still not approach 19,680 minutes. After 11 rounds, my
team minutes total is 10,924. Perhaps we should implement a taxi squad for
use by teams short of minutes, to allow them to use undrafted players to
fill in unallocated minutes. These players could be the worst quality cards
and would not be retained by the applicable teams.......just bodies for
minutes.

Just to clarify, your “M82” column in the rosters sheet in the workbook is
required to add to 19,680 (i.e. 20,000) total minutes for each team for the
season. This is the prorated games played over 82 games rounded up.

Hello Coaches,
Just a reminder that coaches are expected to draft 20,000 total minutes
before the 10% bonus to participate in the regular season. At this point
coaches need to be drafting for minutes if they have not reached the
minimum total needed minutes.
There are still 45 players available with 1000 minutes or more which
should take us through round 5 if they were drafted with the next 45 picks.
Then are there are another 24 players with almost 800 minutes up to 1000.
Finally, there are another 24 players with 600 to almost up to 800 minutes.
1000 x 2 + 900 + 700 would gives another 3600 minutes to the 8 players that
you started with plus the players from the three rounds we have completed
so far.
Thanks,
Jason
