So...

buffalo_guy, purplepittabread88, ozzsome, and paraydise have all declined a 2nd team

larams11 and amikeus9000 are confirmed new participants. 2-3 more from @purplepittabread88's crew it seems to hopefully we'll be good.
I'm also willing to give up a 2nd team if someone needs a team, but I'll also stay with 2 depending on what the group needs
 
Initial inclination is to random all of the late adds and add them starting at 17. Snake will start after the new guys (and minus those that only want 1 team obviously).
You guys are in charge and will make the decision. However, my two cents is that the new players will find it more difficult to manage a more complicated team by putting them towards the end of round.

New draft order. For transparency into the process, we kept the original draft order and selected a random integer from random.org to place all of the new entrants. @LArams11 started with 19, followed by @amikeus9000 rolling a 15, and finally @DaddyDK rolling an 8.

We will snake after that, but with 5 players only wanting 1 team right now (@purplepittabread88, @paRAYdise, @Ozzsome, @Buffalo_Guy, and @Giants56Ravens52), we only have 30 total spots filled. If any of you would like a 2nd team again, please let me know and we can get you back in the order. Should be good to start selecting up through 1-19 until we figure that out.

If any newbies want a 2nd team as well, please let me know.

Also new this year:

We will continue to use Spotrac because they are the easiest for our game. We understand the potential inaccuracies there, so we want to give you the opportunity as you get set up to cross reference with Over The Cap. If you see anything egregious, please let us know and we'll see if we can make an adjustment. This will be open only for a couple of days max after everyone has a team, so don't wait to check.

I personally checked a team in the past and Spotrac just had the math completely wrong (by like $7-8M) and we want to provide some ability to ignore and rectify those errors when possible.

Thanks for the creativity in figuring this out and making a system that works. Appreciate it

Slots 20-32 are slightly fluid right now until we figure out what we can do with the last 2 open spots. Figured we’ll start through 19 so we don’t delay it any further.

If you or anyone you know wants a first or second team, let us know. At this point, anyone new will be slotted in at 20.

If any people with 1 team opt to help us out and take 2 again, we’ll add you to the snake accordingly.
 
I'll take a second team if needed. I may just do drafting, dropping, and trades though which would probably work since I would be picking 31st I'm guessing?

I should've known the Bears would be gone by the first pick. Excellent choice!
