Restart (NOT reset)

[thenamelesspoet]

I will be out of town until next month and unfortunately my PC just shit the bed, well my motherboard did.  I have 1 last ditch effort to see if I can get I to work, but I will be away from Thursday until next Thursday so I may not be able to update the file until then.  I hadn't had this forum bookmarked on my phone or at work so I couldn't get on until today.  It shouldn't be an issue going forward once I either get my MoBo to work, or get a new one next week.

As soon as I get that taken care of I will update the file and post it.

New Motherboard will be here tomorrow, right before I leave lol, so I won't be able to update the file until probably Friday, but if we have everyone here, and are all set on the contraction I think we can start next week :-)

Based on everything I say it's time to throw in the towel on this... if someone else comes up with a league of similar nature and is going to be full go let me know. I'll be interested.

Want smaller numbers of teams and make believe teams

[thenamelesspoet]

Well, we have 13 people that have logged into the boards, so if we get 3 more we can start full. I AM concerned about not having a wildcard tho if we go down to 16 teams.

I got my motherboard so I hopefully will have time to rebuild my PC tomorrow night or at LEAST on Saturday. Not having TV is killing at night lol.

I would like to restart by next week if we can. I agree with Midmissourians tho, it IS starting to drag on a little.

In no way is this league worth giving up on. It was going to take some time getting the troops rounded up. It's been noted that people like TNP were going to be away when we could've theoretically got things rolling. I'm off for the next week, so I can help to get an updated file out and check for the playoff issue. It sucks that it's been a slow process, but we just weren't able to hit the floor running.

[midmissourians]

Well I'm not leaving I'll keep checking and I hope it hangs in there, I just know the longer it waits the less likely we are to fill what we need. I'll be here though.

Making a 16-team league would cause the wildcard to disappear. So, our options are to recruit, recruit, recruit and stay at 18 teams OR cut to 16 teams and deal with 1 division have 2 teams in each league OR cut to 14 teams with 1 division having 3 teams in each league.

I've messaged tsew, Phil, and clarkson on Sports Mogul. They're the last remaining members that we don't have definitive yes or no from.

I say stay with 18, and keep recruiting as we go. I'd imagine its easier to recruit when the league is up and running, and they can start making moves right away

[thenamelesspoet]

I am thinking the same thing. I am working with Nokes on the updated file. If TSEW is not coming back we def need someone who can sim.

We should have the updated file out by this Friday, I am hoping that maybe we can get started the following week, of August 22nd by the latest. As far as recruiting, I am not in any other leagues so I don't really have anyway to get more players, and I am no longer a member of the BM forum really. I also don't really run in any circles of people who would play and am no longer on social media so... I suck lol.

i'll keep recruiting, to try to fill Team 17 and 18.

I am not sure if I am being counted yet but I am interesting in joining the league and taking a team

You certainly are. You and Leb give us 14 GMs now and 4 spots to fill. I think the best course of action is to fill up the spots and then we can distribute the teams.
