simhead777, I am 99.99999999% certain the answer to your question is (1), but I recommend you post this question in the "themes" thread which is where schwarze has been answering other clarifying questions like this.

dahsdebater, the ranking doesn't come into play that much.  It's a way to make sure 20 of the top 24 don't end up in the same league.  The divisions aer randomly determined.

simhead, contrarian is correct.

Hey  -  Are we going to have a deadline of when all the teams need to be in?

schwarze said in one of his sitemails that he was out of the country with spotty, if no, internet access until July 1st.  I would imagine that he will set deadlines when he gets access again.

From schwarze's early sitemail  "I usually set three deadlines, the first deadline (mid July) is to have two teams done; the second deadline (3rd week in July) to have four teams finished; and the final deadline (end of July) to have all six teams completed. "

Correct. The first deadline will be mid July, I'll send out the exact dates when I return

First deadline means two teams entered

So can assume that WIS geeks like myself will get bonus points for having thier teams in already  

Ha! - Can't wait, never did this before and think it's a really cool idea.  Thanks in advance for all the legwork.

I'm chronically late every year getting my teams in ... I'm not sure how to process my life so far this year seeing as I already have all six entered. 

What the heck am I supposed to do for the next month???

damn I thought I was bad having 4 teams in but don't worry I am having a helluva time with the $100 mil team. that will take me a while.

I guess the fact that I have all 6 teams done means that I didn't put enough research into it. 

Got my six in, too... and a in the same boat as smeric as I try to figure out what to do with all of my time now....

I look at the teams I put together and try to figure out whether I'll lose 100+ games or not.

Done with all six.
