  03/25: ML Winter transactions will be available on www.nil-baseball.com - it's

	 compensation for players traded to AL. Compensation picks are due by 
	 5:00 PM EST.
  03/26: Frozen rosters are due along with any contract signings by 5 PM,
	 EST. By Sunday, the frozen rosters will be released to all teams
	 along with the 5 lists of draft rounds.  The rosters are available on 
	 www.nil-baseball.com. Please cut out your team, delete all players
         being dropped, and to the right of the contract label, indicate
         what is the player's new contract if he was under 'b' contract the
         previous season.  Player under 'a' (if kept) can be ignored since
	 he automatically goes to 'b' and 'c' through 'g' players can be
	 ignored since they automatically go to next level.

  03/27: Round 1 bids are due and the results are sent out.  When bidding on
         players, it is easiest, if the bid is put to the RIGHT of the
         player's position (if any).  If the team is not bidding on any
	 player in any one of the rounds, then a message stating that should 
	 be sent to the Commissioner.  Otherwise, it is assumed that the team
	 is having computer problems and the draft gets delayed.  Also, please
	 let the Commissioner know if somebody is omitted from any of the lists.
  03/28: Round 2 bids are due and the results are sent out.
  03/29: Round 3 bids are due and the results are sent out.

         released players and players omitted from original draft list are
         bid on and the results are sent out.
  04/11: Teams submit legal rosters by position and release any other players
         not wanted and everybody's rosters along with the info for
         supplemental round are sent out.
  04/12: Lists for supplemental draft are received, players are assigned,
         results are sent out and.... PLAY BALL!!!!
  04/13: Reserve lists for players on DL/minors due.
         If any of the team's players went on DL or were sent to minors
         between the start of the draft and the current day, the team is
         allowed to replace them under the following provisions.  All players
         that have been called up to the majors since opening day are
         eligible.  If a player replaced became inactive *BEFORE* Opening Day,
         then the replacement player's stats will be retroactive to Opening
         Day.  If the player became inactive between Opening Day and first
         Saturday after Opening Day, 5 PM EST, then replacement stats will start
         counting only from that Sunday's game.  If he became inactive after
         that, then he will be handled in the following week's transactions.
