copied from the league page my newest commissioner's note:

Quote:
MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT: The draft has been changed to Wednesday March 30th at 10pm EST

I decided to push the draft back to Wednesday night for several reasons. The first and most important reason is we do not have enough teams registered yet. I feel giving it 2 more days will allow us to get to a full league of 12 teams. Also the Monday night draft was going to be difficult for 2 of the league members, in fact, one has temporarily left the league due to that reason. Its tough, b/c now we could lose TenBagger. Regardless we're going to have to push it back to Wednesday night in order to have the league run. I reset the draft to Wed night and when I did yahoo must be getting full on leagues and draft times b/c the only times that were available were in the 7, 10, or 11pm hour (EST). I went with 10pm EST since that was the closest time available to the time we selected for Monday night.

TenBagger, brought up a good point to me yesterday about how many OF'ers I was using. As I had it set for a MI and CI slot, but only 3 OF slots puts an emphasis on middle infielding and corner infielders for that matter, and devalues OF'ers. Keeping those positions as is, would of have limited production and strategy, by making it difficult for teams to carry a speedy OF'er type in order to compete in steals. Or forcing teams to pass up a better OF'er in a draft in order to fill a backup infield position. I didn't want to limit team's options. I also felt 8 bench slots was too many so I lowered it to 6 and added an extra all purpose Pitching slot.

One last thing that needs to be said. Another reason the draft had to be pushed back is I've only received payment from knightrunner, BASEBALL!, TenBagger, and TucoRamirez. I need payments sent in, in order to be fair to the other teams and perserve the integrity of the league. A few other teams have contacted me about payment, which I appreciate, but its time to get payments in.

Payment info:
paypayl: joshuafrick3@gmail.com
Stars: Thundercat32
FTP: skilled_sox1 (monkey avatar)

When you've sent payment please pm me at Thundercat32 on 2p2 and let me know your team name, how you sent payment including your sn if it was sent thru a poker site or your email if it was sent thru paypal.

I really apologize for the late notification and delaying the draft. Alot of this was piloting error on my part. Just please bare with me. This is my first year to commissioner a pay league and I'm working out some of the bumps along the way. However, things have been smoothed out now and we will have the draft this Wed March 30th at 10pm EST with a full 12 teams participating.

Thank you everyone,

Joshua aka Thundercat32

Myself, personally I prefer auction drafts. I think they are just cooler, and its fun to be able to have whatever player you want on your team, as opposed to having it determined by draft order.... That said, I did an auction draft last week and they are more difficult and more time consuming.

I have no doubt changing the draft time at the last minute will upset a few people. We're going to have to see how that shakes out. But by tonight we will have a final vote. I'm not going to dick around with it anymore. So by midnight tonight we'll get a final tally done and whatever the outcome is that will be our draft setting.

At present time we have 11/12 teams registered. I'm not dead set on capping it at 12 teams. If we have enough interest we could go all the way to 14 teams. But you should still probably register asap in order to ensure a spot.

payment by the start of the draft would be ideal, yes. If you're not able to do that, I would need someone very trustworthy to vouch for you. Since I'm guaranteeing the league payouts I'd like that for my own protection.

So far we have 10 teams locked in for sure. TenBagger will likely have to back out since he has trouble with the Wednesday night draft. He was sort of our casualty for moving it to Wed night (sorry buddy). But I expect sthief (i heart roto chicken) will be able to rejoin the league now since the draft is Wed instead of Mon night.

I have a buddy who will be joining later tonight and that will bring us to 11 (12 if sthief is able to rejoin like I suspect he will). That means we'll be opening the league up to 14 teams. So for now there could be 1, 2, or 3 spots remaining. If you're browsing and interested in joining, sign up now! Cheers

ok its official the vote closed 7-4 in favor of a snake draft. So snake draft it is. Please be aware draft pick trades are allowed. So get to the draft room 30 min ahead of time to see what pick you were given and allow yourself time to possibly workout a deal to move up a few picks if you like.

If you haven't sent in payment yet please do so and pm me with your team name and how you sent payment.

Thanks and see everybody Wed night in the draft room!

It'll be on a first come first serve basis, so register and send payment as soon as possible if you want to claim it.

Edit: In order to be forthcoming with the league. I have spoken to Bad News and he has pledged to pay asap. My co-manager skilled_sox1 is guaranteeing the payouts for this league (if you're concerned sharkscope him on Stars under skilled_sox, but do it for lifetime so the $400k+ comes up. If you filter for just last year it'll be pretty ugly). We're just looking to have a little fun and start running some leagues that have closer settings to what we prefer and maybe what I would say more of an open arms policy to players interested in joining. That said neither I, nor my co-manager, are looking to lose money here so please do be a man of your word and pay league buyins and all sidebets you wish to wager.

Also, if you didn't read post the OP you may have missed the part about a last place penalty of $50 and a second to last place penalty of $25. Those will be on the honor system. I also reserve the right to waive those fees, if and only if I feel you made a honest effort to improve your team all year long. If you happen to finish last b/c you lost 3 of your top 5 players for the year. Thats different than finishing last b/c you were -150 games under the games played pace, -300 IP the maximum Innings allowed, and made 3 moves all season. Leagues are more fun with managers who compete, so thats the reason for those penalties. Should you finish last due to a lack of effort and refuse to pay the penalty, you will not be invited back next year until the penalty is paid. I really don't think any of this will be an issue, but it does need to be stated. I want everyone aware going into the season. Thank you for your cooperation
