NLD History can be found here: http://angelfire.com/games5/joethejet/NLD_History.xls (you will probably have to copy and paste the URL)

Things to note:

- Stoney won with the best record after missing three straight. 14th time overall that the best record has won
- Second time in a row the best record has won. First time that this has happened since NLD 33/34 and only the third time overall
- Stoney or JTJ have posted the best record over the past five NLDs
- JTJ has made the playoffs 4 straight tying he and Wineman's longest stretch
- Smokee has made the playoffs in 3 of the last 4
- Semper missed the playoffs after two straight appearances
- Falcon has made the playoffs in both of his NLD seasons
- JTJ pulled to 5 points of Silver's best all time win pct (.525)
- Stones and GB are tied for second best playoff pct at 46.2% (no one is catching Silver's 71%)
- A sign of balance, in the past four seasons no team has won fewer than 71 games. First time we've ever had a stretch that long.

That's about all I could come up with. Feel free to chime in if you notice anything that I didn't post.

stratdraft doesn't seem to be working for me - it doesn't show any players available

I don't think Stoney has set it up yet. He said he would get to it this week. We'll start next week.

Players are loaded into the draft site but draft is not set up yet.

If anyone has a couple of minutes can you spot check players/salaries and see if everything looks ok? Unleashed players show available now but I'll turn them off before the draft starts.

Thanks

Everything looks OK to me.

Ready to go...

Draft is set up and on. Everyone should have received an invite.

I guess Doug can pick any time. Remember no clock for the first round.

Hi guys..i will make my pick by sometime late Tuesday morning..at work now.
