As a former sandlot and BricklayersII owner, I'd be waiting out the credits even though it's almost hopeless now. However, I jumped ship a long time ago to join up elsewhere and won't complain about being ineligible now.
Now that the decision has come down from WifS, they need to carry it out. Those leagues are not going to fill. I feel bad for lots of the owners involved. I wish it hadn't come to this - but we're here. If the decision is to delete leagues, then get crackin and delete some leagues.
Yes, there will be a handful of owners who bail entirely, but the vast majority are just waiting out the dispersal of announced credits. Get on with it.
