The official signup sheet and BS 2010 announcement will probably come out this weekend.

Looks good, Moose. Much as I'd like to see the Stadium Groupings used ... I can also appreciate the abuse that Moose must take from those who can't bother themselves to simply print the stadium list ... then keep it handy ... and write your team name next to the stadium you use in that group so you can skip to another group in the next round ... and so on ... why ... that's so complicated ... no wonder they chew out the Moose for the otherwise justly deserved penalty! :wink:

The problem is ... some probably don't sign up for the next round ... and more Fillers have to be recruited ...

Perhaps in 2011 a PDF of the stadium groups can go out with the Moos-email to participants a year from now ...

But for 2010, let's see how these new rules work out! Thanks Moose ... herding cats ... online no less ... is a challenge ... believe me ... I know!

Bottom line ... [b:0554262c32]the top 45 advance[/b:0554262c32] ... and the top 9 get a Bye! I'm in!

[b:0554262c32]Let's BS agin ... in 20 - 10![/b:0554262c32]

[b:2e6f7e3b3a]*** NEWS ALERT ***[/b:2e6f7e3b3a]

The stadium groupings are now [b:2e6f7e3b3a]BACK IN THE MIX[/b:2e6f7e3b3a], thanks to Hank O for assisting with the new stadiums and Bernie for offering some automation possibilities for keeping track of them.

Also, don't forget that TSN is generous by offering a credit to the most wins in each grouping in each event. If I eliminate groupings, they go bye-bye too. Can't let that happen.

A general posting will be made tomorrow with the signup sheet.

I heard the voices of the people, and I responded !!

Moose
Did u realize u made all the 100mil leagues as live draft leagues?

Yes, and there are only 2.

You'll notice that the Semi-Finals are also 100 Mil.

This was done because 100 Mil now seems to be the prevalent commonly used cap in ATG-V.

It USED to be 80, now it's 100. This was taken from those monitoring leagues created and a general overall consensus among those ATG vets that I have been in contact with.

[b:1bb21557cd]Barnstormers ALWAYS changes with the times !!!![/b:1bb21557cd] :lol:

Are the first leagues starting to fill this weekend or Monday or not until next week?

I'll start finalizing the signup and trying to get leagues formed probably Mon or Tues - May 3-4 for a start date of May 10 - and then will have one or more leagues for May 17th start.

I'm hopeful for the weekend to bring more signups, and I also plan on a second e-mail to hit those from last year I haven't heard from.

Good to see the stadium groupings are back... I also liked that part of the Barnstormers..... I'm ready to get started! :D

If you notice my delay, it's because I'm not happy with the signups, but I will be wrapping it up soon.
