I would like to request that RFA bidding not start on Feb 6. I have mandatory umpire meetings every monday in Feb and it is always a hassle for me. Plus it is my birthday. I also have Tuesday commitments. Can we consider either the previous or following wednesday ?

[Yankees]

The super bowl was your guys thing before me so when in Rome...I'm not sold on any date. Anyone have any issue moving date?

Any movement on this request? Would February 1 or 8 work for everyone to start RFA bidding? Let me know please so I can plan accordingly.

8th works well for me as well

[lewjo]

I'm ok with the 8th

[Yankees]

Is it just the Monday? I'm told keeping up with these spreadsheets first day or two is pretty intense so I'd like to be off. We can start on the 2nd. Groundhog Day!! Any objections?

[Yankees]

That's the Thursday!

[Bobby]

I am not available on the 2nd of February

[Yankees]

Will we be able to accommodate all the busy schedules we have? Thoughts?
