Sounds good Ben but don't add a FTM cat it's a nice mix there.

Regarding rosters, that looks great to me even if you decide to go with 16 teams 12 is a good number it probably wouldn't hurt to take out one bench but I'm fine with it at 12.

There are 4 team managers I'm not familiar with. Two of them, I'm pretty sure, are Sonics fans. This is because their team names are "FU Clay" and "Skyway Sonics". The other two, I have no idea. They are "TeamFAAACK!" and "Still Strong". There is a slight chance they're holdover OKC fans who didn't quit the league when I asked them to.

I think with a team name "FU Clay" there is a slight chance that is run by a Sonics fan.

The other two you mentioned joined when that post was made on the OKC board, I am almost positive they are outsiders. If you decide to boot 2 teams, boot them.

Should I just boot them? I definitely want Sweezo and JSonics in. On the other hand, I would feel like kind of a jerk.

I don't know about FAAAK, but if you look at Still Strong's profile, there is a long history of Seattle related team names. I don't think it's a big deal though, just add a couple of teams and keep it at 12 players (who were some of the players drafted at the end of the H2H 18 team league?). If you decide to make it 11 man rosters to fit 16 teams, i'd prefer to keep the 4 bench spots and go with this:
PG, SG, SF, PF, C, Util, Util, BN, BN, BN, BN
I also agree on it being a good mix of stats, no need to add the FTM.

BTW: Sweezo, Is this thread going to be moved over to the Mariners board this weekend or is everything going to be wiped and we start threads from scratch?

[BenjaminH]

Okay, we'll leave Still Strong. I'll email this "Team FAAAK" and ask whether he is an OKC fan. His answer will determine whether we expand the league to 15 or 16. Sound good?

[Sweezo]

My understanding is it's just going to be be moved over...

[BenjaminH]

So, I emailed the possible OKC fan. If I don't hear back from, I'll remove the team, which I think is very likely. If it turns out to be an OKC fan, I'll just make it 16 teams, which I don't think is very likely. Either way, Sweezo and JSonics, expect to have a spot in this league.

That sounds good Ben. Again, I am truly sorry for the mess I have created.

[jsonic007]

Great.

[BenjaminH]

Okay, I removed "Team FAAAK". I also changed the team limit from 14 to 15 and subtracted a roster position. So, Sweezo and JSonics, you should both join ASAP.

[OzSonic]

I'll ask again Ben is there any chance of delaying that draft 3 hours? I'm not sure what time it is set for over there but it's set for 4:30 AM here. I know most of you are from the states so I'm outnumbered but if others don't mind changing it to a later start I'd appreciate it a lot!

If not I'll set my alarm and go back to bed after it is done. It will be tough but I think it would be possible, just don't want to do it.

[jsonic007]

I can't get in anymore as it's in predraft mode...

[jsonic007]

I'm in! My team is THE WONDERWALLS, in case you're wondering.

delay 3 -5 hours is fine to me
for the time set now i might come in late

[BenjaminH]

Oh, yeah. I forgot to address that. Delaying it 3 to 5 hours is a little bit late for me. Sundays are big work days for me; I do the majority of my grading and writing then. But how about we push it back like two hours? Then you would only have to wake up at 6:30AM, which is a reasonable time to get up anyway. (Even if you don't get up at 6:30 on a daily basis, it is only waking up, what, 1/2 an hour earlier, an hour earlier?)

So, I'm pushing it back two hours.

My only other concern about pushing it back is that I know we have two people in Western Europe. Is that going to be a problem for them? (If so, we still have a week to find a time that works for all of us.)

[OzSonic]

Yeah 6:30 I can handle. It will be tough because I believe I am working the night before but I can always go back to sleep. (Hopefully)

[BenjaminH]

Hey guys,

You know, I'd be interested in doing even one more league. Perhaps this one with fewer teams and larger roster sizes. I know this is short notice with the season about to start. But is anyone else interested?

[OzSonic]

No, I'm already in 3 leagues, that is enough for me.

[BenjaminH]

Yeah, I just joined the one in the other thread. That is three for me too, which I think is enough.
