(copied and pasted for my post in another forum):
[The 1986 set. It is free, so there is not much room to bit_h. However, is there any way that wins, loses, winning %, and points can be registered again. Due to abuse of the freebie goldmine, I acknowledege that the points should not be included in the overall player ratings, but can they be charted seperately. I drafted 18 teams, and though they are free, I have put a lot of time and effort into them. Most of us Strat addicted types are also statistic freaks, and without 1986 stats(W, L %, and points) charted, it is almost not worth the effort to invest the time in them.
Also, it opens up the leagues to the pis_ed off types to torpedo them by purposely degrading their teams. If the stats are tracked, it greatly reduces this possibility, as it keeps the pride in ones performance (and numbers out there for all to see)aspect in play. ]

I was suprised that there was not a cap put on the number of free teams from the beginning, but hindsight is 20/20 and all that.

Bernie is not perfect, but I think he has tried to do right by us, and I offer up my thanks for his efforts.

I drafted 20 teams and 14 of them were taken away by TSN . Be glad you got your 18 teams . :wink:

I hear you......... but can't I have my cake and eat it too :lol:

Seriously though, I would gladly have gone with a 5 team cap, if that would have let the plan stand as stated. IE-- wins, loses, & % etc. counting towards your manager rating.

I understand Bernie's decision, I just hope an alternative solution can be reached.

In the end though, I guess I am still getting more than I payed for :wink:
