Copy of Email sent to all:
Hi Everyone,
Congrats to Chinny on winning the inaugural Comish Dynasty (name STILL not 100% finalized!).
I\'ve attached what I think are everyone\'s rosters. Please review them and let me know ONLY if they DON\'T match what you have for your team. Note: Bearster\'s Boys have 26 players on my list (Yahoo only allows 25, so there was no unfair advantage here, only a communication problem)
First order of business is that I really need to hear from you if you are NOT coming back next season. I\'ve heard from/about four of our guys, saying they are or might be out after the season. Please let me know, even if it means resending me an email. I just really want to be sure, because I will start contacting my list of guys (oddly enough it\'s four deep!?) who want to get in next year.
For the top 16 teams (ie. Playoff teams!), you need to email me (please CC Chinny) with your list of 11 players (F/D) and 1 goalie PRIOR to the start of the first playoff game. Once it starts, you can\'t make any changes. I know I said I won\'t be baby-sitting you guys, but if pushed, I may put up an obvious roster for someone in this, our first year. I\'m way too nice sometimes!
I\'ve also attached the most current copy of the rules. A couple of points for next year:
Do we need dummy teams next year?
The dummy teams are difficult to manage and I\'m not sure that it\'s worth the trouble. Maybe a couple of dummy teams in each Tier for guys who ask? That way you can have visibility on what\'s happening in the other Tiers? I\'m open to suggestions, but think we can manage without dummy teams if everyone is vigilant with respect to making free agent pick ups properly and reporting any odd pick ups as soon as they are noticed.
Did the extra $250 on Jan.1 help?
Very few of us are even over $1000, five I think at the moment. What if we went to a hard cap of $1000 and just left well enough alone? Would anyone oppose this? I personally would prefer a hard cap that doesn\'t move up and down. It would simplify things in my opinion.
I didn\'t like the trading and free agent picks right up until the end of the pool. I will write deadlines into the rules for next season.
I brought this up earlier, but next season, if the player isn\'t available in Yahoo, you won\'t be able to pick them up. It was already in the rules, but I missed it until it was way too late this season. This will alleviate the problem we had of collegiate players signing once their season is done.
If they actually play and are brought online by Yahoo, then we will have waivers. Waivers will be by Tiers, with the lowest place team in the lowest Tier having priority. You would have to send me an email within 48 hours of them being available in Yahoo. Same rules would apply for dropped players.
Once we determine who\'s in for next year and have all our members confirmed, I will be soliciting names for a feeder league with the top two finishers earning the right to compete in our dynasty league. I will take up to 19 people. No more waiting list for me to maintain!
That\'s more than enough for now, but if there is anything else you want to bring up, send me an email or post it in Comish\'s Corner. I\'m going to create a thread dedicated to next year\'s pool (or just hijack one!).
Cheers,
Russ
