The current Season 68/69 Schedule includes the following information:

Jun 30 (Mo): Financial update: Last chance to invest in the season 68 draft.(Unused scouting points transferred to new season, check at the bottom of the page where you can find the last date you can confirm your draft order. ). Also see here (https://www.buzzerbeater.com/community/rules.aspx?nav=Econ...) which teams are not paying players salaries this week.
Jul 1 (Tu): Finals Game 1, Relegation game 3 (if necessary)
Jul 3 (Th): Scrimmages
Jul 5 (Sa): Finals Game 2, scrimmages for all other teams.
Jul 6 (Su): Finals Game 3 (if necessary)
Jul 7 (Mo): Financial update. All teams paying players salaries this week.
Jul 7 (Mo): We begin off-season processing. After the conclusion of the last competitive national team game of the day, this involves draft's procedure, injuries and a Game Shape reset, so it is probably inadvisable for most teams to train Game Shape.



I know it says Jun 30 is the last chance to invest in the draft (this coming Monday), but I'm sure I spent draft points just hours before the new season financial update last season (which would be the 7th July this season) and they still counted.

Can anyone confirm or deny this please?

Thank in advance.

The official deadline is the tipoff of your Saturday scrimmage/finals game.

It is not supported or recommended to use points from Monday July 7, because The Button may not utilize draft order changes saved after that deadline, and the precedent has been that you do not get points refunded if you use them after the deadline.

In practice, I’ve heard of other people doing that successfully depending on the time of day their economy is compared to when the draft is started. But I don’t do it myself and would encourage others not to risk it.

Yeah, fair call, Azariah. Thanks for that. Might be worth the risk...we will see.

Thanks for the reply.

I was never able to spend those points because my financial update is at night (and I never stayed up so long to try this :P) so in general points that you will earn after sunday 5th are usually not available for the current draft, or it's very risky to rely on those as said above.

I agree with OP that it used to be possible to spend the last points on draft day, e.g. today, and I'm from Switzerland too!

I expected to at least still be able to change the draft order, but when I logged in today in the morning it wasn't available anymore, whicht was the first time I experienced this. If I had known that beforehand I would have reduced my draft expenses yesterday already. It shouldn't be a big problem because I moved the most promising players on top of the list, but it's still a change without any announcement.

Are you sure you were able to change the list order and spend points even today, the last monday of the season? Maybe you used to login very early in the morning? I'm trying to make a guess because honestly I was never able to, so it's not a change in my book and there is no announcement to make. This is not my first team, I used to play also many seasons ago, and the situation has always been the same for me, nothing available after the update sunday->monday

100% sure. I had my last team from 2022 - 2024, abandoned it, but missed BuzzerBeater too much, so I created my current team. During that time it was always like this. First I was confused, because I expected it to be closed by monday morning. But it was always still available throughout the day, until the actual off season process started.

Me too! I was ready to spend 6 points one more time, as I had done before.

They definitely changed it!

Yeah. Good and bad news. Was kind of looking forward to squeezing 6 more points in. Actually, after some stuff ups, was counting on it. Ah well. Good to see stuff is still being addressed.
