Here on the cusp of the end of the regular season, here's a primer on upcoming notable offseason events:

1. Playoffs can/will begin as soon as participants are ready. Typically, Jeff M. makes a new league file, and as soon as managers have submitted CMs, the games can begin. The wildcard game will be autoplayed by a non-participating Groundout. After that games will default to autoplay, unless both managers elect to play live. If you need a refresh on rules and usage, check out the Rulebook page.
2. Awards voting will begin next week. Watch for a message from Sam with details.
3. Trades can still be made up to October 9 at 11:59 p.n. CT. Rosters will be frozen on the next day.
4. Rule 5 protected lists (16 players) are due to The Commish October 11. I'll send out a reminder well ahead of that day.
5. The R5 and NL player draft are going to be combined. I tossed out a random date of October 25, but let me know early if that day is problematic and I'll try to reschedule as necessary. Provide blackout dates to make re-scheduling easier.
6. If that all goes as planned, we'll end our season with roster cuts on October 28, before we enter our quiet season.
