Re: Build a Franchise (Season 9) Discussion Thread- Announcement on pg. 56
Last few hours to get your responses in for the GM survey and power rankings. I’ve extended the deadline to 6PM tonight. So far, we have a disappointingly low response rate of less than 50% for the power rankings and exactly 50% for the survey.
One last attempt to incentivize people to taking a little time today to get these done…anyone who participates will get their team page posted a day or two before anyone who doesn’t.

I downloaded the new sim season last night. Should be able to get into it tonight or tomorrow and maybe able to drop a few initial ratings in the next 24 hours or so. Looking for the new season to begin by the middle/end of next week.
Sent mine just now. My bad about the late entry I totally forgot

C’mon y’all, let’s handle our business and get these two items cleared.
GM activity is a part the BaF experience and we aren’t asked to do this but once a year. Bish puts a ton of time and effort into running this league, processing our maniac trades, and keeping everything organized.
It’s the least we can do to show appreciation for him and our fellow GMs. Let’s ensure we keep this league running, by remaining engaged with participation.

I didn’t know what to say for #17 but later realized that it’s gotta be the team with the new GM who just replaced 13 of his players…
