Notes:
*You may make trades with the "make trade" button in your team controls
at any time.  Any trades still pending (only one side has sent it in) at
the erasing time will be erased and must be re-sent.
*Before season initialization, all players whose contracts have expired
need to be re-signed, or they will become free agents.  This is done
with the "contract negotiations"button in your team controls.
*You may enter bids for the next round of free agent signings.  This is
done with the "free agent bids" button in your team controls.  This
is also a good time to do other roster maintainance - cuts, position
changes, and contract negotiations.
*If you have designated a franchise player who you is still an available
free agent, make sure you have roster space for him to be re-signed.
Otherwise you may have a player cut to make the needed room. (Football
only)
*You may enter bids for the next round of free agent signings.  This is
done with the "free agent bids" button in your team controls.  This
is also a good time to do other roster maintainance - cuts, position
changes, and contract negotiations.
*If you have remaining draft spots left, you should submit your drafting
orders before each day's draft rounds.  If no orders are submitted and
you have a legal roster, you will forfeit the round.  If no orders are
submitted and you do not have a legal roster, the computer will draft
for you.
*When the draft ends, all teams who are still in need of players will
have their rosters filled by computer picks.
*There is nothing you need to do before training camps.  In pro leagues, minor
league rosters and training squads become available after training camps have
been run.
*Before each game, you can send in coaching orders for your team, with
the buttons in the "coaching orders" section of your team controls.  If
no orders are sent, your team will use those from the previous game.
*When you receive your all-star ballots, use the one for your conference
and vote for the best players to represent your conference in the
all-star game.
*The all-star votes will be tabulated.
*Once the trade deadline has passed, no trading will be permitted until
the season has ended.
*After the season ends, pro teams need to start signing their playes
whose contracts have expired.  In the college leagues, scheduling of
non-conference games and tournaments continues and must be done by the
next season initialization.  These can be done with the
"non-conference games" and "tournament"
buttons in your team controls.
