i was going to close the league for entries once we were ready to draft. i intend on drafting shortly after the main NFL draft. maybe the following week, we'd know the landing spots of players and things like that by then so i think approximately a week after the real NFL draft is when i'd look to close entry. so anytime really before then. but i'd recommend giving yourself some time to get familiar with drafting by doing at least one mock in an auction format. just so you know what you're going to expect at the actual start up draft.
