We have 10 players so far, as posted above.

I agree with your revision idea Terry - that we do 3 leagues, and that there be a point system, so that the overall winner is the player with the most points after the 3 leagues. (There will be no playoff).

Let's try to get this going! I will contact people that I know in online strat to try to fill it up quickly now, to a maximum of 12 participants.

(In the apparently unlikely event that we get a flood of additional players soon (i.e. 24 in total), we could stick with the original plan, but just have a 12 team playoff).

Hey, I don't want to be a d!ck, but 12 guys playing three regular leagues is nothing like what I thought I was signing up for long long long long long ago. I appreciate the effort, honestly I do, and I wish this was working out, but it's not. The real baseball season has another six weeks or so, and I stop playing Strat during the offseason usually.

Strat blew it for too many people, and, honestly, I'm not convinced that the message boards here aren't being censored by the Strat Godz.....I'm hearing a lot of praise and zero complaints. That's hard to believe. Things used to be freewheeling and fun on these boards. Now they read like something I'd get from the old Soviet Union. Everything's great! Strat hits a home run! Hal Richman rocks!

And where's Bernie? The guy was the face of Strat to us for years and now he's suddenly gone with no mention of what happened to him. A thank you would've been nice. A comment to us about what happened to him -- "Bernie's gone to pursue other interests" would've been better than nothing.

All that complaining aside, if we had like 36, 48, 60 guys signed up for a tourney, maybe I'd do it. But this thing's been bouncing along for months now, and we've got ten people.

I apologize for letting people down and stepping away, but I'm just not into it at this point. I'll be back in the Spring. Hopefully there'll be more interest in a tournament then.

Thank you.

No problem Tom. Thanks for letting us know.

I'll leave this sign-up sheet open for a while longer - past September 7. Let's try to get this going.

We seem to be stuck at 10 participants, with Tom Siebert's withdrawl, and rburgh joining.

I will follow Terry101's excellent suggestion - let's just do 3 events with no playoff, in 12 team leagues. I will start the league by Wednesday night this week. I will put the full information in the sign-up in the 200X message boards.

Look for it late Wednesday night, or when you get up Thursday morning.

OK! Event 1 League 1 is created, with the name Sweepstakes 2012 Event 1 League 1.

Please join the league if you are registered on this board, or let us know (in the same way) if you are not participating.

There is no password - this is an "open" event. If we need to do another League, we will.

Point system - see original post.

LET'S ROLL!!!!
