This is the re-designed "Decade" Draft League with new eras instead of traditional 10 year decades. With all the new years coming out, I think it would be awesome to do 5 leagues in a 12 month period that span all the available sim years. To achieve that, I have laid out a tentative schedule that will allow us to complete these 5 leagues. Thanks to TheRebel for forcing me to take a harder look at the year distribution. I tweaked the year range for future DDL 50 - 52 to all be 14 year eras each, threw the extra year into DDL 49, and kept everything else the same.

DDL #	Year	Range	Drafting	League Start	League Finish
46	85/86	00/01	12/26/25	1/17/26	3/20/26
47	01/02	15/16	3/9/26	3/31/26	6/1/26
48	16/17	25/26	5/21/26	6/12/26	8/13/26
49	51/52	74/75	8/2/26	8/24/26	10/25/26
50	75/76	88/89	10/14/26	11/5/26	1/6/27
51	89/90	02/03	12/26/26	1/17/27	3/20/27
52	03/04	16/17	3/9/27	3/31/27	6/1/27
53	17/18	26/27	5/21/27	6/12/27	8/13/27

DDL 46 will be using the years starting with 85/86 - 00/01 (16 seasons).
This will be a 10 round draft with 3rd Round Reversal like usual so it is an ABBABABABA
No Salary Cap, No Rookies, No Waivers or Free Agents.
This will be a timed draft with daily assigned draft picks with 30 minute intervals.
Round 1 will be untimed with a 24 hour limit before being skipped.

Please sign up below to reserve your spot. I realize this is early to be taking sign ups but I want to be sure we can fill and start drafting by the last week of December.

Count me in! Thank you!!

in... this DDL will be known as the Detlef Schrempf or "The Grand Teuton" ERA

I'm in.

I'm wondering why is #50 overlapping with #46?

You have 85-86 and 86-87 each in 2 leagues.
.

46	85/86	00/01	12/26/25	1/17/26	3/20/26
47	01/02	15/16	3/9/26	3/31/26	6/1/26
48	16/17	25/26	5/21/26	6/12/26	8/13/26
49	51/52	73/74	8/2/26	8/24/26	10/25/26
50	74/75	86/87	10/14/26	11/5/26	1/6/27

I'd go like this to avoid seasons being used twice.
.

46	85/86	98/99	12/26/25	1/17/26	3/20/26 - 14 seasons
47	99/00	12/13	3/9/26	3/31/26	6/1/26 - 14 seasons
48	13/14	25/26	5/21/26	6/12/26	8/13/26 - 13 seasons
49	51/52	70/71	8/2/26	8/24/26	10/25/26 - 20 seasons
50	71/72	84/85	10/14/26	11/5/26	1/6/27 - 14 seasons

Next time through when 26/27 is added that will also be 14 seasons.

some of the years may not make sense as we transition from the old decade scheme into the new one. Also, since we get a new seasons drop each year and I am keeping the most recent 10 seasons as an era, there is going to be a single season overlap. But I’d rather have an overlap than leave a year out. We are not starting #46 with 87/88 because that would slip and leave out 86/87 since we just drafted 75/76-84/85.

Also, you should think of DDL48 as starting a new clean cycle using the 10 most recent seasons. The recent seasons have higher quality talent in EFG especially so that’s why I wanted to use the 10 most recent seasons for that era and the rest of the eras do not need to be balanced by season count.

Okay, I think my chart makes more sense, but you are in charge.

Can you add me to the list of people who are in?

Chewy, is this for the next season after the one that you are drafting right now?

If so, you said I could come in to the next season, so please put me in.
