Steve to clarify, every player in 71 would get a new random roll.

Sounds good to me.... sign me up

I'm thinking we switch to 16 teams.  I don't mind if we switch because #1 we will fill faster.  2.  because 25 man roster times 16 teams is already 400 random roles each season.  It might get time consuming.  That's on top of running a draft (anyone who wants to run the draft please volunteer, I'll give up the free season for commishing the season.  3.  I don't mind if we have teams with better than average talent.  It will eliminate the need to add AAA.  Plus do you know how hard it is to find competent middle infielders in the middle 70s?  So, thinking out loud, let's move to 16 teams.  Also, shall we open it to second teams (one owner can own two teams)?  

That is, unless there are any major objections?  I think for now, we'll limit to one team though.  I've also messaged admin about $50 in prizes.

With a 16 team league, the prize money admin will give is $33.35.

I think this is a good idea but am not interested in a 16 team league. But, I had an idea that would save you some work that I had to share. You would only need to generate 24 lists of 25 numbers between 2 and 12. Then you could randomly assign each list to a team. Teams would have to order their players when they post their keepers.

I like 24 teams better, makes one manage better. Anyone can manage an all star squad.

I can set something up in Excel where we can copy and paste in all the players and it can generate the random numbers and assign the year to them in very little time.  So I wouldnt worry about it being time consuming.  As for the number of team, 16 is kinda low.  Id prefer at least a 20 team league.  24 ideally, but would be ok with 20.  Even if it takes a little longer to fill at the beginning.

OK I don't mind waiting, I'll send out a sitemail soon to gauge folks interest in team format.

I agree with brocktoon93

I'll get in on this if we can get 24

OK moser34, you are in!

I'm in a progressive in its last season and have been looking for a new one to take its place, but everything looks essentially the same. I like this unique idea and would like to come on board.

And I vote to wait for 24 teams as well, unless it's in danger of falling apart for lack of interest.

you're in mattedesa

I'll join.  Sounds like a great idea.   Though I would vote for waiting for 24 teams.
