is it World Rickey?
Rickey World?
Rickey being Rickey World?

It would just be Rickey

Definitely agree that starting sooner is a good thing.

World Rickey is fine with me.

I also like previous suggestion of a movie character name such as Roy Hobbes or the guy from for love of the game.
Its all good.

World Rowengartner



World Stedman



World Harris

What about guy who was on the waiting list?

I'd like to suggest we name it after the great Juan Primo, who was brutally killed in a steam room for not giving up lucky #11 when Bobby Rayburn came to the Giants..

WIS determined that the league should start in June. I believe they are starting a few new leagues, and want to stagger them. With eight new owners, I think having a few extra weeks to take a look at all that is involved is not a bad thing anyway.

How many should we vote on for the board

I think 3 or 5 would be a good number.

Guys I would suggest since knee is running it would be guys that run leagues smoothly here. Josh, habs, soxyanks, fishnasty, and longer term guys who I don't know. Def would like 3 out of 5 to be live guys since this is mostly live guys and "our" startup league.

My inital thoughts were 5. 2 AL 2 NL and myself... I could be persuaded to go to 7. However I think for any issues if we had 7 guys you would need 5 votes. Any opinions are welcome.

I think 5 is a good number. If you go to 7, that is over 20% of leagie and too many.

2 AL, 2 NL and knee if a legit number

Agreed.

I'm a bit worried about that. Being a non-live guy, does it mean I'm going to be at a disadvantage, or just filler?

I don't think you should have anything to be worried about. You are not 'filler'

Think of it this way, Knee is 1/5 and he is much better known in HBD then live. The other 4 could be 2 live and 2 non-live as suggested. An even balance, and I don't think there is much to worry about.

This 'counsel' should be to prevent crazy **** and not used much is my hope and perceived plan.

Not at all nfet. In fact I have you on my list of possibles for the board.
