I'll send a sitemail to the remaining four. How long do current owners usual have to reclaim before going to the waitlist? Anyone else want to set the league up?

Sorry, I've been out of touch from this league.  I was the one who reminded akira_hokuto that he had Commish honors for 1974, and told him I'd be back at that time.  I'd been wondering what was going on, but I don't see anything in this forum indicating what happened with akira or why shawbigred is doing the prompting now.

I would be happy to set the league up as soon as we fill up and teams are assigned!  Just let me know.

1973 World Series ended this pm.  

I thought that would be a good time to capture the owner rankings for 1974 team assignment, so I have done so.  I got the current rankings for the guys on the waiting list, too.

bump?  who is actually running this?

akira_hokuto has Commish honors by virtue of winning the 1972 World Series.  Unfortunately he appears to be AWOL.

We are up and moving now, though:

We had 2 guys not returning. shawbigred stepped up and started communicating with guys from the wait list. One of the open spots will be taken by msleath. It is taking a while to get the 24th owner because a couple of guys who were holdovers from last season's waiting list have declined.  One more holdover (ccyaz) has been sitemailed. If he declines, or doesn't respond, then we'll get to the guys who got on the wait list in this thread. Presumably, they would accept the spot.

As soon as we get the 24th, I will (1) assign teams using the owner rankings I collected immediately after the 1973 World Series ended, (2) make my team, (3) create the league, and (4) sitemail everybody.

Hopefully, we can start fairly soon after that, but it always takes a while for all the teams to get in.  Any owners remaining on AWOL would have to be replaced at that point.

I hadn't thought of this before, and nobody's ever asked, but I added something to the team assignment algorithm, so that there's no question:

In making the list of MLB teams, teams with the same winning percentage were listed alphabetically by the "franchise code" (e.g., ATL before PIT).
