If any of these 11 decline, then the "reserve" invites go to Pete, metaldude, Praba and Ben10Rules.
Entry League - FOUR Divisions of 15
Orr Fan
Psychotic Bunch
58 new players
If you are interested in getting into the Entry League, you must:
1. Have purchased the Fantasy Guide
2. Have not been in this before
3. E-mail me at dobber(at)dobberhockey.com by September 10th. I will draw 13 names from the entries.
Rules are the same as last year, except we will be limiting the IR spots to THREE. Last year we didn't have a limit and somebody just grabbed all IR players off the wire and reserved them.
Categories are G A +/- PIM PPP SOG W GAA SV
You get a $100 pretend budget for a weekly bid on available players. More details will be provided if you are one of the participants.
Expert Division. Tentative draft date Thursday Sept 10 at 8:30 pm ET
The Pro and Entry leagues will have their draft over the two weeks following that date. To be advised.
We expanded this due to the overwhelming demand and the fact that Shoeless has volunteered to commish the four Entry Leagues. Each league winner will move up to the next Tier. If you are one of the 56 non-winners in the Entry League this year, you are out for next year. This ensures that 56 new people can play every year.
