84 owners is 3 and a half leagues. I think you meant 72.

Questions for the veterans:
1) Does it always take this long to get everyone verified and start playing?

2) If you had it to over again, would you have stopped at 84 owners?

1) No
2) Yes

Things have typically run more smoothly when we have had one commissioner who has the time to be fully dedicated to the effort. But that wasn't the case this year, and I am incredibly grateful to all those who have contributed their time to making sure that the WISC tradition continues as an annual contest.

I'm kind of surprised it went as smooth as it did. Pretty good for some volunteers. Like Contrarian said, grateful for the effort various people put in.

We should be launching the leagues tonight, barring any sudden issues.

Hopefully by 11:30pm EDT tonight (Monday June 12th)? I hope?

All leagues have been approved for scheduling.
Hopefully those will be out shortly and we can start grumbling about the unfair divisions of death the random alignment shoved us in.

My leagues have launched. Hopefully all of them did.

In my opinion, this has been a normal year as far as issues with rosters. Some of the issues were different this year that I’ve never seen, but I’ve been a commissioner for the last 3 years and feel it was very similar this year.

no I would have still pushed for full tournament

I think this year felt different because there wasn’t one “leader” as others have commented. But I think it went amazing overall and everyone did a great job navigating and staying flexible
