To start the email draft I am required to clear all rosters of non-keepers. Since we are playing a full dynasty league all players are keepers and the owners have not bothered to designate them as such. How can start the email draft without clearing any player off any roster? Alternatively, how can I designate every player on a roster as a keeper?
I have increased the roster size to allow for the extra players to be drafted, and will force a roster cut later in the summer to return to our in-season roster limits.
Thanks

I don't think we are currently capable of doing that. I am the commissioner of a dynasty league and what I do is simply set a keeper deadline. Our deadline is at midnight tonight and I have emailed a reminder every day this week. If people didn't set their keepers that is just too bad. I have tried what you are planning in the past, and if deadlines are set people just didn't care and nothing ever got done. Then you can't reset roster maximums later on because the site won't allow it unless every team is at or below that maximum. Then you have one more thing to harp on the whole league about. It is much easier as commissioner to enforce deadlines than to try to be on everyone's case about it all. Take it from me who made the same mistake last year.
I am not an expert, or an authority, just speaking from experience friend. Take from it what you will.

I like your approach. However, I find a roster cut-down date at the beginning of September is easier to work with. I can publisize my criteria for cutting (i.e lowerest ranked non-critical back-up) so if the teams have not conformed to the roster limtiations on time, I can easily cut their rosters. This way there is no risk of somone losing Aaron Rodgers due to over-sight.
