Strat-O-Matic Baseball 365

I'm blessed to be associated with a fantastic group of managers. Our supplemental drafts are completed quickly and the turnaround between seasons is second to none. We are on course to have opening day for Season 13 on Monday, March 2, and the finals for Season 12 haven't even begun yet!

However, the new 2014 season is probably going to be released Thursday, February 26. I'm sure the initial leagues will fill quickly and therefore also have an opening day of March 2. This begs the question...

Do we want to delay our opening day one week?

I'm not putting this to a formal vote; I'm looking for a consensus. So please weigh in with what you think and--just as importantly--how strongly you think it!

PRO for not waiting: Continuing our tradition of fast turnaround times between leagues keeps interest up.
PRO for waiting: With the excitement of the new set being released, it would be nice to have a week offset.

Personally, I don't plan to join a 2014 season league anytime soon. However, I'm okay waiting one week if some (many/most?) of our managers are and would like a short offset.

Please respond fast since if we decide not to wait, we need to move forward quickly!

I can wait a week even though I don't play the 20xx games. The mystery tournament starts the 4th round this Thursday so I can keep busy.

I don't play 20xx games so it makes no difference to me when we start.

I say we keep the quick turnaround. I plan on joining a 2014 league but I can do that whenever I enjoy having this group of managers to play against.

The 90"s Mystery tournament leagues will start playing games 3/9/2015. I would rather have an offset on start dates than start two 90's leagues on the same day.

Either way is fine with me.

I'd prefer to keep the quick turnaround but waiting a week keeps me tied for first place longer:)

..I agree to start a week late to offset the 90's Mystery tournament

Actually, if we start a week late, we start at the same time as the 90s Mystery Tournament--not good!

I know a few managers haven't had a chance to see this yet or respond. However, in order to avoid starting the same week as the 90s Mystery Tournament, which would be worse than starting the same week as the 2014 Season launch, we're going to move ahead so we can start on March 2.

The league is created, and the password has been PM'ed to the East managers.
