If we run the tournament with 48, 49 and above can be alternates.

So who is running this? and do we have an estimate on when we will start?

by the way mastermosser22 will be mastermosser32 (misprint)

I was in the tournament that voovits referenced on the second page, and I stunk out loud. Best record I had was 78-84... worst was 58-104. And I had won championships in both 70's and 80's at that point. So it was pretty humbling. I have mixed feelings about trying again. It wound up being a waste of credits for me, and I don't have a lot of money to spare at the moment.

One thing that made that league fun was that there was someone giving out a bunch of bonus prizes . . . I seem to remember a Marichal jersey and an autographed Canseco bat. Some were for good accomplishments, some were kind of random, and at least one was for the ten managers with the worst overall record - I was in the running for that one but didn't win. I can't recall who did this, but it definitely kept some interest for me after I was out of the running.

As for DH/no DH . . . I'm an NL fan and prefer no DH normally, but yeah, HAL pinch hits for even the best-hitting pitchers. Or uses them to sacrifice. It doesn't bug me either way, but I do think it should be settled before people start setting up draft lists.

Individual stadiums - I thought this was more so a manager didn't take the same stadium and same strategy throughout the tournament . . . as in, I don't choose a HR-friendly park and make a team of sluggers repeatedly; I have to at least choose a different stadium and maybe alter my tactics.

I'll hold out a little longer, I'm still considering. It does sound like fun but I was pretty frustrated last time and it wound up not being a lot of fun. Obviously it could and should be . . . just have to decide if it's worth using the last of my credits or not.

let's stop at 48, get the leagues assigned and start drafting....

I say let's try hit 60. We do need 49 because of Radagast Brown. Just say, if we don't hit 57 by Tuesday, we will drop back to 48 and begin drafting. The late sign-ups would be the the first ones considered if any replacements are needed for the last two drafts. JMO. Probably time to hear a firm decision from the commish.

I was not able to play in the tsn tourney some years ago but some one might remember. I seen to re call tsn offering cool prizes like a troffy and free games. does any one think stratomatic might be interested in the tourney and ofer prizes?

It would be nice to have a goal in mind whether it is a certain number of participants or a cut off date. Otherwise people will stop checking in to see if things have started and will be MIA when we begin drafting. There are several new players that have signed up. Hopefully they will be around when things begin.

I'm with LMBombers

I agree, let's get this show on the road, while the get inn is good! Someone take this bull by the horns , and let's roll.....
