MARCH MADNESS - ROUND 3 [BRACKETS POSTED]
by hechojazz » Fri Aug 18, 2006 1:52 pm
I've been joined in bracket 1 by Hoboken Wizards III, but so far bracket 1 is very slow to fill. I know we don't have the exact same time pressure bracket 2 has, but we do want both brackets to be able to start at the same time. Let's get rolling.

Guys, sorry about this, but I doubt I'll be able to join my bracket today or tonight. Fortunately I'm not in the same league as Panzer, so it shouldn't matter too much.
Having said that, I didn't realize there was going to be this time pressure to get the next round started right away. The rush doesn't really work for me, for reasons I won't get into here.
If it's essential that the league gets started this quickly, you might just as well replace me. I actually would've preferred to wait a couple of weeks to start the next round, but I guess that's not going to happen.

BC, I hope you can stay in. There is no way we could hold this off for a week or two (we didn't after the first round), as it is already hanging on by a thread. Panzer's bracket is the most important b/c he will be out of the country for a couple of weeks, so we're trying to get it started next week. I'd rather they both go at the same time, but it is not necessary. That said, I don't think we can start it any later than a week from this Monday (a one week gap in the brackets is probably the most we can handle). Let me/us know if you can get in early next week.
If a replacement is needed for BC or anyone else, I propose to add any team that has been knocked out but (1) won a championship in the 1st round (MRMS and, potentially, BallyWackman), and (2) made the playoffs in the 1st round. Ties going to best win % in first 2 rounds.

MRMS will bite....

I'm between leagues and could do this.
It IS BC's spot.....he spanked me pretty good at the end of R2 to solidify 2nd place and really deserves the slot.... so let me propose this (in the spirit of the Dave Wallace / Al Nipper pitching coach job sharing theme): How 'bout I get this going -- BC coaches me on the team as his situation permits thru the season -- and if by some miracle we survive the round BC gets the slot back.
I'm also still new enough to this that I would enjoy comanaging a team.
I'm also not sure which bracket this is, is it the one Panzer's trying to get closed tonight?
I will start teeing up a draft card just in case.

I will be in for Round 3. Not sure if I can get my team in tonight, but I will have a team ready soon.
Sorry to tease you MRMS, but I will continue my battle with these overacheivers, now. :D
