These were each 12-season events where each manager had each team once.

That is a very cool concept. Takes alot of effort, but looks like a great challenge.

As it turns out, I am a better organizer than a manager. Even so, it was great fun!

Ho ho ho! Actually, Rob and I both appear to be pretty much "average" managers -- but I gotta say, he is one hell of an organizer. He ran a 10-season 1950s league offline and we are now into a 1960s one. Outstanding effort!
