Editted for (1)to add clock time, and (2) moved date from Friday No. 30 to Friday Dec 7
on Saturday Dec 1. Then (3) to specify 15 rounds on DD. TRW suggested an even number
of rounds, so its at 16 now (edit 4).
Also - Big Ric (N Texas) suggested getting a jump start on the draft as soon as it fills --
any comments?

I would really appreceate (in addition to signing up for the league) for managers
to chime in on the late Mort and remember him for the class act that he was.
I hope I am not out of line here. I didn't know Mort the best, he was in my very first
strat on-line league (in a division with Petro and myself). Both were supportive of me
as a newbie in a hobby I have now enjoyed for years.
Its meant to be a grass root honor, and I am hoping that other vets who knew him
better could educate me on some of his contributions to strat that should not be
forgotten.

What is the clock? If you are doing a fast clock, 2min-5min, I will take a team.
I don't have patience to do one of those long drawn out live drafts where it takes someone 4-6hours to figure out who they want to draft.

We used to do these DD drafts a while back on Thursday/Fridays nights (I think a couple of years ago). After DD, You would load your team into the SOM draft card and then frenzy at midnight.

2 minute clock. First post editted to reflect this.
Mort set up a league called "ALMOST LIVE" when ATG6 was new and
the LIVE draft was temporarily down. The settings reflect what Mort
used. Link to league:

yes, that was the league, I was refering too. That was a frenzy league. We did those on a regular basis for a couple of months.
fyi - I find if you want to fill a league fast, it helps to put the cap, date/time in the subject heading.

Mort was a great, great man. He was certainly one of the better managers based on pure play. Generous with advice and was always ready to do two drafts in one night! I think about him everyday, coz I miss his messages and friendship, the inbox is not as fun for me anymore.
